I'm looking over my shoulder dear Laura and I can't see you. What's wrong? Where are you?

Poor thing... I'd send you Mary Poppins if I could... they should have her on call... better luck tomorrow...

Recording: 30 hours and counting.

Good luck tonight, get a good nights sleep to get you reasted for whatever tomorrow brings. Hopefully rainbows and flowers. What ever it is you can take it with a smile...

Hehehehehe no bath me and millie shared one earlier, well the third things happened lol bens hit a pigion in the car and damaged the front that's it no more I've had the lot for the next few months but I swear to god if the idiots that are coming to fix the door tomorrow can't do it there's going to be hell to pay they are going to get the brunt of my week :D

J I'm there id never leave you hunny

OMG Laura,

I feel sorry for those guys coming to fix the door.

So do I. Glad I don't need to fix the door. Sheesha lawisha! I am going to write a poem about smokes, I'll get back to you later...

They are twats to the extreme if they are as rude as they were last time when it happened god bloody help them is all I can say gggggrrrrrr

I won't be helping them. They will need Gods help. You have dealt with them before and already know what they are like so you have every right to go off, but I am still glad that I am not the one fixing it up.

I love smokes
It ain't no jokes
I am going to find
A way to get them off my mind
With a little bit of help
I will only yelp
Ohh how much $ I'll save
I want to hid in a cave
This is so dumb
Can you tell I am numb?

Hehe I love it! Now Im not the only troll!!

You know I think there is some kind of dark cloud or something. Everyone I've talked to is having bad days... and there is a curse in my office or something... yesterday they thought I was miscarrying... then last night before close, a co-workers husband was hospitilized after he was hit while riding his motorcycle and thrown 20 feet... then another co-worker just was taken to the hospital with appendicitis... lets just say every one is walking around on egg shells right now.

I love smokes
it ain't no jokes
i am gonna find
a way to get them off my mind
with a little bit of help
I will only yelp
Ohh how much $ i'll save
I want to hid in a cave
this is so dumb
can you tell i am numb?

Hehehehehe you forgot to add that laura is smoking for everyone lol

Laura, yes she is... Poor dear. What a stupid poem, I am laughing. Can't believe it even came out of my mouth...

**clarification*** not that I like to see any one of you suffer... dont get me wrong... I wish you were all just fine and dandy and chipper... but I find it funny when other people start going off on people because it means I'm not the only one with a temper at the moment... lol..

It takes a lot these days to make me explode but after the last 8 days I think I'm more than justified lol god help those guys

Hehe... they'll be able to take it..

It might be the suffering that brought me here. I think knowing other people are as bad or worse then me makes it easier to deal with certain things like smoking or junk food, or what ever. I am here for support from the people that have "great" issues just like me in my every day life. Are you sure you don't like seeing us suffer at all? Let me tell you, I am sufferin, I am

What door are you guys talking about? If it is a garage door, oooohhhh don't get me started. The Overhead Door crew in Eugene were the dumbest bunch of guys I have seen in a long time, rude too!

Believe me I understand... no I hate to see anyone suffer, but you are right, that is what brought us all here... well technically a desperate search for a movie title is what really led me here... but... you know... lol... after a few months and some great conversation, I have really made some good friends here. Besides its always fun picking on each other...

Did I say that right? SEE SYNNEN, I AM SECOND GUESSING MYSELF!! What to do what to do. No more computer for me. I have to get out of here! Later tater.

Its my back door the one I use to go in and out of the house to get to the garden it no longer locks :(

Ohhhhh. Ok, don't hurt them too bad, let them fix it and run.

Ha the chief guy only lives round the corner ;)

Yep I found the movie... and I have been addicted to this site ever since...

Hehe CBW... you crack me up.

He will get special pressent from millies nappy posted through his door or spread over his van if he doesn't pull his finger outa his butt and sort it

I am addicted too. Some of you are just too good to pass up. Love the different opinions and fuuny stuff that is said. Just a month ago I was a different person. If you can believe it or not...

This is my "out"... my place to go that doesn't include my husband or son... lol... I love them, but I don't need to see them ALL the time... lol.

I agree. I did tell my husband about it though, that way I din't feel like I was hiding anything. I felt a little silly at first, now I don't at all. I love it. And I can call it my own too. If my husband wanted to get on and post I would make him get his own user name cause I wouldn't have a good reputation any more. Love him, but that's the truth.

Oh I don't have anything to hide... im always talking to him about something I learned on here or his opinion on a situation... but he knows this is my place and he can find his own... I don't need to bump into him on here... lol

I think we're all doing the "This week has been brought to you by the letters F and U and by the number HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" dance right now.

Hehehehehe I only found this little bolt hole because if my husband giggle so he has done something right well that and helping make millie ;)

Oh my look look one more greeny and I reach 100 woo hoo taken long enough to get there giggle

Does that mean you get another little box? That's a good thing... wish I could help but I just gave you rep a few posts ago...

Giggle I will get a new green box yes only taken just under 1.200 posts lol

Synnen, you just made my day.
I will be flying through now! CBW, good luck on the 100th...
I don't want to count the hours on my hands anymore, I am done, I won't turn back.
I have to get house work done, at least one of my chores...

Well off to pick up my Connor... see you all tomorrow.

Giggle oh my word we aren't stopping you cleaning are we lol
Im about to sit and watch extreame makeover home addition oooo do I have a bit of a thing for ty ssssshhhhhh don't tell anyone giggle

SYN I LOVE YOU XXXXX

I love you more, Laura :)

Giggle but I love you more than chocolate :D

No just some dishes. I like Ty too, a little over reactive but he's cute.
Did them, I am fast...
Never did get those flowers planted, we will do it after rest.
We sign on the house tomorrow at 9 am. I really picked a bad time to quit smoking. Mid-week, selling a house, dealing with stuff like that makes me want to smoke. BUT I won't

Giggle hell girl if you can get through this then you can do anything and I will promptly re name you super women :)

Ty just kind of has a thing about him I bet that energy is great in the bedroom though cough cough bad me

Lol.. there's NEVER a good time to quit, really

I'm having an awful week too :( Plus, Mother's Day is this weekend, and my daughter's birthday is Tuesday... I just want to hide for about 10 days.

You can hide you can hide with us we will keep you company and I promise ill try and make you smile

Wow, try that on for size. (not literally) yes I guess maybe now that I think about it, he might be.

Giggle giggle oh my I'm going straight to hell talking like that but caw blimey he is tasty

I love you more than ESPRESSO, Laura.

I know that I'll get through this week because you love me... how good a feelign is that?

A great feeling. I am glad to be surrounded by a bunch people like you all. Thanks.

A perfect feeling because its love that will never die as long as we need each other we will always love and support one another xxxxx

We will always need someone!

And that's why I carried this thred on because I have the most amazing clan ever and we are real glad to have you start here and al its nice to have the family grow :D

Thanks, I love it here. You guys are great, funny and creative with your words. Love it.

You have fitted in perfectly sweety and that's as rare as tiger poop so you must be just as special :D

Haaaa tigers poop. That is better than super woman. I will change my name soon, hee hee

Giggle what more can I say ;)

Laura, My wife likes Ty as well. We both watch Extreme home make over. Remember all that bundle of energy you heard in my voice, you never thought I would stop lol. Well, he has bounds and bounds of energy as well. We both tend to laugh with the antics of ty. I know you like him for other reasons.

I know my wife will not tell me the real reason why she likes him. Lol

Anyway, Going to eat some din din, hope you all are enjoying dinner too.

