Be grateful its not a real bat matey ;)

Oh my God, I am so happy you do not have a real one. It sounds like you want to hit me now.

Joe running scared away from the computer. Lol

Giggle trust me you would know if I did ;) I've just packed ben and millie off to feed the ducks I'm going to go clean my dinning room because it becomes a bit of a dumping ground for all the stuff I can't be arsed to put away in the week hehehehehe

Hi everyone,
I hope everything is allright all heart. We do wory when we don't hear from anyone because we're more like family than friends, we're also goddesses. Joe, I'm promise you I'm trying to find something to call you guys. Laura, Millies toy is in the mail. Joe, I might have something for superbaby as well. Let me know if you're interested.

Love to all. Have a nice day.

Chippers

Hehehehehehe ill be sure to take pictures for you chippers when she gets it she gets so excited over parcels hehehehehehe

Golly Gosh where are all my ladys gone?? Yeah I mean you too joe ;)

I'm still here. Just being quiet more lately, lol!

I've recently been doing some things with religion, and taking care of my parents, and work has been a jumble, so I don't have as much time to post as I used to.

I still think of all of you every day, though, and I'm still keeping your place warm up here, Laura!

:D Im glad your OK Synn I just like to know we are all doing OK xx

Actually, I've been doing better this week than I have in a long time. I've found a "church" to be involved in, and we had Circle on Sunday (albeit a small circle), and I'm liking my job a bit better, and it's been warm and sunny the last couple days.

I'm always so glad to see the start of spring!

:D all these little things help us don't they :D
Me and millie just made little fairy cakes hehehehehe

Fairy cakes?

What are fairy cakes?

Hehehehehe little sponge cakes with the tops sliced off and then a dollop of icing on and the bit you cut of sliced in to and put in the icing to look like wings

Can you send me some?

Have you been a good honorary girly Joe?? I think Lily deserves them more giggle

Those sound soooo cute!

Yummy too :D

Yes, laura they would be for lily. Not for me.

Come on now laura, calling me a girly. Maybe I will start to hide in my room and cry like one.

So are you going to send some to lily now?

Lol lol lol

Joe

LOL Lily deserves more than fairy cakes ;)

Good morning everyone!
The weather's been nice lately so I've been outside with the boys and taking advantage of the doing some walking myself. So far I feel really good. I'm staying at 3 cans of caffeine soda. The neuro doc changed around my meds a little and I've been a little sleepy lately. I't'll be a little while befoe the drwsiness wheres off but its worth it.
Mr. chippers is doing well. He's in physcial therapy and behaving himself.
Laura send me a fairy cake. They sound so good.hehehe. Ryan has been making school buses out of graham crackers, chocolate icing, mini oreo cookies for the wheels and corn chex for the windows.. they're actually pretty good. Maybe millie would like to do that to.
How are you dong Syn. I'm glad to hear from you and everything is going well.
Instead of calling joe girly we could call him curlyjoe.hehe.

Love to all.
Chippers

How are you my sweetys?? Been a weird week I'm under the weather for personal reasons I'm certainly not going to broadcast to the world giggle!!
Chippers my sweet how's you feeling and how's mr chippers doing?
Synn are you being a good girly?
I know joe is OK I'm so lucky I get to talk to his lovely wife too now :D
Allheart has been in touch and she is doing just fine just spending some time with the special angel we were all told about.

Thanks to Laura, Chippers, Synnen, Joe, pep talks from Val, Cap and his cute puppy oh and Chantix, and all our other well wishers, going on 10 weeks :) and REFUSE to look back :)

Thanks for asking!

Or at least I would if bloody hotmail would open ggggrrrrrrr

Hotmail is being a will bugger. It is buggering up all the time now. It sucks to have hotmail... I think I might give up on it and use Yahoo instead!!

I still owe Allheart some baby pictures.

Sorry for the delay. So many things on the go, so many things happening. It is never ending.

Joe

I have now been 82 days without a cigarette.

I've been so sick this last week, that for the first time I was truly grateful NOT to be a smoker anymore.

Where are my lady's??

(hiding)

LOL I know where your hiding Synn you've been in the loony bin giggle

Oh my Dear Laura :) - Sending many hugs.

Synnen, sweatheart miss you as well.

Love to Chippers and Joe and one and all.

Think of all of you often and always in my heart :)

Much love to you all -

Hehehehehehe I just like to make sure we are still about.
Hope your well sweety xxxxxx loves you

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I wasn't feeling good. Today my mother died suddenly. My main concern now is my children and father. I'll be in and out for a while.

Love,to all,

chippers

Ps. Lauren, I need your address again. The package came back because I screwed something up with the numbers

Chippers my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have a lot to deal with. Just remember we are all here whenever you need to talk or just need a good laugh.

Joe and family. Hugs xx

My last cigarette was 01/03/2006 at 9:48 am--that's how important it was to me then, I knew the exact time. I only remember it now because I realize how much it stinks--the act itself, my hands afterwards, my hair, my breath & my clothes--everything. You've got to be ready to quit for whatever your personal reasons are. The reason I wanted to quit was a mid-fortyish coworker & her nasty cough. I thought any day we would experience her actually coughing-up a lung. Also, I calculated how much I'd spent in 20 years of a pack-a-day smoke-breaks. And I'm just turning forty (supposedly mid-life--I hope I get another forty). Another thing, you know how anxious you can get if you are running low on your supply? I still have the last pack I drew from. There are about eight cigarettes left in the pack, but when I was quitting, I knew they were there if I really wanted one--no anxiety about being "out of cigarettes." And now, they're too old to smoke. You do whatever you need to do, I'm only sharing what has worked for me so far. In reality, I could easily backslide & become a smoker again--right now, I don't want to. I just hope everyday stress doesn't lead me back to that habit, there are far too many other things I would like to experience. Good Luck!

My Dearest Chippers,

Laura was just on the search for you and worry was setting in.

I am so very sorry to hear about the sudden passing of your Mother. Bless you and your family during this difficult time.

I believe in my heart that your Mom is resting in peace and watching over all of you.

My deepest and sincerest sympathy,

Love you Chippers.

Yep that was my first task this morning to email chippers :D but she poped in so at least we know she is OK even if the rest of her life is a wobbly goo at the moment.

Thank you everyone. Even though it's a tough time. My heart sings from the love and support from my specialk frineds that I have here. Mom died suddenly which is ablessing that she didn't linger or in pain. I know she's watching down over us and is with her own mother whom she missed dearly.

Love to al chipers.

O hunny it was bad enough losing my dad but my mum heck that would just about tare my world apart shudder I can't even begin to imagine what your feeling just remember to take time to yourself also your just as important as everyone else xx

Chippers,

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother.

May you be blessed with good memories to get you through this very hard time.

If there is anything at all I can do, please let me know, and I will do my utmost to do it.

My love and thoughts are with you!

Synn

My dad and I talked today going over the plans for her funneral. If anything my mom had impecible timing. She wouldn't dare be buried on April fools day. Still I'd rather have her here with me. We could go at it where my father would try to refere but the thought of bodily harm kept him on the side lines. Yet she could be loving and caring. I saw that when my husband was deployed in Iraq over the summer. Being a veitnam wife she knew what I was in for.

I am blessed with such great friends as you all. Your love and friends ship is better than anything I could want or need.

As of Monday I will be going to Delaware to help my father sort through her things and help him pick out something to where. She was modest and as dad put it gentel.

I'll take my lap top with me so I can pop in from time to time. I'm doing okay. I'm to write the obit and an eulogy. I want to celebrate her not mourn her.


Love to all,

Chippers aka Beth

Many hugs to you Chippers. We are all right there with you.

Love you honey.

We are here for you that's what friends are for keep strong millie is sending lots of cuddles too xxxxxxxx

Take care of yourself Beth.

