Fearless is good, and bad, so very bad.

I just hope her intelligence wins over. Didn't work for me, but I never claimed to be smart. ;)

Got to love Florida!

My daughter called me last night about 9:30 and she said, "Don't open the front door"!

Went to look out the windows on the front door, as she is standing in the street, and there is a little, baby alligator on the front porch. This one was only about a foot long. (had one a few years ago about 3 feet long)

She wasn't so worried about this one, but scared the mother might be about. Her boyfriend scared it off into the front garden... :)

Holy moly doula!

Would they be dangerous at that age,I can imagine a bite would still hurt like hell.

They could have course bite you, and the possibility of infection would be a concern too. We get some good sized ones in the nearby park. Most often just sunning themselves on the side of the water and they usually take off if someone gets too close. Rule of thumb in Florida... if there is water, expect an alligator to be in it!

Every now and then you hear of one being in someone's swimming pool, and they can be seen on golf courses sometimes too. Talk about a water hazard when playing a round of golf!

Here's a clip of a small one in a parking lot and one that had been wandering a neighborhood:

"Pissed Off Baby Alligator" - Video (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/933878/pissed_off_baby_alligator/)

10-foot alligator makes itself at home in Palm Harbor - St. Petersburg Times (http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/10-foot-alligator-makes-itself-at-home-in-palm-harbor/1057903)

KP, your son sounds adorable! And Alty you're right, you little girl is gorgeous. She will not only cause you many sleepless nights, but a few boys too! J will come around, he's already got a good head on his shoulders, if only he can stop hitting his little sis :p But he seems to be very caring, and loving, a great combo.

My little rug rat, we'll that's a totally different story. She is possibly the spawn of Satan. She is smart, way too smart for a 3 year old. And she remembers EVERYTHING. She is funny as hell in that smart mouth kind of way. Sometimes you don't know if you want to punish her for life or laugh your butt off. And with HUGE blue eyes, blond hair, and a voice that melts your heart, it's needless to say she gets away with way more then she should. Especially when Papa is around.

Doula, I think I would have crapped my pants to see a baby alligator. I would be no good int hose warmer states. Always paranoid and looking over my shoulder! I always wanted to go to Australia, but not any more with those Koala's on the loose!

Yep. Alligators in Florida. Went to visit my aunt and alligators in the back yard. Big ones.

Saw lots at the cape which was on the other side.

Or at least her father is...

Today I'm going to 'visit' (stalk) the coffee table I'm bidding on in next sundays auction.

I'm obsessing over a coffee table.

Work tomorrow will be a welcome break from decorating the house.

Back to school for me this morning... partly looking forward to it, partly wishing it was still summer break... :)

Hope the decorating is coming along nicely red. I had several projects I intended to get to during the summer break, but they are still waiting to be sorted... so much for my plan to become better organized!. :o

Now that I've started all I can see are the flaws,I was quite happy with the house before I started.

Back to work for me tomorrow,ciara has another 3 weeks off.

The other two will hopefully be starting college in September,their exam results are out on Wednesday.

Today their freaking out!! too late to worry about it now.

They will be fine,I've more faith in their abilities then they do.

It feels good to be on v2 again! I forgot that my 'contract' was over :p Back to easy surfing through AMHD! :D

Hi everyone, hope your all well :)

Hey Bear how goes it? All is well on this end of the world. :)

Hey Bear how goes it? all is well on this end of the world. :)

Good to hear bella, its bed time for me at this end of the world, good to hear your doing all right :), g'night :D

Sleep tight Bear ;)

Want to see what I did today?

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/recipes/another-creation-498860.html

Yum! One of the things I was going to do this summer was more cooking. Now school has started back up, but I am determined to make the time to experiment a bit, at least on the weekends.

How do you like using the bread machine?

Well it was my first time, and it was VERY easy. I kind of felt like I was cheating. I over cooked the bread just a touch, so the crust is probably a little darker than it was supposed to be, but the bread on the inside is awesome. I am going to make home made stew tomorrow for supper, so the bread will do just fine.

Have you used the bread machine before?

No, I have looked at them but wasn't sure if they would be more work than just making it myself! Wanted to get some opinions from those who have them to decide if I want to purchase one or not.

The bread with stew sounds wonderful!

Well I had an actual sour dough kit, so all I had to do was put the water in the pan, pour the mix over top of it, poke a hole in the flour and add the package of yeast. 2 hours later I had a loaf of bread!

Are you going to school? Or was that kid related?

are you going to school? or was that kid related?

It was teacher related!. :)

I make the worst bread in the world. I borrowed a bread machine to see if that would help but even that turned out horrible. Cakes, pastries, meals, anything else, no problem. Bread - forget it. Even the ducks in this vicinity are petitioning to take out an injunction against mine! :(
Luckily I live opposite a baker's shop. :)

Hello buddies and pals :)

Hey Muddy! What's up? :)

Crappy crap crap crap.

Ran out of wallpaper... grr.

Need one more roll to cover half a wall.

Uh ho... it's always so annoying if you need a little of something but you can't buy it in your required amounts... so you end up buying more than necessary...

Can you find some way to improvise? Like, place a furniture to hide this part of the wall? Of course, since I don't know how you did the previous ones, or how you want it to seem, or how much exactly is required...

Good luck anyway Red :)

Hey Muddy! What's up? :)

Oooh nothing much just finished watching True Blood online :) I really like that show!

