Cool! Its actually clevedon but no-one's ever heard of it!

Oh I've heard of it all right tee hee and portishead I had two lovely friends that I went to college with from clevedon I used to like walking along the front there on Sunday afternoons and seeing the thousends of ladybirds lol

Yep, the front hasn't changed much although they've fixed the lake pool and people sail on it now. The pier is still standing...

Hehehehehe we nearly moved to clevedon from bristol when I was 14 but I kicked up too much fuss about changing schools

Good for you, I don't have a lot to do with Bristol really. I'm from glasgow originally then east anglia. We only moved here because my husband was in the RAF and we got posted to locking at weston.

Oh my what a place weston is lol I have some weird memorys of that town too lol

Still very much a dive of a place I'm afraid!
Still, I have some good friends there who seem to have escaped the worst of it..
Lol!
:p

When I was a kid it was an amazing place to be but as I got to teenage years it started really going down hill then it's a shame because its actually quite a nice place really.

Its full of old people now and yobbo's hanging around the front.. shame.
Oh well, it's a good job things don't stay the same or we'd be very boring people I'm sure... lol

That's for sure, I do like it down here though the pace of life seems a lot less crazy and people seem less worried about looking like a super model.

Super model?? Fat chance! Lol, I've just started back at the gym in the last couple of weeks, got a holiday to get ready for in novemeber and I need ALL the time I can get!
~sigh~ back to the apple & fruit for lunch then
:(

I swear Moo we were at my sisters the other weekend for my nephews 1st birthday and every mother that turnt up looked like she had just stepped of the cat walk I was amazed it was a flipping baby's birthday party giggle

I'm fat & happy (-ish!) and proud of it.
Give me dawn french anyday over kate moss!

To right I couldn't agree more I'm happy as I am I'm comfortable with myself and have nothing to prove giggle

Jez likes me the way I am and that's all that counts in my book!

Exactly me dear I couldn't have put it better myself.

Gooood morning all!

Hi Al how you doing hunny

Just dandy... although I'm suffering with the allergies... not allowed on my normal meds... You sound nice and chipper this morning.;)

Yeah I'm not to bad just about to go sneak a nap while millie is snoozing tee hee

Must be nice. Do you stay home with her? I am hoping to do that once number 2 comes along...

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

(just stopping in to say hi!)

Synnenn, what the heck is going on now? You poor girl. Let it out we all want to know.I hope you have a much better day today...

I sure do al made no sense what so ever to go back to work child care here is extortionate I would have ended up earning 2pounds/4 dollars a week so that just made me see that there was no way id rather struggle see my beutifull daughter grow up than let someone else have the first words etc.

Syn hunny what's wrong?

Hi to all the beautiful special people today. Please all gather toghther... I'm waiting...

Thank you.

Just easier for me to give one big hug that way.

Love you all and I sure hope the sun is shining for all of you.

You are a sweety pie! Thanks for the hug. I will need it today. Seems to me I better throw out my stash, I kind of feel like smoking today. I have never gotten into the stash, I just kept it the last time I quit and it seemed easier knowing I could if I wanted to. When they are gone. Ok, enough about smoking. Have a great day as well. I really wish I knew how to put some of the funniest things in the world on my posts like you guys do. Is that just cut and paste or is it more detailed? Will I have to use my brain/ It is tired. See you soon.

Scuzy Ms. Startover...

If you promise not to go into your "stash"... we will tell you how to post pics.

Now, come on, raise your right Startover hand, "I Startover promise...

Ok, I did it. I won't go into it anyway, I have come to far. I have more things on my list remember. I f I can do this, I can do much more than I thought I could. That is where you guys have helped so much!
NOW GIVE IT UP!! Please...

Nope:D


*****************************************

Just kiddn.

Not sure how the others do it, or if this is right, but this is how I do it...

I Google for the image... when I find just the right one, I copy the website... then I come back to my post and hit the little square thing above. When you move your cursor over it, it says "insert image". Click on that, and paste the website of the image you wanted.

That should do it my friend. :)

ALLHEART, I never knew... I like that though! Good to see you are just like the rest of us.

LOL ask Ah who through her stash out giggle

I never threw it out, I just promised I wouldn't touch it. LOL!!

But ask allheart who binned her stash ;)

Ohhhh!! Yes Allheart let us get the dirt out?

What dirt?? :confused: :D

http://www.cvilla.com/automatic-dustpan.jpg

Tee hee she just let her husband smoke them for her while drinking his beer giggle.

I think Syn's other half throw hers out

Oh crap it isn't working. *^$#*#^&*(%$

Practice practice and thou shall achieve ;)

Well no chance in Dustin smoking mine, e has hated it since he met me. Still hates it. I am not a hater though, I love them... I can't get the damn thing to work. That is OK, I will just enjoy yours till my son gets home and shows me how! How about that.

