Mary Maniblow... Oh my GOSH! Go to your room!

Well I can't sleep!!
And I thought I'd be able to tonight...

Mag, you're my late nighter, if you come back around, let me know.

Present.

There's my guy!
Listening to coast to coast?

Yes. I have been since 1995!

John Farmer might be good. I don't believe in luck. Sounds like a scam to me. Go to her web site. Really WOOWOO!

LOL. I just tuned in.
How have you been fairing off today?

I'm GREAT! And you?
Art Bell started this show. His wife Ramona died and he we down the tubes for a while. Then he met a younger one and they just had a baby. He is on occasionally. Not enough for me. He is the master! I have heard shows with him that scared me sh!tless for days!

I missed everything before this last commercial.
I heard something about 911 then commercial.
I'll check out her sight...

Sometimes I believe in luck... depends on what "luck" is.

I think we set it all up. We just don't know how to make it come down that way, well enough to do it all the time.

I'm GREAT! And you?

That scared you sh!tless... it must have been intense!

I'm doing great too, except I've been trying to fall asleep for the last hour and cannot... but that's my life... it normal :)

I'm going to go listen to this segment. My Radio is in the living room, not in my office. I can't read and listen to the radio at the same time. Took me years to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. :)

He almost cried on the radio. Someone listening called the cops in Nevada where he lives and they came to the door while he was on the air. Thought he was going to end it all! I got misty eyed too!

Damn they sent they cops...
OK, go listen... see you in a bit. Hopefully:)

Yea. His radio station is in his house in Parughmph? Nevada. He was talking about how his wife had died in their motor home while they were on vacation the week before. Suddenly, you could hear an alarm going off. He excused himself and then came beck in a few moments and explained that the cops were outside at the gate pushing the intercomm button. After the next break he said that one of his listeners from, like, Alabama called and were very concerned! It was a trip! Anyone that is a die hard Coast fan, like me, loves Art Bell like he is family.

I think we set it all up. We just don't know how to make it come down that way, well enough to do it all the time.
Set luck up?
I ask because I feel, and you may think I'm totally nuts, but that power of the mind has a lot to do with luck and what you get in every aspect of life.

Same goes for bad luck... if you think negative... thats what you're going to get.

Don't think I buy the 911 conspirecy... what about you?

Exactly. We create our breaks. Good or not. You dominate thoughts shape your life.

Man, you know he had to be messed up if it had just happened a week earlier. Poor guy.

Ha! Someone on my same wave links:D

He was messed up like a soup sandwich!

Now it is all good.

This show is not really my cup of tea. I may go to bed and act like I am asleep, with one eye open and see if I can catch me a shadow person. If I can grab hold of it, I'll find out just what the heck they are doing here! :)

Can't get much musher than a soup sandwich...
He does sound good... think I heard a chuckle.

I was thinking, if you could stuff one in a pillow case and not let it out till it tells you everything... like how to build a perpetual motion machine or a time machine! My luck, I'd get one dummer than me. Like a shadow homeless guy looking for spare change.

If you get an answer, will you ask about the cat for me...
Saw that little bugger just a bit ago.

I lost the post before the last one.

Really! Can you coax it to you? Does it see you?

Mag, you're quite intriguing... I'm sure it will be observing you
For your mind... get everything out of him that you can!!

She's on. I'm going to listen to her for a bit I guess. If I don't like her.. off to bed. I will act like I am sleeping and keep one eye open. Id a Shadow person arrives, His but is mine!

Really!? Can you coax it to you? Does it see you?
It rubbed against my leg once while I was carrying laundry...
Didn't feel it, just saw it go to my leg like if it was going to rub against it like a real cat would.
Every other time, like tonight, it just runs away.
Probably can be described out of the corner of my eye.
I don't think I'm that in tune yet... wish I was... would probably have a lot of answers to a lot of things I want to know.

If I don't see you again, have a good night...
And if you catch one, make it tell all!!

If you meditate, try concentrating on it, or on cats and get your vibration to a level that it will feel attracted to you. Fear will prevent it though. Or, concentrate on virtual tuna. Maybe you will be over run by shadow cats. :) Don't take that serious. I just can't help myself. I read once about a guy that meditates on Dolphins and when he locks into their conscious level, he appoligizes for humans killing so many with gill nets. Who really knows? There is, after all, only one consciousness in the universe. That is a fact. We all just borrow a little.

