Yep the gates still open and we still haven't found the key, nothing changes really just to busy to be looking for it.

SMOBY Winnie the Pooh Activity Tree House (http://shop.d2leisuregroup.co.uk/product37390265catno480265.html)

Just had to share now I'm outa here xx

Oh, how sweet... I hope it gives you hours of enjoyment, and her toooo... Nice pick Ben..

Adorable.

Hi! I found it too!

Al, I have to tell you, I talked like a pirate to the best of my abilities this whole weekend, my kids think I have completely lost it... maybe I have... maybe they just don't know the real meaning of COOL...

Lol... I don't know whether its cool anywhere but here and on talk like a pirate day... lol... but it sure is fun. I went home speaking it and my hubby just chimed right in... lol.. everyone should grab hold of their inner pirate every once and while.. lol.

Yay! Synn is here! Great news on the interview, by the way, I wish you all the luck I can muster..

Hehehehehehe I thought the kitchen was cool too millie really loves pooh and tigger and we already have enough ideas for her birthday in a few weeks so I thought we could buy it now and put it away for christmas I need to start thinking about gifts etc so I'm not panick buying later on.

Good morning ladies. CBW I hope you are feeling better today.

Woo Hoo, clinicals start this week, so the schedule is down to only 2 days a week on campus.

Don't really know how I'm feeling to be honest I just need a couple of days rest no running around but we all know that will never happen.

So where will you be going for clinicals??

I'll be going all over West Tennessee for clinicals. One week at one hospital, another week at another hospital. I believe there are 5 different hospitals this semester. I'll be doing labor and delivery for the next two weeks, then NICU, postpartum care, health departments, Cystic Fibrosis centers... you name it, I got to do it. LOL

I finally will not be bathing geriatric patients :D .

Then add 3 hours of studying for every hour in class. I need to study fetal circulation today. Just taking a break while having breakfast.

Oh, I'm learning about heart problems like Millie's on Wednesday. :p

YAY J! Sounds fun. Hope you are all wonderful. Im stressed to the max at work, no one wants my work.. lol... figures..

Al, when do you start the new job? Or is this it?

No I'm still at the old place... I leave here on the 21st, and start the new one on the 25th. Im stressed because they won't hire someone to replace me and no one wants to take up my work... im thinking of just levaing my cube exactly as it is on the 21, and letting them mess with it. I tried... lol..

I would, Al. What are they going to do? Fire you?

Heheh true...

Just prettend you are having a moment of blondeness lol

Wow, I am sitting here studying how fertilization occurs and found the most interesting online movie. It is actually amazing.

The show through a microscope EVERYTHING from ejaculation to ovulation and conception. It's REAL, OMG real I tell you. This is too cool.

Now I am going to to watch what happens during the first two weeks after conception. I mean I have seen this before, but never quite this real!

If any of you want to check it out, here is the link.

NOVA Online | Life's Greatest Miracle | Watch the Program Here (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/program.html)

Click on the Egg's Journey

Wow. Its not computer animated or anything? I can't watch at work, but will defintely watchi it tonight...

No, it's not animated at all. Well, only 5 or 10 seconds has been animated.

I'm off to watch the next portion called "The Embryo Takes Shape"

It is utterly fascinating!!

I'm excited...

Oh, just wait!!

Just know you have something to look forward to this afternoon. I can't stress enough how fascinating it is. Here I was studying fetal circulation and how the fetal heart works before, during, and after birth, and I got caught up in this film.

It's so coooool!!

J_9 if you like stuff like that have you seen this yet?

Studio Daily Video Player (http://aimediaserver.com/studiodaily/videoplayer/?src=harvard/harvard.swf&width=640&height=520)

It's the inner workings of the cell, a slightly smaller scale than the other films so it is CGI but it's fantastic, play it with the sound on because the soundtrack is really good too, fits perfectly.

Wow, that is TOOOOO COOOOL

I love it! The soundtrack is just awesome with it too! Thanks.

I love stuff like this. I have to learn it for school, and this really helps me learn it better.

I think it is amazing how the foetal heart goes through all the stages of evolution of the heart running through the fish, frog then turtle like appearances. That's where the congenital hole in the heart derives from is it not? Isn't it wear the heart doesn't seal up properly to become the familiar four chambers?