Ah ha the best way in the world to get your kids to do it for you and don't forget if he refuses gag him and lock him under the stairs ;)

Oh Start - I hope I tol you right. The yellow box above. Next to the globe thing with the paperclip thing. When you hit the yellow thing above that looks like it has mountains, be sure and erase the http then is already in the box, then paste in your web site that you copied.

Oh honey, I stink at trying to explain. Sorry.

CBW I think you are right... it was Synns hubby who "hid" her stash. I think :)

Love you guys

I am waiting for Grady, he will be my hero today, I will let him have the good feeling. Ohhhh I am doing something on my list... Ohhhhhh

Giggle giggle I'm getting kitty love he is sat next to me with his head on my tummy :D

Lucky, I am listening to Jett on his daddy's "off limits" guitar. I can't stop him he is too cute, he is singing he loves his brother maxy! Too cute.

Hehehehehehe funny bless him he will be a rock and roll star when he grows up ;)

Im still getting cuddles he doesn't do this very often so I'm making the most of it.

Very nice. Have a great day, I guess I could actually pay attention to the young ones in my house. Hugs to all of you, and enjoy your day.

Oh, I know where the stash is, damn his hide.

I just ALSO know that he knows EXACTLY how much is in there.

/sigh... I really want to smoke today, too.

Just a tough day at work. We got a new phone system, and it's HARD!

Guess who is the new operator?

Ugh.

Most likely you are the only one that will do it well. Take it as a compliment and a challenge. I feel like smoking too but I am going to pretend that I have the will not too.

Oh, I'm good at EVERYTHING

(I keep telling myself that, anyway)

You are great to put up with my random whining today

Hehehehehe only syn can do it because everything she does is worth gold stars :D

'random whining'.
now there's a concept...

never give up giving up Syn. You can do it! I've been smoke free for 9-ish years and I still get the odd craving. Very odd they are too when they come along!

Honestly... it's not THAT hard to skip the smoking for me. I smoked djarums before quitting, and not that many people do, so I don't have the urge to bum them off someone. Plus, you can't just buy them at any gas station, so there's not THAT temptation either.

I'm just cranky when I want one is all :)

I should just go take a nap. If my boss asks, I'll say it's better than smoking!

:D see wise and well as beautiful that's our syn

Psssht.

You are all shameless flatterers.

I love you to DEATH.

This thread is better than Coffee! (But not better than espresso---that's just Laura)

I thought I was bad, I smoke Marlboro Reds. Wow, Synnen, a specialty smoke. That can tell a lot about a person. You are extravagant!!

Hehehehehehe extravagantly naughty I think that sounds like a wonderful way to describe syn giggle
Im a menthal girl :(

Menthol is for weenies, are you sure you ever smoked? Hahahaha just kidding, I never could get the feel for those. When my dad smoked, he smoked Reds, so when I stole them that is what I smoked. I started when I was 14 maybe even 13 but definitely 14. Anyway, fell in love with them but not willing to die for them. Hugs, Start

Actually I smoked marlbro lights for years but then I found menthal lol

I used to smoke menthals at college with my best friend.
We thought we were SSOOOOO cool!
:)

Hee hee. Yes the good ole marlboro. Why oh why do we do these things to ourselves? I just can't seem to fathom why I would just keep on doing it knowing the results in the end. I still can't figure that out.

I know but when you enjoy something you think it won't happen to you, I'm seeing the dr tomorrow I've got a bloody chest infection first one in 8 months but that's not the point and yet I still keep smoking

Because cigarettes are our FRIENDS!

They were there when guys were jerks, and there when we partied and there when we just needed a quiet moment.

(can you tell I'm jonesing?)

CBW!
You baaaad girl!
;)

I thought you were trying to give it up??

Oh jeeze, you guys stay strong... No Synnen, no! I really like those quiet moments, or when you got company and you had a few too many (one is enough to put ME on my face) they taste realllllly good then too. Ohhh, It isn't phasing me, I can handle it, I can dig it.

Head shoulders knees and toes... sing it with me imagine millie doing the actions lol

When I was sick, that was the time I wanted them the most. Isn't that crazy. Now I am all about pizza rolls and sun chip. Maybe I can get a finally get a little bit of a butt.

Eyes & ears & mouth & nose...

Hehehehehe what about wheels on the bus moo

Go round & round...

(I'm doing the motions too) my cats think I'm maaad!

I am putting in a little Kid Rock to get the words out of my head, don't you guys know it is rest time... Hee haa haa heeeee hheee

If my dog gets out one more time, I am going to get him with Grady's pellet gun right in the butt... I mean it.
Dang dog. See that is why I like cats. Ohhh I am mad now.

I'm doing the Little Bird Dance here

Get THAT song out of your head :P

Giggle its silly time :D

Nah... it's I've lost the last shred of sanity I have, so it's either be really silly or kill someone time!

(oh god... will this day NEVER end? Someone pass the gin!)

I can't pass the gin but I can pass a grin :)

No gin its depressive have a vodka and cranberry instead :D

Or a shot of crown. I am not a drinker, but whe I am, that is what I like!