I've been trying to get back into meditation.
I use to be awesome at it.
I got freaked out the last time I was able to and it has never been the same since.

Don't worry, I love your personality!

Good morning Kae, mag...
I love both your personalities!
Happy Sunday!
Has everyone reset the clocks?
Tailgating for the game this afternoon!

Good morning, Ken!
Glazed?? Hmm, you're not ready to wake up yet?

Not a really restful sleep I think, been up since 6:00 am

OH NO I'm so sorry - that's got to be rough.

Ouch I feel sorry for you, I have looked at a few of those recalled pizzas in the freezer, had to tell the daughter we should take them back, even if they aren't under that particular recall.

OH NO I'm so sorry - thats got to be rough.
Well that's what I'm guessing is causing me pain anyway, its my own fault really,

Hope you feel better albear.

I'm off everyone... must mop floors and clean toilets today...
And do a few loads of never ending laundry...

Hang in there J... it's all worth it.. you know that.

Yeah, I know it will be. But got to take a short break before memorizing Osteogenesis Imperfecta. House is empty till 7:30, I should be DONE by then. YAY!!

Sometimes 20 minutes isn't enough when going through this. Many times when I was in college and even now when preparing for a talk at seminars or with clients, I must just get up and move around. Sometimes taking a break for an hour or so, so that the crap can kind of settle in and I get refreshed a little.

But I have so much material to cover Stringer, doesn't seem like enough time in the day to cover it all. Ya know.

Sounds to me that the structural plan for the course is flawed. You know as well as I that craming doesn't help retention...

I've gotten to know you though... if anyone can be successful at this... you can.

No cramming doesn't help. You are absolutely right, but my schedule these past two weeks didn't allow for studying. Not making excuses, just telling the truth. Usually hubby steps up and takes care of things for me. But we've been opening a new store, he has had to be at work from 8 am till God knows when, sometimes he's coming home when I'm getting up... Kids have soccer games, cheerleading, two birthdays... Clinicals two days a week instead of one... Very good friend/family member in ICU...

It's just been never ending these past two weeks, next week will be a walk in the park, LOL

It's good that you can see the end (next week) still know that you can do it...

I am curious.. what type of retail store, is this the first one or do you have more?

Hmmm, the shop. We own a hunting/gun/sporting goods store. We have grown out of our little tine 1,500 square foot building and are moving into a 20,000 square foot building equipped with a 6 lane shooting range and custom gunsmithing, as well as classes...

The big move is this weekend and the end is nowhere in sight as the prime christmas season is on for this kind of thing.

Luckily I have a wonderful best friend and mother in law who are here to help take up the slack wherever they can.

Well, now, guess I'll get back to OI.

Oh, yeah, Albear, you beat me. My score was 253.

J... next time you are in front of a mirror... I want you to say...
"How the hell did you get to be soo damn cute"
Love you!

Off and going in about 30 minutes. Starting to get dark.

See you all soon. Bye for now.

Hi... How are you guys? Tonight has been so nice and sweet... Laundry is done, house is picked up... I feel lazy not having anythig to really get done... Goll!

Oh I'm having a wonderful night too.
Cleaned the house spotless today and sweet hubby is cooking a nice Italian dinner for me as we speak...

And they started playing Christmas music on the radio now, so we have that on too:D

OOOooooOOooooOooYummy...
I wonder where Tuscany is... I know she isn't on for the weekends, but it has been way too long since I have seen her...
Christmas music... WOW... I think it is November 3rd not December 3rd... Grrr, if I get started I won't stop so the decorations start coming out and so forth... I have to wait it out until Dec 1st... LMAO

Okay, I can't study any more. My brain is turning to mush.

Christmas music? Oh, I need some!!

I just took the Halloween ones down...
I too can't wait until all the Xmas stuff can come out...
I love this time of year!

Hi J... hang in there...

We have an easy listening station that plays Christmas music Nov.1 through the new year. Just love it.