I love that animation, brings what is usually a very abstract subject to life

Actually the fetal heart flows opposite of ours until negative pressure occurs during birth. That is when the foramen ovale closes to become the ligamentum venosum.

If the foramen oval does not close completely then we have the congenital anomalies. I can't get too deep into that yet. That lecture is on Wednesday I believe, or possibly next Monday.

Interesting... if it wasn't for all the bodily fluid goop, I would love medicine I think... sigh.

I am done... someone wheel me home... im so tired now.

Sigh I love ty I'm watching a extreame makeover live drewl...

LOL, did you hear he recently got busted drinking and driving?

Was he who we were just speaking with? They were either drunk or drugged... lol..

Poor thing, hope she gets better soon. Im taking off today to get Connor to the dr. for a 4year old checkup, then off to the portrait studio for pics...

Aaaaaaawwwwwww family pictures are lovely.

She will get more meds and a hospital referral this time :(

Oh no, a hospital referral? Does that mean she will have to admitted?

We aren't getting a family shot until Jack arrives, its just Connor today, I have his picture taken once a year after his birthday to show his growth :) Ill have pictures to post this afternoon. :)

Ohhhhh... coffee... Cap'n Crunch Al? CAP'N CRUNCH?? Love it. I have never been good at Pics... we are always taking them constantly so I say what the H---! CBW, Millie needs to go to the hospital sweet? What? Her ear isn't better yet?

I'm not really good either... I forgot to schedule a portrait appointment last year, so all I have is a regular shot in his scrapbook... lol

They will just have it checked by and ent dr and go from there because if it keeps rupturing like it is she will end up def.

Poor Millie. I hope she gets on the road to mend soon.

Poor Millie. I hope she gets on the road to mend soon.

Me too a healthy two year old is hard work but a sick one is a nightmare lol how are you hunny??

Doing great. School has started again so I am getting back into the swing of things. I love my kids this year, although things are a bit hectic right now. Luckily I have lunch at a normal hour (now) instead of at 10am like in years past.

I assume the kitchen is done? How are you feeling?

Kitchens done and looks lovely sure needed doing, I'm feeling perminantly tierd I could happily sleep this pregnancy away lol.

It must make a hell of a difference to you actually liking your students ;)

I know... typically I hate them all... you know me... spreadin the hate.

I just have some of the cutest little ones ever!! One has a cat named Jackson Brown... and comes in every day with new pictures and stories about how crazy JAckson Brown is. Too cute.

Of course the real Tuscany is doing great too... hates the fact that I am back in school but what are you going to do?

HAHAHAHAHAHA what age group are they I've forgotton?

This year it is different. I teach kids ranging in age from 12-16, With it being a school for kids who are LD classes are more based on ability than grade level.

What is your due date?

My due date is 25th jan but it could be any time after nov with my past record lol.

We are shooting toward Jan 25th sweet... :)

I won't be happy till I reach 32 weeks start and that's a long way away... anything can happen.

January seems so far away... but it will be here before you know it!

I will be pulling for you and the 25th!

You have every reason to worry.. I will be wishing for the 25th stilll CBW... I am smiling for you and wish you safe feelings with this pregnancy... the 25th... yes!

I am so sorry to hear Millie is still feeling poorly. That has got to be bloody awful for her, and you as well.

Tomorrow I am officially and old woman. My baby turns 21.

I'll be in labor & delivery at the hospital tomorrow, hope I get to deliver some babies!

Oh, I wish I could do that... I cuold deliver... I could... I remember with my last little Max, I am the silent and strong type to have a baby... No meds... got a job get it done clean and fast... any way... I was right in the middle of labor... for goodness sakes I can hear the other lady in the next room... I told Dustin... I don't need you... go help her, she is killing me... LOL He almost did, he knew I would be fine... Poor lady so long and hard for her... Never had it been over 7 hours for me after four kids I could still have another, that was my favorite part... pushing myself to see what I could take... I hope you have an awsome experience with the births... that has to be so cool...

Start... you really are the Hippo.
Sending Dustin to help another birth, poor chap ;)



I wonder though, how can birthing be clean?!

Aww I forgot about beinga Hippo... thanks...

Ok fb explain the hippo thing lol I'm hearing the hippo song giggle...

FM thinks I am the Hippo on Madagascar... the movie... silly girl FM, that is what she is..

