I hope this is OK for me to post a continuation.

Curlyben, you are just so on to of things, dear. Hope you and the family are doing great.

Lots of Virtual Hugs to all of my friends AMHD - that means all of you!

As you ask so nicely Cheery, for you, anything ;)

Ah, I found you, you cannot hide! Nice place you've got here.

I see Curlyben is here to make sure we behave. Darnit, does that mean I actually have to behave? ;)

I'm always around, so you had better be on your best behaviour.

Thanks Curly. You know us, we will try our best to behave, honest.

Did I do something wrong when installing IE8, I cannot use the font color feature here, nore change the fonts... What the heck am I doing wrong? Even the little smileys in the grey box are in a circle instead of lines up.. Maybe I should just junk this laptop with german Vista on it...

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_8_14.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Can't help you there Chery, I'm just happy I know how to use the internet and emal. ;)

Curlyben, I do try, really I do. :)

Cheery, I believe that you can make IE8 emulate IE7, but don't ask me how as I try to avoid Internet Exploder if at all possible.

Hi Chery, this is great, and thank you;)

I use Firefox, Its SOOO MUCh better

Firefox, sounds like a really cool name for a cat. Sorry, not my forte. ;)

I really need to install Firefox on this new puter too, I forgot, how could I?
Welp, even with the sun screen, I am a crispy start. I should have re-aplied. Oh well, nothing like a good base, huh? The pool is great and the kids really loved it! We got the AC started and now it's summer! ;)

Thank you Chery, Had no idea that you continued it along. Hopefully everybody will be able to find it.

Cheery, I believe that you can make IE8 emulate IE7, but don't ask me how as I try to avoid Internet Exploder if at all possible.

Guess what Curley... I just loaded Firefox on here and got all my old usefull features back without all the hassle.

I also tried to uninstall Internet Explorer, but couldn't, so am using the IE7 Emulation button to get to my pay tv site's tv guide. The TV guide site was not working today, but maybe it was just having problems, so I will try again and if it does work with Firefox, I will use it exclusively.

Wow, I just love this! It's only 04:04 in the morning, and I've only been up since 07:00 yesterday, so I might actually get some sleep now and rest up for the weekend to see my grandson.

Just had to try out the colors because they did not work with IE8 - I thought it was Java at first, but it wasn't. Thank Goodness!

Night,Night all - I'm so glad all is functioning well again..

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_6_20.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE) Gosh, I think I need a little Visine now.....

Firefox is the best. Would never ever ever ever go back to IE.

Knock Knock :)

Thank you Chery, Had no idea that you continued it along. Hopefully everybody will be able to find it.

(;

Hi dear, I'm sure they'll find us, if not we'll send off invites again.
Curley found us, so it wasn't that hard.

Hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!

... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Goodness... ;) I suppose I will do that this weekend and get it all sorted. THis is the hardest system to deal with pictures, I can save them but anything else like loading here ( my yummy bread pics) lol and emailing them, this windows vista is great besides that. Gosh..
I suppose we should direct everyone to this thread, huh?

Yeah you found it Rp. Uhm, I had no idea. I am going to try to notify everybody. Hee Hee.
How are you doing Start, Rp, Chery, Guy, CurlyBen,

Great Joe, thanks, and you?
Rp... Hello Sunshine
Nighty night Chery, sweet dreams and sleep hard!;)

Well as expected... you? Hiya everyone :) Wanted to make sure I was in the right room, lol

Yup, this is it RP, you are amongst friends. :)

:) Thanks Alty!!

I am procrastinating.

See JH... this thread is easy to find by those who want to get here and share with us. It didn't take long for all our friends to get here either. I bet this will be filled a lot more by the end of Friday evening.

Too bad this is not a scratch'n'sniff site cause I sure would love to smell some of Start's fresh baked bread now. Working on computers makes me forget to eat, take my medicine, not to mention getting some sleep until I have the darned thing mastered.

I've been trying to settle down and rest for a while now, but I'm so wired now that I don't think I can close my 'road mapped' eyes now.

Will one of you sing me a lullaby, please!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_165_6.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)I get silly when over-tired.

Oh goodness Chery you are so funny. Close your eyes darlin' it will feel good... but please go pee, eat, take your meds and get a blankie first;)

Oh Crap Chery... you reminded me that I forgot to eat today... coffee sure does make you feel full, lol

I will say a prayer for you. If that is okay. I can not sing. You will need ear plugs if I do. Lol

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. To watch me through all of the night, and wake me up with the morning light. Amen.

Forgot to eat, how can you forget that, Starty mentions food every second post, it's impossible to forget to eat. (you know I'm kidding Starty pants, right?) :);)

Hi Alty! Ya I know
Uhhh Joe, that actually sounded kind of nice... ;)

I will say a prayer for you. If that is okay. I can not sing. You will need ear plugs if I do. lol

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. To watch me through out all of the night, and wake me up with the morning light. Amen.


My favorite prayer.

Over the teeth and past the gums, look out stomach, here it comes. Amen.

I grew up in a very happy go lucky household. ;)

Alty, lol.

Start, that is the prayer I say to Little cheeks whenever I am the one putting him to bed. It is a lot better then the prayer I grew up with. SCARY PRAYERS.

(;

Alty you are funny!
Joe, I understand, I would be scared to... Little Cheeks doesn't have to worry that is for sure! ;)

HERE:D

It feels like I haven't seen you all in sooo long.

Hello and everyone have a good night, a great Friday and a super weekend!

Did you push the mashed taters through your teeth too Alty? Lmao

Okay, you'll all be surprised to hear this, but I say a prayer with my kids every night. It's the same prayer I've been saying since, I can't remember when. I cannot go to sleep unless I say this prayer. I have also added on to it, to include my family, my friends, my pets etc. it used to take a minute, now it takes around 10, but I have allot of people that I care about, so, well, you know. I'd tell you the prayer, but it's in German. :)

HERE:D

It feels like I haven't seen you all in sooo long.

Hello and everyone have a good night, a great Friday and a super weekend!
OMGoodness... :D HI!!

did you push the mashed taters through your teeth too Alty? lmao

Dang, how did you know? Really, too much of my life story is on this site. I might as well write my biography and get it over with. LMAO. :)

Oh cool, can you tell me the prayer in German or write it down??

Heehee... just reminds me of the sayings and stuff we used to do as kids... you know the good ol beans song? Lolololol

I'll PM it to you Joe. Remember, my german is getting a bit rusty, so bear with me, okay?

AAhhhh so here you all are , were you trying to hide??

When Jaime was a baby, I made up my own 2d verse to Hushabye Baby,

Hushabye Jaime, don't you cry.
Mommie will wipe the tears from your eyes.
Then she will hold and rock you to sleep
And pray that the engels, their watch will keep.

Now I sing it to Alex with his name and he likes it too.