We all love you.

Lots of hugs.

Joe and family xx

Joe I love your pic. But I have the feelling you are more of the big curdly teddy bear type than a lion. My kids are great. I'm going tomorrow after I make a few arrangements here. I'll be taking my cat (yes her name is chips) for my comfort zone. I can't possibly tell express what all of you mean to me not just at this moment but in the general sense. Aside from my husband and kids, I've never been more blessed. I have you, laura, christine, Synnnen. You're closeer to me and very dear. If I missed anyone I'm sorrry. You can verbally beat me up later. (snicker snicker)

In times like this, we realize how important life is and the value of the people we choose to let in to our lives. It wasn't by chance I came into this web site but as if the hand of God had guided me.
whether in person, or on the web as we are, we are all very good and kind friends. The ones worth earning and keeping.
I have one request from everyone. Go to your loved ones no matter who they are and hug them. Kiss them and tell tem how important they are to you and that you love them. There's no reason to it just the feelings you have inside. I know this because of the out pouring of lover you're giving me.


LOve,

Chipers

Ps. I kind of fell of the soda wagon. Don't hold it against me because I need a coke classic fix. Hehehehe

Oh Dear Chippers,

I promise to honor your request. And part of doing that is for me to tell you, that I truly do have great love and care for you in my heart. You are so very special. Your genuine kindness shines right through. Bless you now and always.

Love you Beth, very much!!

Chippers you drink as much coke as you like your most certainly allowed you have great reason to have a little comfort.
Thinking of you lots of love and cuddles xxxxxx

Oh goodness.

With everythign else going on for you, you're thinking of US, and about falling off the coke wagon?

Good gooses, woman!

/hugs to all of you, because you all mean so much to me, and Chippers told me to hug my loved ones.

Good gooses? That's one of the funniest thing I've heard of. I consider myself blessed to have friends like you and Joe, Christine, Laura (MILlie and of course Superbaby) in my life. It makes life all the more important to me and the rest of us. Its like our own private little meeting place where we can come and chatt. Talk about a problem knonwing there's an abundance of support and love. When Mom died, you were the frist place I wanted to come to because my friends are here. I feel blessed and honored to call you my friends. Were miles away and yet I feel like were neighhbors. I like that feeling. Mom would've liked you too

We know we can come here to talk about a problem without worrying about anyone thinking badly of us ans just to talk about our day to day lives. We also make each other laugh too. So yes, it's easy to be thinking about you regardless of the event.

Besides, you don't try to correct my grammar or spelling.


LOVE,

Chippers

Tee hee I wouldn't dream of correcting you hunny joe yes but that's a different story ;)

Sure gang up on me. Well I am sure I will miss a lot. Considering I am working straight days now. See you all later.

Leo

Sure gang up on me. Well I am sure I will miss a lot. Considering I am working straight days now. See ya all later.

Leo

You get on and do that work so lily can be a lady that does ;)

That does??

Hypathetitcal dear lol she does as she pleases so she is a lady that does ;)

Oh all the questions. You know me with my english terms not up to snuff on them. Lol

Leo the Lion, roar.

Leo the lion? Be grateful it isn't clarence the crossed eyed lion. Yes dear, all ladies like to be ladies' of leisure from time to time that's what we try to instill in our husbands on occaision. Lying on silk cushions drinking crystall and our every whim granted.
Then our husbands have the nerve to instill reality. That's when every now and then I keep mr. chippers in check by telling him he can be replaced by a vibrator and the local sperm bank.(jokingly of course. He's my rock and soul mate)
Humor as well as sex and the occaisional all out brawls(verbally) keep a marriage strong and healthy. But at the end of the day, we kiss each other good night and reaffirm our love.
God bless you on days Joe, especially if you aren't a morning person. I totally feel your pain(hehe). While I was on days I was affectionally known as the grumpy dwarf of 7am and that was on a good day. I'm a night person in general. I looked at the shift as a tunnel. At 7am I entered it and by 3pm I came out of it and on my way home. Anything goes in between.
Joe, let me know if you want any toys for superbaby. I have a couple he might love. They're clean but might need a swipe of a baby wipe or two due to mailing
Laura, I'll remail the smart street toy to Millie on Tuesday after easter with a little note from auntie chippers.
I'll be in Delaware for my Mom's funneral on good Friday. So I'll touch base with everyone after that.
I can't thank everyone enough for your outpouring of well wishes and love you have shown me. It means allot knowing I have friends as wonderful as you are. To which none of you can be replaced by anyrhing. I LOVE ALL OF YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!

Chipppers
Aka Joan's daughter.

Ps. My new pic hasn't gone to my head. I'm only regal and royality in my dreams. Hehehe

Hehehehehehe you are funny bless you, I've been up half the night with millie for no apparent reason she has woke this morning in her usual crazy self.
I really can't believe its easter already blimey wheres time going?
Be good you wonderful people chippers your in my thoughts xxxxxxx

Just don't worry about it, chew chewing gum and plop some cucumber over you eyes - don't think about it, don't stress and get a niquit thingy..

Okay good luck byee x

It was waaay too hot last night :(

Cappy, I'm looking for a frying pan myself now.

It's going to snow here today, and I had to shut my house back up and turn the heat back on yesterday.

Too hot.

Hrrrmph.

Me thinks you need to get yourself a monkey pic and signature ;)

You guys are to funny. Yesterday I was running around in a shirt and jeans and today I'm bundled under the blankets with 2 cats!! I'm at my witts end with this weather and I have no witts about me and the knot at the end has come undone. Hehe. I'm glad I have you to keep me grounded.

Love,
chippers

LOL chippers I know what you mean it's the same here I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses the cats as hot water bottles giggle

Just popping in to say hello to everyone.

Chippers, thinking about you sweetie and sending special hugs.

Love to all,
Allheart

IF you snore or have sleep aptnia (stop breathing for 30 to 90 seconds when you are sleeping) now is a really good time to have the surgery to cure the problem. In fact any mouth, nose or trout surgery will make it nearly impossible to even be around someone else who smokes giving you 2 to 12 weeks to get off the hook. Smoke simply smells so bad for a while you can not stand it.

Never heard of that before, meaning the surgery.

I have a couple of family members that have sleep apnea.

Your signature makes sense. Ignoring a problem always makes it worse, not almost. Lol

Joe

Ohhhh I want to be an Ear, Nose and Trout surgeon! Or should that be Sturgeon? A Sturgery?

Happy easter everyone.
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Mom's funneral service was Friday and I spent the week with my father getting everything ready. I want to thank you fior all your love and well wishes. They were greatly appreciated by me and my family.

Love to all my friends,

Chippers

Love and hugs chippers I sure hope your doing OK your never far from my thoughts xxxxxxxx

Ohhhh you're so sweeeeeeeet!! I carried your thoughts with me everyday last week. I even told my father about all of you and how great you are. He smiled and said they sound like good people. To dad there's nothing better than good people.
But we all know he isn't saying something I didn't already know.\

Love chippers

Chippers,

I spent yesterday with family, for Easter, and could not get you and your family out of my thoughts.

I told the family about your family, and the loss you just suffered, and everyone's hearts went out to you. We included you in our prayers, and my 3 year old niece added "God help them to not be sad anymore because she's in Heaven".

Hope our prayers and thoughts helped you get through what must have been a very hard weekend.