True Blood... sorry, never heard of it :(

The only show I'm really into right now is Prison Break. I got to season 4 now, but I have seen only 4 episodes. I need to either find DVDs, get then borrowed from friends or online... but for the time being, studies.

Its in the hall by the front door,nothing for it only get another roll of wallpaper.

Good thing you haven't because you would be sucked into it.

It's basically about vampires. :p

Hot sexy vamps.

Is true blood the vampire programme?

hey mud,hows your day going ?

Yes true blood is about vampires :p

My day is going pretty okay, I feel like I'm all flubby, I haven't been to the gym in a week so bleh. Oh well, I'll go tomorrow.

How is your day going?

Ahh I also didn't get tattoos this weekend. I felt like I was jumping to it and I also felt a little uneasy about it so lol I'll wait a while and see if I actually still like it. I wouldn't want to just get a tattoo and then hate it later on...

Whoo back to work! That must be like "yay" and "oohh man" -- haha!

I got new bed sheets yesterday, oooh they are soooo nice 700 thread count, it's soft and silky I love them... They were REALLY cheap to at this discount store. (lol I really wanted the 1200 but those were a little too expensive for my current budget)

Haha I'll just make sure to change to my other sheets when I'm on my period lol you know accidents happen.

No cheese and toast in bed so!

Lol or man cheese.

:p

Muddy, when I was 15 I saved up $100 and marched myself down to the tattoo parlor. Got myself my first tatty. A frog. On my back, and in the most awkward place on my back.

A year later, saved up another $100 marched myself into the parlor again, but this time decided on Chinese characters for the word "Unity". Umm you, wish I gave those more thought.

I liked true blood, although the accents are rather funny :D

Loved the true blood series and the books. :) The theme music and pictures freaked me out a bit.

Theme music rocked, it fit really well an I'm not usually the western type :D

I've heard of True Blood but haven't seen it... might have to check it out.

Only shows I never miss are the big bang theory, law & order svu and futurama :D

Hi everyone.

How are all my peeps doing today?

Hi everyone.

Hi alty, erm... is how I shall answer that question

Haven't spoken to you in a while, how you doing :D

I'm doing good :)

Doing some research work for tomorrow for now :)

hi alty, erm................ is how i shall answer that question

havent spoken to ya in a while, how ya doin :D

LOL.

It seems like forever since we last chatted, doesn't it?

I'm doing.

Actually, I have some good news. I have an appointment with a surgeon on September 1, he wants to do a pre-op exam, than he'll be booking my surgery. It's the first step, so this is really good. :)

That's great news Alty, so as I understand it, he's going to draw on you with a marker pen drawing dotted lines where he's going to cut right ?

Then you can't have a shower until after he's done so they don't wear off :)


Hey Unky :)

Hey everyone :)

Was sort of caught into the research so didn't want to barge in with those research of mine :o

Reet, cya later going to go forrage for food :)

Cya Bear! :)

Just stopping in to say hi - it's been a while.

Alty, I'm glad you are making some progress on your surgery.

My turn now to go. Hey JLo! :)

Bye everyone! :)

hey Shazzy :)

heard they made new episodes of futerama, havent checked them out though

Are you kidding me... they air in the US around 7am Friday our time and I'm watching them by 8am :D

Surgery... wait... what... PM me!

then you can't have a shower untill after he's done so they dont wear off :)


hey Unky :)

LOL. It's not that type of surgery Bear, although I wouldn't be opposed to that. A little nip there, a tuck here, remove a bit of this and that, make other things stand at attention. Hmmmmm. ;)

Sadly it's not going to be a surgery where I'll look better afterwards, but I'm hoping that I'll feel much better. :)

So glad the solution seems in sight for you Alty.

So glad the solution seems in sight for you Alty.

Thanks Q. I'm actually excited about it. Not the surgery, but feeling better afterwards. I'm hoping this does the trick, at least partially, so that I can feel like me again. :)

Sadly there's nothing they can do about the IBS, but this surgery should put a little less strain on that part, so it may help a bit with that as well.

I'm optimistic. :)

Id say that is a better surgery than one making you look better, hopefully this will be the key that unlocks the door to you feeling better :)

Fingers crossed for you Alty :)

Thanks Bear. Now I just have to go through the surgery. That will be the hard part, but I'm a toughie, I'll bounce back quickly. Besides, I have two great kids and a hubby to help me. :)

You sure do :)

Sending my best wishes to you and any good luckh I have saved up for a rainy day

When is the surgery? If its not too personal to ask

I won't know when the actual surgery is until I go for my appointment on September 1. He wants to do an examination first, check my blood levels etc, and if I'm good to go, he'll book it. If not, I'll have to do whatever I have to do to get ready for the surgery before they can do it.

Hopefully I'm ready to go, but it may still be a while. Still, this first step is a path to the next, so I'm happy. :)

Ahh reet, yeah deffinetly a positive step :)

Hope you are given the OK, because that in itself would mean your getting better right :)

ahh reet, yeah deffinetly a positive step :)

hope you are given the ok, because that in itself would mean your getting better right :)

Not really. It just means that the medication I'm on is doing what it's supposed to do. This operation will hopefully mean that I can go off the medication and it will mean less pain, discomfort, less days spent in bed because I'm too worn out to get up. :)

It's all positive. :)

Yeah happy days for you, you get rid of them from the house and have more room now :D

I was thinking about you and your "planned" surgery recently and wondered how that was going. Glad it's positive. As long as your personality isn't found there and removed, you'll be fine.