You know what I really want is just a good cry.

I'm so frustrated right now I can't see straight.

Yes, go use the restroom for some privacy and get it all out honey. Mmmmmm, I am sory you are feeling so bad.

Well I have hardly any time lately. Just wanted to say hello to everybody. I hope Laura that you feel better and everything goes well with the tests. Love you all and miss you all.

Joe

I can't go anywhere :(

This new phone system rings MY phone first, for 3 rings, then the phones of 2 other people who have gone for the day, then one more person, then me again.

And I can't figure out how to forward the phones... and everyone is gone for the day.

I'm having way too much fun.

Synnen, just unplug the suckers and stop for a second. Take a deep breath and then go and pee on the other employees desks for leaving you like this! Just kidding about the peeing on the desk part. But just breath!

LMAO... and now one of our guys got arrested and we're already understaffed for tomorrow... oh wow... what's next?

That's crap. Just think if we got arrested, we could get some rest, eat something, even smoke if we wanted to...

Sorry but I have been having a hard time keeping up to everybody. Lol.

By the time I get home and have a quick peek here. 5 or more pages are already gone. Lol.

My God, it goes fast.

Hope all is well with everybody. Goodnight.

Joe

Are you feeling better Synnen? I just mowed a little of the lawn and I am for certain out of chape and my arms hurt like hell. Took the kids out for dinner and I told Dustin to go hang out with an old friend so he could take a break. Nity night for the little boys. Maybe watch a little American Idol

Well, My living room is mostly put back together (did I tell you about the flood?) so that helps my mood a lot. Plus there was LOST tonight!

I didn't leave work until after 6:30, so it was a really long, really trying day.

Thanks to you that stuck with me and got me through it. Seriously... this is the best group of people I've ever met, and it brings tears to my eyes that you are such... such... such FAMILY to lean on when I need it.

I only hope I'm as good a friend to all you as you all are friends to me!

Oh my god syn you didn't tell me you were a losty ooo oooo ooo lost has been my world since the start how addictive please tell me you followed the online game too??

Morning all!
How are things looking on this bright and cheery day?

You can tell I've had little sleep... I'm slighty delirious!
Have a great day all!
Moomin
:)

Hi Moo, Good morning hunny we haven't long been up but I was lucky to get a doctors ap for this afternoon :D

Bravo you! A doc appt on the same day? Now that's progress in the NHS!
Lol
I'm sure all will be well
~hug~

Our surgery is brill they have to see me on the same day because or it being asthma related ill just get given anti b's and told to stop smoking lol

I'm with you there sister! I get asthma too although it's soooo much better living here than in norfolk. Nice healthy air not full of crop cr*p!
Good luck

I didn't follow the online game... that was just way too much time to devote to a TV show!

I don't watch TV except for Lost. Mr. Synn got me hooked, and now Lost is our "Date" every week.

Next week is going to be REALLY interesting, but then nothing for a few months! ARRRRGH!

Giggle oh my the online game gave such an insight to the actual programme it kind of showed a lot more about dharma etc it was amazing.

Its kind of cool as we are now only 3 days behind we see what you saw last night on Sunday we were months behind but we caught up in the last hiatis :D

I love lost ill be gutted when it ends

Good morning all - many hugs.

Larua - I sure hope you start feeling better.

Love you one and all.

Ooooh... so I can't tell you what happened yet?

Gah, that's not so fun! I want to compare insights!

LOL you just have to wait till Sunday night giggle

Next week is going to be AWFUL, you know, when I've seen the finale and you haven't!

LOL I can download it now if I want to but I can't be bothered id rather wait and see it with no adverts on Sunday

Spoilers - LOST-TV Forums (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13)

I read there most days so I know what's coming lol

LOL... I refuse to read the spoilers!

That would ruin my date night!

Giggle bless you

Mornin pretty ladies, how are you? Ohhhh, I am tired. I am going to get a cup of coffee. I haven't ever seen Lost. I only watch Dora Dora/Scooby Doo and American Idol. Hugs, Start

Wow... reading the last few pages gave me this little image in my head... it was so funny, I had to piost it... esp when you were all singing children's songs... lol...
http://www.readwritethink.org/lesson_images/lesson948/monkeying.jpg
Im a losty as well... dont you love Heroes too? Im addicted to them both now... and the 4400...

So it was 46 degrees when I came in this morning.

The AC is on.

These people are NUTS.

Yesterday I sat in my cube with a winter coat on top of my sweatshirt because it was freaking 50 degrees in the office and lovely 73 outside... I just don't understand... then when it is 90 outside the air inside is only on 85... so we are all sweating like a bunch of rhinos... I will never understand the logic??

Where is everyone today? I am lonely. Ok, I will go get my responsibilities done. Only today though! See you...

I know... whenever I appear, everyone else disappears... :(

It is actually snowing in newfoundland.

Can you believe it.