You are too funny Joe. Eating might calm you down a bit.

Remember all that bundle of energy you heard in my voice,

Oh, yeah, I remember Baby Brother. LOL

LOL I could tell you why wifey likes ty giggle but its nothing to worry about :D I'm sure we will discuss this me and wifey that is giggle we can discuss his finer points ;)

I've foiund there is no closure when it comes to death. (how I hate that word closure).
I start blubbering when I see all the things that are out for mother's day and I can't send anything to her. It's been barely 6 weeks since my Mom died and I still can't believe it.
I'm still making it day by day and the pain hasn't seemed to lessen yet.
I did't talk with her before she passed away.

Oh, Chippers, if I could only hug you right now.

It is so hard during the first few holidays!!

Oh chippers my sweet who the hell says you can't buy your mum something you go choose the most amazing plant or tree and you plant it in your back yard where you can see it everyday.
Lots of hugs to you my special sweet friend loves you xxxxx

That's a great idea. I'll plant something in our circle of friends garden for her. Dad doesn't want anyhting sent to the house and I understand that. We're not really celebrating it here either. mr. chippers is taking us to great adventure (amusement park) to see Rick springfield in concert. I can't wait. The last time I saw him was 25 years ago. I listened to his music in nursing school and passed boards.

Thanks to you Chippers I listened to the Ricker a week ago and passed finals. Buy yourself some Mother's Day balloons and let them soar to the heavens.

Have a good time at the concert, and, oh, yeah, what is the closest airport to you? I may be having a layover there going to help my mother for a week or so. And I would love to meet you.

My dads ashes got scattered t sea so I have a perminant reminder pretty much on my doorstep we all need something to focus on :D

I love you guys I'm off to bed xxxx

The closest airport to me is philadelphia international. It's about 45 minutes from my house. I'd love to meet you too. Congrats on the finals. I'm proud of you, but not surprised. You/ve got the gift.

My moms ashes are in a clock ern. Which dad calls your mother the clock.
Good night Laura. Sweet dreams. I'm confident that tomorrow will be a better day for everyone. Being it's so close to the week end. Remember I need everyone's favorite flower or plant for the friends garden.
I've got syn's, start's and alka,

Hun, you helped me with the inspiration for the gift, as you have it also.

I will work on my layover and see if I can get it in Phili.

Oh hugs to you chippers. Just big hugs. Absoluley plant a little tree or something in memory of Mom. Just beautiful.

Love you honey!


Hun, you helped me with the inspiration for the gift, as you have it also.

I will work on my layover and see if I can get it in Phili.


That would be more than awesome... wouldn't it Chippers ;)

I was watching miami ink. There was this girl that came in and wanted an tattoo of an angel on her back. She also had a picture of her and her baby brother in her arms. Her brother at 15 years old committed suicide. She had her brothers ashes with her. Apparently it is a common practice to mix some of the ashes in the ink they use for the tattoo and that is what she did.

So now she will have him with her at all times.

Chippers, I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to believe that a loved one is not here with you in the physical sense. I just want you to know that your mom is always with you. In your heart, within your spirit. We are all connected and there is nothing that can separate that.

I think Laura had an excellent idea about you planting a tree or plant as a mothers day gift. I know that you are surrounded by people who love you, including myself.

Chippers, As far as a flower. I am not sure what kind. I have one in mind but somebody already mentioned it. So my idea is that from what you know of me here. I want for you to decide what flower to plant. Let me know which one you chose to plant.

Please take care of yourself.

Joe

You guys are making me cry... What are you trying to do to me? Chippers buy your mama a plant or tree that is a very fine idea.
J_9 good job on your final. I would be proud of myself if I were you...
CBW try not to kick anyone's A$$ for the door... your days will be brighter...
Joe, I will be looking forward to hearing some gross food jokes. Could you find one about cereal, that is what I eat a lot of and I can't seem to kick it.
Tomorrow I am not going to raise my voice at the kids, just seems like they can't hear me if I talk in a low voice, but I guess they can, I tried it today when I had to stick my boy in a time out, and it worked better than ever, I guess I am changing in a few great ways. The boys are down, dad and the "bigger" kids went on a beautigul walk to go get icecream.
I am wanting to smoke but I won't...
RECORDING: 36 hours and going strong...

Closing on the house tomorrow, 1 down, 999 to go. We can do it. Right? Hugs to all.
G'night

Oh hugs to you chippers. Just big hugs. Absoluley plant a little tree or something in memory of Mom. Just beautiful.

Love you honey!

Love you to angel

Start, I am proud of you. The more you talk about it, the better you feel. You'll be feeling you want to smoke (theyre called tics) its okay to think about it at the time. To ignore it is wrong. Think of what's making you want one, then think of how proud of your swelf you are for not smoking.
Joe, thank you and everyone else for your kind words. My mom had an apple tree in her back yard and a dog would tree in her front yard. I'll plant one or the other. There is no rule that says I can't plant 2 of the same thing. So tell me about the flower, or if you like, your wife's favorite flower. Whatever you want.
I didn't mean to go off the way I did, but after spending the day seeing mother's day gifts it hit me. I'm normally a strong person and can handle it. After making sure Dad and my boys were okay, I couldn't escape the denial anymore.
I have a small remembrance of her ashes in a keepsake. Plus dad gave me a few things that belonged to her. When I'm ready I'll look at them.
And Syn, I know you're right, She knew I loved her. Mom never said it much but like my dad, mom showed her love in her actions. Like making our meals, laundry, doctors visits. Not taking it personally when teen age angst peaked.
She loved her grandchildren. Thought it was her divine right to do as she pleased with them.(that always got her into trouble with me and my brother) after a while we just gave up.
She was tough on me because she didn't want me to be weak and dependent on a man.I had to earn my way and I did.
So enough of the water works. I can't have swollen bleary eyes when I see Springfield on Sunday.
Yes Allheart, it would be awesome to see J-9 as it would be awesome to see all of you as well.
You're great frineds and I love you guys very much.

Goodmorning everybody. Up real early again. When will I learn. Lol :rolleyes:

I guess I should go to sleep because need to get up in a couple of hours for work. :o

At least today is Friday, at least I hope it is.

Starters - I will do my best to find some cereal jokes lol.

Chippers - You know how I feel.

No more water works, the only thing though. I have been missing springfield for so long because I chose to watch extreme home make over. They are on at the same time. :eek:

It always figures. Two great shows that are on at the same time. Have to pick and chose.

I just noticed, a few more posts and my total will be 3,000. Wow, where did all the posts go? Lol

Have a good day and great weekend everybody.

Woo hoo go joe go joe 3000 how cool is that :)

Good morning Lady's I'm happy you know what the door guys came at 8.30am and it was fixed by 20 to 9 now why couldn't they have done that on Tuesday ggggrrrr lol but its fixed now and no more worry about the cats opening it and running off.
Right I have my possitive head on today I have things to do I need to sort my dinning room before I have to fill it with boxes with all the stuff from the kitchen lots of love and hugs to you all xxxxxxx

Hopefully I will get past that milestone today. Who knows lol

Glad they fixed your door quickly and properly Laura.

Everybody have a great day. Love you all here.

Im sure you will Joe I'm sure you will why do you think I put this post in addictions and not members discussion lol that way we get the posts on our count and we can give greenys ;)

One more thing I wanted to say, Chippers, is this:

Mother's Day has been the worst day of the year for me for 15 years now. People EXPECT you to be sad and lonely at Christmas following a loss, but not at those other weird holidays that come up and smack you in the face.