I just read about a pig named "Normon" from a local produce market who has a fan club on FB. I forget his last name.

It has chopped and changed so many times.

They were online yesterday re-doing their CAO for colleges.

There is a battle on here for college places as finding employment is difficult.

Aoife is gung ho for college,Emer is more laid back and thinking about what she is going to wear to the party on Friday night!

Wouldn't that be the life? Open up a beach side bar or something? Sip on mixed drinks all day and make fun of tourists.

Hi KC! Long time no see! :) I hope you'll all good, despite wanting to go to Cabo ;)

Wouldn't that be the life? Open up a beach side bar or something? Sip on mixed drinks all day and make fun of tourists.

Yes I want to do that!!

Serve drinks in a bikini top and shorts. Also bear feet with an ankle bracelet.

Oooh that would be fantastical.

Right now I don't feel fantastic, last night was a friend's birthday, I left over cake this morning. I don't feel so good... I knew I should'nt have eaten that for breakfast.

Hey Unky! All is well on my side of the world. A man can dream can't he? :)

Hope you feel better Mudster. Being sick sucks. A trip to Cabo would make you feel better for sure. You, serving drinks in your bikini top and shorts... yeah, I could get used to that. ;)

I feel so bored today guys.

I see your new Avi pic... you must be bored! Hahahaha... goofball! :D

My brother got his results today, he got bbet than he hoped and is going to his first choice of uni, he's also more laid back like E :D

Well hello all!

We are having a great vacation road trip. Presently in Vail Colorado, rained all day but the ladies managed to shop and I now know the true meaning of 'mule' it (me) carries all the 'goods' and the money, exhasted... really.

Painted desert was fantastic, the Grand Canyon is a great big hole... really big! Took two jeep tours, helicopter ride and a hot air balloon ride (first one), great. The Rockie Mountains are terrific and extreemly beautiful.

All is well but tired. We will be back on Monday, I think I have lost track of all time.

Next stop is La Vista, Neb and then home, about 16 more hours of driving yet to go.

Miss you all, I am on the Hampton Inn computer and I am only allowed ten minutes... gotta go... later :)

Stringer

Sounds like an awesome time Stringer! Stay safe!

Wayhay to your brother.

I bet he's relieved!

wayhay to your brother.

i bet hes relieved!

He's happy about it yeah, but he wasn't exactly stressing about it

I really want to go to Cabo today :(

Man I wish I was out of this weird sad mood.

(pops in)
Hey, I came back in less than a year this time! Lol

How is everyone?

Hey Retsy! :)

I'll be taking my big exams in October. I think that's it as news for me, I'm in my revision period so, that's not that interesting.

And how about yourself? :)

Same ol same ol. We're getting a helper for me at work soon though! I've been doing interview this week, we have some good candidates.

I wish you luck for finding the right helper :)

Hi all!

Just got in about 7:30 PM... we are the walking dead... :)

Welcome back stringer,hope you all had a great time.

As soon as your rested we need pictures!

Sounds like it was an amazing trip.

I'm glad that you and yours have returned, Stringer! You've been missed! :)

Welcome back Sheriff! :) Waiting for pictures now ;)

Welcome back stringer, hope you had a great time :)

We did have a great time thank you all for the asking.

We saw some amazing sites. It was about time, lived here all my life and only saw pictures of some of this. It is an amazing country and the people were very interesting and polite everywhere we went.

I'll get the pictures up within the next few days, we are still unpacking and plan to rest from the trip a little. And tomorrow I have to deal with all the work that is awaiting me and catch up.

Marta's car will need detailing and the bugs on the front are so thick that you can't tell the paint color... :)

Good to be back though, no place like home. And all we forgot to do was ask my daughter to water the plants, lost a few, like the orchards... :(

Thanks again, nice to missed.

Sounds like a great time Stringer, glad to see you back. I love traveling, but you're right, the best part of going away is coming back home and being able to sleep in your own bed.

I can't wait for my trip next year to Alberta. It's going to be great to get away for 2 weeks.

How was every one else s week end? Congrats to our bro bear!
How's the house reno's coming Red?

Helllooooooo!!

I'm watching this thing online it's called True Life it's a mini documentary series about people in different situations, this one however is about two different girls who have Body Dismorfic issues.

I thought I had body issues but these girls boy THEY TAKE THE CAKE and SOME!!

Watch it here if you like: http://www.mtv.ca/tvshows/true-life/video_content.jhtml?id=1640435

In case nobodys seen this yet

YouTube - Woman throws cat into wheelie bin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYdUZdan5i8)

What a total phyco! Why would she even bother to pet the poor kitten. Some people have no brains!

Not a fan of these types of shows, but this is freaking amazing.

YouTube - Billy & Old Star - Mad World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo_t-mhrp4w)

Someone stop me,I can't stop eating today,totally staving all day long...

Maybe I'm going through a growth spurt?

Or maybe I'm just a hungry savage more like.

What a total phyco!! Why would she even bother to pet the poor kitten. some people have no brains!