Much love,

Heather

Aaaaaawwwww Syn that's a lovely thing to say :D

We have had quite a productive 4 day weekend ben helped our neighbour put up new fencing and me and the wife of the neighbour helped by watching ;)
Ben is going away for two days tomorrow this will be the first time I've been alone with millie since she was tiny I'm not looking forward to it she really isn't going to understand why daddy isn't there.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week lots of love and hugs to you all xxxxxx

Syn, you're the best. I had tears in my eyes when I read your note. Please give your family my best and kiss your adorable niece for me. From just knowing you, I can see where her heart of gold comes from.
Easter went pretty well considering. We sat around talking and actually found ourselves laughing at the memories we have of mom and the good times we had with her. It was good to do this as I know my mom would want us to remember her with smiles and not tears. My dad came and spent the day with my boys before dinner and my brother came with his kids.
She was always my rock and even more so last summer while mr. chippers was in Iraq.
Your prayers were felt. They gave me comfort, especially knowing I have such wonderful friends. I told my dad all about you and he says I'm lucky to have good people like you in my life. He only echoed what I already know. I feel very blessed.

Laura, I know what it's like to be alone with a little one while daddy is away. As long as you keep reassuring her he'll be back, you'll be all right and so will she. If possible ask your husband to call if he can and let him say hi to her. Mr. chippers is going away for his national guard drill this weekend and if the weather is nice we're going to a drive in movie. I'll be REMAILING her present out this week now that I've got the address right. It'll go by fast before you both know it.
Remember were here if you need us. Were only a little click away.

Much love,
Your fellow goddess and friend.

Beth

Hiya beth,

Its not been to bad a day quite busy in fact millie only got upset around bed time but I coped tomorrow is another story though but she will be glad to see her daddy by dinner time that's for sure.
I can't even imagine what it must have been like to have hubby away for long periods especially in iraq it was bad enough knowing my friends 18 year old son was there for 6 months then another posting there 3 months later thankfully he got sent home for christmas and they decided he didn't have to return :)
Hugs to you xxxxxxxx

Oh hugs to you Laura... before you know it Ben will be walking through that door. You and Millie hang in there and have lots of hugs waiting for him.

Sending lots of good thoughts so you girls have sweet dreams :)

Love you both!!

happy easter everyone.
sorry I haven't been around lately. mom's funneral service was friday and I spent the week with my father getting everything ready. I want to thank you fior all your love and well wishes. they were greatly appreciated by me and my family.

Love to all my friends,

Chippers


Chippers - just lots of hugs for you. Hope you don't get tired of them :):).

Love you honey!

It was so sweet when the phone rang after we had spoken to him she looked at me all pethetic saying dada hehhehehe she is such a daddys girl :D

Lots of love to you Ah I hope your well xxxxxxx

Synnen - How's things been with you of late?

Guess what guys - I finished the medicine Chantix on Friday. And guess what else, I want a cigarette sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
Bad.

That medicine must really really work. Being off it feels like when I first started trying to quit. I was on the medicine for 3 months. You can go on it another 3 months, but I am just so tired of medicine. I am just going to push through this madness.

The mornings are the absolute worst! But I refuse to go back, but I really really really miss my cigarettes. I think the only thing that is keeping me from lighting up is my lungs do feel so much better. My asthma has been really good.
I love and miss all of you.

Many hugs to all of you!

It was so sweet when the phone rang after we had spoken to him she looked at me all pethetic saying dada hehhehehe she is such a daddys girl :D

Lots of love to you Ah i hope your well xxxxxxx

Oh Laura, you got me half smiling and wet in the eyes here. How incredibly sweet!!
But what is going to be even better is when Ben comes home! See, that is what it is all about, isn't it :). There really isn't anything to top that!!

Love you guys. Hope tonight and tomorrow just fly by for you all.

You're right, there's nothing to top a child's smile. My oldest and I went out today and spent the day together. He talked about grandma and he let out a few things he was keeping inside. He feels guilty because he didn't have a chance to talk with her before her passing.
It may sound bad but I want him to open up and maybe cry a little. It'll come in time. He's been running around trying to keep busy and try not to think about it.
Christine, hang in there, were holding onto you. You've all done so well in not smoking and I'm very proud of you all. And no, I'd never get tired of hugs. Especially from my fellow goddesses. Our hugs combine our strength and our charm.:p . I think right about now we all could use a ride down the stairs in the clothes basket. I was retelling my family Sunday about the day Ryan created the ride. They couldn't believe there was no hole in the wall.
Laura, it'll pass by fast I promise you. Before I knew it mr chippers was home. And I was better looking. The last impression he had of me was the HUGE black eye I had after walking into a glass wall. Those of us in the U.S. who have seen the windex commercials have a good idea of what I did.( and yes I actually did that and no I have no pics of it)
I'm sending hugs and love to all of you. We all are having a time right now and I can think of no one better than my friends here to coplete the circle of friends with than you.

Love
chippers

I love you guys. Many hugs.

I want a cigarette so bad. Oh, not sure I am going to make it... I can not believe how hard it is off the medicine.

I miss my cigarettes, my very best friends. I felt so much happier when I smoked. Ohhhh sorry guys, really battling here.

But... I still love you all so very much!

Allheart, Know that my thoughts are with you. Remember the pictures of superbaby family. Let us give you the strength to stay strong and healthy and away from things that could harm you which are the ciggerates. We all have our bad days but it is friends that keep us strong. It is family and friends that help each other get through things. With a hug, with a picture, with a smile. So my hugs to you Allheart. You make me smile. I want to make you smile just by reading what I have written. Nice and calm and peaceful thoughts. I know earlier it might have not seemed that way with me, but I am happy with my family here at home and with you guys here. I am lifting you up and remember God is always holding you in his arms.

Amen.

Joe

Amen Joe.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your words and heartfelt prayers,oooooh honestly gave me a chill - A very good chill. I was getting so close. Was even going to ask permission if I could just have a couple of puffs.

But honestly reading your words - I do feel a loving strength. The urge has really diminised.

Bless you Joe - Bless you :)

Allheart, honey... give me your hand.

You're up here, on the top branch... look what a scary drop it is going down!

I know how hard it is... I *still* have very bad days where I would do just about anything for a smoke, just one puff, and it's been almost 4 months!

You can do it, I have faith in you. Think of how much easier it is to sleep at night! And how much less cranky you are in the morning (okay, okay... if you're like me, that's not so noticable). Think of how much better you smell, and how much more you can taste things.

And think of your friends here when things get tough. We are always here to give you a hug and hold your hand :)

Allheart, Know that my thoughts are with you. Remember the pictures of superbaby family.

I know earlier it might have not seemed that way with me, but I am happy with my family here at home and with you guys here. I am lifting you up and remember God is always holding you in his arms.

Amen.

Joe


Joe, bless you. It is so amazing - it's gone. That strong urge - gone gone gone. Thank you! See prayers really are heard and do get answered. Thank you Joe so much!
Honest, I feel so calm and am just going to shut down the computer, join hubby for some TV and have a restful night's sleep.

Joe, thanks so much! _ I can't believe what a difference I feel. I was ever so close to lightening up.

Bless you and your beautiful beautiul family - The super baby family can always bring a smile to your face and heart :)

Much love,
Christine

Allheart, honey....give me your hand.

You're up here, on the top branch...look what a scary drop it is going down!!

I know how hard it is...I *still* have very bad days where I would do just about anything for a smoke, just one puff, and it's been almost 4 months!

You can do it, I have faith in you. Think of how much easier it is to sleep at night! and how much less cranky you are in the morning (okay, okay...if you're like me, that's not so noticable). Think of how much better you smell, and how much more you can taste things.

And think of your friends here when things get tough. we are always here to give you a hug and hold your hand :)

Synnen - It really helps to know you go through the same thing. I actually was thinking about you during the highest peaks of wanting one. Thank you sooooo much. Yeh, and I don't want to stink anymore do I :o :p Sending you a big huge hug and I hope things are going well for you Synnen and if they are not, I promise you... they will. Love you very much.