My advice is this: Do what YOU want or have to do this weekend. If that means sitting in your garden and bawling your eyes out, then having a stiff scotch and taking a nap, GREAT! If that means going to church and then coming home and snuggling with your hsuband for a few hours, that's great too! Just remember that it's okay to be sad and a little angry and just let your emotions run on.

My thoughts will be with you this weekend, as always.

Laura... were they cute?

Nah they are middle aged misserable Ba###rds lol I don't like them but they did fix it so that's all that matters :D

Bah. They could have at least sent over eye candy after making you wait all week!

Good morning all of you beautiful people.

Geez what an "energizing" day here at AMHD. Hee hee. OH my.

Well, I need to do some work now.

Just reminding all of you how proud I am of you and love you lots!

Many hugs

Hey guys, gals, and good people, RECORDING: 48 hours, and I am all right, a little snappy but pretty cool... You guys sound well this morning, good for you. It is sunny today. WooHoo! I am going to sell my home today. Yes a very good thing, but I will be losing one of the loves of my house. I have had many places to live, but that was truly where I made my home with my family and I loved it so.
Hugs to all. Stay positive and I will see you all sweet, sweet, people later...

A request from me im gonna make ben go through here later and merge posts that are one after another by the same person Im not being a B##ch but im just thinking if people just keep posting like that we are gonna be at 1500 posts again before we know it and that makes me sad.
So please if you post and want to add to it edit your post dont start a new post for each person if you are the last person posting god o hope you all understand what im saying.

I don't understand, give me a example, I am Dumb and Numb when it comes to computers. I signed on the house, got more than we thought. The beautiful home is no longer mine, it will be a good home for the sweet peopl who bought it. Please so I don't piss anyone off, how do I do what CBW is talking aobut. Hugs to all.

Laura, what are you talking about? Are you talking about me? Have I been doing that?

I guess you were talking about me laura. I was at 3,ooo posts and all of a sudden I lost 3 posts.

Oh well, I guess I will take it personal. I thought I would celebrate and then get knocked down a few bricks. :o

Love you all anyway. :D

I deleted my celebrating post. :(

Joe

I actually get it (waiting for lightening to strike me now hehe). Laura will be asking Ben to merge the smaller posts by the same person to look larger so we have more available post sapce. And won't be cut off at 1500.

Start, I think 48 hours is great. Were here and keep it up.
Syn, your words are comfort to me. Besides, I never did follow anyone eslses drum beat.
Joe I know how you feel and I love you for it.
Laura there should be a law when workers come to your house to work, they should enclude appropriate eye candy. I'm with you here.
I was working at a hosptial that they were expanding on. God those workers were gorgous without their shirts looking like bronzed Gods. (oh I just worked myself up). Everyday at 330pm, we would gather at the large window and watch them. One day the administrater caught us. He was pretty easy going and said we needed to do a Diet Coke commercial here.
The boys are excited about planning a garden this year and so am I. it'll be the first one I've ever done. That's why having you all aprt of it makes it so special. So Laura, allheart, J-9 and Joe, I need to knowyour preferences. There's no real hurry I have till the end of may. As for me I'll be planting roses yellow for frindship.

Basically what I mean is this...

And then starting another post right under it lol do you get me??

We need to make this baby last lots of posts like that mean we take up lots of room and ill be closing this thred before we know it.

I wasn't aiming at anyone Joe I I think it is just nesisary so we don't have to start a new thred so quickly I certainly wasn't aiming at you its just a request.

Yes I was guilty of that too... sorry ill be more careful now. I have been so busy all day and then it took me over an hour to catch up with you all... lol... hope everones day is better. I am ready for it to be tomorrow so I can get onto yard selling... or yard 'sailing' I should say... hehe...

We are all guilty of it including me lol we are already on page 36 here another 110 and we will be closing again lol that's all I'm worried about :( I wasn't having a go at anyone honest.

Are you having a yard sale or are you going to one al?

Going to several. There are about 4 neighborhood yardsales I'm hitting. Got to start collecting all the baby junk again. I got rid of most of it when we moved into a smaller apartment while we waited to buy a house...

Giggle I did all that on eBay... I love eBay...

Laura, I hope you got my msn messeges. I left messenger out. The whole family went out grocery shopping we went around the store. Joshua just loved it. I tuckered him out. He was giggling the whole time until the wife and I started bickering a bit with stupid things.

Oh, And there were these three little boys running around the store screaming like girls so I started running around and yelling too. Lol it made them stop for a minute. I think I might of scared the poor guys, but the store clerks were laughing there head off. I got them to stop, shocked the he-- out of those kids a big olders sized adult imitating them. Hee Hee.

Oh, I love doing silly things around strangers. Always get somebody to laugh.

Especially when I was in walmart and acting like a , well never mind.

Joe

*Puts Broom Back In Cupboard*

Thanks a lot ben. I thought I would celebrate having 3,000 posts for the second time and you take more posts away.

I am going to stop celebrating and just going to start drinking my beer and forget about it.

Oh my gosh if you keep on drinking I'm calling AA giggle

I love eBay you need to eBay giggle

Oh, I have not even started yet. I still have corona beer left in the fridge from 3 weeks ago. Lol

Yeah, I am celebrating for the third time with 3, 000.

Now ben. Leave the rest of my posts alone. Please.

Ben... you werent' FLYING on that broom, were you? ;)

Hello Synn!!

Giggle he is more of a wizard

Hello Synn!!!!


Hellooooooooooooooo Nurse!

I am going to play wizard tonight. I am going to make things disappear, maybe not here but somewhere else. Hmmmmmm

Everyone loves Magical Trevor
Cause the tricks that he does
Are ever so clever...

Weebls Stuff - Magical Trevor (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/magical+trevor/)

Oh my god syn do you have any idea how much I love trevor
But...

Only in kenya is my bestest Joe this ones for you... Weebls Stuff - Kenya (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/)

I so love Magical Trevor!!

I don't like Kenya, but Mr. Synn does.

I really love Trevor, though

Giggle kenya just cracks me right up and once I hear it I'm singing it for a long long time, have you seen joe cartoon??

Joe Cartoon (http://www.joecartoon.com)

Nope.

I'm still stuck at work, so I'll have to check that out this weekend, when I'm someplace that has flash and sound :P

Oh my god you have never seen Joe cartoon where the hell you been lol it has to be the funniest site I've ever found the first email I ever sent ben back in 1999 was the frog in the blender.

Ummm... dark ages?

I've been under a rock. They won't let me out.

Giggle giggle you will love Joe cartoon he is rude but not crude ;)

P.s forgot to add this one too the i.t cartoon are the best ::iLL WiLL PreSS:: HOME OF NEUROTICALLY YOURS, 4Y-RECORDS & MORE. (http://www.illwillpress.com/vault.html)

Oh my word you girls have to see the first toon there the smoking one lol

The cartoons are just hilarious. I am choking on my dinner right now.

You guys are so crazy. I could almost follow what you guys were talking about.

Recording:58 hours.
Sold the house
I will pay some old bills
Kids going to dance
Cleaned out old house, not done yet
Dumped over a big thing of watered down dog poop, left from the renters, I was PISSED and so was my husband. We worked in that stank for an hour or so. Bad news.
Anyway. I feel like being a vegitarian tonight so I need to go to the store.
I quit smoking!! Hugs to all. Start

Crazy, you call that crazy. You should seriesly see the old thread.