Ok you still have to explain I'm kind of thinking that it isn't very complementry to be called a hippo lol but I'm guessing the hippo in question is all cute and cuddley??
Have you ever heard the hippo song??

Definitely not the Hippo song, would that be :"In the jungle"?

The Hippo in Madagascar is so totally Start, taking charge.(psst and sometimes ordering people around;)) and surely cute and womanly.

NO NO this song is sooooooo COOL lol

KtqIM_bPTws

I wonder though, how can birthing be clean??!!

How do you mean? It isn't clean.

Oh the Hippo song. LMAO

Uh, nobody really wants a hippo for christmas do they? Except maybe and alligator...
You silly CBW... If I could just have a butt like a hippo... LOL

Over and done with "clean" no problems just clean and simple... go Start go... DONE! Now let me go home and enjoy...

LOL sing it lady's,. I want a hippotimus for christmas...

I can't get it out of my mind sweet... stop!!
EDIT::: thanks for the merge...

LOL its soooooo catchy its wonderful my friend tess heard it a few years ago while she was in a store at christmas and we have sang it ever since giggle

I hope you hear another song soon... LOL... I have to say, the kids were eating lunch, they loved it when I said you want to see this... they all just loved it... Kinda like a little gift, their smiles... he he

Ooooooooooooooo have they never seen the lions and tigers of kenya lol??

I love that song... Connor loves it almost as much as "I farted on Santas lap"

Weebls Stuff - Kenya (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/kenya/)

One of the best sites to come outa the uk that lol it cracks me up.

I almost fell over at the zebra part.. LOL... but... why would you need a snorkel in Kenya?

Who knows lol ours is not to reason why ;)

I like the badgers better than Kenya.

Badgers??
Where?

We don't need no stinkin badgers!

Just click toons Al lol

Morning all!

Hey Sweety are you ready for another exciting day??

Yawn - morning all... im still recovering from yesterday.

I'm sick as a dog with a sinus infection - snort - ug - sigh

Oh no! You poor dear... You need some of my chicken tortilla soup, it will get your nose cleared out in no time! ;)

Morning Al xx

Morning... Ive totally damamged my son now, he keeps asking for the frog... LOL.. How are you and yours?

Giggle excellent just be worried when your blender goes missing from the kitchen ;)

Just put millie down for her nap I'm going to follow too soon.

Lol the boys broke it the other night, so I'm safe for now... giggle... rest well!

Ohhh blenders... I could use a Rum Runner... is it really only 9:10?

Yummy milkshakes...

I'm sick as a dog with a sinus infection - snort - ug - sigh

I've been suffering from that for 3 weeks now. I can totally appreciate where you are coming from Em.

Frogs? Blenders? Rum Runners?

After last night I could use a Rum Runner, but don't think I'll be too good in the hospital this afternoon if I indulge.

I think that I might be frowned upon if I was drinking a rum runner while I taught.

Hey J- thanks for the back up with the dog situation last night.

No problem Tuscany!! I am not an advocate of breeding when we have so many lost and lonely dogs in shelters who need good homes. Let's take care of the dogs we have before breeding any more.

When we got Lou (purebreed basset hound), a neighbor offered her basset as a stud and said they would make beautiful puppies together. Hubby ran to the phone, called the vet, and got her fixed within the week. LOL

What is better than a tipsy nurse!! Lol... unless she's working on me... lol... sounds like something from scrubs...

BTW - J, I found a great nurse pic... naughty!
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/LPG/51501~Nurse-Bettie-Posters.jpg

Oh, great pic Al!!

I'll stay away from the drink before clinicals. I'm not much of a drinker anyway. After last night though I could really use some, but I'll refrain. LOL

I wish I could have a jack and coke right about now...

When I drink I like Captain Morgan & Coke with a lime :p

Oooh I love a good cap'n and coke.. yum!

I am a big vodka tonic girl... when I drink.

NO NO this song is sooooooo COOL lol

KtqIM_bPTws
This is absolutely gorgeous!

My BF came in while I was watching, and he watched with me. He asked how I managed to get myself on the internet.. We make fun of my weight gain..

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_12_103.gifHere's one of my profile shots...

CBW I love the Kenya song!

I am going Nucking Futz here!!

That abortion post is really killing me!!

Sorry, had to rant.