It's not hard to feel comfort from the kind words given to us by even kinder friends. It's with that we draw strength and feel the warmth they give off and no longer feel the cold of the dark.
We maybe from different places but the circle of friends we share with each other, makes us feel we are closer because we carry that circle in our hearts.
Christine, you've come so far and have done so well. Listen to yourslef when you crave a ciggerette. That will help you find the triggars right now. Take a moment to think why you want one, while you do that, think of how good you feel since you quit smoking. Think of how rotten they taste. Your skin looks and feels better, you don't wake up with the morning smokers cough and your lungs thank you for it.
Usually when we feel stressed we want to smoke. If that's the case, then try and take yourself out of the situation for a moment, get a soda or carry a small snack with you like those 100 calorie snack packs or a sliced apple. I used to carry the mini tootsie pops and nicorette gum. Denying the craving will only make you want it more. It's okay to admitt you want one even out loud so you can hear yourself say it. As you do that, also voice why you quit as well.
I think it's safe to say that you'll never hear any one preach or talk down to you on this blog. Maybe because we know how hard it is to quit. Maybe we've been down the road you're travelling now.
And yes think of superbaby and the puppy, who loves to get the buscuits. Also the incentive of the close basket ride down the stairs should keep you on the straight and narrow. (hehe).
Joe, I'm so glad to hear you're a happy family man. I'm happy with my family as well and blessed to have them. I was once thought of as the old maid aunt who never got married.
It's amazing how a spouse and children change you life forever. Just like a group of emotionally strong friends. Just like you guys are, like we all are.
The best gift you can give yourself is a gift of friendship. So I'd say we're covered till next christmas.
Love to all of you and thank you all for being here.

Chippers

Oh my Dear Chippers - thank you so much. Your words are so comforting.

I hope you and your family can feel all of our love. Bless you and thank you again.

Yes, stress is the trigger. You hit the now on the head.

Okay, so where do I put Mr. Allheart, my trigger :):):).

Love you all so very much!

Won't someone think of the puppy? :P

Won't someone think of the puppy? :P


Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Cap :o - The very forgetfulness and self centeredness of me.

You are so right. I can still see the cute guys face. I feel a million times stronger.

Tanx :)

Good morning my lovely lady's and of course joe (if I don't mention him he throws his rattle out the pram and has a right strop) I am so so so glad its Friday a weekend of relaxation and sleep coming up with any luck lol I think I'm dreaming there.
I am currently looking into getting millie either a rabbit or a pair of guinea pigs (me really)
I don't really think I could have another cat id go mad my youngest nw is a destructive little arse as it is is he needs no encouragement.
I hope your all well and smiley and looking forward to the weekend ahead.
AH if you fall off that branch ill kick your arse so hard you will be sorry you stay up there even with what's going on you stay strong you hear me.
Love to you chipper and syn and ah keep smiling you lovely ladys :D

AH if you fall off that branch ill kick your arse so hard you will be sorry you stay up there even with whats going on you stay strong you hear me.
Love to you chipper and syn and ah keep smiling you lovely ladys :D

Now, the above is only one of the reasons I love CBW :). LMAO :)

Can you see Laura just kicking away - I can't stop laughing. Love you girl :)

Oh you have a beautiful restful weekend. How exciting for Millie. And how cute bunnies or guniea pigs. I like both. And Millie will just love them.

Just as long as Simon is still feeling the love too:D

Simon will always be loved lol We showed millie the bunnys and pigs in the garden centre on Tuesday her little eyes lit up and she does a bunny impression she screws her nose up and sniffles lol crazy child but it does look very funny ;)

Just imagine a life sized cigi and take a swing at it and say no no no we won't even go to the level I'm still at you really really don't want to be down here with me it stinks lol

Awe how sweet you remembered me this time and you did not even call me a women.

Awe...

See look at that reaction talk about needy god men do my head in lol

That was not needy that was me being sarcastic. Get it straight laura. I would have disagreed but then you would have hammered my head.

Look who is jumping up and down stop getting all upset and get back into your lions den before I beat you with a bannana

Lol, I am so scared laura. I just hate bananas. Stay away, stay away, lol.

It's where I would shove the bannanas that you should be concerned about... ;)

Oh my God, Laura. Not a tiny hole like that, would you.

Giggles no comment ;)

I made you speechless. Hmmm, taking the fifth already. I have not even started yet. Lol

Hi everyone.
Laura I'd go with the guinea pigs, they aren't as fragile as the rabbits are. With Millie being the whirl wind you say she is, the pigs would fare better. That's just my opinion. I'd hate to see tears in that precious little girls eyes. But the rabbits do better in a rabbit hutch out side. We had a rabbit harvey, who lived in a hutch outside and did very well.

Joe, we need to get you up to kick your arse. Our goddess way of getting your attention. I'm not totally sold on giving a man the power of a god, at least not yet.. men and exhaulted ranks go together like oil and water. Besides as we out number you here, we want to keep the power. Test us and we turn into the fates with a pair of scissors.

Syn, I love your words and quiet strength. We each have something to bring to the group here and we each have special strengths. With that we create the balance that keeps us in balance. Although with Laura threatening to kick our arses if we fall off the branch, we would do well to heed her.

Allheart, If you need a stress reducer with mr. heart, tell him when he really gets on your nerves that men can be replaced with a few toys and the local sperm bank. It worked for me when mr. chippers rides my last nerve.(we've been married for almost 13 years and 14 hours with back labor with the first little chipper lets me get away with it) being slightly off center doesn't hurt either. Telling him you need a little support with not smoking right now should sublty remind him about the better for worst part.
Or getting out for a little fresh air by yourself works wonders. I go to the book store and read the gossip magazines. If I ramble on just chalk it up to senior moment or I left the hair dye on a little too long.:eek:

Love to all and to all a good night.

Chippers

Try chewing gum and sucking on hard candy, also brushing your teeth works. Drink lots of water to get the nicotine out of your system. Good Luck!!

I found if I changed my routine it helped.
I had a habit of going for a coffee and having a smoke on the way and on the way back.
Then every time I had to drive somewhere it meant having a smoke.
I started taking an apple or some peanuts instead.
Quitting cold turkey works for some people but I know if I had to say I would never have a cigarette again I would dwell on it too much.
So I look forward to the next event that I can have one. My next birdie on the golf course I will really enjoy.
Luckily I'm a lousy golfer so I probably won't smoke much.
I also quit for Lent a few times. It was easier knowing it wasn't forever but it showed me I could go for a month and a half. This made quitting full time a lot easier.
Whatever works for you and Good Luck

Chippers, you are just too darn cute :)

Sending a morning hug everyone's way and hope the day brings all of you nothing but smiles.

Love each of you dearly :)

Also, I read in Glamour magazine that smoking is associated with a form of skin cancer. Not to mention it alters your naturally good looks. My mom was in the hospital years ago for a knee replacement. The hospital was cold turkey in no one smoking. She quit and never smoked again. If you have kids who constantly refer to cigs as drugs because of what the hear in school kind of helps too. More so when you gwet a phone call from the teacher telling you that your little cherub said My mom goes out on the porch all the time to smoke drugs. Luckily the teacher had enough common sense to understand that the it was cigs and not the other stuff. That was enough to end my smoking habit then and there. Life is so much more pleasant without the fear my home will be raided. Even then all they would have to do is look at my front lawn and see the cig butts and not the other stuff.
Openning a gym membership didn't hurt either. Knowing I'm putting out money every month and the idea of knowing working out and smoking don't mix well. Even walking everyday helps increase those endorphins (body's natural feel good medicne) makes it easier to beat the cravings.

Awww Chippers - thanks bundles. How you doing with the soda?

Right now after these past 2 weeks I'm no longer on the top branch but with thr roots. I'm dteremined to get back up there with you. I bought water bottles and lipton singles. The cherry blossom is the best. I'll be getting back into my routine and back to myslelf a little. My father said it was all right to call him every couple of days and not everyday. (I got the hint). I'm mother henning him and he hates it. So I'm backing off a little. Onxce we get the living will and life insurance all set again I'll feel better. Mom had neither. If he doesn't want me to come live with him, he'll get it done. Which I've threatened to do. Hehe.