I tried those 1500 posts, I say forget it. Takes way to long and I couldn't quit get what you were saying, sometimes I still don't... Someone must be moving, you have a wife and child, Synnen wants a house, curlyben and curlybenswife are married. That one wasn't hard but it is hard to put it all together when you can't see faces. J_9 switched her picture, that threw me for a loop (although it is the cutest pecture of all) I am a hands on kind of girl, this computer thing is getting easier, but I still have my days. I hope everyone has a nice weekend, I will thank God for all the great moms out there. And pray for the bad ones. Hugs to all.

Can't breathe... tooo funny...

Start, I give you credit not just for the 58 hours but trying to understand us. WE don't really understand us that much. But its fun to try. Anyone asks about the clothes basket ride, that's me or my son who actually tried it out down a flight of stairs.
Joe becareful about runnig around stores acting like a lunatic. My dad and I got thrown out of a store for playing around like that. True story
eBay is fun but be careful. Always research what you're buying and the person selling it. I literally got screwed on a pda I bought and the seller refused to take it back. They have since been banned.
A lot of stores do business there and they're pretty good. Christmas shopping was a breeze. So was amazon.com
I'm going out tomorrow to get my hair nails and eye brows done. Just for fun and treat myself.
The boys brought home their mother's day gifts. They were precious and the plants are really nice. They probably figured they could shiney up the apple since Saturday is allowance day. Hehe Just kidding. They're great kids.
Oh joe, becareful what you say in front of superbaby. I made the mistake of calling a bad driver an sob. I did use the unabreviated version. Which my son at the age of 2 1/2 repeated very clearly in a grocery store when he dropped a can of cat food on the floor.
But hey it could've been worse. He could've said what my niece said to my father one day.
Lets just leave the remark to your imagination.

Chippers, we usually use sleeping bags down the stairs. The funniest thing in the world. And you are right about Joe, sometimes you can get kicked out forbeing weird. Joe, be good. Have a great weekend everyone!

It is so much fun acting like a little loony sometimes. I love having fun that way, and usually make people laugh not cry.

Oh, Chippers. Personally my wife needs to watch her language more then I believe it or not. I am an angel in the language department. The only time it really truly comes out is hardly ever lol.

Chippers about the flower, I want you to pick one for me. Please. I am leaving it in your hands. I trust you will pick the perfect flower to plant.

Joe

Good morning My lovely Ladys and Joe I hope you are all well.

Chippers my favourite plant is a lavender plant but it has to be the french kind.

I hope you all enjoyed the toons yesterday xxxxxx it's the weekend yay yaya xxxxxxxxx

All of you are just so precious. So here is a BIG hug.(... )

Good Morning one and all.

Chippers, your post just always make me smile. SOB :). Too funny. Chippers I would be honered, more than I could tell you, to have you plant a flower in my name, along with all these other incredible people. Okay, favorite. I would have to say impatients. The pinker the better. Purple is pretty as well.

May the sunshine brightly for all of you today.

My little guy got to sleep 2 hours later, all he did was cry and scream. His gums look too swollen. Oh, and I thought we were going to get off easy, but nature and Joshua had other plans. We were telling a neighbour yesterday he is pretty mild mannered and teething has not really been that bad of a process. Then Bang, it explodes to a big circus of a screaming in pain fest last night, n starting this morning too.

You really are foolish you brought that on yourself that will teach you to boast lol
But in all honesty Joe the first few are nothing compared to the big mollers you have no idea what you have ahead of you lol I've tried to warn you giggle your lovely little man will turn into the devil disguised giggle they grow horns and everything.

I hope my wife is prepared for it. She is already losing it lately and nothing really has been happening. She can be very impatient when things are not going her way, but what she needs to realise is with a baby expectations like that are impossible to keep, maybe you can talk some sense into her one day. I find she loses it or gets frustrated over the smallest things now. I am there trying to tell her to relax and calm down but that just might be making it worse.

That my dear is normal its frustration and lack of sleep and feeling like its you that has to do everything weather it is or not its hormones hunny, don't pick holes in her for it the best thing you can do is help her solve it in the nicest way possible she just needs a bit of tlc and is feeling like her only role in life is a mum its quite a shock to the system everyone feels it at some point.
When she gets upset or frustrated go put your arms round her and tell her you love her and thank her for joshua it's a nice boost trust me.

Thank yo Laura, I definitely needed somebody else's perspective on it. I tend to take it personal and I tend to want to deal with things and pick holes about it. Your right, I need to approach it differently. Thank you very much again for reminding me what is truly important and what will probably help her better.

(;

When she gets upset or frustrated go put your arms round her and tell her you love her and thank her for joshua its a nice boost trust me.


Oh Laura,

Just beautiful advice here. Joe, this will do it.

Last thing I want to hear when I am spinning, is "calm down, relax" :eek: . No matter how loving you say it, it just seems to fuel it even more. Makes it feel like what we are upset about, we are being silly for being upset, like we are being out of control. Which we may be LOL, but don't dare tell us that :).

Just beatuful advice from Laura. Hug her, tell her how much you love her and thank her for the beatufiul gift, Joshua.

And it works every time ben does it and I melt ;)

And it works every time ben does it and i melt ;)


That is so so sweet. :).

Thank you both Christine and Laura.

Your both wonderful and I appreciate everything. I will defiantly do that a lot more instead of the calm down and relax bit.

I do not mean to be that way, but when the hormones are nutty and she gets crazy I just want her to relax and calm down. I like to be at peace.

I like everybody to be at peace. The thing is I know when mama gets frustrated everybody else feels it too.

I am going to go now and give Her a big hug and let her know how much I love her and our superbaby.

Have a good day everybody. Going to the city for a couple of days. Bringing back My wife's aunt, uncle and cousin for a picnic get together tomorrow.

As christine says if you say oh just relax its fine your just stoking the fire I have to admit id probably throw something at you lol my way is a much better way to get a nicer reaction xxxxx have a good weekend xxxx

Yes, it is and I thank you again and Christine.

All is good and we both feel lots better.

Oh you. Have a great weekend everybody.

The golf ball theory of life « churumuri (http://churumuri.wordpress.com/2007/01/11/the-golf-ball-theory-of-life/)

Our friendly monkey just shared this with me and I really want you guys to read it to its lovely xx

Laura and christine are right. As a mother whose seen babies cry from time to time. We're used to the cuddle and kisses and rocking chair to help. But for those times that it doesn't work, I feel helpless and angry with myself because I can't take away their pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm failing at being a mom. I tend to let loose on the nearest person and that would be mr. chippers. Like you, he's very supportive and a loving husband and father. He also tends to take it personally feeling like I'm blaming him for failing as well.
It's taken a while to realize we aren't failing our children because we can't stop their pain all the time. And to be very honset the crying can get to you. But there is hope.
My personal remedy for teething pain worked 95% of the time. If Josh will take it. Put a pacifier in the freezer after you dipped it in water. It won't freeze but will get very cold.
If he's over 9 months, dip a Q-tip in honey and swab off the excess. Then paint his swollen gums with it. It's a natural anestheic and anti-inflammatory. Honey was once used ages a go to treat burn patients because of its natural pain releiving properties. My grandmother used it on my mother and my mother used it on me and my brother.
Thre's been a lot of talk about it hurting babies but I've never heard of one yet. We're talking about a small amount not the entire bottle. Also baby tylenol or motrin drops will work. But the cold pacifier is soothing to his little gums. Also give him infant gas medicine because all that crying will cause gas to build in his tummy.
Once he's calmed down and falls asleep LET him where ever he does. Even if it's a swing, stroller or crib.
Then you and super wife have a glass of asti and relax.
By the way, I've picked pink lilacs for your flower. Very fragrant and beautiful. My grandmother had a tree in her yard and I'll plant it for the both of you.
My this garden will be colorful and beautiful. Just like all of you are.