Yeah, what is up with that? I have lot's to do and I was hoping to ignore it. Oh well I will do it. It sure is pretty here in Oregon right now. It will soon be 90 and I won't beable to wear anything but my bathing suit. Oh boy what a sight. I am thin and saggy. Not pretty. I was hoping to get a butt after I quit smoking, I guess it is too early to tell. I also will be getting excersise as soon as I take that leap. Then I might become a Hot Mama... Good luck to me I guess. Hope you have a wonderful day! I am ging to go do my stuff! Hugs to you...

Newfoundland? Yes...

Wow Joe I miss the snow, but not enough to move back to it! Lucky you. Go play!

Oh, Yes Newfoundland. Lol
I am actually not there but I heard about it. My family still lives down close to newfoundland and they said it was snowing last week one day as well.

I would think they get snow often... am I wrong on that?

"and now for something completely different...."

Too funny, you are too cute. Thanks

What is your icon?

Dustin and I went on the best ever trip for our 10th anniversary. We went as high up in the mountains as you can get here and there was a sign that said. NO FIREWORK EVER, NO FIREWORKS! I thought of myself because I don't like conflict and it fits me... I will change it soon, I just came across it and remembered out good time and what I was thinking of when I saw it for the first time...

Love the pics, just to let you all know I haven't disappeared just going to be resting for a bit and we are away this weekend. Saw the dr this afternoon got anti biotics so I'm off to bed early.xxxxxxxx

That's right... its getting late where you are... not even 4:00 here yet.

It is 3:40 here.

Well I am glad that the doctor gave you antibiotics. Get your rest laura, you need it.

Love all the pics and the funny ones.

Funny.

I will put up my doctor evil picture up soon. I know I did with the other thread and got lots of attention.

Lets just say some thought because of my answers and posts that I seem very old. Lets say in my 70's. The shock to everybody when I turned out not to be that old.

Joe

/sigh... I didn't deliberately disappear.

Just really busy... and the phones and internet went out today. Yay!

You must be in my time zone... but she lives in Europe right... so it would be close to 9 there... I think..

I'm Central time... so she's 6 hours ahead there.

It's just after 3 here, so it's a little after 9 there.

Yeah. Im eastern so I had it right... 5 hours diff here.

CBW, I am glad you got the right meds. Good for you. Synnen, I thought you would be happy that the new system shut down? Ya all right?
Joe, can't wait to see Doctor Evil. (whatever it is)
Alkaline, I hope you are having a nice day wiith your boy!
I am getting lot's done. So I am going to keep it up. Happy Days

Oh... but there was no INTERNET while it was down! I couldn't do anything!

And the calls kept coming in, they just got shuffled straight to voicemail. We couldn't get into voicemail, and couldn't make outgoing calls anyway.

It was a total CF.

Please god, pass me a smoke.

Oh no you don't, not if I can't. Please God kick her in the butt. Give her a little peace there at work to.. AMEN!

SuperTurkey to the rescue. Gobble gobble.

Not sure what this all means, but he's flying in to save the day.

http://whyquit.com/pr/Images/superman.gif

I am absolutely speechless at Superturkey.

I should just take a vacation and go visit my best friend in TN, and just STAY there.

Whose in Tenn?

My bestestest friend in the whole wide world (aside from Mr. Synn, of course) lives down there. He keeps trying to get me to visit, especially since I'm pretty good friends with his sister-in-law too.

Basically it would be time off with someone sympathetic who would feed me and give me good alcoholic drinks and a footrub. And an ego boost :)

But no smokes right?

Considering that he's one of the people that was after me to quit, I sincerely doubt he'll let me near smokes!

He is a good friend though, and I'm lucky to have him in my life :)

Ohhh GOOD! I hope youa re having a better day. I will see you later.

Morning sweetys how are you all doing?? Me I'm feeling like I have a huge elastic band around my chest lol
Love and hugs to you all xxxx

Goodmorning everybody. Saying a quick hello before going back to the mad house and dealing with the fiery hell and the devil.

Good luck with that Joe!
:p

Good morning! I'm bored... and falling asleep at my compter... sooo tired and I have a 5k walk for the KHS tomorrow...

I want a nap.

I want this week to be over.

I want my coffee to hit soon... I can't wake up!

I want the world's best weekend for all of you, my dear friends!

Ditto...

Do you think my boss will notice if I crash into my keyboard?

That depends...

Is whatever you're working on for your boss?

LOL! No I mostly go unnoticed here...

Probably not then.

If you go mostly unnoticed, you should bring in margaritas, IMO.

Hey guys, it is finally here. Friday! I am so happy to be done with this little section of my life. This week has been, weird, crazy, unruly, forgiving, just to name a few. Wow! I get Saturday and Sunday to myself, Dustin and the kids are going camping on the coast, I really want to go, but I have to get some stuff done and it is easier when they are gone. Top to bottom this house needs a good clean sweep. I am fast so I might even go buy a nice something for myself later. No smokes though, I don't dare go that route. Although I would like to still. Good weekend to all of you. And Synnen and Alkaline, no drinking on the job! Silly!