Thanks for all you love and support. I felt the hugs you sent.
Like I said to cbw, mom would've liked you guys.

Love chippers

You be back up there in no time.

Chippers, mother henning him. I am glad your giving him some space.

Lots of love to you and your family.

Joe and Superbaby family.

Thanks so much for your encouragement. I'm glad you think its okay to give him some space. And advice from the other half helps tremendously. Give superbaby a kiss for me.

You are getting closer to a godlike after all.

chippers

Oh Chippers, you have to allow yourself a little lapse time - So forget about the getting on the top branch for now.

As far as Dad, the one thing I learned from taking care of my Dad and Pops in law, was the need some sense of being in control. For years they told us what to do, and now, slowly the roles are changing every so slightly, and it is very hard for them, especially Daddies.

I would make a suggestion, like Pops you really should eat... "I don't want to eat NO|" he would say. I would say, okay, and just come back at him in a little while. Just letting him feel like he made the choice or decision.

I so love the elderly with all my heart. I hope to work with them one day, even if its just an aid. Anyway, it's a hard role for you Chippers I know, but it will all fall into place, just don't be so hard on yourself, or put too much pressure on yourself.

Love you honey - lots of hugs to you and the whole Chipper gang :)

Chippers right my sweet you can eat and drink what you dam well please and should anyone tell you otherwise ill pound them with a bannana ;)

Come make yourself comfey next to me ill be here a while :D

Oh my god CBW I just remembered I had a dream about you last night, Me and ben were out doing something and he took me back to your place and millie was there and you gave me a hug! I don't remember much more than that but I'm sure it was nuts!

Oh blimey dreaming about another mans wife is wrong in so many way lol ;)

Naaah ben was in it too!

Ok now I'm worried lol
So when you going to come visit?

Laura - can I come visit... pllllllease.

Oh my, Mr. allheart and I are flooded under. Our basement is like a pool. Anyone care for a swim??

Chippers - did you get hit as well.

I am to be looking up water vaccums - so I better get on it or Mr. Allheart will have my head.

What a mess!!

Sending lots of love and hugs to one and all. (sorry there wet hugs, but I am knee deep in this mess)

Allheart my sweet you can hop on a plane any time you like :DLittle Ben doesn't live all that far away he wants to come play in the sandpit really lol.
Im having a bit of a internet break I've turnt off msn and all other messenger programmes I'm heading for the garden shortly :D

Who needs sunshine when you have a warming glow of the monitor.

LOL oh dear that sounds kind of sad giggle

Hi again,

Oh, there always is a silver lining to things. Mr. Allheart came running in the house (we still are close to knee deep in water down the basement), he said they scared the s*it out of me, I said what... he said go to the door and look

3282
Awwwww look who came to visit us on such a terrible weather day. And they even quaked at us. We gave them a little something to eat. But it just made my day to see them. They came right to our front door, as if to say, it isn't all that bad, life is still beautiful :) What a blessing and wanted to share it with all of you.

These little duckies are for Millie too - I know how she loves them as well :)

We have to name them. Well I better get back down the basement. Mr. Allheart is out buying a wetvac. Boy, do we have a mess downstairs, but still am so tickled at these little visitors.

Have a beautiful day everyone - many hugs.

Oh my millie would be in her element she loves to feed ducks she would be saying bread duck bread bread duck duck lol
I think you should name them simon and millie lol

Smile though your back is breaking….

Smile though the water that you were pumping out, was pumping back in through the window…

Smile, as you discovered this mess outside that the landscaper had moved the drain, which made the water that was pumping out, pump right back in 

Smile, as lay on the wet grass, laughing your arse off….

If you just smile :) Oh my God!!

And another I love Lucy episode at the Allheart home.

Hugs to Millie duckie and Simon duckie.

LOL oh my it sounds like your having quite the day
Poor mr and mrs allheart are not liking there new indoor pool area I hope your keeping baby allheart nice and dry :D

The little pricincess just stays at the top of the stairs. Any wonder what she is thinking about her Mommy and Daddy hmmm :).

I love how, although your house is flooded, you keep the PC on.

Poor ickle girl she must be thinking that mummy and daddy have lost the plot as it really isn't warm enough for all this swimming and what are those funny animals outside making that noise mmmmmm

LOL Cap - the water is just in the basement thank goodness. The wet/dry vac is doing a nice job. After we realized why the water kept coming back.

Thanks for all the positive encouragement. It really is welcomed with open arms. I did the right thing in giving dad some space. I know this because you all made perfect sense. He called me last night and I'll be going down to visit on Thursday -friday. He wants to go through my mom's clothes and give them to charity. He says having them around makes him do too much thinking. He'll be out looking for a part time job this week. He needs to keep busy and he can only go to the store so many tmes. He's been retired for a few years and now with my mom gone, he isn't doing what he did before.
I think were reacting this way because mom's passing was sooo unexpected. As dad says it came out of left field. She had no heart trouble. She stood up too fast, bared down and her heart stopped. Dad lives in Delaware and its hard keeping in touch with him. But as time passes, I'm relaxing more. I'm not pushing him to do anything. He needs to make decisions when he's ready. All I'm really concerned about is him getting his poa and life insurance changed around. I don't care whom he chooses as long as he does it.
Yes, allheart, we did get hit hard. The creek behind my house is cresting. Luckily we live on a smal hill. But the front damage to our house is minimal. The kids had a school delay but UI kept them home to be sure. The roads were flooded and I wasn't comfortable. A three day weekend never hurt anyone did it? Besure to get your house checked for mold after the water is pumped out. I've heard of it growing after a flood because some areas remain damp. Tell mr. allheart if he tries to take that pretty little head of your's I'll Give hima swirlly. I think you'd made a good aide but a better nurse. You have the comapssion for it. The elderly need that.
Mr. chippers went to play army today. He's out in helping people if the had to evacuate due to flooding.
CBW, with you swinging that banana I feel as safer with you than fort knoxx. No ones complained yet but if they do, I'll send them your way. If needed I have a basebal bat under my bed for cases like that.
As for dreaming of someone else's spouse. I'll also at fault for it. I've been dreaming about david james elliot from JAG and he's happily married as well. Ssssshhhhhhhh don't tell mr chippers.
I did dream once I was married to dog the bounty hunter and woke up screaming. Go figurer.

Many hugs and warm afghands,

Love
chippers.

I am having a Monday, and it stinks!

/pouts

MMMMMMMMMM I can relate syn my Monday has been pretty awfull, I got three hours sleep last night I'm tierd and rather cranky I'm not even opening msn todat because I know ill be exceptionally nasty lol.
Chippers so your hubbys away now :( we will have to sing you happy songs and play with a bannana or two we can leave out the dog man he is vile lol.
Allheart I truly hope that husband of yours has taken you out for lunch and no chinese duck lol xxxxxxxx

I'm starting to GET nasty today. My boss is on vacation, and everyone thinks that since she's not here to regulate workloads, that they can just dump all of their CRAP on the other admin assistant and I. I don't mind helping, but I don't have time to do my own job now!

Plus the phone is ringing off the hook with people who want it done RIGHT NOW, and when I can't get them in RIGHT NOW, they're being right nasty with me.

I think I'll go postal by the end of the day.

Ooooooooooo the little monkeys I think you just need to stand your ground hunny and tell them you aren't there to clean there butts and to give you a break gggggrrrrr

I'm just now starting to give estimates of when it will be done. Like... 2 weeks from now sounds good.