J, I can see why...

I know, I have been watching it carefully, trying to keep my mouth closed... very hard...

I sit here shaking that people have the audacity to say some things when they have never been in another's shoes.

Yes, that is true... remember though some people haven't been in your shoes and that is why they JUST DON'T KNOW! I know many people that have gone through with an abortion, some for health reasons, some not...
They taught me a great lesson... ALL of them..

I just try my hardest not to judge if I can... but when they start throwing religion in on issues like this it gets my blood pumping... I can't get through to them. It's double the judgement... I have a lot of respect for all you ladies out there who know who you are who have dealt with these issues and have to listen to some of the stupidity out on these threads daily... you're all in my heart.

Oh I am missing that post... which one is it...

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-family-people/really-fair-if-so-who-123187-7.html#post610654

MMMMMMMMM very strong feelings there I'm not quite sure how anyone can actually comment if they have never been there especially men.

Helping friends and being there for them during this time has brought me to have an opinion on this... that is how I can comment on it.. many friends... mostly high school, long ago, but some in my adult years as well.

Start if you wish to talk to me in that tone of voice I suggest you do it in pm, you may have an opinion but still I stand by my point you haven't actually been in those shoes watching from the side line isn't the same as feeling it that I can assure you I'm not going to bring my personal experience into it because its none of anyone's business and it's a long time buried.

I am sorry CBW, no tone of voice was intended.. sorry sweet.

No worries forget it, did you read that report I just sent you?

I'm sorry I started this whole thing. But I got really upset as I DO have personal experience. I took a long hot bubble bath, had a little cry, and feel much better now.

Aww J, that sounds like a good thing..
CBW, I did just read it... thanks. I hadn't an idea that they could put fake crap in there...

I do to J but I refuse to talk about it here its certainly a part of my life that's well and truly shut for discussion.
What sort of bubbles did you have?? Not long now till your first day back in clinicals are you excited?

Aww J, that sounds like a good thing..
CBW, I did just read it...thanks. I hadn't an idea that they could put fake crap in there...

Quite shocking isn't it, Yas trades in all the post stuff so I sure trust her judgement but its made me very aware of what I'm buying that's for sure.

You love your EBAY... I have come to find that out. I love it too, we sold and I probably spent a lot of money that came in just buying things on there... I had to take a break... It was hard to stop..

Im currently starting a shop with all my rubber ducks, I have child tables and chairs and lots of other stuff I have bought in bulk I can make a decent profit on I need the money to buy christmas pressent lol

Wow I just read that abortion thread. Holy cow! Talk about opinions. I can't post anything right now... but much love J

Rubber Ducks?

Yeah I have 145 rubber ducks to sale from nurses to cats giggle there fun :D

I want a nursie rubber duckie!!

Thanks Tuscany, I appreciate you.

Now now young lady what did your mummy say about I want doesn't get ;) you will just have to wait and see what goes into your ickle package won't you lol

Oh My Goodness Who Broke The Site??

What?

Rubber ducks! We have someone come to school to sell things (books, decorations, useless things that you can't live without) at a discount rate.

This month they have "Flashy Quackers." Rubber ducks that when you rub their underside they flash. Boy the teachers are going crazy with that.

Too cute... I want one now...

My favorite is the sheep puppet that sings that yodelling song from The Sound of Music... I can't think of the name now...

Now now young lady what did your mummy say about i want doesnt get ;) you will just have to wait and see what goes into your ickle package wont you lol

Yes ma'am :o

Good Luck today j and I hope you get to see a few baby's come into the world before the clock strikes midnight xxx

LUCKY LADY! Welcome babies! Welcome!

The clock is ticking down. LOL

Just waiting for my carpool to arrive.

I hope I get to see a bunch of babies. My son told me that since it's his 21st today that I have to persuade the parents of the first boy I see born to name them after him. LOL

Hehehehehehe funn your going to have a cracking night

cracking

LMAO, was the pun intended? :p

Babies!! I love babies. Have fun J. And hey when I finally get pregnant I might have to fly you my way to be my nurse...

I'd just love that Tuscany!! Hold off till I get my license though. K?

Hehehehehehe shame you can't be here to help theo into the world...

Man I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get on here...

But, it gave me time to scan the new pics in...