I love it Laura. It hits the nail on the head.
Chippers

That's what I thought too when I read it I knew only to well that you wonderful people would appreciate it too we have cap to thank for it he had a odd message on his msn and I asked why so he showed me that and I'm so glad he did because its an amazing article.

Love to you all its another wet day here but I've just noticed I have my first alpine strawberry growing :D woo hoo I honestly didn't think they would take when I got them they were bare root and looking real sorry for themselves (something else I bought from ebay) and now 4 weeks on there as happy as plants in a pot giggle.

Thanks Cap & Laura for sharing that... love it!

Good Morning everyone. I wanted to share this with all of you. It's a quote I had heard once before, and I came across it again. Just reminds me of all of you. You all have a very special place in my heart. Special hugs today for our Chippers and Synnen. We love you both bunches!!

I asked this question before and my e-mail said I had an answer but I can't find it. This time I am writing down that my question was asked on page 38. Think this will help?

Its quite simple isabelle read the actual welcome note if then you have a question ill answer it but its pretty obvious.
And for the record this is on page 39

Our friendly monkey just shared this with me and i really want you guys to read it to its lovely xx

They used this story at graduation last week. I had heard it in psychology classes endless times, but it really made a point at graduation.

Its just such a cool theory and it really made me think.

Oh, I quit thinking. It is summer break, do I have to still think or can it wait until fall semester?

LOL mmmm if you stop thinking you might turn into a male ;)

Oh, Jeeze, better jump start the brain then LOL

At least it will only be the brain your pumping...

Yes I read the quit smoking and I read the top introduction. I was wondering about the word "Wittering". I did not mean to intrude. Good luck with your quit.

Just thinking of all of you, hope your weekend is what you want it to be. Hugs to all of you.

Yes I read the quit smoking and I read the top introduction. I was wondering about the word "Wittering". I did not mean to intrude. Good luck with your quit.

Ah ha had you have read all of the 39 pages you would have found that explanation ;)
Wittering means lots of people talking. Look it up in the dictionary ;)


Just thinking of all of you, hope your weekend is what you want it to be. Hugs to all of you.

Hiya start how are you hunny how you getting on this weekend??
Its been a weird one here as ever lol nothing new there tee hee ;)

I am getting along fine. The kids are planting flower seeds in the front and I was just doing some house work. I am starting a new book, by Fanny Flagg, "Can't Wait To Get To Heaven" Love books. No time to read them though. I agree it has been pretty weird for me too. Hope you have a great evening and smile a lot. That is what I am going to do. Hugs, Start

Hehehehehehe I love reading to I'm a total girly novel freak and harry potter of course giggle.
No gardening here this weekend all its done is piss down...

Yes the weather has taken a turn for the worse. I am getting into the shower finally. Have a good day. I am officially a non-smoker now. Proud but still missing them. Hugs to you today... Start

Good on you hunny keep it up xxxxxx lots of hugs xxxxxx

I decided to mop the floor before my shower, so I stink still and am in need of a massage. I have only had one in my life, but I could use a million. We are going to Nana's today, I am going to look through her antique shop and maybe even pick something pretty out. Just to let you know, you guys have been a wonderful addition to my life. You are making a difference in someone's life (mine). It is a pleasure to know all of you. I have a hard time spitting thoughful words out sometimes so you might want to print those ones out.
My brother called from Alaska, I really want to go and say hi, I was raised there my whole life and moved to Oregon about 6 years ago. I love my family as they are still back in AK. I miss them all so much. I think I will take a trip to see them.
Hope you get one little ray of sunshine today CBW!! Hugs, Start

Oh, start, I LOVE AK!!

I lived in Anchorage and Wasilla 13 years ago and miss it horrendously!

I lived in Anchorage from age 8 months to 27 years, I wanted out when I turned 9months. Isn't that awful. Not to say how much I hated it, it just wasn't where I needed to be. Love the senery and my family and all the memories that were made there. I just love my life here now and it works, you know?
Dustin, my husband has family here and was raised here, so we thought it would be a great start. I am pretty sure we were right.
My sister bought a house in Wasilla, it is so much different now, it is actually a little city now instead of the old "drive through" to get the last minute camping stuff. Walmart and everything.
Anyway, I love you guys, you have helped me through some tough days, and some of you have made serious impacts on the way I look at things. How can it be that I feel so much for you guys when I haven't even known you that long. Good friends are hard to come by. See you later everyone. HUGS, Start

Hehehehehe because we are special and special people are meant to be together :D just shows you are meant to be here too

Wasilla has a WAL MART!! :eek:

When I was there Carrs had just opened.

Rae, my girl, was like you, she came out at 8 months in Palmer Hospital. She was anxious to see the REAL view.

Laura,

Guess who just called me? Yeppers, Chippers!! She is having a good ole time at the fair and will call me later so that I can hear the Ricker in concert!

Woooooo Hooooooo!!

Thanks. You are right. I took a shower and feel refreshed and new, I asked the kids why I look old today and they said cause I am. I have to go tie them up and put them in the closet for the remainder of the day. I know I know I need to be a bit nicer. Not today baby, not today, they are going down. (at least the 10 and 12 year old are) HUGS

Yes walmart. Palmer huh? My youngest son Max was born here in Oregon and gets real mad when everyone else says they were born in Alaska, it is kind of cute.

Giggle give them nothing but vegies for the dinner giggle

Veggies it is. I am going to have from my lovely husband some alfredo with grilled chicken and lot's of other good stuff. He is a great cook.

Ben cooks Sunday lunch all the time its my one day off even if I do get all the washing up tomorrow lol

I don't mind washing up, as long as my tummy is full and Dustin does it with love, I am down with that. Good for you taking a day off, I will soon be enjoying dinner. Hugs, I have to pay attention the noises in my hall closet now!! HAHAHAHAHAH

LOL you mean you didn't gag them hell women come on sort it out ;)

I know, I should have learned my lesson the last time when the lady next door came to see if anything was wrong.. LOL You have me crackin up.

Tee hee honestly women what are you like ;) your supposed to learn from your mistakes giggle

Good morning Lady's and Joe hope you are all well :D

Its another grumpy Monday here I'm considering locking myself under the stairs until its all over lol

I learned my lesson fast. That is unless you really want to know how someone is, don't ask or they'll give you their life story.
oh bother.
I went out Saturday and had my hair nails and eyebrows done just for a nice treat. I came out feeling like a new woman. I'm rechanneling my flapper obsession again and went for the bob.
I went to the rick springfield concert yesterday. When I tell you I was 2 INCHES from shaking his hand and fell on my arse, I'm not lying. But it was worth it. I actually had fun. I called J-9 and let her hear as much of it as I could.
Start congrats. You are officially a non smoker and a member of the top branch society.
(crowns start with a laurel wreath and officially welcomes the new fledgling goddess.) you may dance your happy dance now.
I can't wait to get the garden started next month. The nursery guys said early June for the flowers I'm planting is better. I'll take tons of pics for everyone to see. This is my way of showing everyone here just how much I value and love you all. And how much Your friendship means to me. Someone once told me that a friend is a gift you give to yourself. I say then I'm the luckiest woman in the world.
we're togethr for a reason as I'm sure Our resident Guardian angel All heart would say, God brought us together.
If I'm dreaming you guys up PLEASE DON'T WAKE ME!! Hehe
chippers

Hehehehehe glad you had a good weekend hunny you deserved it :)
J told me about the call last night when we were troll hunting giggle.
Your garden will look lovely I'm kind of pleased with everything I've planted in the last month its all come on really well.
Lots of hugs xxx

You mean you really DO want my life story?