If you want to send me a prayer instead of a song, that's find too... I do feel the good vibes either way - and I thank you for them.

Check out how cool Alex looks in the Pictures of our Members thread... he's such a showoff when I get my camera out.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_18_103.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

OMGoodness.......:D HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi start, Hope to talk to you soon sweet friend :)

Night night

Hi Chery
I saw those pictures , they were great and you look so happy :)

M, you found us, I'm glad. :)

Ak, Happy you found us too. I need to get off my butt and start notifying but then Chery is right. Everybody will find it soon enough. Hello Friend.

Chery... great pics, as always

Kae... wow it's been forever! You should visit more often (like I have room to talk... I know :))

Glad I got to see you peeps... gotta get little one tucked in. Hope everyone has a good night (day to some ;) )

Hi you Friend!
Night AK... ;)
Chery I loved the pics I always click on that thread when someone posts on it! I always hope there are new pics... Friend that means you too lol
Uhhh nope don't know that song sweet Sunshine, sorry

Hey Joe , seems we keep jumping between rooms , glad I found you all here though.

Starty I thought you'd seen my pic , I posted it on another thread and it was when I was just a pup , OK here it is again then :)

8500

Ak, Happy you found us too. I need to get off my butt and start notifying but then Chery is right. Everybody will find it soon enough. Hello Friend.
Once everyone notices that the last one has closed, they'll start searching and find it:) cause that's what we do lol.
Hope you're doing great Joe.

Hi rp! You have been a busy lady latly:-) good to see you.

I've got to go for a while. Bed time for the rugrats. I'll be back later.

See you all in a bit, behave. Ya, like I should talk. :)

Alty out.

Yup, saw that one... but, for some reason I find it hard to believe a puppy can spell as good as you do??

I went to the BEST Puppy school :)

Hmmm, OK, that's how you want it, I got to repect it. You are kind of soft... so I will take it for what it is...

Goodnight folks. Got to go. Getting so so tired. Have a great weekend everybody. Does anybody have an extra long weekend? Victoria day is on Monday for all Us Canucks. We all get to have a day off.

Ohhhhh you lucky guy... I am getting tired too but if I fall asleep this early I am up waking all through the night! So night to you Joe. Enjoy your long weekend!

Yup, long weekend for us Canadians, Yeehaa!

Night Joe, talk to you tomorrow.

M, I love your puppy picture, I'd talke you home with me in a heart beat you big softie! :)

Oh gosh Alty, from what I know you have offered everyone and every animal a home... LOL You are a sweet soul!;)

I can't help it Starty. Jeesh, is the tough exterior I project not working, is my soft side coming through?

My major downfall, I am a very trusting person, I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to, and even then, they usually get a second, third or even fourth chance with me. If someone hurts someone I love, then watch out, angry Alty can do some major damage, and she will. As far as animals are concerned, I've never met and animal I didn't like, I've never been hurt or wronged by an animal. I can't do allot to help the animals out there that need it, but I can do my teeny, tiny part and I love it.

Hee, hee, Starty, you also have allot of pets, even a snake, takes one to know one. :)

Hi Chery
I saw those pictures , they were great and you look so happy :)

It's ironic, but I feel happier than I have in years - after my stroke and long hospitilization, then my mucked up relationship - I don't have to do anything I don't want to and feel freer than I have in years. Planning and getting my 'affairs' done, being officially retired instead of on wellfare really has changed my mood. I plan on enjoying every available minute I have left. I don't see it as 'the end'.. but the beginning of being able to go places and do things without the burden of this ailingly painful body, although I will miss being around loved ones, I will be with them always in spirit.

You looked so cute as a puppy! I remember when I raised dogs, that they have such a uniquely wonderful smell to them that I couldn't stop cuddling them - and who can not like lovely puppy eyes! I love all animals. My cat is just right for me now - he does not need me to take him out and we both love to snuggle and rest most of the day.

OK, I said I was tired about an hour ago after working on my laptop all day, but am so wired up right now that I could go on and on, but will give you a break.

TTFN - that's what Tigger says.. (TaTaForNow)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_33_13.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

That is for sure. I agree Alty! Alty just be real careful with trusting, k? I only say that cause I have been burned a few times and I have seen people get burned, specially over the net;)
K, all that aside, I have a few pets, most likely I will be getting two turtles! I can't wait to have turtles again, they are so cool!! Anyway we let the snake go but I am sure there will be more coming in, just depends on how fast Jett finds them. And then how fast he loses them! My kitty is sitting right by the hot part on my laptop, and my dog got to go in the pool today... oh gosh and BEAR, the hermit crabs are still living no matter how much I don't give them fresh water, they just won't die! LMAO
Alty, you are a kind woman, I like you that way...

Aw, sweet Starty, I wouldn't change a thing about you either. I'm getting choked up now, jeesh, tough it up Alty. :)

Turtles, wow, turtles aren't allowed as pets in Canada right now, haven't been for a while, I don't remember why but it was a good reason.

I know how you feel about the hermit crabs, I have a 4 year old goldfish that I was told wouldn't last 2 weeks, hee, hee, the jokes on me, and he's getting to big for his tank, I really don't want to buy a new tank for him, but what else can I do? Watch, I'll buy a new tank and then he'll die, that's the way it goes. ;)

You looked so cute as a puppy!


LOL... thanks chery , that's it I'm staying a Pup.

Starty that sounds like a mini Zoo you have there , between you and Alty you's could almost start one.

We had fish in the turtles pool forever, I thought for sure they would die too, but they didn't for about 4 or 5 years... lol

Toughen up little lady, toughen up... I don't doubt that you will either I have proof oh wait it may take me about 57 hours to find all the proof through millions of posts, but it is there!

LOL................thanks chery , thats it I'm staying a Pup.

Starty that sounds like a mini Zoo you have there , between you and Alty you's could almost start one.
Did I mention the four kids too? :D :eek:

Did i mention the four kids too? :D :eek:

4 Kids as well , starty how do you find time to come on here??

Ok so I haven't posted a joke for you guys in a while , I feel like I have been neglecting my duties... :D


Tale of the Irish Sausage

Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't
Have a lot of money between them, they could only
Raise the staggering sum of one Euro.

Murphy said 'Hang on, I have an idea.'

He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out
With one large sausage.

Shamus said 'Are you crazy? Now we don't have any
Money left at all!'

Murphy replied, 'Don't worry - just follow me.'

He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two
Pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.

Shamus said 'Now you've lost it. Do you know how much
Trouble we will be in? We haven't got any money! '

Murphy replied, with a smile. 'Don't worry, I have a
Plan, Cheers!'

They downed their Drinks. Murphy said, 'OK, I'll stick
The sausage through my zipper and you go on y our knees
And put it in your mouth.'

The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them
Out.
They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and
More drunk, all for free.