I walked in to a clean desk this morning, and now I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

2 of the managers decided to start projects this morning that need my help every 5 minutes (they now understand why I keep asking for a raise, though) since they don't understand our computer system. They ALSO now understand why I keep asking newer software, too!

I have a headache, and it's not even noon yet, and BOTH of our cars broke down this weekend, so I don't even get to go to lunch today, because I have no vehicle.

I just want to crawl under my desk and start crying. Or light a cigarette. Or both at the same time.

Eat chocolate that's always good in times of crisis lol its no wonder I have hips like simon the elephant tee hee

Lots of hugs stay strong xxxxxx

Oh Laura and Synnen - many hugs to you both. Monday are meant to be cranky. Laura, you just hang in there and get some good sleep tonight!!

Synnen - oh as Pops would say, they find the fast horse and race it to the ground. You do what you can. I know how you feel sweetheart and it does p you off big time. Just shut them out as much as you can. Otherwise, you try and do all this work while being in a ball of knots.

My Dear Chippers - Good call keeping the boys home today - it's just way to unpredictable out there. Huge thank you to Mr. Chippers for helping those folks out!!

Annnnnd Mr. Allheart did really well today. He went and got the wet/dry vac, we got all the water up - and then he realized that the rain drains (whatever the heck they are called) were not draining out correctly and probably caused most of the water in our basement. He went and got extensions for them and put them on. I am so proud of him. Mr. A is not much of the handy type - but he did so good today. See, he can do it, I think he just never had the confidence. His brother is a wiz at that kind of stuff and I think hubby just never pursued it too much thinking he couldn't. Any oh ways, he done real good.

Laura and Synnen - I hope today flies by fast for you both. Hang in there!

OOOOOOO so he made himself useful huh makes a change for hubbys to do that its always a bit of a shock to the system when ben does lol

LOL 2 funny - I know. They throw you all off when they do that... :)

He did on Saturday he vacumed without being asked I nearly died of shock it amazes me that they can actually think without us they just forget how.

He did on saturday he vacumed without being asked i nearly died of shock it amazes me that they can actually think without us they just forget how.


CBW - that is so cute. I will never ever ever forget the first and dare I say ONLY time Mr. Allheart vaccumed. I laughed so hard my side hurt. See, we don't have little ones, so the domestic stuff is mine and I really don't mind at all. If I had little ones, then I would need help. Anyway - back to the story...

Okay, I was in a major panic because company was due in about 20 minutes. Like everyone, I am a perfectionist when it comes to having company over, anyway... I had my hand fill doing something, can't quite remember, but the bedrooms were still in need of vaccuming.. welllll, Mr. Allheart said, oh I can vacuummm... I said, are you sure he said yup, no problem... so I said okay great, here is the vaccuum and off he went. Well, after 5 minutes I thought I better go and check on him. It just looked so funny. He is a lefty and he kept vacuuming the same 2 inch space over and over and over. At that rate, it would have taken a week for him to do one room. All the while he is vaccuming, he kept saying, you tell anyone I did this and I'll never speak to you again... I was on the floor DYING of laughter, the tears were rolling down my cheeks! Way too funny. Needless to say, the room never did get finished and that was the last of his vaccuming days. Hmmm maybe he just set me up :rolleyes:

Tee hee I don't stand for that crap if you can't do it then I want a good reason for it not being done giggle I don't do the ironing in this house either :D

LOL :)

Well, I am part to blame - of course - as it's okay with me and he is grateful and doesn't complain when I shrink the occasional shirt.. hee hee

I feel like a glutton now for having a husband that not only does half the housework, but does MY half when I'm having a bad day :(

Oh Synnen not at all. I remember you talking about hubby from the very beginning, he sounds like such a sweet and great guy and he probably doesn't mind at all.

Mr. Allheart's brother does ironing and housework as well. Now if something goes wrong in the house ( like today) I do expect him to either fix it OR pick up the phone and find out how.

But I am spoiled in other ways and I make sure the list just keeps getting longer... hee hee.

I'm spoiled ROTTEN and I'll admit it.

Mr. Synnen probably spoils me more than all of us spoil Millie and Superbaby.

I got plants yesterday! $125 worth of all kinds of plants, with a promised trip back once we figure out how to do windowboxes! That was part of the promise he made me back when I quit smoking and was having a bad day--and I had forgotten about it until yesterday when I was wanting a cigarette so badly, and he took me shopping for plants!

I'm such a lucky girl, I shouldn't be so crabby at Mondays.

See I did remember Synnen. But he is lucky as well, don't forget that. How sweet of him to do that for you yesterday. Mine just walks around the house calling me Britney Rears (my butt was expanding there for a little while, but I think it's calming down now) and going "coo coo...coo coo", when I do or say something off the wall due to the lack of nicotene. Actually, it is great fun to laugh.

But your honey is a sweetie, but so are you :)

Awww... sounds like we should get the Misters together sometime! Then you and I can drink some wine and laugh at them!

/hugs

Thanks to you all. I don't know if I could have made it through today without you.

Hehehehehehe bless you both I just like to make sure that we share :D giggle the fact he goes to work means nothing we still share the household stuff or id go bloody batty lol.

Oh synnen how great would that be! After a couple of beers, I bet you Mr. Allheart would break out the vacuum and show his "style" of doing it. Oh how he loves to make people laugh.

Synnen, I'm glad that stinkee Monday is almost over for you. For some reason, Tuesdays and me just don't seem to get along either.

hehehehehehe bless you both i just like to make sure that we share :D giggle the fact he goes to work means nothing we still share the household stuff or id go bloody batty lol.

Sharing is very good there CBW :). Plus you put in a full day at home so don't discount that!!

I think whatever works -then that is what works. But I do love your style there CBW !

Smoked 30 years or a little better. Chantick don't think it's spelled right. Any way it's the pill. You can smoke while taking it. For the first week. After that, just have one when you have to. You will feel sick to your stomach and get headaches, I stayed on it for three months. My brother did it he smoked 2 to 3 packs a day. Me barely 1 pack a day.

I've got mr. chippers trained very well. He does the bathrooms ( I can't breathe the cleaning chemicals) we have three and vaccums. He'll do the laundry and I'll put it away.
Syn, marriage is a prtnership. I'm sure you do things for mr. syn if he's having a bad day.
I did it when mr. chippers was laid up for a few weeks after his surgery. Although I did go running for the tire iron when he decided to shovel snow the day after he had his rotar cuff repaired. He officially goes back to work on the 22nd. I'll get my routine back to the way I had it before. After my mom passed, I was so busy helping my dad getting the funneral arrangements finished, mr. chippers ran the house and cared for the boys and 5 cats.
Syn, those days come and go where you want to cry from being overwhelmed. I didn't hide under the desk but went off the floor to get a soda and clear my head. I have no doubt about your ability to get the job done (you are a goddess of course) but it stinks the way the others took advantage of you. I'm sure they would be running to the boss if you did it to them. If it helps, think of everyone in pink pocka dot boxer shorts. If that doesn't get you laughing nothing will
Cbw, if your swinging banas again I'll glad you're a friend and I'm not in the line of fire. Its hard running at full speed on 3 hours sleep. But were goddesses arent' we? As long as we look good right.

Love chippers


Just because they work outside the house doesn't mean they have home chore immunity. If we don't neither do they.

Giggle I love that last line chippers its oh so true :D
Only two days till Friday and we get to meet harry the rabbit I'm so excited its untrue I can't wait to smooth that fluffy cot of his lol.

Rabbit Rehome - Adopt a unwanted bunny from a rescue centre (http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/moreinfo.asp?RabID=8510)

That's him in case you didn't see the link in the loony bin millie is going to be so excited she went crazy when I showed her his picture hehehehe the lady needs to rehome him as he taunts her puppy and makes him bark and that sets off all the other dogs in the neighbourhood she isn't very popular at the moment giggle.