Thanks to all of your for your well wishes about Birthmother's Day.

Hope you all had a nice weekend, and a nice Mother's Day. Chippers, your mom was smiling at you all day yesterday!

You girls and Joe, if I never wrote another word, I could still read you everyday! How sweet can people be. CBW, we need to get you off the bad day crisis. Can you just leave and go to a special spot today? Chippers what ever you have planned, it will be beautiful. Synnen, you were in my thoughts all weekend. Joe, I hope the teething is better, they have homeopathic teething tabs that desolve right in your mouth, never worked for my kids but they might for yours. That is a tough road. BUT it is one that ends. Allheart, you have a wonderful way of showing people how special they are. I am enjoying the thoughts of yesterday. Children and yard work today! Fun stuff to come. Hugs to all of you...

Hehehehehe Im all right I just don't do to well when I have broken sleep I'm so used to millie sleeping through that I turn into a oager giggle.
Glad to see you are all OK xxxxxx

Maybe you could snuggle with her to take a long nap. Poor baby, and you... she loves you

Way too quiet today, what the heck is going on out there? Today is supposed to be a great day, but I am feeling a little low. I am going to read my kids jokes and see if I can crack a genuine smile.

I'm sorry... I am having an extraordinarily hard time today.

With Mother's Day this weekend, and my daughter's birthday tomorrow... it's tough to begin with.

But to top things off, we found out that I'm NOT pregnant (again) yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day to me, huh?

Oh my darling Syn its just so dam unfair you deserve a wee one more than anyone lots of love and hugs to you sweety chin up remember your special.

Start your going to be just fine keep it up all power to you for doing what you are doing sweety.

Hi everyone -

Startover, you are just way too cute. :):). And so proud of you!! You stay strong.

Chippers and Laura - special love an hugs come your way.

Synnen- if only what I feel for you could erase what you are going through.. What we all feel for you. Not one word I type here seems the right word to type. All I do know Synnen, is I do have faith. I really do. And just feel there is a master plan at work. Bumber is, we won't know what that plan is until it actually is revealed. Until then, you stay nestled ever so close to those who love you and be sure to keep us in that group.
Love you bunches Synnen.

Hugs to superfamily as well.

Sorry I hope I did not forget anyone. Just know all of you are in my thoughts and heart!!

Synnen, I feel compelled to offer one of my children to you, pick any one you would like. No, I am kidding, I just want you to feel better. If I could I would have that baby for you. What is the situation, I am not up to date? My sister in law had twins while they tried for two years to get pegnant. Thousands of dollars later and many appt's. They didn't think she could, she had a very small chance but it happened. And to top it all off, since she didn't think she could have any children she never went back on the pill and a year later guess what, little Hanna is here, 3 babies and they said it couldn't happen.
I can't imagine what hurt you are going through. Just close your eyes and feel my arms around you with my sweetest hug ever. I will be thinking of you. Start

You guys are the BEST.

Startover... I placed a child for asdoption 15 years ago, and her birthday is tomorrow. Now my husband and I are having no luck for a child, after 5 years. We haven't done fertility treatments at all, because the price is soooooo steep, and not covered by insurance. It's hard to justify a few thousand dollars to find out if you CAN get pregnant or not, you know?

Plus I've gained so much weight from quitting smoking, that it LOOKS like I'm pregnant. I'm going to SLUG the next nice woman that asks "And when are YOU due, dear?"

Just a frustrating and sad day for me.

How I could get through without you is beyond me, though. Thanks. You have no idea how much it means.

Synnen, you are the strongest ever. I have more respect for you than I did just 5 minutes ago. About the weight, I am waiting myself to see what happens, I am going to take a kick boxing class, maybe that will help me get my grove on. I am pretty sure you got a grove too, you just got to find it. Listen here, you quit smoking! You did it Synenn. Keep your chin up and take on this crazy world. I wish you the best baby making in the world. Like Allheart says, it will come, you just never know WHEN! It would drive anyone crazy to play the waiting game. Hugs to you. Start

Um - hope no one minds, but this dancing fireman is just for our Synnen, but I am sure she will share :)

YouTube - The Firefighter Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3NX-4EiSMs&mode=related&search=)

Love fire fiighters!

What should you do when you are dying?

Go to the cupboard and eat the roll of LifeSavers.

Ugh... I have to go home to watch that...

But Firefighters + Dancing MUST = yum, right?

seriously... thanks for holding my hand through today. I am so close to just losing it, and you are keeping me this side of sanity.

I know I have been lost in limbo land for the past few days, but I have spent the last hour or so catching up...

Synnen - I wish so much that I could help you. But I agree with Allheart that there is always a reason. I am thinking of you and blowing some baby dust your way... I wish there were better words to soothe you.

Oh syn my sweet you stay strong and you remember that you are better than all of them I promise you from the depths of my heart if I ever win the lottery your first in line for help.

Hey you stranger... good to see you today!

Allheart, have you ever seen those signs made of wood that look real old and distressed? Well, I am going to make one to put on the front porch saying, "don't look down on someone, unless you are helping them up" I will get it done this weekend. I love it. I need to follow that advice as do so many people.

This little quitters corner has got me doing things that I thought would have to wait. I am calling the hospital to volunteer once a month in the ICU for those little babies that need holding. Just to let you know I have written a list of things that mean something to me and I am going to check it off one by one. I am very proud of myself and thankful to you guys for feeling that way. Hugs, Start

Oh start millie was one of those little baby's she was 8 weeks early they never had enough help there it was kind of sad.

I can hold babies till I die, whether they are screaming, whimpering, or just laying there in my arms. I LOVE BABIES. If I could I would adopt them all. Well there is another story for another day. I wish I could have held her for you.

You know... I feel bad for nattering on about myself like this... look at me whine, for pity's sake!

I have a good life, and for the most part I'm so very happy.

This is just the worst week of the year, you know?

Good for you Synnen, I thought I was having a bad day until I talked to you, then I felt just the way you are feeling right now. You are a good woman. You want to meet in the middle and have lunch?

Syn you can moan all you like my sweet that's what friends are for be sure if it annoyed us we would be telling you to shut up but you aren't because we love you.

Start she was tiny she was only 2lbs 9oz when born very weeny and after 8 weeks of being in that hospital it was enough for any saint.

Synn - we completely understand and love you.

Now help me find my puppy!

http://www.yunasville.com/img/022006/lost20puppy.jpg

Oh my goodness someone shoot me but how the hell did you get a picture of my neighbour lol

Hahahahahahahahaha I don't want to find it.

To right take that puppy outa there who knows what will follow...

Will I ever be able to give up pasta?

Laura - you crack me up!! Your neighbor.

Start, help that poor little puppy out.

Somebody actually sent that to me on email. Too funny :)

Love you guys. Synn - the sun will shine again and do not beat yourself up for having a down day. Ya hear!

Love you all.

I agree... why unblock that? Seems perfectly fine all stopped up to me...

Synnen, whine all you want... we all need to let it out once in a while

Busy weekend for me... stuck out in the garden, poor me... ;)

Alkaline who is that a picture of? How wonderful.

My baby and me. He's the cutest little button you ever will see... lol.. im not biased...