At the tenth pub Shamus said 'Murphy - I don't think I
Can do any more of this. I'm drunk and me knees are
Killin'me!'

Murphy said, 'How do you think I feel? I lost the
Sausage in the third pub

:D I ignore everyone... just kidding... well, sometimes I do, I can't lie. But usually I am here in the day when they are at school or late when they have been fed and are relaxing or in their rooms or on the phone or what ever they are doing, and it seems that I get up and sit back down a lot... I knew I could find a way to call this excersize:D

I'm not the worst one, yeah, Starty has more pets and she has more kids, I'm a close second though, sigh. Hey Starty, want to start a petting zoo, can you pet a turtle or a hermit crab, hmm, just a thought, actually, just M's thought. :)

I'm tough when I need to be, tough when someone else needs it, but really, I am just a big softie underneath. Dang, I already swore someone to secrecy about that very fact and a few hours later I'm telling my own darn secret. I can't keep my big mouth shut. Hey, no comments! :)

I can't help it Starty. Jeesh, is the tough exterior I project not working, is my soft side coming through?

My major downfall, I am a very trusting person, I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to, and even then, they usually get a second, third or even fourth chance with me. If someone hurts someone I love, then watch out, angry Alty can do some major damage, and she will. As far as animals are concerned, I've never met and animal I didn't like, I've never been hurt or wronged by an animal. I can't do allot to help the animals out there that need it, but I can do my teeny, tiny part and I love it.

Hee, hee, Starty, you also have allot of pets, even a snake, takes one to know one. :)

Alty, I too have give more than three chances to those I know did not deliberately mean me or mine harm. But those few who have meant to do damage - they really need to watch out - because I can be worse than a mother lion when it comes to protecting my two legged and four legged loved ones. They know who they are and cannot look me in the eyes. But I have a little surprise for them - I intend to spook the heck out of them and not let them rest for quite a while... that's my plan for revenge.

I also loved and had all kinds of animals: dogs, cats, a bunny, snakes (great big black boa in Georgia and a King Python in California), tarantulas, snapping turtles, hamsters (over 50 at one time - beautiful angora and apricot in color) and giuneypigs(sp). Plus all the cats in my neighborhood come around when I'm outside- I always have snacks for them. There is one special cat that I helped deliver her babies and gave them away to friends - she's still here - and bites and scratches when others come too close - but loves to sit and purr in my lap. Animals know who they can trust and they give unconditional love too.

So from one animal lover to another - a great big warm Hug to you and have a wonderful weekend, soul-mate.

No comment!!

Oh M, I'm so going to print that out for Wiggy, that was hilarious. Reminds me of a joke that, well, I can't tell on here. I'll PM it to you later, k?

Oh Friend I was going to say something, but you beat me too it! Oh goodness, that was a good one!!

Right back at you Chery. We do have allot in common, more than I realized as I see that you are in Germany, I am still a German citizen, moved to Canada before I was 4. It's great to meet other people who feel the same way that I do, especially when it comes to animals. I'll stop, promise, I could talk about animals, especially mine, forever, as the others will tell you. :)

Hey all, Cold meds and beer don't mix, I'm finding that out the hard way. Jeesh, I had one beer and I feel like I've drank a whole case. Watch out, Alty is lightheaded, we all know that this never ends well. :)

Chery, Alty and everyone else, I have a confession to make...
I don't like dogs... I feel bad for saying so cause I do like them, just don't like taking care of them... I also never knew how attatched I could get with a tank full of mating guppies... nor did I think I would ever love a stupid hermit crab... or a dumb ole facinating snake, or a soft bunny that bites me... I really need to stop cause the lossof our turtle devistated me, and only one person will ever know how much my indoor plants meant to me when I had to get rid of my ten year old plant friends when we moved here from Alaska. (he knows who he is) and so there it is, I am a whimpy strong weeny living thing lover... LMAO

Chery, I have to say you should amazing right now, and I love it!

Hey all, Cold meds and beer don't mix, I'm finding that out the hard way. Jeesh, I had one beer and I feel like I've drank a whole case. Watch out, Alty is lightheaded, we all know that this never ends well. :)

This could get nasty...

Ok so I haven't posted a joke for you guys in a while , I feel like I have been neglecting my duties..............:D

O M G!! My side hurt, I laughed so much.. That was a good one. Good thing they did not go into an all men's pub.. or maybe they would have had their drinks for free there too? There goes my imagination again.

Start... I forgot about the fish I had in my office at work too, thanks for helping me remember.

As for the song I used to sing, it's original name was Rockabye Baby.. and continued with 'in the tree top.when the wind blows the cradle will rock... ' does it ring a bell now?


http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_165_8.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

I have a confession to make....
I dont like dogs....

GASP... do I need to change my Avi??

This could get nasty..........
Naw... she has been really mushy tonight!;)
Friend what was for lunch today?

GASP...................do I need to change my Avi ???????
NO... cause I don't like them, but I always love them... if that makes any sense! They are such a pain in my butt... at least mine is, the hair, the hurt hip, the puke, the poop, the accidents cause he is so old and sweet... little a-hole has me wrapped around his finger, and he knows it

Naw.....she has been really mushy tonight!;)
Friend what was for lunch today?


I can still read you know. ;)

Mushy, I'm mushy. Hmmm, poke, poke, okay, maybe a little bit. :)

Really, I feel like I drank around 12 beers, wow, this cold medicine must be good stuff. Hey, look, my fingers are moving really fast on the keyboard and I can't feel them, wow and words are popping up on that screen thingy. Wow, this is cool. ;)

Poor Alty...
I hope you are all right, I have a cold too;( I have to work tomorrow, I hope I can put a smile on my face, ohhhhh what am I thinking, of course I can;) ;) ;)

EDIT::::::::::
Night guys... I got to sleep soon... Hugs to you all!!

Night Starty pants, sleep tight, hugs back at you. :)

M, I'm moving to the daycare, maybe Starby will come and play, care to join me? :)

Friend what was for lunch today?

Eating my lunch as we speak , Fried Rice , some Honey chicken and Mongolian Pork... Yummy!

::Edit:: Night starty

Naw, things don't get nasty here.

We all know that it is possible to LOVE but not have to LIKE everything we LOVE is doing or what we have to do for them... so we do understand.

I loved my snapping turtle a lot when I was a kid, but did not like having to spend my allowance once in a while for hamburger meat so that he could devour bloody protein - but that's all part of learning to accept it and still love.

And I love Alexander dearly, but his smelly diapers and temper tantrums don't exaclty turn me on, but it's all a part of him and that's called LOVE:

Start... I gave up raising plants because we wound up moving almost every three years and we had to leave them behind - being in the military. My last plant was from my last house and it was too big to carry out, so I had to break it in half - that hurt like heck - it was a beautiful cactus too and you don't get them to grow just anywhere in Germany. So, I know how you feel. But we have our memories of what we loved even after they've long gone. That's life.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_14_15.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hi guys, received my invitation (thanks Start) but didn't open it until about 15 minutes ago, sorry, but I found you. Missed you...