Obviously didn't think of the possibility of getting caught on camera, who would suspect a middle aged woman :D

Now she'd been taken into police custody for her own safety since she's had so many death threats :D

Since we are talking about stupid videos. I wonder if this is going to make it to the law board. Sheesh!!


YouTube - Stupid woman hides 3 children in trunk of car - Police footage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0ewzZc2g0E&feature=related)

Both women are total dolts!

Hate to be a Debbie downer but the cat should have been kept indoors.

I agree that the woman is evil and should never have done it but that's a prime example of why cats shouldn't be let roam... what if she decided to throw it in front of a car?

Just wanted to say hey

Hey Adam how's it going?

Not to bad. Ready to go home for the day. I found a kitten and couldn't say no, so now I have a kitten.

Well congrats on the new addition. We expect to see pictures!

I just got some fish today. Two neon tetras, two orange fish have no idea what the names are, and a black and white speckled Molly. But I think one of the orange ones is going to die. He has been facing a corner and on the bottom of the tank since he was put in the water :(

Anyone know anything about emop?

Have not seen her online for a while.

Red, emop was caught in a spiral of lies, and probably will not be back... PM me if you want more deets.

I closed it. I love it when newbies come on the site, find a thread from 2007 and than piggyback a ridiculous question on it.

Sigh.

Oh. Hi everyone. :)

Was I the only one who thought it was funny that the op was asking if he could get TB from a fish with a possible tumor? Lol

I didn't even realize it was an old post.

I thought it was funny.

I only realized the post was old because AKA had posted on it and he hasn't been around in a long time.

Gawd Alty, we are the only ones out playing! Haha I'll get that site from you later ;) I mean what site? Who said that?

Okay, I guess it's just me :(

What happened to emop? I am curious now.

She just got caught in all of her lies. She contradicted her self one too many times, and basically a few of us were sick of her treating the rest of us like idiots, and we called her on it.

I'm here,ill play.

I installed the fire fox thingy,my screen is all weird.

Feels like driving someone else's car, I'm pressing buttons and in a mild panic.

My cursor has a teddy bear with ballon's flying around the screen.

Bizarre.

Hey Bella. Sorry I disappeared on you last night, I got caught up in a thread where the OP was really mean to Kit. It was totally unwarranted.

So I got woken up this morning at 7:30 am (yes I was still sleeping) by the phone ringing. I decided to let the machine pick it up because I was groggy and didn't feel like running to the kitchen to answer it.

So the person leaves a message and now my blood is boiling.

Background;

Two weeks ago we had to get a pay day loan from money mart. We borrowed $600 and had every intention of paying it back the following week. Well the poo hit the fan, some unexpected expenses came up, so we could only pay a few hundred dollars back, but we made arrangements to make another payment yesterday and than a final payment next week. They accepted.

If anyone has ever talked to me on the phone you know that I don't answer calls that show up on call display as Unknown name, Unknown number, or 1-800 numbers. If it's important they can leave a message and I'll call back. If they don't leave a message, well they obviously don't want to talk to me that badly, or they're selling something.

So the last few days I've been getting calls from a 1-877 number, Unknown name. I let the machine pick it up and they never leave a message.

Well this morning they did. Here's the message word for word;

"Okay enough is enough, this is Carla from money marts head office. We've been calling you nonstop but you never call us back. So here's the thing, this is going to be your last chance, your final opportunity to contact us, phone number given. Grab a pen, write this down, call us, NOW! Phone number given. This is your last chance. "

Here's the thing, we were just at money mart yesterday and made a payment, talked to the manager, told him that we're coming again next week and were told that that's fine.

So I'm fuming, angry, get up, make a pot of coffee, grab the phone, calm down, and I'm about to call Carla when the phone rings again. Here's the conversation;

Me: Hello.

Lady that barely speaks English (will be known as Lady); Hello, this is Lady from money mart, can I speak to R please.

Me: He's at work.

Lady: Can you please talk to him and tell him he has to call us back. He was supposed to make a payment on the 26th, today is the 27th.

Me: Don't you people talk to each other or check your records? I went with him to money mart yesterday and watched him make a payment, and he talked to the manager. When we left we were told everything was fine, but today I get a very rude call from Carla at head office and now you're calling claiming that we haven't even made a payment. What the hell is going on?

Lady: I am looking at our records right now and it's not showing that you made a payment, so please talk to R and ask him to call us otherwise this will go to collections.

Me: Lady, I was with him when we went to MM, I saw him make the payment, he has a receipt for the payment, and you're telling me that your records don't show it? This has me very concerned. How many times have we paid something and your records show that we haven't?

Lady: He didn't go to MM yesterday.

Me: Yes, he did. I was with him, my kids were with him, and a friend of ours was with him. I saw him make a payment. We have the receipt showing that he did.

Lady: Oh.

Me: This has me very upset. I don't appreciate being called by a very rude person from head office telling me this is my last chance, saying we never return the calls. She's never left a message until now, and I don't answer calls from 1-800 numbers. Now you call and say we haven't followed our agreement when it's very clear that we're the only ones following it and you people don't seem to talk to each other or keep accurate records, but you have no problem calling us to instill fear when we've done everything we promised we'd do.

You have to get this straightened out and I better not be getting any more calls threatening me that it's my last chance when I was never given a first chance and didn't need any chances period because we've done everything we're supposed to do.

Lady: I'm sorry ma'am. I'll check on this and get back to you.

Me: You do that. Good bye.