I have got a senerio for you: You love your kids and husband, his mother and dad have for the most part been typical inlaws. Mostly wonderful. They have two houses on their 4 acre lot in the country, Great Grandparents have the brand new house they got built for them, and Inlaws have the old one. They also have a huge shop that they are converting into a guest house. Me my husband and four kids move up to the old house and they live in the guest house so they can do more traveling and wouldn't have to leave great grandma home so much??

My worries, it won't work out and we are made out to be the bad guys.

Is money involved? My experience has always shown that money and family is never a good thing... no matter how close the family is... if no money is involved, it really depends on your fam.

No money just a house payment that we can afford. I guess it just means that my privacy will be gone, I mean they aren't rude by any means, and I don't walk outside in my underwear or anything, I am just nervous as hell. What if I have to tell her I don't want any company and it hurts her feeling cause we are very close and I think I would put my feelings aside so I didn't hurt hers. You know? I almost feel like I would be putting myself in that "danger" zone. My husband thinks we should go for it and never look back and I am just negative about it. I want to be more positive about the whole thing. I guess I just have to get over my issues and look at the bright side.

You have every right to tell her that then. Esp if you are paying your own mortgage payment. That would make it YOUR home for the time being and she would Hopefully respect that. I don't know what I would do... but my mom and I live very close, and she is mindful of our privacy...

Yes it is going to be our house. And yes I love her, I would be able to respect her and I think she thinks the same of me. So I guess it is a matter of talking it over with her and her husband and getting all the kinks out. We already live only 5 minutes away, but this will be a house apart, so you know. I know they need our help, but I was hoping that this would be a time in our life that we could be just us. I guess it boils down to whether I am going to help them or not. And of course when I put it to myself that way, then I say OK. Thanks. I hope you have a lovely day I am going to read some of my book while I can. Hugs...

I agree with alki, it depends on the family. My impression is that they're moving into the guest house so you and hubby will have to be care givers for the greats. It's kind of dirty pool. Not that you'll be caring for the elders but the way it was done. Working in a hospital it's called granny dumping. You're being madeout to be the bad guys because they (in laws) aren't getting their way. But in my opinion if you do care for the greats, you're getting their lifetime of wisdom and memories. As will your children.

Syn, I will always want to know your life story. As I would anyone of the club members. My heart goes out to you and I wish I could hug you and comfort you in some way.
My ex sister in law was in an accident as a child which resulted in x-ray after x-ray. When she reached womanhood, she was told the all that exposeure to radiation made her sterile. That she wouldn't be able to have children. My nephew just graduated high school and my niece is my twin as a kid. I guess what I'm trying to say is there is always hope.
My best advice is what worked for me when we were having trouble conceiving a second time(it also worked for my best friend) we stopped trying and forgot about it. We took things as they came and lived our life as best we could. Stress alone can be a deal breaker. I'd forget about the charts, ovulation charts, taking the temp thing and just enjoy your husband and celebrate your marriage. Take a weekend and go away together, open a bottle of asti and enjoy each other.
but... If you really want to try something that works, there's always the turkey baster.
CBW, I feel your anguish. I too hate interupted sleep. I make the wicked witch of the west look like a candy striper. Is millie still in a crib? If she is you could put her in it with toys and let hr play or watch t.v. while you take a nap. I used to fence Devon in the living room with furniture whle I took a short nap. He would play and watch t.v. with me still there.
The dancing fireman was terrific allhearet. Although my mind went in another direction when I first thought about. I imagined he would be barechested and rippled muscles . Ahhhh the thought alone puts me in a happy place. He's up there with Rick Springfield (wel not that high up but close). I'm a sucker for men in uniform.
I've been thinking a lot about what Start said. About wanting to do good things. I've been thinking about volunteering time at a nursing home and animal shelter.
I draw inspiration from everyone here. There is such a feeling of good will here, I feel empowered to share it. To want to be a better person, mother wife and friend. All because I know you.
I swear I see a chicken soup book here somewhere. You hear so much going bad about the internet but none of the opponents know you guys. Maybe they should.
then like me, they wouldsee they are in the company of angels.

Chippers

Ohhhhh how right you are. Chicken Soup for the Wittering Quiters Corner! Pretty fine idea, I say. Yes I love all of them very much, just a big step that is coming sooner than later. I will prevail whether I do it for them or myself, I just don't really care, I will prevail.
HUGS, Start

I have been a lazy lou today. Tomorrow I will be a busy bee. That is my goal. I still haven't called the hospital to see about volunteering. Don't let me forget. Have a great night and a beautiful morning! Hugs, Start

Good morning my lovelys here in the curly household all is quiet until this afternoon when I have my check up at the hospital :( I'm not really looking forward to it to be honest but I'm hoping ill get biopsy results and so medication that actually helps.

I hope everything turns out good for you laura, my best wishes for you with your appointment today.

Xxx hugs xxx

Cheers Joe lets hope they come up with a solution huh I'm getting tierd of it all I really am.

Cheers Joe lets hope they come up with a solution huh im getting tierd of it all i really am.


Oh sweetheart, you hang tough and just keep believing they WILL come up with one.
I can't imagine what it must be like, but you take this Allheart energy, and keep fighting kiddo.

Sending lots of love and hugs.

Good Morning one and all, lots of hugs.

I'll be OK can't make it any worse than it already is can they after 12 years of suffering if they can't control it now I'm not sure they ever will to be honest.

Im just wondering what the waiting time will be this visit keep your fingers crossed it will be less than 3 hours its just not feasible for me to sit there that long with millie its not fair on her or the other patients waiting when she gets cross and restless...

You just concentrate on yourself and millie. Don't worry about the other patients. You're just as important (more so to us here) as they are. It feels like forever and a day pass. I look at it this way bad news travels fast. I'm praying for you. Sending you warm wishes and love your way.

chippers

If I could I would babysit and hold your Millie safe till you got the good news from your doctor. You get extra thoughts and hugs in my thoughts today!

Sadly no good news colitis is still there and he thinks I may have hemeroids too what a lovely man I don't get the hemeroid bit to be honest but hey ho.
More meds of the same that don't do an awfull lot except make me eat the joy of steroids huh.
Hope you are all having a good day xxxxx lots of love xxxxxx

/hugs, hugs and more hugs

I really wish there were something I could do.

I'd even kiss it all better, if I could!

Oh Laura sweetheart,

I don't like that news. Sure you don't either. I guess the hemroids would be from all the aggrevation due to the colitis. I guess. Oh disapointed for you CBW. Sterroids? I didn't know you were on them. They do work for what they are supposed to, but boy the side effects stink. Boy aren't I one cheer me up wagon. Sorry.

Okay here's a little fella to cheer you. Not sure what that is on the little guys head... but how cute?? Love you sweetheart

Oh, I am sorry. I hope you didn't have to wait long. Why do you have to wait so long? Have you got an appointment? Is that just how it works where you live, or is there something I don't know. I am just sorry. I hope they get you something soon. Hugs to you CBW. You are too sweet to be upset. Hugs, Start

There is a LIME on that cat's head, and she's NOT happy about it!

I feel sorry for the poor schmuck she eventually got even with.

Hehehehehe I've got that kitty on my msn he is ssssssooooooo cool

Helllooo! I'm am super busy today, so I'm popping in for just a minute...

CBW - Im so sorry it wasn't good news... im thinking of you.

Synnen - Yes, we just went away to Gatlinburg for the weekend to forget after trying for several months, and it just happened...

Allheart... You make me smile!