Off to work. Chery, thanks for understanding, I sure do miss them, but now i have more. YOu know watching something grow because you helped it along, there is just something great about that! (yes start says hello to her plants)
Good morning and Happy Friday!;)

Ditto and have a great day... :)

Glad you made it Sheriff!

glad you made it Sheriff!

Thanks to you hon...

NOt sure anyone understands the 'Sheriff?" haha:)

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. (had to do it, it was in my head:))

How is everyone this fine Friday? I'm still sick as a dog, in fact I feel horrible, so does poor little Jared and I think Sydney is re-infected. It's going to be a long, long weekend.

Hope everyone else is doing great! :)

I would respond and tell you that I hope you feel better Darlin' but I can't. Someone just walked in, shot me in the back and I am lying her unable to reply...

Ya know what "they" say... "know your enemies........watch your friends"

Seriously, I have been there and I wish I could help in some way Alty, I know it is NO fun at all being sick. You may have already tried this but I take Nightquil and Dayquil. They are the only two that at least take away some of the symptoms like body aches, runny nose, etc.

Get well soon hon,
Stringer

Aw thanks much Stringer, hugs, but not to close, I'm contagious. ;)

I was planning on spending the weekend working on a few projects I've been putting off, number one was a new coffee table for my family room. I think I might just have to wait until I get better, working with wood and breathing in sawdust is probably not a great idea right now, sigh.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend Stringer?

No, just things that need done; cut the grass, possibly attempt to again clean and organize the garage, things like that. But mostly just relax.

I have been extremely stressed lately, mainly from business related things and a constant barrage from an egotistic, narcissistic, anal retentive, bi polar business partner (pain in the --PITA). So I need the weekend to "replenish" for another go next week. Business is tough, especially in a very competitive business. A constant battle with competitors, dealing with clients... this constant PITA just magnifies the stress... Oh well, that's life... if the business wasn't so successful... he would be on my "doesn't exist" list.

Enough complaining dear, sorry... just got off the phone with him and... well complaining doesn't really help and at least I have a lovely wife who understands (haha she wants a contract put out on him---no, she is kidding, really)... you know.

Get better soon, and get outside the weather is fine here in Chicago.. about 75 degrees and sunshine today...

Stringer

Dear Stringer - You know that this is the right place to vent. We are here to listen and let you get it out so that it does not build up too much. You guys have no idea how much you've helped me in my times of need and it has helped me tremendously just to let it out, which I thank you all for being there...

If Marta need some help, let her know that I'd be more than willing to assist her in her ventures (ha.ha) but it is good that she backs you up.

Vent all you want hon, and lots of Virtual Hugs from across the 'Big Pond'.

Hi all! I'm not trying to crash the party. Just ran onto this and enjoyed it so much, thought I wanted to drop in and say "Howdy".

Hon, that's the only way, so crash right in any time... some conversations are above my head and I step out for a few days, but then come back to the old 'watering hole'. You are always welcome - and don't you forget it!

Speaking of lunch, today I sliced and threw in some cooked potatoes, peppers, onion, bacon bits and two eggs into a microwave dish and let it cook. Was surprised at how delish it was, even better with a little hot sauce. Oh, my stomach is going to get back at me for that, but it tasted great going down.

Tonight it's going to be a chicken pot pie and a tall glass of strawberry flavored milk.

Going shopping tomorrow - got to get some more hair color and the only place I can get it is in a special wholesale store. I want my hair silver-gray. Ironic that most women get gray hair and don't want it, but the women in my family never get gray hair - my great-grandmother's fault.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Thank you sweetheart seriously I appreciate your words hon.

I really don't like complaining like that, it just gets overbearing at times (And I know after 15 years--he isn't going to change.)

By nature I have always been the one that was the "Father Confessor" if you know what I mean hon. Everyone seemed to come to me in high school, college, and ever since with their problems, I don't mind and I really try to fix them if and when I can (sheriff).

But the stress that kills you is the kind that has no resolution... and that is what I 'm facing almost daily.

Opps, I did it again, drained myself like a leaking bucket didn't I? I am beginning to feel better now and things find a balance...

Thanks again Chery for letting me rant...

Happy you made it over Stringer, and jrebel7 very big welcome.

Happy you made it over Stringer, and jrebel7 very big welcome.

Thanks my friend, I wouldn't just let you guys get away... :)

I was going to send invitations out to everyone.
Oh and Stringer, I knew you wouldn't just let us all get away... (;
Have a great weekend.

Happy you made it over Stringer, and jrebel7 very big welcome.

Thank you much! A great group of people here. Fun to be a part it. :p

That's OK dear. I always was there for everyone else. I was always able to help them out with their problems somehow - but never quite was able to help myself with my learned experience and still seem to make the same mistakes. I've learned though - better late than never - that I come first from now on, except for my AMHD family and loved ones here at home.

So, welcome to the 'bleeding hearts for everyone else club' and vent here with me so that we do get some relief too. WE DESERVE IT.. and I know all of our friends here will agree.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_17.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

I'm on board Chery, you vent away Stringer. How many times have you guys listened to me vent, you never complain, just listen, give advice, sometimes a shoulder to lean on, that's why I love all of you so much. Okay, mushy moment over.

How is everyone today?

Fine, No more real school! I have to take 5 tests

Honors Geomeotry
Honors English
World History
Physical Science
German 1

I'm tingly from my jacuuzi Bath and happy from my recently finished root beer float

Never doubt the powers of a root beer float

I have a hazelnut ice cap from Timmies, so I'm happy too. I am a bit bored though, tell me something interesting Guy, anything at all. :)

Uh...
One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying somewhere above NewJersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan, BillGates, the Dali Lama, and a hippie. Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began tofill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the compartment.
"Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the door and jumped from the plane.
Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into the night.
Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have a parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped.
The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dali Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you; you take a parachute, and I will go down with the plane."
The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, dude. The world's smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack."

LMAO, good one Guy! :)

Any big plans for the weekend? I plan on getting over this darn cold. I also plan on cleaning my house and possibly going swimming with the kids. How about you, anything exciting on the agenda?

Hm...

Tomorrow I got Guitar Lesson, Then my saxophone teacher is holding a recitial thing and I gota play a jazz duet with her. Then apprently there's a big Pillow Fight (Yes, I said Pillow Fight) By the River and I'm heading over there

Sunday is nothing

Pillow fight, that sounds fun, definitely head over to that, bring a huge pillow! :)

I miss being young, so many fun things to do, no huge responsibilities, I'd like just one weekend to be 15 again. Wait, with one stipulation, 15 knowing what I know now, not what I thought I knew then, sound good? ;)

Do me a favor, whack someone in the head with your pillow for me, stay out late, and have a blast! :)

Good evening friends... late, yup, almost nine and just got back from a long day! Whew! Feel better just being home, now to the kids and house, hugs all around!;)

Hugs to you Start,

Almost 12 am here. Lol

Real late. Hope your day was good. Nighty night.