Start---you are doing GREAT! I'm so proud of you!

I think that truly the full moon on Wednesday brought out the lunatics this week, and we're all just dealing with the crazies!

Remember though... it's the end of this week, and it can only get better from here!

I agree... mmmm margaritas... ::slipping out::... lol... I would love a margarita, but I am not sure baby would enjoy it as much as me...

I hadn't follow that it was a full moon. No wonder it has been this way. Crazy I tell you. You too Synnen, you have done a good job too. Alkaline, the babe wouldn't like that, you are right. When is the angel coming to earth?

Hope you all are well I'm still feeling kind of green and achey and tierd but it will pass I don't like being poorly it sucks.

Lots of hugs you all have a good weekend love to you all xxxxx

Sheesh CBW, I wish I could help, or at least give you a break for a nap... I really hope you are feeling better soon. I have been so busy doing what I should, I stopped here for a minute. Getting a lot of CHECKS written, should I really send them or take the money and run? Loves, Start

Take the money and run.

I had an interesting experience in hell and dealing with the devil is easier then I thought. The devil thinks that he caught me but I am the one that actually caught him.

I also know, who the rats are. Which does not surprise me any. I have found them out and know who I can or can not trust.

It is too bad that the devil actually thinks that the rats actually have dignity and respect for him even though they are liars and repeats everything I or others that I work with say and you know what. My plan worked.

Oh, did it ever.

Ha Ha Ha

Holy cow, what in the heck are you talking about. I want to know, you sound so happy about this whole rat and devil thing. Did I miss something? Good job Joe. You did your thing!

/nods at Joe and backs slowly towards the straightjacket

Lol, troubles at work. I will explain more later. It is frustrating. Thank you for listening guys. I know the way I worded might make me sound like a loon because I left out most of the details. Just venting a bit.

I do my best at my job. I do it properly yet I have people going to the boss and others and telling lies and causing trouble for me. The boss is always on my a-- like a wet blanket and he won't get off.

So I did a bit of acting and experimenting and also said many things to certain people and flashed around my neat digital recorder that I was using as back up for me and my job just in case. It got back to the boss. It sure changed the way he spoke to me after he found out that I have it on me and I am recording his sorry a---.

Lol

LOL Joe is talking about work :D I only understand because of previous conversations on msn lol.
Lots of hugs to you all I hope you have a great weekend xxxxxxx

Nice Joe, you are a good, strong man that deserves to stand up for himself. I am glad you did! I really liked the looney out look on it though. Nice wording. Have a great weekend!

Okay so let's see... 4mg of Haldol, intramuscular... Hmmmm, Joe, that should hold the devils back.

Laura... you be good and take care of yourself and have a nice weekend.

If you don't, I'll be SAD!

/muchos hugs to make you feel all better

Opens the straightjacket for synnen... "shhh..you distract him...."

OMG! LOOK at that RABBIT!

(that's the only way I know how to distract anyone!)

Wow like 4 posts happened while I was typing that...

Baby comes in Late December/early January... im hoping for the tax baby.

Synnen - or you could always show your boobs... it works in the movies..

Okay group hug for Joe

http://www.pimpmycom.com/myspace/gifs/emoticons/love0059.gif

I am always a little jealous of pregnant people. It was the best time in my whole life and I would do it a hundred more times if Dustin would let me. I have brought up the possibility of carrying other peoples babies for them, he said I would run away and hide the baby for myself when it was time to give it to the parents, I said. Ok, you are right. I am very happy for you. You all know I love babies!!

I was a surrogate for my sister. If you know the person well enough, it is easier to give them their baby. But I was a gestational surrogate, so technically it was their baby... lol.

I love you for giving your sister that gift. What a wonderful thing to have done for her. Oh I could go on and on. Babies are very special. I guess I would feel the same with my sister. I don't know about a stranger though. I think Dustin would be grossed out if I had something in me that wasn't his. But that is just his mind set, he can't grasp that kind of stuff.

I'm always a LOT jealous of pregnant people! How I can be so happy for them and so jealous of them at the same time is beyond me, but that is the way it works.

Congrats on your impending little one!

(showing my boobs wouldn't work... I'm too old for that crap to work!)

Hehehehehe special people everywhere :D

You all are so sweet. I will see you later, I have to go tackle my boys and kiss them all over. I might even make them help me clean!

My friends have always said that I'm PESHUL, but that's not quite the same thing as special, I think.

It was an easy decision for me... she is ten years older than me and had been trying for years and years... she suffered miscarriage after miscarriage - her body just wouldn't hold a baby... so their final resort was a surrogate, and I just coudltn say no. They wanted a child so badly... Now he is my godson, so I still get to see him and help raise him. It was hard, but like I said, when you know what someone has gone through, its easier to part with the child. And he was never really mine to begin with, he was their child, I just carried him for a while...