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d732b3127ccebbcdef30a12d00000026100AcNmrRmzZNm Ng

I may be biased, but I think he is the most handsome 4 year old around :D... He did so well for me, esp. after having 5 shots and a finger prick..

Oh, I would give anything in the world to come to you when Theo is making his welcome to the world. You know I would!!

Remember, your coming to help keep me good and "happy" when Jack is coming too... lol. ;) You will be one busy nurse with all us here. :D

OMG, what a cute kid!

Thanks ;) I haven't had his pic professionally done since he was two. I was long overdue... im so happy they came out well. We had such a busy day yesterday, I was afraid he wouldn't be in the mood to take good pics.

He is just beautiful! What a smile

He was a good boy... he looks great and happy... How cute Al...

man I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get on here...

but, it gave me time to scan the new pics in...

I may be biased, but I think he is the most handsome 4 year old around :D...He did so well for me, esp. after having 5 shots and a finger prick..

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! The warmth you must feel when he smiles at you like that... Nobody can ever take that away..

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_15.gif

Oh boy he is a hansom wee man

Great looking kid!

I want an ickle package too!

J - I promise to kick some butt for you. Get the first girl tonight named Synnen, hmm?

And you have to be here if little Jude ever decides to become reality, too!

I have my work cut out for me I think... LOL...

Anyone up for some croquet in the garden today? Im bored, and antsy...

Synnen - I love the name Jude.. beautiful!

Jude will be the middle name, male or female, if we ever get pregnant.

Boy will be Lannister, and a girl will be Aviendha.

But... St. Jude is the patron saint of the impossible, which is about how we feel getting pregnant is lately.

but...St. Jude is the patron saint of the impossible, which is about how we feel getting pregnant is lately.


Tell me about it! Even camping doesn't work!

Great names Synnen!

Thanks! We've only had 11 years to come up with them!

Jude will be the middle name, male or female, if we ever get pregnant.

Boy will be Lannister, and a girl will be Aviendha.

but...St. Jude is the patron saint of the impossible, which is about how we feel getting pregnant is lately.

I love them both! I wish I had words to help make it easier for you, but Im sure there are none.

I've gotten to the point where I have accepted that it will not happen without medical intervention. And medical intervention would cost as much as a down payment on a house, so... probably not going to happen anytime soon.

And unfortunately, I'm in the weird position where adoption is just NOT an option for me.

Luckily, I have nieces and nephews!

:) You are a wonderful, strong person.

Nah... I've got "sisters" like you to hold me up, is all.

I sometimes prefer the "sisters from other misters" to my natural ones... LOL.. at least most of you gals will give it to me straight :)

I can't stand my biological sister.

I'd rather have you ANY day of the week.

PS... I'll give my address to anyone that will send me wallets of their kids in Christmas cards this year ;)

Great looking kid!!

I want an ickle package too!

J - I promise to kick some butt for you. Get the first girl tonight named Synnen, hmm?

And you have to be here if little Jude ever decides to become reality, too!

You want or you would like lol

I would pretty please like an ickle package, ma'am.

We should have a secret garden secret santa! :D

Omg... I tried to post that same idea earlier, and the site kaboomed on me!

Lol must have been why I couldn't login after lunch...

I would pretty please like an ickle package, ma'am.

We shall see you have to be a good good girl ppppffffttttt she says to a women that is called syn lol

Oh, I can be very good.

Step over here in the pudding, and I'll SHOW you how good!

OMG, I had the most amazing day of my entire life!! Here it is 12:30 and I am still so pumped!!

Due to HIPPA laws I cannot go into any detail, except for the fact that I saw two vag births, a C-Section and an emergency C-Section.

WOW!!

Hehehehehehehe I knew you would have a good night :D

Boy after a long nights sleep I come back and that doggie chick has slapped me with more reddies. Irresponsible dog ownership makes me crazy!

I got your back Tuscany!!

Sounds like someone needs a warning J or should I say there butt kicking...

What a morning! Thank God it is Friday!

How is everyone?

Ill just be glad when ben gets home I'm really tierd I hate it when millie wakes at 6am lol

Warning will do!!

OMG, how do I function on only 4 hours of sleep? I was so wired last night I didn't get to sleep till 3 am.

I'm a sleeper, 8 hours a night is a necessity for me.

I'm COLD!

It's 45 freaking degrees out this morning!