P.S. Goodnight everyone!!

Hi start, Hi joe, and hi everyone else :-)

Hi start, Hi joe, and hi everyone else :-)

Hi.:) How are you AK?

Hi.:) How are you AK?
Hi stringer, how are you?! Haven't talked to you in forever.

Normally I'd say I'm doing good LOL...
But if I did that now, it would be a big fat lie.
Found out I have to have surgery to remove my gallbladder today...
I have no health insurance... that sux! But it has to come out...
Sorry I don't mean to complain.
I could look on the bright side... at least I know what's been causing all my discomfort for the last 3 months...

I am glad that you finally found out what was going on and what needs to happen to get some relief. Best wishes to you Ak.

Thanks Joe :-)

Hi there! Sorry you have to have your gallbladder out. :( It is good that recovery time is fairly quick and the procedure is much less invasive than it use to be. I don't mean to say it is a "Walk in the Park" by any means and I don't take it lightly but I had mine out awhile back. I was relived to get it done! I just know you will be glad when it is over. I sure was. I will be thinking about you and sending "healing" thoughts your way and a prayer will be lifted in your behalf for quick recovery! :)

So this is where we all are, hi guys
AK sorry to hear you have to go to surgery, I hope all goes well for you :)

Thank you so much.
I feel the same way as you do actually, I just get anxious very easily lol..
From what they've explained to me so far about the surgery,
It sounds like the pain I'm having now is actually worse than the pain from surgery. I will be so relieved to have it done.
I've had 2 c-sections and bounced back no problem (well considering)... not making light on the situation either, but I was hoping that it would be a walk in the park lol.;)
Thank you so much for your thoughts and sharing your experience, it gives me reassurance :)


so this is where we all are, hi guys
AK sorry to hear you have to go to surgery, i hope all goes well for ya :)

Hi Bear!! Long time!! How have you been?!
It will all go well, I know it will.
My wallet will be feeling the pain LOL but I will definitely be feeling better.
They gave me some nice meds to get me through the weekend too, so all is good ;)

Yea it has been a while, I'm good thanks not been around much because of exams and stuff, but now I'm FREE,MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It'll all be worth it in the end :)

Does that mean your exams are over!!
Yea!! Good bear That's great!!
So what's your plans this summer?

Edit: I better try to get some sleep.
Good night :)

AK, hope all goes well and that you get well soon. Glad you made it here.

Albear, I knew you'd find us without problems, you just have 'good radar' to lead you to the right places.

Good Morning AMHD Family.. how are you doing this fine morning? I had some plans today, but a about of sciatic nerve ache just put a crimp in them all. Oh well, can't expect every day to be super, so I'll rest in bed with my cat and use an ice-pack.

Has anyone seen J_9 lately? I think it's time for her to show up here, since all her exam time is done and she is now our very own Nurse!

Alty, your username gave me the hint that you have a german background.. say hi to your family over here for me when you chat with them next time.

Have a great weekend, all!

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_72.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hi all, good morning. It's supposed to be 30 degrees Celsius today, that's 86 degrees fahrenheit, wow! :)

Chery, you, the name does give it away doesn't it? My moms entire family is still in Germany and it's a big family. My mom was one of 11 kids, 8 are still living, they have kids and those kids now have kids too. I was there last in 2001 with my husband, son and mother. My mom died 3 days after we arrived in Germany, she never did get to see everyone, which was her final wish, it still haunts me that it didn't happen. I would like to go for another visit next year, it's just so expensive for 4 people to travel there, then we'd have to rent a car etc. I do want very badly to make it happen, I miss my family there so much, and I miss Germany. :)

AK, I'm so sorry that you have to have surgery, I'm sure that you will feel better once it is done, my Aunt is going through the same thing right now, she gets her gallbladder removed next week, they have to wait because she had shingles two weeks ago. I'll be thinking about you and sending good thoughts and wishes your way. Take care.

I hope everyone else is doing great and has a wonderful day. :)

I've actually Had a really good morning =). Got a wonderful night of sleep. Just demolished Some Banana Bread for Breakfast. And I had a extremnly trippy dream


I can't remember much but I was on a baseball field telling people to make an microwave waffle and on one half Put Chocolate Pudding and on the other Cool Whip THen put a lot of whipped cream. Then put on some caramel and some maple syrup, I'm NOT Kidding here people

Maybe the fact that someone brought in starbucks yesterday made my mind think of their black and white cookie they have. Hmm, I doo say I will try to do this today though

Along with Chocolate Corndogs XD

Great Guy, now I'm hungry, darnit I don't have any caramel or whipped cream, this sucks. ;)

It is 8am for me and the day is already warm and sunny, it's going to be a hot one. :)

I'm an hour ahead of you, its 9 am here

I'm going to go take a showa and practice that jazz song I have, then go find my Pikachu Pillow and go fluff it up for later today

Sounds good to me. Have fun at the pillow fight tonight. :)

Great Guy, now I'm hungry, darnit I don't have any caramel or whipped cream, this sucks. ;)

It is 8am for me and the day is already warm and sunny, it's going to be a hot one. :)

Good morning to you all. It's now 16:23 here and I just woke up from a short nap.

Hey alty, give your folks in germany my german email address if you want to, it will be nice talking to them.. I too have over 109 relatives in the Paderborn area from my grandma's side, and about the same amount from grandpa's side in the Bad Duerkheim area. My grandparents resided in Berlin and that's where my mom and uncle were born. The only real close ones left here are my uncle (80 this year) and cousin (she has two wonderful kids) - they now live in Trier as her husband is Chief of Surgery in the Catholic Hospital there. Being near Ramstein, I don't get to see them much but we chat with webcam a lot.
My dad's side originates from Hazard, Kentucky and I tried to find them, but no success yet - I was hoping that I'd find some with help, but oh, well. We can't have everything.

Anyway, I will PM you my german web address so that you can share it if you wish.

TTFN,

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Thanks Chery,

Most of my relatives don't have computers, the only one is my cousin, he lives near Worms with his wife and 6 year old daughter, he's like a brother to me, spent a year with us in Canada when I was 15, he was 18, it was great having a brother for a year. :)

I was born in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and lived in a small town called Weikersheim until I was almost 4 years old, that's when we moved to Canada. I miss my German relatives so much, especially my mom's sisters (my Tantes) Inge and Lilo, I wish that I could see them more often, it's hard living so far apart. I hope me and the fam can make it there next year, I'd love for my relatives to meet my daughter and to see how much my son has grown, he wasn't quite 3 years old when we were there last, he's 9 now, he sure has changed since they saw him last.