Wow, that is so so touching that you would do that for your sister. That is an amazing gift to give somebody. Very selfless act.

Synnen - oh, the rabbit worked. Lol

J9 and everybody liked the group hug it helped. Thank you again.

About work. Everybody has a different approach of standing up for themselves. I might do it differently but sometimes through somebody else or sending a loud and clear message is important even though they do not want to admit their harassment behaviour, I am sure the devil is having second thoughts messing with me now, funny thing is he thinks all of this is somebody else's plan. Ha Ha, If only he really knew.

Anyway, To all, have a great night and awsome weekend. How many here have Monday off as a holiday?

I will check in later.

Joe

Monday the 21st? What holiday is that?

You go on with your bad self, Joe! Give it to the MAN!

Gah.. I have a headache. Someone amputate.

Synnen, I just have to say that it is high time, YOU took a break. Will you please do something for yourself this weekend. You need it. No one is going to amputate and make it easy on you... My husband says that all the time about his leg (lymphodema) and I tell him he is too heavy for me to carry.

Hehehehe go home syn have a nice long hot bath and light a few candles sink back into the water and close your eyes xxxxxxx

Victoria day,

Victoria Day - Canada (http://www.inglewoodcarecentre.com/history/victoria.htm)

Ah... my bad on the holiday.

I'm going home and taking a nap, since I still need to scrub my tub from all the ick that was overflowing into it. I've been so busy, I haven't had a chance to clean it! I just keep using my husband's shower.

Mmmmm... nap...

Aaaaaaawwwwwwww hunn :( I couldn't live without my bath I just love to soak so much.

You guys have been the BEST this week.

I would have never made it through this week without you.

Thanks so very very much. I seriously couldn't ask for better friends.

That's what we are here for :) lots of hugs sweety you have a good weekend xxxxxx

Hey you beautiful friends, how are you today? Went to the school carnival with my daughter, she is only 10. But I noticed that she is way too grown up. I haven't gotten to see her in her social aspect in a very long time, and wow. What do I do know? She is absolutely beautiful and I am scared to death. They all just follow her around like she knows what she is doing and the boys, OMGosh. She has started all the physical stuff a little early, not all there yet, but she is on her way to becoming a lady. I am very proud of her but worried at the same time. I really want to stay in the right direction. I see so many girls that turn around 11 or 12 into something, I can't recognize. Oh, I am going on and on. I hope you all are great.

Start - I am better now that I had some rest. Last night was the most trying night with little Joshua. He was waking up every 20 minutes and screaming and crying. Eighter gas and teething or both. We were topping him off with pain medication but nothing seemed to work. He was very very clingy and crying with everything. Nothing seemed to work to settle him down. Finally got him to sleep around 2 am.

It is weird, I here it all the time now that teenagers start so much younger then years ago. I just hope that if my wife and I get pregnant again. If we have a little girl that my little boy will follow her like a shadow and protect his little sister. So I do not look like that bad father all the time spoiling her fun. Lol

Anyway, I hope you are doing great, and that everybody is doing great this weekend. Hope all is well and be proud of your daughter. (; (; (;

Joe

Hello my lovelys I hope your all having a good weekend ours has been a little crazy but fun glad to be home though.
Lots of love and hugs xxxxxxxx

Thanks Joe, yes a girl is hard. But VERY rewarding. I get so excited with her, I love the intamate conversations between us and the secrets we share. She has an older brother and two younger. I hate to say that her and her older brother don't get along so well, but the two younger ones are completely in love with her. They would protect her under any circumstances. I just can't believe how big she is now!

I hope you have a beter nights sleep, that poor baby. I am sorry you are not sleeping very good. Good day to all of you!

Hi everyone. I've been kind of busy this weekend and I'm sorry I've missed everyone. Start, I'm so proud of you for getting through this week. I know from personal experience it's one of the toughest to get through. But you did!! I know what it's like to have time like that with a girl. I have no girls of my own and my niece and I share secrets and talk. I just wish I could get her out of the goth look. She's insistant on whereing black and she's a gorgous redhead.
Joe, I'm glad you got some rest and are no longer babbling. It's easier to understand you that way. Hehe
My father will be moving back to nj sooner than next year. Like maybe this August. I'm relieved that he'll be closer.
Turns out he knows a lady or has known a lady for 14 years. He calls er his lady friend.
I'm not sure how to accept it. Mom's only been gone for almost 2 months. I think it's too early but I wasn't married for 46 years and I don't know what the kind of loneliness feels like. He told me it's hard for him to spend time alone and hard cooking for himself.
It kind of breaks my heart to see him like this yet to me it's so soon after losing my mom.
He's 69 years old and has a right to be happy. I kind of expected this but not so soon.
Mournin g periods must be different as you grow older.
I can't hold anything against him because I haven't accepted her death yet. I still feel her near. And maybe neither has he.
I'm sorry to burden you guys with this but I had to get it off my chest. I knew I could come here and get honest answers. And I feel a little better.