I have talked a long time with the mother in law and I told her all of my many little concerns about moving up there. Including the little things like, the kids wandering over unannounced, grumpy ole father in law, they said that they were real concerns and that they have gone over them in their heads too. She also said, she doesn't need help with the grandparents unless they take a trip, but mostly with the 4 or 3 acres and the swimming pool. So, I guess I am going to go with the kids and help them out. You might be hearing from me about this. End of summer and we might be there. Just a heads up.

As for the smoking, I still want one, but I just make the better choice and don't have one. I will survive.

You guys are just great, it seems everyday I learn that everyone on here has more than just QUITER'S issues. I am glad to see that you are so understanding because of them. Hugs to alllllllllll... Start

WHY do people wait for the last minute, and then get mad when you can't get them in the schedule.

Is it somehow MY fault that they can't pull their heads out of their rears far enough in advance to schedule further out than the next day?

ARRRRRGH!

I am laughing, but not at you. This is always how it seems to be, huh? I know I know. I am going to turn on some cool Crystal Gayle and live in her CD today. The kids hate it and to tell you the truth everyone I know hates her too. I don't care, I want her to make my "brown eyes blue" today.

Seriously... I had a woman yelling at me for five minutes because I didn't "save her a spot" on Friday, when she ALWAYS gets her windows done the 3rd Friday in May (which isn't true--we keep records) and she took that day off from work, can't I call someone else and make them reschedule?

I'm like... Lady... Number one, you're a measly $50 window job. Number 2... it's 3 days in advance! If you were like $1000, MAYBE I could get you in, but for $50, my crews would laugh at me!

I'm just frustrated today... can you tell?

LOL oh man she needs a do you realise how important you are in the scale of 1-10 gggrrrr I hate customers lol they have been the vain of my life right from leaving school,

Yes I can tell. I know there are stupid people out there, I know that sometimes I am one of them, I just try to make it right after my stupidity. (if I ever figure out that I was being stupid) anyway, Synnen, you are going to make it through this day. I know you will.

Of course syn will get through today and every other day because she is amazing and fabulous and loves me more than espresso lol

Hey, CBW I wanted to ask if your doctor has told you to drink more coffee. I know it sounds weird, but I brought up the mention of you and she told me to tell you that they say it might help. I don't know, I am definitely NOT medically literate, but it might be worth checking into... And yes she is fabulous.

Awww... you guys are making me blush!

I'll make it through... luckily I'm good at telling people that they're stupid in such a nice way that they don't realize it right away :D

I'm evil like that, you know.

Mmmmm... Espresso... Laura, I hope you KNOW how much love that is!

I really want to stay on the computer to see what is going on. I DO NOT want to do all the paper work that I NEED to get done in order to pay all those stupid bills. Synnen, will you be my bill payer, I bet you could get those suckers to lower som rates for me, maybe even cut the damn bill in half. You would be a big help. I will buy the ticket, we could go to the coast and pay bills and shop. Sound good?

Ah Start nice thought but it actually irritates my bowel I've suffered for 12 years sweet there isn't nothing they have tried there's only one solution and that won't happen unless I'm at deaths door.
Colitis is a nasty disease just because its not seen people have no idea but I'm used to it but I have to admit it doesn't help my moods at the end of the month when my period strikes because I'm then losing blood from both holes I end up like a rag doll.

Yes, I have found out what it is. You poor thing. I would help you if I could. Hope you just lash out here enough to sooth yourself a little, we still think you are great! Hugs

To be honest the only side effects I have is the swollen sides bleeding and being tierd.
But what they would normally treat it with I'm allergic to don't ask how we found that out I'm kind of lucky to be here, but lets not dwell on that dull stuff so the only actual real cure is to remove my bowel and that won't happen while I'm alive and healthy.

I understand. A family friend did that and she wears the bag. She is getting back to normal after two years of making that decision. Now, having said that, I wish you well. I am so glad you are one of the lucky ones!

Hell I fought like a loon at 18 to stop them doing that there was just no flipping way I was going through that at 18 and I still won't do it at 30 I just can't imagine it my uncle had his removed 15 years ago yucky

You are a strong woman. Good for you sticking to your guns, now tell me why they make you wait soooo long for your appt.

LOL it's the nhs hunn, you have to remember we brits don't pay for out hospital or dr visits if we want it sooner then you go private and boy do you pay.

Hugs to you Laura, and we are sooo not giving up. You will get releif somehow. I promise you!

Hugs to you honey

Oh you, you Brits... hee hee. I guess there are pro's and con's to it. I am battling a bunch of Doctor bill today, some have gone as far as collection because I couldn't do anything about them except for ignore them till our situation got better. Having four kids and a husband, I haven't even dared step foot in an office to get myself healthy. Now that we don't have to make two house payments, we will beable to get them taken care of. I guess you can say that sometimes I wish I had your way of life, but if I would definitely want to choose my own doctor and get in when I needed to. Hugs to you. I am off to make more calls, in which I think Synnen would be better at it.

Oh we have our own dr surgery assigned to the area you live in they deal with the every day stuff you walk in you see them you walk out they refer you to the hospital and then its just a waiting game. We still pay for our prescriptions that's 7 pounds per item so around 14 dollars a item but we don't pay for the dr's time.
We have the choice of private medical insurance and then you can go private the waiting times are better but you still see the same doctors lol.

Ahahahahah... thanks, not that I know I feel a little smarter.
I wish I did not have to pay all of these bills... ARRRRGGGG!
My husband is completely stressed out and I thought selling the house and getting some stuff paid would help him, for some reason it has done the opposite and I am struggling with all of these things happening around me. I will not smoke though. I mean more emotional things, I am quite worried about him. I will support him any way I can and love him through it I guess. Hugs, Start

Ah its only free so to speak children till 16 unless in full time education till 18 stay free but after 18 you pay national insurance it's a small cut of your monthly wage

Wow, I will stay where I am, I invite you too...

Hehehehehe I like our little country I love our brick houses our tiny roads and the general way of life I don't like to many people around me ;)

I understand, I am in the country. Ok, so be it, we will be computer friends... I will love it either way!

Hehehehehe my dear friend tess keeps saying let me build you a house on our land come live in Utah hehehehe id go mad I hate accents especially my own the northern english accent drives me crazy hense why I've always lived south of the country.

Laura, I' sorry to hear that. Colitis is hard to deal with and painful. The hemorroids are from the inflammation of the colon. I wish I could comfort you in some way. My prayers are with you.
Syn, you're a remarkable woman. She should've confirmed the appt before taking off from work. It's not your fault she didn't do what she needed to do. People alwaqys take their own stupidity out on others. Hence the more stupid they are the louder they yell. You are a goddess with grace under fire.
All heart, that's a cute pic of the cat. I agree with syn, that he probably got even with the bonehead. It looks like a citrus fruit bigger than a grapefruit. I can't recall the name of it.
Start, I'm glad you spoke with your mother in law and aired your feelings. I think it's always good to talk and get thibngs out in the open if you can. I hope it all works out for you and the better.
Alka, I'm glad you had a great weekend. I've never been to gatlinburg but I hear it's nice.

I hate to cut this short but my felines are sooo hungery they are eatting the computor.

Chippers

Going to keep an eye on madam she sounds a little chesty it shouldn't come to anything but I have a weird feeling she has hayfever.
She is sat with me on the sofa snuggled with her kitty blanket watching me too so quiet for 20 minnutes while she watches that and I catch up.
Hope your all well, lots of love and kisses xxxx