Today is going to be a great day, I can tell, the bunnies are all full of piss and vinegar, ready to hop around and enjoy a warm wonderful day. I Hope that all of you have a beautiful day to enjoy as well. :)

Morning everyone... seems I have missed quite a bit in the last day or so, lol. Been busy trying to get a new roof put on my house and FINALLY things are looking bright for me. Looks like there will be a refi happening soon and we will get the money needed to make it stop raining inside our home.

Kae... so sorry to hear you have to have surgery! Look at it this way.. you get to be waited on hand and foot for a few days, lol. There always is a bright side, huh? Hehe

Alty... thought you might want to know... we are going to play with the bunnies at the pet store in just a few minutes ;) heehee Our weekly trip to get worms and crickets for the gecko... Colton's favorite thing to do, lol.

Everyone else... Hope you all have a great day!

Hi RP, playing with bunnies is always fun, give them all a hug for me. :)

My four fur balls are having a blast today, hopping around in their bunny binky room and loving every minute of it. My newest bunny, Kilala, is quite the little energizer bunny, she's got spunk to spare and is loving her new home.

Can you tell I love my bunnies? :)

Hi stringer, how are you?!!! Haven't talked to you in forever.

Normally I'd say I'm doing good LOL...
But if I did that now, it would be a big fat lie.
Found out I have to have surgery to remove my gallbladder today...
I have no health insurance...that sux! but it has to come out...

I could look on the bright side...at least I know whats been causing all my discomfort for the last 3 months...

Ak, gosh, this is too bad, I hope it all goes smooth and you feel much better really really fast!;)

I agree AK, take it easy and soak up the TLC...

Lots of love,
Stringer

Hey Starty, Hey Stringer, how are you today?

Hi you Alty, and Stringer...
Alty, I just got my new batch of fresh home made bread mixed up and ready to rise. I promised Father in law, fressh bread and a homemade carrot cake tomorrow;) Having a BBQ today so I may make some coleslaw, and baked beans to go with it! Not sure what else yet... any suggestions would be good. How are you Alty??

Suggestions, hmmm, I suggest you set another plate for dinner, Alty's coming over. Dangit Starty, you always make me hungry! :);)

I'm still sick, the kids are still sick, and today I'm going to give it to hubby so that we can all be miserable together (kidding). :)

YOu all need to get better!! Goodness Alty a bit a bread and my soup would do your family wonders right now with a bit a spice for your noses... Awwwww poor babies!
Making the coleslaw now... be back;)

I've got to run off for a bit, fix myself something to eat (thanks Starty) and clean my house. I'll be back a bit later. :)

Hey Starty, Hey Stringer, how are you today?

Another day dedicated to"SHOPPING!!!" But this time... I get to go too... woopeee! I think.

Hi guys...

Chery, Alty, Rp, Start, Stringer :)
Thanks for all your thoughts, all the well wishes and all that good stuff.

Chery I hope you start feeling better today, snuggle with your kitty man and relax.

Rp, that's good news about your roof, hope you have fun playing with the bunnies.

Alty, Your new bunny sounds great. How do you pronounce her name?
I hope you and your kiddos get well soon.

Start, have a great day baking! Sounds yumalicious!

Stringer, hope you're doing well, have fun shopping!

Everyone else, I hope you're good, smiling, and having a great weekend!

Another day dedicated to"SHOPPING!!!" But this time ...I get to go too........woopeee! I think.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_33.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hello Ak,
Hello Chery,

I am sitting here at the computer, being a bum. Lol

Wife and baby taking a nap. I tried but could not.

See you all later. Hugs and have a great weekend.

I suppose it is high time I send you a surprise then! Still baking, soon will be done then I can hit the shower, slap on the sun screen and eat good food and watch kids swim... nothing better!

My sunscreen's on, the kids are outside, and I just stopped in to see what you are all up to.

AK- My newest bunny's name (which hubby calls #4) is pronounced "kee, la, la" apparently it's a character in Inuasha, my son loves that show. :)

Stringer - I need new shoes, since you're shopping anyway... ;)

Starby - Should I give you my address so you can send me some of your baking? :);)

Chery - give kitty a snuggle for me too. :)

Alty, if you aren't scared of me, I wouldn't mind sending something... LOL
Don't ask J-9 how long it actually takes it to get there, but you, if you want me to I can;)
Uhhhhhh, as for sunscreen, just eating salsa and chips thenm I will apply... I promise!
See you later tater...

Ooooh, I so trust you, I really do, are you serious, I get home baked goods, wow, that's awesome. :)

Sunscreen baby, NOW, or do I have to start lecturing, I will you know. You have 4 kids sweetie, set a good example, put on your sun screen. :) You know I'm being mean because I lub you, right? :)

I wonder if the fresh baked goods would still be fresh when they got here, I'm in Canada, that's a bit far from you Starty. Sigh, I miss my mom, boy could she bake, a talent she didn't pass on to me! :)

Not sure, I forgot about that... you know if I sent something to you there, I would have to do the same for joe... and who ever else would want some... I would have to spentd the whole day baking (I love it) and then make little gift boxes (Firmy) so let me figure a good weekend to do it, I will look how long it takes to get it to canada;) ;) ;)

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_11_3.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)

Hey start.. here's a little something I just made and see how fast it got here. Just kidding, but hope you like it.

Nice cupcake...
I should take pics of my gour loaves of bread, home made carrot cake, and my regular yellow cake, and my coleslaw... but my puter doesn't let me post it...

Mmmm, cupcake, Alty want! :)

Shopping... you mean carry the packages and the wallet.. that's a better description.

Driving home; car full, wallet empty...

Went to see the second Narnia movie tonight, I liked the first one better... it wasn't terrible, but not like the first one. Next week; Indiana Jones; Crystal SKULLLLLLLL...

Night all, sleep tight,
Stringer

Night Stringer. :)

Night Stringer. :)

Good night Mrs. Alty, where ever you are... (Durante, remember?)
Stringer

Before going to bed, don't forget your prayers...

Here's a new one for you 'gals':


FEMALE PRAYER:

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man who's not a creep.
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long.

One who thinks before he speaks,
When he says he'll call, he won't wait weeks.
I pray that he is gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, he won't be annoyed.

Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind.
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"

I pray that this man will love me to no end.
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
And as I kneel and pray by my bed.
I look at the creep you sent me instead.
... Amen.

MALE PRAYER:

I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac, with huge boobs, and who owns a liquor store.
... Amen.

[author unknown]


It's the afternoon here and I am going to take a nap now.. been up all night, as usual.

Night,night.