I'm off to eat... be back in a bit

Hi J, you arein need of a break... for sure... sorry I can't help. Hugs...
AK, I uh used to love this time of year and I still do but the hussel with three families to visit is ridiculous... I would rather have a big party and who ever doesn't come, well, their loss I guess... Hugs good night sweets!

I'm hanging, but by a thin thread. LOL, I'll get through it as I always do... Just frustrated is all... too many things going on at once.

Go Pat's... For Cap'n... Woo Hoo!
I am going to make it an early night a bath and a movie...

You mean? I really needed this. I feel so much more happy!!

YbGSDkvh8B0

Oh geeze, how am I supposed to relax in a bath with that song in my mind? Oh man... I am going...

Lol. Maybe it's a girl warrior. Us girls are, after all, superior!! :)

Rank, what kinda work do ya do on a Sunday??

I do a lot with our horses and wash the vehicles! Outside ALL day long wiping the sweat off my brow :p

The Colt's had a very good game!
Their defense should not feel down about today! Awesome show!
Greater game than either team has seen in a while!

Yes, it was quite an enjoyable one, I have to say that!! :D

I do a lot with our horses and wash the vehicles!! Outside ALL day long wiping the sweat off my brow :p
I'd love that kind of job where the outcome is another creature happier for your attendance!

That's one job that I very much enjoy... makin' me horses happy! They love Sundays!

Hi everyone, how are you guys today?!

Just thought I would stop in and say hi.
I have been MIA for a while, I know.
My computer crashed at the end of August and we just got a new one last week.
Going to the library to pay bills online stinks bad enough - trying to catch up with everyone here is worse (no privacy)

So, Anyway, Hello to all my online friends, I HAVE MISSSED YOU!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... NowWhat, how are you?
Working still? I know all about the privacy thing... and I am at HOME! LOL
Awww, I have missed you sweet! How is the family? How are you?

Everything is really good. The job is good. It's easy work - but it is a balancing act. I never really realized what other families with 2 working parents go through.

My daughter is good at giving a guilt trip. "why do you have to go to work and not spend time with me.?"

Awwww... you know she loves you then. It is hard to have two parents work. I don't know how you ladies get everything done, I would be up way past bed time getting things done if I worked. Do you still like the job though? Or are you having second thoughts?

I do like the job. It is a nice change of pace. Being around other adults is nice.

I do have days where I have this overwhelming feeling of not liking people very much. I guess I am strange - but I ALWAYS say please, thank you, have a nice day.. etc... to people. The girl at the check out, the bagger or the dry cleaner. Anyone I come in contact with.
So many people out their have forgot their manners. It just amazes me. Then you get the people in that are a sweet as pie and you feel better about the human race. :)

You know I am having a problem and my little heart is having a hard time making a distinction between right and wrong...
As you all know I do daycare. I know this is a time of year that everyone seems to be broke (so to speak) but if I don't get paid, then I will be too! One ladies cell phone is shut off, has no heat right now. She said she will bring half the money today... and the rest on Friday... I know she is struggling. Dustin is gone and busy with football, I told her to come over with the girls and I will cook her a hot meal and at least she can be warm here... Oh dang, I told her that I have been where she is, I know how it is... my little heart was breaking for her but at the same time I feel so selfish for taking the only money she has... Ohhh man... I almost don't want to, but know that if I don't, my whole budget and planning will be off... that won't be good down the road! So help me out here lovely friends... PLEASE

Well, this is going to sound awful - but here goes.

You are not running a charity - you are running a business. And why? To provide for your family. So, you need to take your payment.
Now, if she is really hitting it hard, there are places that she can take her kids to that won't cost her anything. I know you don't want to lose the business, but if she can't pay you, are you losing anything?

Now, with that "business" out of the way, inviting her over for a warm meal is great. And we should always do that kind of thing if we can. Everyone hits the hard road sometimes. And allowing her to work out a payment plan is showing heart - because there are those out there that won't. Don't feel selfish for putting the needs of your family first.

Yea I know what you men, for example start... no I'm joking, don't hit me:D

Mornin albear... I think you are swell too... LOL
NowWhat, I really needed that, thanks. I don't mind feeding and helping people I really don't. But I do mind if three out of five parents tell me they can't pay yet or have to pay later... that just means they are going to stay like that till after Christmas... So I guess I need to rethink the arrangements...