Lots of hugs to all my lovely ladys xxxxxxxxxx

Laura, he's gorgous!!
He looks like the rabbit we had. He taunts the dogs huh. He's not a fraidy cat is he then. I hope you post pictures when Millie gets to see him.
In case you haven't noticed, My boys are no longer little like Millie. So I'm living vicariously through you and enjoying every minute of your posting of her antics.
Speaking of my little gentlemen, My youngest has an eye docotr appt this afternoon after school if its anything like the last one then I'm in trouble.

Love to my fellow goddesses

Chippers

Hehehehehehe I don't mind in the slightest she was excited enough seeing the picture so god only knows what she will be like when she can touch him lol she is going to be so excited it will be fab to watch.

Hope your little mans eye test wasn't to traumatic I know millie hates having hers done because she was prem they check her sight every 6 months its rather scary.
Lots of hugs xxxxxx

(can anyone tell from today's posts that I'm PMSing?)

Funny syn I think I'm about getting to that stage of the month too

Right with you guys on that one. Many hugs to all of you.

Knock Knock - Look who stopped into to say hi!

3304

Its haweee as millie says :D

haweeee. My goodness CBW - I think hawee juuuust redefined what cute is :) I just love his expression.!

I say to her what's the bunny called she says haweee wheres harry going to live millie she says garden garden lol and then does her rabbit impression screwing up that little nose and snuffling crazy child lol

I am going to stay away for a while. The lion does not want to be around when the monkeys get all mad. Lol

Joe

You mean "mad" as in "crazy" and not "mad" as in "ready to tear your throat out"... right?

We're all mad here. --The Cheshire Cat

Oh CBW Can't wait till Haweee comes home. Please have the camera ready :)

Joseph, I feel so bad you are all tangled up in that other thread. I feel bad for you and Ash.

Hi you Synnen - how is work today ?

Hehehehehe there will be plenty of pictures that we can be sure of :D.

Joe you're a MAN you should be used to women pmsing by now ;)

Shhhh... it's vewy vewy qwi-et. Don't bring it up, or the phone will start ringing!

It is quite the messy thread. It tangled me in deep. I could not believe it. From a misunderstanding as well.
Allheart do you have any advice on how I should go forward or just stop posting altogether there?

L, well you know what. She is pretty good. She was in too much pain and in bed before the pregnancy for me to get any used to it. Since she started back since the pregnancy, no pain but the hormones are just nuts. I am not used to it yet. Drives me insane. I am sure your laughing your arses off because of the pain I am in.

Joe

Joe, I am going to go back and read through it all.
It will be okay. I'll be back after I read. But don't worry or get upset about it. What seems upsetting now, tomorrow will be a faint memory. Honest.

Oh yes it's a punishment sent from god to all men :D that I do believe.

Joe if you are having that much grief in a thred you know full well what to do stop posting or report it as out of hand.

I'm thinking of redecorating my kitchen in Monkeys and Frying pans.

You think that would work?

Oooooooooooo yes brown monkeys and pink frying pans wouldn't that just look kitch giggle

Well, I was thinking of banana yellow wallpaper, with black cast iron skillets and brown monkeys, really.

I quit for 4 years and then started back two years ago. I know, I am stupid, but I was very stressed and didn't resist the urge. Now, I have tried several times with out success of quitting. When I quit before, it was almost too easy. I sit them down and never picked them back up. I want to kick myself for starting back.

I think "once a smoker, always a smoker" Even in those 4 yrs I wasn't smoking, there was times I just wanted one out of the blue? So even when most quit, there is still that urge to start back... so be careful not to fall into the same trap I did! I thought I would have just one and now it is just a pack a day plus two years.

Hell no you need bright pink in there somewhere lol

Bows on the monkeys, maybe?

And thanks for the advice, WLB. It's been soooooo hard to not pick one up lately. Thanks for giving me another reason not to start again.

LMAO or you could get the sort with big red butts ;)

Bows on the monkeys, maybe?

And thanks for the advice, WLB. It's been soooooo hard to not pick one up lately. Thanks for giving me another reason not to start again.

Same here Synnen. Hubby keeps saying oh go and just have one. You can keep it to for a day. Heck, Synnen, I know if I smoke one, guess what, I will be right back where I was.

All heart, stick to your guns. You've made it this far. Remember one is too many and 4 are not enough.
Syn, baboons have the bright red heinies for your new décor idea. mr. chippers is almost a foot taller than me. For a wedding gift, I asked for an iron skillet. (they go together if you know what I mean). Whenever mr chippers gets on my nerves while I'm cooking. I pull out the skillet and just leave it there without saying a word.
But I like the monkeys in the kitchen. Kind of gives you the wizard of oz feeling. We can dress you in blue gingum and ruby slippers. Paint the floor yellow and you've got your kitchen. By the way, if you haven'y torn anyone a new arse you're doing just fine hun. Men need to have a little scare once in a while, it pulls them down from their high horse from time to time.
Joe, the closest a man will ever come to true labor is when he passes a kidney stone. I've seen them bring a full grown man to tears. I'll say a prayer for you and your wife.
By the way, what thread is everyone talking about??
I can't wait to see pics of millie and hawee. Just thinking about how she says his name and I melt. My little guy made out fine today. His lazy eye is getting better and he does better if I'm not in the room.
The kids go to school tomorrow and mr chippers will be at the armory with the guard unit. I'll have the house to myself. I won't know what to do. I can't get used to the sudden quiet once they leave. Think I'll dust off my gym pass and walk the track.

Love to all goddesses and demi gods.

Chippers

Oh my peace and quiet for you then beth it will be horrid at first but I'm sure you will soon enjoy it I know I would.
Bens in a different office today and tomorrow so he will be late home roll on Friday then it will be the weekend :D
Have a good day ladys lots of hugs xx

CBW - before you know it, Friday will be here!!

Hugs to all of you!!

Chippers thanks again for the strong words - I almost fell again... oh boy! Hope things with you are falling in place.

Synnen - I love you honey - here's a hug and a thank you for putting up with my dippy self :)

Joe - love you and super family as well.

WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE I'm so excited we are going to see harry at 3 o clock tomorrow afternoon :D

AH... you are NOT a dip!

CBW... don't you mean haaaaweee?

Giggle yes yes haaawwweeee :D

Someone call me?? Someone call for HOWEEEEEEEE

3318

Giggle giggle I can believe I'm going to be able to hold him tomorrow I'm so excited

Awwwww that is so cute!! Does Milllie know she will see him tomorrow?
Is he coming home tomorrow - or is this just a little visit before the actual big day.

Oh Laura, how exciting!!

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH my heart just melts for HAWEEE. By the way Christine, I agree with syn, you are not a dip. Goddesses are never dips. A little whimsy yes. As we have to indulge ourselves for time to time.
Maybe we should let hawee have a ride in the clothes basket?

Have a great day Laura with Hawee. And also to my fellow goddesses

Love and happiness\

Chippers

Aww Synn and Chippers thanks.

And yup, haweee gets the first ride down in the basket... hoooooow cute!!

Giggle giggle I haven't been this excited in ages tee hee id be dancing about if I could :D

Lots of love to you all xxxxxx

CBW - what's keeping your from dancing?? You under the weather?

Im all cuddled up with my kitty and its 10.40 pm I don't have the energy lol

Awww that's a nice vision. Glad your okay :)

You guys may need this for the big day



3319

That's a great visual pic to me. Cuddled under a favorite blanket with your favorite cuddle buddy. Mine just took of for a catbox break. Its 5:45 pm here and I'm stuck with Dr. Phil.
:( . I hope the weather is nice for when you pick up hawee. Then maybe you can dance the happy dance. (Millie will know what it is).

Hugs to you allheart. I hope you got all the water out of your basement and its no longer a swimming pool.