*yawn* Morning everyone =)

I'm got a day of Cramming, Guitar, and Yardwork

Aaaaaaaaaaw Chery, I love you but I think my feelings are kind of hurt... (sob, sob, sob, tear... ) So this is how you women really feel about us guys?

By the way, Marta says "Hi" and she laughed at your "prayer." I just sat there and stared at her...

Stringer (in pain)

GAH, I just begin to study and already I can't figure out the 1st question...

Who Decided Russia most modernize following the Crimean War?

Don't know if this is correct or not but when you open the link, look under G6

I just scanned it but it is worth looking at I think.

Good afternoon all. I'm taking a break from cleaning, I'm going insane, I hate cleaning. Someone needs to invent a self cleaning home, really! Oh, and since I'm making a wish list, self cleaning kids would be nice to, oh and someone who cooks, oh and laundry, oh how about yard work, did I miss anything? ;) Wait, they did invent that, it's ME!:eek:

Well then, you need to get to my house Alty, heehee... but you may need a couple of friends to help. This place is a wreck and in less than a week we are having Colton's b'day party here! I will be more than stressed this week... I hate this kind of stuff (new people at my home, cleaning, throeing parties). I am just no good at it, but I will manage... somehow :)

Oh RP trust me, your house cannot look worse than mine right now, there's no way, but I'm not taking pictures to prove it! I'm no good at the party throwing thing either, especially when it's family coming over. I have a grandmother that will come over with her white glove and run her finger over every piece of furniture in my house to see if it's clean, she's lucky I don't own a gun. ;) Then she goes downstairs to cry in front of my parents urn (yes, the were both creamated and are here with me) when I try to comfort her she says "you don't know what it feels like to have lost them." Huh? Hello, they were my parents, jeesh. I'm not looking forward to the kids birthday parties, can I go to Hawaii instead? ;)

I SWEAR you are in my family somehow (and I will find out who you are, lmao)! My gma is just like that... no one can be worse off or have any ailment that she doesn't already have, lol. And I promise, my house is worse.. I need to check if a hurricane or two have passed through here, lol.

Are your feet sticking to the floor, mine are! :)

Yup, we just might be long lost sisters, hmmm, why didn't Mom and Dad tell me, I always wanted a sister, or a brother, heck anything, being an only child sucked.

Aaaaaaaaaaw Chery, I love you but I think my feelings are kinda hurt.....(sob, sob, sob, tear....) So this is how you women really feel about us guys?

By the way, Marta says "Hi" and she laughed at your "prayer." I just sat there and stared at her.........

Stringer (in pain)

Glad Marta enjoyed this little 'joke' and am sure that your tears were due to laughing a little yourself, Stringer.

Give her my warmest hi right back.

Hi Chery, bye Chery and RP, I've got to continue cleaning, if I sit here to long I'll lose my get up and go, oh no, did it already leave. Sigh. Once again. I HATE CLEANING! :)

You've got to be close to the end Alty... then it will be all nice and pretty and you will be so glad you got up and did it :)

Hiya Chery... was your nap a good one?

Nap was OK, just too short. Sometimes I just wish I had no phone, but need it.

Going to play a new game now to keep me busy until I get tired again. I enjoy hidden object games to train the brain.

TFN all, have a good week.

Yeah, you know me very well hon, you saw right through my alligator tears.. and yep I was laughing. Actually I called Marta in to read it, getting her to settle down and STOP laughing took a while though. She wasn't expecting the last paragraph, that is when she burst into hysterical laughter... man... :D

Do you have a better men's prayer, that I would like to see?

Stringer

You've got to be close to the end Alty...then it will be all nice and pretty and you will be so glad you got up and did it :)

Hiya Chery....was your nap a good one?

Hey R... miss you...

EDIT: I too am "cleaning" today, I will have you gals know...

For the last 3 1/2 hours I have been going through my closet. Rearranging the shelves, drawers and all the hanging "stuff." We (Marta, of course-could I do this w/o a boss?) took one h*ll of a lot of clothes of mine that shrunk to the basement Very mysterious how these clothes just shrunk). And we are giving away a ton of stuff to Good Will and to relatives... I have space now... now I can go shopping, this time for me. :eek:

Stringer...

-.-, I hate Google...

I saw something quite interesting today, As I was watching some television I saw someone who had made a "bling ring" out of a dollar bill and a coin. Seeing This I've been quite interested in finding a guide to make one so I can turn it into a mock "graduation ring" for a gift for Rachel for her Graduation Unfourtnately I've only found ones making just the wrong ring. Can anyone of you find the guide I'm looking for? Here's a picture I'm what exactly I'm trying to make

Hey guy... think this is it YouTube - How to fold a dollar bill into a ring (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtcfSmv9B1A)

Good night everyone... catch all of you in a day or two :)

Goodnight Rp, good to see you.

hey guy.....think this is it YouTube - How to fold a dollar bill into a ring (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtcfSmv9B1A)

Good night everyone....catch all of you in a day or two :)

I apprecity your help rpg but unfourtanely that's not what I'm looking for. As you can see in the video that person just makes a ring and while I can do that from my picture u can see there's a pocket where you can find a nickel/quarter to work as a "diamond". That's the type of ring I'm looking for.

Hi all, anyone up?

Guy, how was the massive pillow fight, did you have fun?

RP, almost finished today, got short winded though and couldn't get it all done, oh well there's always tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day... :)

Stringer, shopping for you, sounds like fun.

Chery, have fun with your games, and have a good sleep tonight. :)

How is your cold Alty?

My cold's fine, it's doing great, I however am not. ;) I'll be okay, I'm more worried about the kids. Jared and I are both on inhalers because the cold has gone in to our chest, it's not fun, but we'll live. Thanks for asking sweet Stringer. How are you and Marta?

We are doing fine Alty, thanks.

We spent 5 hours redoing our master closet today/tonight, my back hurts a little, but it looks great. We still have some more to do, but it looks good, very neat and organized. We are considering having a company called "Master Closets" come in and completely redo the whole kit and caboodle later.

I hope you and Jared fell better.:(

Sounds great Stringer, I wish I could get my closet organized, jeesh, another thing on my to do list. I give up, will my house ever be clean, and when it is how long will it last? I need a home to live in and a home that I can invite people to, that way I won't have to clean as often. Hurumph. ;)

Jared's the sickest out of the two of us and Sydney has it too but she's a toughy, I used to be and I guess I still am, but I'm going to be a bit whiny this time, I need some TLC. ;)

There is not a damn thing wrong with receiving some TLC lady... here take this big hug...

My mom used to always say; "we live in our house." And there we eight of us kids, can you imagine?