One ladies cell phone is shut off, has no heat right now. She said she will bring half the money today....and the rest on Friday....I know she is struggling. Dustin is gone and busy with football, I told her to come over witht the girls and i will cook her a hot meal and at least she can be warm here.....Oh dang, I told her that i have been where she is, I know how it is......my little heart was breaking for her but at the same time I feel so selfish for taking the only money she has....Ohhh man....I almost don't want to, but know that if i don't, my whole budget and planning will be off....that won't be good down the road! So help me out here lovely friends...PLEASE

Start I don't know precisely what her financial problems are but if she is in dire need and her heat is off and she has children. Then please suggest social services to her, they have emergency help available for situations like this.
Stringer:)

I know Stringer, I have suggested help, she just started a divorce a while ago, and it all started crumbling from there... Something about her being paid under the table by her dad and what not, stops her from getting help. I don't know, I love her girls, and she is a good lady. I knew it the first day we met, but I feel I can only do so much and babysitting for free isn't one of them... sad but true.

I am trying to teach Max how to fart with his armpit... I can't even do it so I don't know why I am even trying! LMAO

Yes....I have wanted to learn this wonderful thing my whole life....Can you do it? albear can ya?
No, but for some reason I can make the same noise with my hands, so no need to stick my hands in my arm pits

HEY FIRMY WHERE ARE YOU??

Well, I will keep trying till i die......it will become my goal! LOL

It's a good point though I haven't seen her in a while

I understand.. 6 degrees... you have to take care of your own family first and foremost...

Yes, albear, I know she is off for a while but just a quick hello in here would do me some good... ;)
Stringer, I am going to do some re-thinking... I know I can come up with something... ;)

Maybe you could get her to pay in installments instead of all of it in one go

I am going to ask if that will help, she is going to come over and eat and hang out here tonight I think? But if she doesn't I will send Davy over with a big ole pot of hot soup... and maybe homemade garlic bread...
Now the mention of garlic bread has to pull Firmy out of where ever she is... LMAO!

Nobody can resist garlic bread, except maybe vampires but firmy isn't one... is she?

A good idea Albear, that may help.

But if she is having problems with even getting heat and food, it is probably a drastic situation.

Start, several things here; 1. If she is going through a divorce and she has the children then suggest to her that she should have her lawyer go to court and get emergency money from her husband. He is still responsible in the eyes of the courts. 2. Try to find out exactly what her situation presently is "getting paid under the table by her Dad." Even if she is, it is a different situation with family. Any money that she is getting from him, even if she is working for him, can be described as a gift from family and not considered income. Then she can get the seriously needed money from Social Services (Family Services). That is what they are there for.

Some more good ideas here

Sage advice! If you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of others!

true

some more good ideas here

This saddens my heart to hear about these situations, always has. Her husband, still is until the divorce, should be taking his responsibility here... this sucks. Is he only concerned about himself... possibly why this happened in the first place! I would definitely go after his as~ now. :mad: He will always have a responsibility for those children that HE brought into this world.he should step up, regardless of how he feels about her.:mad: :mad:

Just a quick hello to everyone.

Start, I'm sorry for your situation, but Your family comes first.
I don't know the lady,
But I think if someone was in a situation that resorted in essential heat being shut off,
They should be looking for assistance in other areas instead of stiffing the babysitter...

Honey you have a big huge heart, and that is a wonderful quality to have,
But let me just say that there are people who will use that to their advantage and to your disadvantage.
You are running a business, and business relationships should be kept separated from friendship relationships.
It's too easy to get stuck in their "feel sorry for me" guilt trips which I can already sense you're feeling.

Are you sure everything she's telling you is the truth... think about that...
Just the very little you explained sounds fishy to me...
No church or government assistance program is going to let a struggling mother go without heat...
And getting paid under the table?? puts her over the limit for assistance??
Like she reports it?? Isn't that the whole purpose of being paid under the table... so that you don't have to report it...

Just care a lot about you start and don't want to see anyone walking all over you dear... I'm not trying to be negative... Me loves Ya!

Nowwhat said it good:D you are not running a charity, you are running a business to provide for your family...