LOL I love the winter the leaves are starting to fall here its so lovely.

J can you not go back to bed when the kids have gone to school??

I hate the winter. I hate feeling cold. And no one will let me just hibernate the winter away!

I am with your Synnen, winter is to cold for me.
Hibernation... sleep... a good book... a crackling fire... chocolate chip cookies... now that is a good winter.



Hey in the news in my hometown... a daycare provider was caught giving children benadryl in their bottles to make them sleep. She was not caught until one of the ladies that worked for her came forward. Can you imagine?

OOOOOOOO I like the snuggly aspect of winter hehehehe

Tuscany, that really sucks! That woman should be prosecuted to the max!!

Oh, how I LOVE winter. Snow, a roaring fire, some homemade soup and some football!! Too bad we don't get winter where we live. Boo Hoo

CBW, Rae is at home sick today and I have hours of paperwork to do. Care plans and stuff take a VERY long time to do if I want to get them right.

I guess it is one way to keep them quiet.
J- I will change locals with you for the month of Feb. if you want.
Poor Rae... are you making her chicken soup?

How did things go Labor day weekend?

Ooooh! I'll switch with you for January, then, Janine!

And you can have winter, and I can have respite!

Oh... poor babies... I give that to Jett and he gets comepletely whipped... Poor kids.
Hey J and Al, Monday we (I) started Jett on a new diet... no more juice and no more Red dye... I have come to find out that my house is really bad for the poor guy if all this turns out right... Poor sweety.. He really is doing good about it, but I haven't seen a change in behavior yet... maybe just a little but I think it is because of school starting... Ok...
Good morning ladies...

Morning!

My friend swears that red dye is what sets her son off. She does not let him have the fruit snacks things or red anything.

OMG, I heard it the other day on our local morning radio program!!

Now, that is a TRUE blond!!

I hope it works... I was mostly surprised to see him cooperate even when the other kids can have what he wants... he looks for something els like a good boy.. no fights! I think he is Grand...

He is adorable. That grin says it all doesn't it!

Yes, he has more power over me than anyone in the whole world... and runs with it... little poop... he told his teacher that he was going to count how many times she has to tap him to stay still for circle time... only two.. he was proud.. I am chuckling to myself cause it usually is four or five... He is a good boy.. no doubt..

How cute!

Thanks... I have three more of those... they all have their sweet spots!
Good morning everyone! Ahhh...

I wish I could teach my daughter how to smile for the camera. She always looks more like she is extremely uncomfortable. The good ones I have are ones where she doesn't realize she is being photographed. Or, if by chance she is smiling pretty her eyes are shut or the light reflects off her glasses.

I was like your daughter, too... I don't have very many good pics from when I was a kid.

Heck, I STILL have problems relaxing and just smiling for the camera!

He he... I have had my share of those pics...
Pictures can be great, but there are some that I think whoaaoooaaooaa... Start what the heck? LOL

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning all... well almost noon here... I had a doc. appt. today, so I got to sleep in a bit, evrything looks great, great blood pressure, measuring right, etc... although I gained 10 lbs in 6 weeks!! :eek: my doc assured me its fine, but I mean, really... what have I been eating..

J- Im excited your night went so well, what an adventure, must have been so fun

Start - He is beautiful!

CBW - hope your getting a nap in :)

Twins aren't a concern are they, Al? :eek:

Lol no I'm right on weight and fundal height wise, and the u/s and dopppler only show one :D, but it was just a drastic amount in such a short time.. lol.. guess I need to start those prenatal water arobics I've been thinking of... LOL.

Oh good Al... that is OK, I gained 60 pounds with Jett... I was skinny as a rail and it all came right off as soon as he got out... a little flabby still but hey... oh well...
So glad you are healthy...
IF I LOOK BACK... I think I would be able to see lot's a stuff that you ate... you even posted it! LOL

Giggle... I like my food... and so does Jack... esp with CBW tempting me with sweeties...

Glad to hear that things are progressing nicely Al

Her and her chocolate even gets to mee... I do have a hershey almond bar in my purse... 4 days now... can you believe it...

Lol.. that would have lasted all of 5 minutes here... but not the almonds, yuck!

Davy bought it for me and told me not to share, that it was for me and only me... she is sweet. I think I hold on to it cause I like that she bought it for me... her won money and love..