I am so mad I could spit nails.

Sorry, just had to share so that I don't explode. ;)

Should I call Carla back? Dog knows Lady won't be contacting her to tell her that they're in the wrong.

Call and get their fax number. Along with a written letter saying what you may... fax a copy of your receipt and the name of the person at the location where you made the payment.

This is their tactic, and it sucks! But when you do this along with the date that you will make the next payments it should get them off your backs.

Stringer

Sorry to hear this Alty. I hope things turn out better. Some people really...

Great advice Stringer :)

Oh I would most definitely call Carla back. Lady obviously called from a call center in an unknown land, and call centers and stores are very rarely on the same page.

I had a similar experience, well actually two of them, one with a HBC credit card, that was sent to me in the mail, and never used, all of a sudden I am being charged $65 and it's being sent to collections. I had to call my bank, and the manager of HBC credit cards, plus the manager of the collection agency that was harassing me. It was kind of funny, because they were all blaming each other.

Another time was with a water bill that was truthfully oaid EXTREMELY late, but paid none the less, the guy calling refused to believe I paid, saying he delt with people like me all the time and he wasn't born yesterday. Finally he called the H2O company and they verified that the payment was made.

So, yes call Carla, and have the receipt with you. It should have the agent who took the payments name as well as a transaction number for you to fall back on.

I am heading out to the camp, I'll be back on Sunday. Does R work nights this week coming, and is the other R leaving this week? He better, he is really putting a cramp in my style, but saving me loads in long distance LOL.

Call you Sunday Alty.

Sorry to hear this Alty. I hope things turn out better. Some people really...

Great advice Stringer :)

Thank you kind sir... :)

Alty... step 1, sort out the payment and show them the receipt.

Step 2, file a formal complaint against Carla.

Call you Sunday Alty.

*sniff sniff*

Hey Bear...

Got to ask, sorry if I missed it, "Never Forget
12/4/10" ?

That's the date my dog died,

It really is just a note since I'm here almost everyday and it will remind me rather than making a note somewhere and losing it

(english dating system by the way)

Hi all.

I called the number Carla left, asked to speak to Carla, was told that Carla isn't available and that she (the person that answered) could help me.

I told her my name, and R's (because he's the one that took out the loan) and told her I was very upset about the call from Carla, and the call from Lady, and the fact that we did make a payment, have never missed one, and we're getting these kinds of calls.

I told her I was very angry at the way they handled this and the fact that they obviously don't keep very accurate records.

She apologized and asked to hear the message Carla had left. I played it for her, she was shocked. She apologized again.

I told them that they had better not call again unless they actually had something to complain about, and if that ever happened Carla better learn to be more polite or they won't be getting any more of our business.

She apologized over and over again and said she'd speak to her manager about Carla.

I'm still mad, but at least they know it and they know they're at fault here, not us.

On a side note, Indy came downstairs again today. He can get down the stairs but can't get back up, so sooner or later he has to go potty and just sits downstairs barking for someone to carry him up the stairs. I can't, he's too heavy. R isn't home. So Indy crapped all over the basement and peed a river under my computer table. He's covered in poo and pee and every time I try to clean him up he snaps at me, so right now he's laying by my feet, laying in his own urine and poo and there's nothing I can do about it.

Today is a very bad day. :(

thats the date my dog died,

it really is just a note since im here almost everyday and it will remind me rather than making a note somewhere and loosing it

(english dating system by the way)

I am sorry Bear.

Yes, I was going to say that December 4, 2010 isn't here as yet. :)

Thanks stringer, yeah 12th April this year, then my grandad last month, yeah this year hasn't been a good one so far.


Hugs Alty

{{hugs}}

Thanks Unky. I need them.

I'm just having a really bad day.

Now, to top it all off, the number that's been calling every day just called again. I answer and no one is there. I call it back and I'm told the number is not in service.

Grrr.

Someone take me away from all of this. I need a vacation, or medication. ;)

It's me... remember me?

Sorry about Indy. I have to say that I am glad that you made the call. However I think that she won't do anything formal in the way of a complaint about Carla Alty. These companies do business this way very similar to collection companies. She wanted to make you feel better I think.

thanks stringer, yeah 12th April this year, then my grandad last month, yeah this year hasnt been a good one so far.

I know, it is terrible to lose loved ones Bear, I am sorry.

Of course I remember you Stringer. Sorry that I haven't been cheerful, I just feel utterly defeated today.

I'm the one that takes care of everything around here. R is great, he's a good man, but when it comes to running the house, taking care of the kids and animals, it's all on me. I can't do everything anymore. I can't be everywhere, and all of this stuff going on today just brings all that home. It's been a mountain waiting to fall and bury me, and today is the day it fell.

I'm looking at my 15 year old dog thinking that it's long past time to put him to sleep (not because he peed and pooed in my house, but because he's suffering, he's old, and he isn't enjoying this any more than I am), but I can't afford to.

The kids go back to school on Monday. I have half their school supplies bought, I can't afford the other half. It was Syd's birthday yesterday, I got her a coloring book and a little stuffed hamster. They weren't expensive, but even those two small things were more than we can afford.