I did not realise I was babbling before? Hmmm, Guess we all do it sometimes and do not even know it. Lol

I guess if I do, do that. It is not too often. I want you all to be able to understand what I am talking about.

(;

I guess it wasn't the right word. But b eing sleep deprived will have you doing anything

Babbling is the right word, especially since I am probably picking it up babbling from my little buddy Joshua. Hee Hee (;

Oh my Sweet Chippers - Believe you me, I understand somewhat how you feel. When my favorite Aunt passed away, I worried terrible how my Uncle would do as she doted on him hand and foot. My Aunt was more like our Mom or Grandma. Well, I'll be spinkle spankle, if he didn't go off to Florida a month later and find himself a "lady" friend. I think my mouth is still swung open from it. But I think what happens Chippers, mostly with men, it's the companionship. Your Mom has his heart and always will. No one will ever have that spot. Believe it or not, your Mom probably would want someone to "look after" your Dad. My heart and hugs goes out to you Chippers.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Love you all.

Chippers, I was so out of it early and I want to appologize. I personally feel that it helps a great deal just by writing down your thoughts and feelings, and as you know this is the best place to do it. I hope I did not look insensitive to what you wrote about your father and mom and how you were feeling, I just wanted to keep my response lighter at the time and I just wanted to let you know that it is very important that you share your thoughts and feelings. I just want to say that your mom would want your father to be happy and he is dealing with this as best he can just like you are. I am hoping that your waking up to beautiful songs in your heart and a smile from us our family to your family. Always hoping for the best.

Joe

Good morning my lovelys hope you are all well on this very grey looking Monday morning,
Its grey and cloudy here this morning :(
AH where you been hiding hunny hope your OK how is special angel?
Chippers your grief will always be there just in different stages hugs sweety xxx
Syn I hope you had a relaxing weekend lots of hugs
Start well done on your first week you must feel so proud xx
Joe I didn't notice you babbling but then I've been horribly pre occupied here all will become clear in time :)
Moo hope your well sweety xxxx
Al I hope your well too hunny and looking after that bump ;)

Hi everyone, thanks for the nice words. Yes it has been rough, and last night my husband said he was proud of me. WOW! You know Chippers, I can unserstand that it seems too soon for dad to have another woman in his life. But your mom will always be in his heart just like ALLHEART said. She is right. I am happy that he doesn't have to be lonely. Joe, it is good to see you are resting. CBW I hope your feeling way better than last week, you deserve to have a good day! Synnen, I hope you have the best work week ever. And if everything shuts down, I hope your computer is the only one with internet! Moo, have a lovely day! And where is Alkaline? I shot out my back last night, so I guess I will let the kids have a run at the house and I will eat junk food and drink lot's of water. OUCH!

I am thinking of you Chippers...

I'm in shock. Not about my father but of the outpouring of support from my wonderful friends.
AH I swear you are from heaven because only an angel could speak the way you do.
Joe, I would never think that about you and I hope you know it. A little levity does a world good.
Start, how did it feel when hubby said he was proud of you? Better yet, how proud are you of yourself? You reached a mile stone and have every reason to celebrate it. Treat yourself to something special like a manicure or eyeb row waxing. Mark each week with a reward and celebrate who you are a goddess. Just as we all are. Joe is a demi god, here for the other half. Hehe. Thank you for your words of encouragement.
As a daughter, I don't want my dad lonely or sad. It's hard seeing him alone and that bothers me. He tells me his lady friend is nice. She better be or she'll have me to deal with.
I'm sure my mom would want him happy and not to mourn her. They were together for 46 years in today's world marriages last 46 minutes. (so I read the gossip rags)
I don't think it's wrong either for him to have someone else. It's just hard to see him with someone else.
Dad says she's nervous about meeting me. I told him to tell her I file my fangs daily. That I'm not looking for a mother figure but someone who'll be nice to him.

Thank you all for your wonderful advise. I knew you would answer what I couldn't.

Hugs and chocolate

chippers

Chippers,

You know that if she's not nice to your dad, she won't have JUST you to deal with, right?

We'll all be lined up with you.

Yes, I have sharp claws...

I just have a pipe wrench.

But I know how to use it!

Synnen: In the Parlor with the Wrench...

Just remember... I look more like Miss Scarlette than I do Mrs. Peacock!

Chippers, I meant fangs, I guess I am used to people filing their nails not fangs so it came out like that. Sorry. Hi guys, hope all is good today! I don't think Chippers will have anything to worry about. If she is nervous to meet you then she is thinking about the same things as you! I am still laid up with the stupid back. I don't know whether to go to a chiropracter or a doctor. I don't like doing either of them but I might have to. Hope you all have a nice day! Hugs to all.

Ive got a secret I've got a secret lol I'm busting to tell but I'm not allowed lol ggggrrrrrr

You know what, that is not nice to say. You better tell now, you got me all wound up! Can you tell us who it might be about?