Love chippers

Thanks Chippers. The basement is bone dry now. Such a releif. Hubby put some extenders on the spouts and I think that really did the trick.

How's things there with you? Mr. Chippers home safe and sound :)

Hehehehehehe so coool thank you AH, chippers I can't believe your watching dr phill lol surely there's something else on ;)

Be good ladys I'm going to slope off to bed xxxxxx loves you all xxxxxxxxx

Nite little Millie & Simon


3321 Nite Hawwwweeeeee


Sweet dreams one and all. ( AH has officially lost it....:)

AH, that elephant slide leaves too much to the imagination. Mr. Chippers came home Sunday night. It was only a weekend thing and thank you for asking. Friday is his birthday so I have to go to victorias secret for his present. HEHE
I kind of like Dr. Phil. He does get it once in a while.
I'm watching this insurance commercial where daddy is trying to round up his babies when he hears the toilet flushing and a little one saying uh oh. Laura and I know that's a very scary thing to hear. We brace ourselves for impact and wait for the fall out.
My husband was putting shoes on my oldest when he was a baby, saw him chewing on something then hubby openned his mouth and out popped a quarter along with an uh oh.
Talk about atm machines being portable.
With the way cbw said good night, felt like I was on walton's Mountain. It gave me a nice cozy family feeling.
I'm glad your basement is dry AH. I was worried there for a while.
Syn, have you decided on which monkey will go into the kitchen. It could be a wizzard of oz theme. Flying monkeys and frying pans.

Love to all and to all a good night
Chippers

Yawn good morning my lovelys well in 5 hours ill have my hands on hawweee hehehehehe oh its going so slow giggle

I was forbidden by the hubby from putting monkeys in my kitchen, flying or otherwise.

He's a spoilsport sometimes.

Oh my word can you not bargain with him maybe monkeys with cans of beer lol

Oh so glad to see that cute little darling back CBW.

Hey Synnen - you are just so brilliant.

Love you Chippers.

Sorry in a bit of a rush. Getting ready to go to the dentist. I am such a baby and soooo scared. My gums have been bleeding a little. I totally have white coat fear. What a big baby I am.

Many hugs and give special hugs and kisses to Hoooooowwwwwieeee for us.

AH - you'll be fine. Just imagine that I'm there holding your hand!

You'd THINK that he'd be okay with the monkeys, after he ruined the fairies in the living room by adding Star Wars stuff all over!

I need about 6 hours more sleep.

Well hawweee moves in on Sunday :D he is a big boy lol and very lovely millie was more taken with the ladys puppy but there's no way in this world that she is having a dog lol not in my life time anyway giggle.
Love to all I'm off to cook dinner. Xxxxx

Oh come on, Dogs are so much more fun then cats. I am a dog lover. Can you tell. Lol

I have to disagree with you, Joe.

I LOVE my cats--they're fun and loving and adorable and dignified and intelligent.

Dogs just slobber everywhere! Ewwwwww!

(I'm the cat lover, can you tell?)

Me too syn I wouldn't be without my boys there extreamly specialy and not as needy as dogs admittedly I like dogs but I couldn't cope with one they need too much attention.

I love dogs. They are a special kind in my book. Plus I will not die being around dogs. When I was younger I was deathly allergic to cats. Maybe that is why the love is not there.

Joe

Joe I think you're in minority oooopppps sorry AH I forgot you love dogs. I'm a cat lover as well. Syn you could tell hubby you could plaster monkeys in your kitchen or him. Haaaaaaaah decisions decisions.
Cbw, I can't wait for pics of Millie with Hawee. She is such a beauty. I found out today that my dad is going to move back to New Jersey when his lease is up. I don't mind the drive to Delaware but having him close by is great. The boys will be happy as well.
Hugs to my special friends here. I love you lots.

Chippers, Do not worry. I am used to being a minority. Lol

I am surrounded by cat lovers. OMG. Achooooo.

Wheeze Wheeze. Cough cough.

Joe


You're too funny Joe. I'll mail out boxes of tissues and claritin-d for you.

Beth

Good Morning one and all -

Actually, I love all animals - sometimes better than people (sad, but true)

http://www.jphpk.gov.my/English/poesenhond28.gif

Love my puppy although she is in dog heaven now. She was my best friend and I got along with her better then my own parents or other family members.

I agree allheart. Animals love you unconditonally, humans have a hard time with that concept.

Joe

I feel the same way as you do. It's easier to get along with animals better than people. They do love you uynconditionally and listen to all your problems without passing judgement. When mr chippers and I were getting maried, he knew from the get go that my cat chips and I were a package deal there was no me without her. The boyfriends would come and go but she was always my constant companion for 20 years. (yep she lived to be 20) she was a good natured soul err 95% of the time. She might be playing nice with your puppy Joe. She grew up around dogs and liked them.


Love to all animal lovers

Chippers

BTW try claritin-d and astelin nasal spray. Talk about clearing your sinuses. It's nice to finally breathe again!!

My puppy lived until she was 18 years old.

She had a beautiful soul and she was my closest friend. It was hard to leave her when I left home when she was 14 years old.

She was everything, and I do not ever think we will ever have another puppy like her.

I am sure everybody is altogether in heaven. (;

Joe

It's hard to leave them behind. Chips hated it if I was late coming home from work. So I know how hard it is to leave them. You're so close they actually feel like a child to you. And like in your case as well as mine, best friends. She had kidney failure and with her age I couldn't see putting her through that. She was too good to me. I put her down and stayed with her. Someone told me when you loose a loved one, you see whose around you that love you. A week after I put her down I found I was pregnant with my first child. She'll always be a part of my heart as I'm sure your puppy is with you and the memories are endless. I'm sure they are together painfree and happy.


Beth;)

Joe and Chippers - Oh how I agree with the both of you.

Two of my babies (dogs) are with yours in beautiful animal heaven. They were and are me and Mr. Allheart's children, forever.

I know they are all together having a merry ole time.

In a little over an hour hawwee will be in our garden :D

Oh my God!!

Cutest Bunny EVER!!

Oh my god indeed he is just so so so lovely millie loves him she won't say his name now mind you but he is tickly tickly or tiddletiddle as she says ill give him a few days to settle in then ill get some pics up for you all.
Hope your all well xxxxx lots of love

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH cbw, much love to blosom in your home with Hawee. Enjoy him, love him, and spoil the ens out of him and the tiddle tiddle as well.

Love chippers

He is just to cute for words lol his little face is addorable and he is oh so soft hehehehehe oh I'm in love :D

I am so happy to hear that it was such a warm and loving reception of the new addition to the family. Millie must be just tickled pink. I can not wait for our boy to be a bit older and bring our first puppy home, although my wife will probably not like it. Lol

Joe

LOL I don't think I would be to amused to I would be sending you and your puppy to live in the dog house giggle.

You know, sometimes wives and moms get a bum rap. To think we would place anything above our child's and hubby's happiness. But in case I really missed the nail Joe. Here's a trick that ALWAYS works for me no exceptions.

Here, take the puppy and superbaby and put them close to you so your wife can see all shining happy dimpled faces together. No woman could resist that picture. If there's still any question, let her hold puppy and tell her about your best friend. They aren't qute for nothing.

Laura, I'm so happy for you darlin. I promise not to tell Ben he's been replaced by a bunny. Hehe. I'm tickled myself that everything is coming together so well for you and Hawee settling right into his new home.

Love chippers

Ive been out this morning to say ello and he hopped over and let me give him a quick tickle here's to lots of tickles I kind of like that he is so soft :D I'm a bit of a dafty when it comes to small soft animals have you guessed lol.
Hope everyone has a good Monday I have a house inspection at ome point this morning I can't for the life of me remember what time mind you lol
Lots of hugs to you all xxxxxxxx