I'm tired of being broke all the time, not having enough money to even take my kids to McDonalds as a special treat. What really burns my hide is that it doesn't have to be this way. We could be out of debt if R's sister would just give us our inheritance. She finally finished renovating R's moms house, and she had it on the marked for over 2 months at way above market price. They just took it off the market so now it looks like it will be another year (if we're lucky) before we can even hope to get what is rightfully ours. I say hope because it's not certain that she'll actually do the right and legal thing. She's rich, and she's willing to screw over anyone so she can get richer. In the meantime, I do without as much as I can (including my medication) so that my kids can get a coloring book and a small stuffed animal for their birthday. :(

I just want to curl into a ball and cry my eyes out, but I can't.

Sorry to load this all out here, but I can't keep it bottled up inside anymore. Today is the day that broke me. It's the final straw.

Well I sure know how to clear a room.

Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to whine and complain.

Please carry on with something fun and pleasant. I don't want to bring everyone down.

Here, I'll give you a topic. Coconuts, they're neither cocoa or nuts. Discuss. ;)

Still here alty.

Your really having a crappy day.

There's not much I can do to help,and sometimes words don't cut it either.

You're a good mother and your both good parents,this will pass,just tuck that thought into the back of your mind.

Tomorrow indy will hopefully feel better,the calls will stop and carla will gain 10lbs over night.

The next time Carla calls.. have whistle ready. A good whistle and get it as close to the receiver as you can and blow.. hard... Poor Carla no more calls.

still here alty.

LOL! I hope Carla gains 50. ;)

It's not the Carla thing, that was just the final straw. Maybe if I vented more these things wouldn't build up to this point, but believe it or not, I tend to keep my problems to myself, until I hit a breaking point.

Indy is done. He's been on his last legs for longer than he should have to be, but I can't spend money to euthanize him when my kids need back to school supplies, dental work, birthday gifts. I know, maybe it's selfish, but I have to have priorities right now. Indy isn't in pain, so that's something, but I'm not being a very good fur baby mom. I feel horrible about it because I know it's time. It's been time for a long time, but I can't afford to do it right now.

I need to win the lottery, or rob a bank. I think the lottery is more likely than turning to a life of crime, but I tell you, if I knew I could get away with it, at this point it's something to consider. I'm that desperate.

We shouldn't be having all these money issues. R makes a good living, but for some reason we're always playing catch up, not even living pay cheque to pay cheque. I don't know why. We don't spend a lot of money, we hardly ever go out to eat, we don't have luxuries, we both have older cars that are paid for. I just don't get it. Where is the money going? Why are we always behind?

I'm just stressed, and it's not good.

Now, about the coconuts. What are your thoughts? ;)

Watch Banged Up Abroad Online - Full Episodes of Banged Up Abroad & More TV Shows Online with blinkx Remote (http://tv.blinkx.com/show/banged-up-abroad/h85DoehnnNq8guBh)

Have any of you ever watched this series.

Its about 'tourists' who get involved in drug smuggling.

All have a common theme.

1. they all say 'what could possibly go wrong'

2. 'my gut said don't do it,I still did'

3. I'm sorry I got caught and the grief I caused my family.

Not one of them ever say,I'm sorry about the drugs and damage I did to the people who took them.

Even still its good TV,you end up shouting at the TV saying 'you idiot!'

Well I sure know how to clear a room.

Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to whine and complain.

Please carry on with something fun and pleasant. I don't want to bring everyone down.

Can't R have a word with her, saying how it really would help the family out


Do you have a friend that's good with maths that could help you go through where all the money is going to help you figure out where you can prioritize :)

If I win the lottery you win too.
We'll go to Ireland, pick up Red. Bella will come too. JudyKay and WG and Jake.Jlo and Jal. Wow!

Ah alty,have a smoke with me, and we will have a good b!tch about carla and her hairy upper lip.

Now that girl has problems!

I have no solutions to your problems but I know a great question and answer site that might help..

I have beer,smokes,and bony shoulder that yours to thump if you need it.

Carla is probably a cross dressing man who tried to fit his size 12 feet into a sie 8 stilleto. And his girdle is killing him.:eek:

LOL! Thanks everyone. Bear, you're squeezing to tight, relax the grip, I can't breath! ;)

Red, I'll take two smokes and a Coors light please. A sexy man in a thong wouldn't hurt, but he'll have to be a freebie.

Kit, Carla probably lives alone with 30 cats and a dandruff problem. She'll get hers. One day I'll call her and tell her off. ;)

You all made me feel better. You always do. Thanks.

You want coconuts?

Ahhh hmmmm..agai, Stringer is forgotten...:(

Oh my sweet, you could never ever be forgotten. You are always in my thoughts, and that's the plain simple truth.

I often think of our castle days, you and me against the duck, making plans for a wonderful meal only to have the duck outsmart us and get away, even thought she only had two tail feathers left.

Our antics with the whip, your jokes, your wonderful personality which shines through in every single post. You dear are a gem, and you shine. You could never ever be forgotten.

If I won the lottery I'd have an AMHD party. I'd rent a hall, and make all of you come to Canada. Of course I'd pay for the flight, the hall, the food, you name it. We'd go all out, either a formal ball, or a big BBQ bash. I'd give you all a taste of this beautiful country, and I'd even rent a polar bear so that Sneezy could finally get his wish. ;)

I love you all more than you could possibly know. You keep me grounded, you all make me smile even when all I want to do is cry. I can't thank you enough for that.