LOL I can't tell a thing and its absolutely killing me because I want to run round shouting and laughing its cruel isn't it I just wanted you all to share my pain lol

Well, thanks, I guess that is what we are here for. I hope it is good news and a great secret. I hope you can keep it! Hugs, Start

You're pregnant?

Oh you are evil.. you know we are a bunch of gossiping ninnies... knowing one person has a secret and we don't know what it is is more torturous than knowing one and not being able to tell it... lol..

Let's come up with a secret code so no one will know you told.

LOL its no good guessing I can't tell

Sure you can... we won't tell... lol... we're as quiet as the grave...
.
.
.
.
... I tried to keep a straight face...

LMAO Al that's funny if I tell ill get sevearly punished and you wouldn't want me to get bashed now would you ;)

You know we are just going to have to guess the most outrageous things ever then...

Who is going to punish you? CB? He won't know... actually he probably will, because he is all knowing, but He can come deal with us... lol

Brings the claws out again...

Hehehe... this is fun...

**Edit*** whoops, I didn't realize I was posting again... please don't hurt me...

LOL wooo hoooo OK um I've become a trainee astronaut

Secret? What Secret? CBW has a secret.

Okay guys... one of you hold her legs, the other her arms, and the rest of us will tickle it out of her...

MMMMMMMM I only have ticklish feet you will be brave to touch them :D

Heheh... I'll bring out Connor... he is a tickle monster...

Just tell. Give it up or the 1500 posts will go really soon from going back and forth back and forth, then you will have to start a whole new thingy again! Just give it to us, we can keep a secret.

Giggle I like helmets but not that kind sorry that was gutter minded lol
Send connor over I'm sure him and millie would have lovely fun :D

Get yer head out of the gutter. Are you trying to change the subject? Are you getting weak CBW? Come on let us know when your ready to spill your guts!

They probably would, but I don't know that he would make it the entire 4,000 or so miles to your place... but he could prove me wrong... hes a good swimmer... lol

Hehehehehehehe bless him Millies about to go for her bath then its my turn :D I'm so ready to soak.
Ill be back later gators xx

Quick! Grab the lasso... she's running away!!

Oh baby whip me lol

You are in the gutter today aren't you?? LMAO!

Sounds like she is. Sheesh, I am going to have to quit on this one, you just keep your secrets, just keep them. Snarl snarl

Giggle who me I'm as angelic as ever :D just got my naughty head on

Yes, in the gutter like alkaline said... You sound really good today CBW, I am happy for you. I don't know what we would do if you always felt good..?

Haha... go take a bath... clean up that mind a little... lol..

Clean SOMETHING up, anyway!

Hmmmm... let's see...

I know! You're taking Millie and running off to the circus to become clowns!

Oooh that's a good one...

Maybe they are going deep sea diving off the coast of madagascar?

They've become inspired by Johnny Depp, and they're going to be PIRATES!

Yo ho, Yo ho a pirate's life for me...

Maybe she is leaving to be a trucker lady. You could home school, I saw it on T.V. And you get to travel.

She's going off to become a FRENCH MAID! She just likes the uniform...

Hehe... she is going to do one of those house swap things... um...
.
.
.
With me!.
.
.
.
..
Aaaaaand... she will absolutely hate Kentucky...
.
.
..
But I will love Europe, so... all is good.. lol

I want a french maid uniform...

Wow, the imaginations on you guys today. I have to say and I know this is off the subject but I am going to see a doctor today for the first time in almost three years, I am a little nervous. I feel like when I get into my car I will just drive right past the Dr. office and say I went. I have done that before and everything turned out just fine. Gosh I feel so brave! Anyway, I think I will go and join the circus, then I wouldn't look so starnge all hunched over like this... I might live in a cage but at least I would get rest and food.

Going hungry and without sleep is worth not being locked in a cage of any kind.

Remember, the doctor isn't going to hurt you, but help you!

LOL you lot are mental I'm not becoming a trucker I can't bloody drive lol

Im running away with ty pennigton ppppffffftttttt in my dreams

Ty is busy doing Sears commercials. What about my Ricky Martain. I know he is old new to all of you, but he is still with me in my dreams.

Johnny Depp!

Yum!

Hehe I'll be a pirate with Johnny... he's my favorite booty.

Yes he is for sure a great piece of a--. I wa thinking art girls. Anyway, how did we get on this subject?

CBW's apparent raging hormones...

LOL my naughtyness sorry lady's ;)

Good enough. Thanks

Giggle I can't help it I'm a very naughty girl ask ben ;)

We can tell without asking Ben. How is that little secret treating you? Are you feeling the pressure yet?

LOL no pressure except I think I could do with a no2 giggle

I think Ben needs to come and "take care of you" if you know what I mean?

LOL he hasn't got the balls ppppfffftttttt

Oh, I am pretty sure he does. Hee hee. Get yourself together girl. And then maul him when he gets home!