Okay, I missed a lot, but no time to go over it all.

Test is over. It was terrible!! I just knew I failed it. Need an 80% to pass...

I made a 90%

Woooooo Hoooooo

Good Job J!!

OMG, Kae, it was a really terrible test. Girls were walking out in tears. No, I wasn't one of those, but I was really sick to my stomach afterward. Now I just want to find out the 5 that I missed. Can't wait till Wednesday.

Now we are getting to stuff I DO know about. PREGNANCY!!

Oh boy, I bet seeing the tears wasn't a reassuring thing at the time.
You really put a lot of effort into knowing the material... So WOOOOOO HOOOOO for you!!

LOL. Pregnancy!! All right maybe this will be much easier section for you.
Might be some guys walking out of that one teary eyed:D

Congratulations, J! You are doing fantastic!
I like that doing a 90% inspires you to do even better!
Pregancy, huh? Have you talked to Rank lately?

I was wondering where the heck you've been all day. LOL

Gone... completely gone Ak... How are you sweet... thank you for the great advice back there... You are right. I am just going to collect and hope she can take care of things. Her hubby doesn't workk so he doesn't pay a thing... I don't really know the rest of the story except that I want her to be OK... I have food, and heat, she lives a house away... anytime she needs, she can come here... anyone who knows me knows they are always welcome, especially in these situations!

You're very kind.
I hope you don't feel bad about taking the money.
The husband needs to get a job if they are that in need.
Obviously something is going on over there if the mother cannot leave her children with their father (who doesn't work) while she does...
You're a good woman.

Have any idea where firm went?

She is taking a break for a bit... busy lady you know!

Thanks Ak, you are too. I have to say that he spends all of his time with the kids on his days, they are going through a divorce... he just isn't responsible...
She is stuck in a bad and wrong position, but who am I? You know, I can't help as much as I would want, I have told her time and time again to get some help... I am going to have her for dinner tomorrow, and tell her she just has to do it! So, anyway, I am full, tired and ready for a bath... :rolleyes:

A bath sounds nice... a bubble one...

Maybe you'll get a good rest tonight since you worked so hard today.

Things have been crazy! How are you start?

Sick... my nose is red, other than that I am emotional and ready to have it out with myself! LMAO

Things have been crazy!! How are you start?
What have you been doing sweet? You haven't gone camping without me have you?;)

Poor baby! Do you need some tea and a good massage?

What has been going on? I can't read everything I would be gone for another week or so.

What have you been doing sweet? You haven't gone camping without me have you?;)


I have been everywhere! I swear things are crazy. In the last week here is my life:

Grades due at school (not that bad)
Updates on state paperwork for my kids due (ok pretty bad)
My mom had major surgery (she is doing fine)
My student teacher started (crazy right now... will get better by next week) I really like her so that is OK.
No camping... camper is all winterized

How are the kids?

Hi Tuscany, glad you're back

Start, take care of yourself... take up Tuscany's offer.

Glad you mama is good... really glad!
You have been busy sweet.
No need to go back... just feeling emotional...
I know the camper is winterized, I just wish it weren't...
Kids are as sweet as pie! Doing good and I love them with all my heart...
Stringer, thanks...

I am soooo not ready for winter!!
Emotional is good... it makes us realize who we are.

Hello Tus, Glad to see you back
J Congrats.

Hey JH I read that you are all home nice and safe. Glad to hear it!!
Congrats J

Thanks Tus... you are right.

I think you might need to go out and shop for something pink and black.

You are sooooo right sweet... ;)

Thank you Tus, It was a long ride and no sleep for 2 days. It had to be done. Lol

The ride got a little bit scary near the end of the trip, weather and bunch of idiot truck drivers but anyway.

Anything new with anybody, sorry but do not really have the time to catch up on everything. Not meaning to be rude.

Not rude Joe... just glad to see you guys made that long drive safely! Hugs to the whole gosh darn family!

Hey guys!!

I need to blow off some steam... It fires me up when people give me undeserved reddies, lmao... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh :p

Oh Joe we understand. Ok I am off again. Hopefully I can check in again tomorrow.

Sorry for the quick visit. Feel better Start!!