Man I'm being mushy today. Someone give me an upper! :eek:

I have many single friends Bear, some around your age, others that would be illegal for you to date in some states. ;)

Of course they're all single for a reason, but still, they're single. ;)

Cheers Alty, you'll have to introduce me to a few when I'm over there if they're still single :)

There's new singles every day in my group of friends. Apparently "alles hat ein ende, nur die wurst hat zwei".

Translated;

Everything has an end, only a wiener has two.

Ya, we Germans aren't the most philosophical (how the heck do you spell that, too lazy to look it up) people on the planet. ;)

Still sounds good to say though :) (in german not english :D )

Stringer you and Marta can come along. You have to dance with all of us.

Limbo...Salsa....:cool:

How about slow and sexy?

I'll remember you, Stringer. ;)

That's because you are a nice person and because I nominated you, remember me.

How about slow and sexy?






That sounds great. The song... Wonderland by Night!:)

actually striger i think its a ladies only trip :D

:mad: THAT would be no fun.

Green, red roses too. ;)

Ya, I'm an old soul.

I grew up with two parents that loved everything from Meat loaf (the singer, not the dish) to classical music. My favorite musical genre that my parents inflicted on me was the forest sounds. We'd come over for dinner, R and I, on Sundays and my dad always had to have a CD playing in the background. I remember sitting at the table eating roast to the sound of frogs farting in the forest. :p

My personal fav was ABBA. I knew all the songs by heart. I still do.

No all ladies trip. Girls, we need someone to bring us drinks and fan us when we get too hot! ;)

Also, sunscreen doesn't get applied all by itself. Just saying.

We need the guys, not only for the manual labor, but for gits and shiggles.

What's funny is when my children's friends find a new group to listen to like Aerosmith. :rolleyes:

LMAO! I saw them in concert. Loved it. I got high just by being there, didn't need to light up a thing. ;)

My cousins 22 year old daughter thinks that Meatloaf is a new band. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. I listened to Meatloaf when I was younger than Syd. I'm almost 40.

Is Meatloaf still alive? ;) ;)

Is Meatloaf still alive? ;) ;)

Yes.

I love MeatLoaf. I even watched the Pick of Destiny because he had a cameo as Jack Black's father. :rolleyes:

Oh I would do N-E-thing for love... but I won't do that :D

Meatloaf is a legend :D

Alty.. you got to watch this.

What is wrong with posters today!

There either looking for permission to contact ex's after pages of advice,not getting that no one is going to tell them how to kill themselves after 5 pages,or that you can't be responsible for someone else's happiness!

<head on desk>

I'm so mad I want to SCREAM!!

No Reddy, it's not the person you are thinking of. Unfortunately I can't talk about this here... but had to blow some steam off. I feel better... I guess... for now.

Get a stick J and beat the living hell out of a bush...

It really helps,and it keeps the neighbours away.

ARghhh, I don't have any bushes. Will someone's torso work?

Sure.

But choose wisely.

Why not have a go at someone else, I can take a verbal bashing,I'm an ex wife and I have teenagers, I can take a hit!

Oh, darlin' you aren't in my sites at all.

Oh, darlin' you aren't in my sites at all.

Does not matter a damn,at least it will rid the frustration and I won't hold it against you;)

The crap thing about this site is you can't invite anyone around for coffee or meet up in town for a chat.

Ticking off days until he can text her? Yeah, I want to scream at him too.


J, you know we will be here for you blow off steam if you want or we can distract with Heath's Dancing Bears. We're here for you. {{{J}}}

Ah, just had to type it out. I'm fine now... kinda... well... still PO'd... but concerned. I think the benadryl is kicking in. I went from 150 wpm to about 10 wpm.

This is hard to believe... wow... not sure this isn't cropped or staged.

What an exhausting week end. So Friday around 4:30 5ish we get to the camp, my mom and dad were out there too, so me and my mom and E and Lady decided to go for a walk. We just cracked a beer, and headed down the back trail. I let Lady off her leash and she had a good run. Next thing I know I hear this horrible thrashing in the woods. I was like what the heck did she catch, figuring it was a rabbit or a worse, a skunk.

She comes running out of the bush, and runs right back in, I caught a glimpse of white on her face, I thought she caught a cat or something, I call her out and out she slinks with a mug full of quills. They were in her gums, her toung, her chest, all over her nose, in her eye brows, and on her paws.

Had to rush her to the emerg vet which was about hour from the camp. Along the way my moms cell phone started ringing. She has horrible reception, so the guy on the other end was cutting out. I caught: "This is _____ from NS Power___, do you have a camp_______?" I was like I have no idea what you are saying, I can't hear you at all. My mom's yelling at me in the back ground to hang up, don't give this guy any personal info, blah, blah, blah. Well The curiosity got the better of me, and I called him back from my cell, and he was like "I found your (actually my MOM'S!!) wallet on the side of the road. Your visa's were all over the place, your money, your ID, everything! Do you guys have a camp out at blankity-blank lake?" Just so happened he new people who camped out there too, and was on his way out there!!

Well $400 later, Lady comes out of emergency, wagging her tail and happy to be quill free. At least she got her nails cut and her teeth checked while she was under. The funny thing?

This is her second time in a month that she got hit by a porcupine! A least the last time it only 5 quills, and I was able to pull them all out.

Never been so happy to be home!

Bella, I think you should take a break from camp. ;)

I say we all head to Ireland to see Red. :)

I say we all head to Ireland to see Red. :)

Someone will have to smuggle me in, but I'm game.

Ooh, can I pretend to be Irish and talk with an accent? Pretty please?

Wait... I'm german and I can't even do a german accent. Better nix that. ;)

Do you know what bella,the plants are really conspiring against you.

If its not one thing its another.

They say things happen in 3's.

1. stalker

2. lady vs jungle

3.lotto win! ( lets hope for 3) you could do with a bit of luck.

I say we all head to Ireland to see Red. :)

I say come.

I have new duvets and the older two are starting college next week... I don't know if I'm delighted or terrified.

No need to smuggle,were pretty laid back here..

Make sure ye hit the duty free though.:D

RED! I like your thinking! Things happen like this to me all the time. I go through a string of bad luck, and then everything kind of evens out for a bit.

But I am SO down with going to Ireland. I am totally going to fake the Irish accent. I'll smuggle you in Alty. You said you were flexible right?

i say come.

i have new duvets and the older two are starting college next week...i dont know if im delighted or terrified.

Plus, you just remodeled. I'm sure you want to show it off. I really would love to visit Ireland - after all I am part Irish. My mom's mother was born there.

Well, I'm sure your daughters going to college is a mixed blessing. I went 500 miles away from home. The first semester I'd call my mom at least once a week feeling all sad for being away. I'd be studying late into the night, not noticing the time, and sometimes would call at 2 am or so. She said I gave her heart attacks when I did that. :o By the second semester, I had settled in and my mom had become used to not having a kid at home any more.

I'm loving the 'new look' of the house.

<will post pictures!>

Ill still have ciara at home and a hoard of animals to care for,and brendan is just next door,so all in it won't be so bad.

Whens the wedding JLo? October?

Bella, it will all even out.

Just think of it as using up all your bad luck for the next 10 years,squashed into 3 months!

October 9. :D Carolyn's wedding is September 18. We've been busy so the time is going really fast. I am at my aunt's house in LA this weekend. She's working on my dress. Just a few final adjustments, and then she's ready to start the beading. She won't need me to try it on again until a week or two before the wedding, just to be sure I haven't changed sizes at all. It's so pretty.

Red, I have to be smuggled, I don't have a passport. Even when I do have a passport I have issues because I'm not a Canadian citizen, but I live here.

Leaving usually isn't a problem, but coming back is.

Sigh. I wish I could travel. I'd settle for being able to get into the States. ;)

I can't wait to see pictures. I'm so happy for you.

Wow, October is right around the corner. You nervous yet?

Wow, October is right around the corner. You nervous yet?

I don't feel nervous at all, but I am excited. We get back from the honeymoon near the end of October, and then the holidays are already upon us. I also will be gearing up for my busy season. By December, I'm working 60 hours a week usually... and between January and April 15, it steadily increases until I get up to 80 hours a week. So, we are having as much fun as possible now! :cool:

I just found this little gem of a spelling on the boards (PREAGNEAT).

Jlo,sounds like your going to be a busy women,I'm so happy things worked out for you.

Preagneat? A neat preag? Prague that looks neat? Pre-ag-neat?

Sigh.

If you can't spell it, don't do it. That's my motto. :)

So am I. At least now I know I can deal with just about anything. You guys were all such a great help - kept me laughing and gave me something to look forward to when I was home for so long. :)

I'm so lucky :)

Last night I was out exploring the town, when I decided to go watch scott pilgrim vs the world (great film, go see it, especially if you like your games)

Anyhoo, came out of the cinema , its dark and I have no idea in which direction home is (I recently moved and haven't had time to explore which is what I was doing)

So I'm hesitant to ask the stoned and drunk people about town at that time and I see an ambulance parked outside a pub across the road and the ambulance driver is getting back in,

So I nip over and ask if she can point me in the direction of 'home'

She says yeah sure the hospitals near there ill drop you off,

So I get in and get a lift home :D

so i get in and get a lift home :D

Was she cute? ;)

You are going to be a beautiful bride. ;)

Enjoy the fun time and be prepared for the hectic time. :)

My son once phoned me at 4am to ask me what his blood group was. That very nearly did give me a heart attack. Long story short - him and his mate were drunk, mate got hurt (busted nose) , drunken son thought he could somehow be heroic and offer the hospital his own blood for his pal. Sheesh!

Was she cute? ;)

I was kind of too releaved that id be getting home and how someone was being so kind to me so I didn't really have time to think on that :)

I think they will. He's a great guy and you know how wonderful she is. He has a 2 1/2 year old son (widowed), so Carolyn is jumping right into motherhood.

Thanks, Cat. You made my day. I am going to be a bridesmaid in Carolyn's wedding. I'll send you and Cats a picture in a couple of weeks. After all, you should know what your daughter looked like. ;)

i was kinda too releaved that id be getting home and how someone was being so kind to me so i didnt really have time to think on that :)

Riiiigggghhhhhttttt... we all believe that. :rolleyes:

That's funny (now) - I can imagine the heart attack. I'd call my mom for things like... I'm writing an essay and I can't think of the right word. Well, I did that a few times, until she asked me to stop scaring her.

Riiiigggghhhhhttttt ... we all believe that. :rolleyes:

OK fine, she was in her late 30's early 40's kind of too old for me, plus the paramedic uniform isn't that flattering.

That AND what I meantioned before :)