Up... But fading fast, I have to wait till my pants are washed and I just started them. My eyes are going to fall out of my head. Got to see my three little nieces all day today and my face hurts from smiling. All the kids had a great day!
Sorry you had to clean Stringer... (just think of it this way, you didn't have to pack)
Alty, I sure wish it didn't drag out like this for you and the family! I hope it goes away soon:)

Yikes, 8 kids, I can't imagine, I can't keep the house clean and I only have 3 (I'm including hubby in the head count) kids. Eight, wow, what a women. I was an only child and of course a perfect angel who never made a mess or caused my parents one moment of heartache (if you believe that then I have a very nice bridge to sell you, it's pink!) ;)

Thanks for the hug Stringer, no one else wants one, I'm contagious. ;)

I used to be and I guess I still am, but I'm going to be a bit whiny this time, I need some TLC. ;)

Poor Alty , here's a Big virtual Hug for you :)

http://img.123greetings.com/eventsnew/friend_hugsncaring/1029-020-26-1068.gif

Hi stringer!!

Aw, M, that was sooooo sweet. Big hug right back at you, ACHOOO, sorry. :)

Hey you... had to get up when I realized that Colton has no clean clothes for tomorrow, lol.



Guy... no vid of it, but here you go:

With the bill face up fold the top down and the bottom up so they meet at the crease in the middle.

Fold the top and bottom in a second time to meet at the center crease and run a short ruler or a credit card along the folds to make a sharp crease. Then unfold these second folds.

Now fold the dollar in half, back to back so the sides meet.

Now crease the folded edge of the dollar by folding in the corners to the center crease and unfolding them. Then you tuck the creased corners to the inside, between the two layers of the bill. So now you have a dollar with the folded center coming to a point.

I hope you can understand this without pictures--this is where it gets tough to explain. Fold the upper layer of the bill in half so that one edge of the bill is now near the pointed center of the bill.

Then on the quarter of the bill that you just folded, you fold the upper edge down and lower edge up to the center again.

Now turn it over.

Again fold the upper edge down and the lower edge up to the center.

Turn the dollar over again.

Hold the bottom layer of the dollar secure, and carefully pull the top layer open. If you were able to follow my directions successfully, you will now see the dime box.

Make sure the bottom of your box is flat (push it down with your pinky), and place the dime in the box. Smash the edges of the box over the dime to hold it in place.

Tuck the long end of the dollar into the folded part of the short end. Once you have it properly sized, you may want to tape it together so that it does not keep slipping apart when you wear it.




Now to put the clothes in the dryer and off to bed... again. Night everyone HUGS and all that good stuff :)

Night RP. She was here for a good time, not a long time. Sleep tight RP.

Night Rp... glad you stepped in. I am bound to show Gradya and Davy that so they can try it out...
Good luck with that GUY!
Hi you Friend;)

Hey M.. how are you buddy? You are into Monday already aren't you?

Alty I am wearing a surgical mask just in case, but I woooooda huged you anyway.

PACKING! Thanks for the memories Start, as you know there is nothing I love more... haha.

Nighty night guys... ;)

Hey stringer , yeah I'm good. Monday afternoon for me at the moment 2.40pm so just a couple of hours till I'm heading to the Pub.

Thank you! I'll get to work on this the moment I get home from testing, Where'd You find it?

Alty: The Pillow fight was great, about 40 kids showed up on time and I almost got a concussion so that shows it was good. Then for some reason everyone started showing up at 8 when it started at 7 so I got to whack a couple more people before I left

YOU ARE A WONDER.....is there anything that you don't know how to do?

And by the way girly, I have said "hello" at least three times to you (in one way or the other), ignoring me just won't work and you know that.....

It's about time you got here!. and now that you know where we friends (including you) can come and streak in and out.. don't be a stranger.

No stress, no analysis or comments - just plain being yourself - that's what this thread is about dear.

Oh, and did I mention that it was about time you got here?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_18_103.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYMXDE)Lots and lot of Virtual hugs here!

Hi all. Guy, it sounds and looks like it was a great time. I wonder what hubby would do if I started a pillow fight when he gets home, muwahahahahah.

I'm still cleaning all, will it ever be done?:(

I can offer a match... insurance pays... fresh new house..? Kidding hon...

Giggle, don't think that the thought hasn't crossed my mind Stringer, it would be easier at this point. Sigh, how did it get so bad, oh you, hubby, kids, pets and Alty has been really lazy lately, and taking care of the sick, including herself. I bought a shirt yesterday to give them all a hint, it says "M stands for Mommy, not Maid". Think that will work? ;)

Hi Stringer, Tuscany, Firmy, Alty, Start,Rpg, friend4u, J_Helper(Joe), theguy, Curly,and 'Jreb'.

I hope I did not leave anyone out this time (wouldn't want any more tears stringer dear). Although, I am still waiting for J_9, and CBW to slowly but surely get here.

I know a lot of our other friends are busy but I'll catch them on the threads they 'hide'in anyway.

I just check out two shows on BBC: Red Dwarf and Spooks. I am impressed. One is funny as heck and the other is a good old brit spy spoof - just love them. I'm glad that I get english pay TV now - didn't know that British comedy could be so enjoying once I understand it.

Has anything fun happened to you lately that you'd be willing to share with me? Please do so.

TaTaForNow,

If your kids are like I was when I was one... you may have to explain... in detail.. :D

Funny, hmm, funny, okay. For show and tell a few weeks back, my daughter told her entire kindergarten class that her daddy has a stinky bum when he eats eggs. She's told other people this before, but not an entire classroom of kids. To make matters worse, my hubby picked her up from school that day, and a few of the kids came up to him and asked if he'd eaten any eggs that day, hubby didn't know why they asked, responded that he had eggs for breakfast, one kid said "hit the deck, he could blow any minute." Hubby and Sydney left, hubby with a red face, Sydney giggling herself silly. I know I LMAO when she told me the story. Kids, got to love them, they're better than cable TV. :)

Hi Chery, it's me... I noticed...

Have you seen a British show called "Sara Jones....?" It is kind of Si Fi and is on here in Chicago on DirecTV (satellite) on the "BBC in America." A spin off from Dr Who... it's not bad.

If your kids are like I was when I was one...you may have to explain ...in detail..:D

Believe me, been there, done that. They really believe that there is a little fairy that picks up after them, yesterday I finally lost it, I asked them "who do you think cleans up all the mess you make? It's not a cute little fairy, it's me, your poor tired Mommy." They said "Aw, Mommy, you're not a fairy, but you are cute." How can you get mad after that? Jeesh, they've got me all figured out. :o :D :) :p

Yep... when Bryan (my son) was 7 he found the key to the cabinet in the garage that held my Playboys. One time after venturing there when I was away he left the door and the pad lock open. When I questioned him he confessed, held out his hand with the key in it. Then he said; " Dad, please don't park in the street anymore cause I can't hear ya coming......."

Too cute Stringer, love that story.

I've got to run. Talk to you all later. :)

Alty out, for now. :)

It's not a cute little fairy, it's me, your poor tired Mommy." They said "Aw, Mommy, you're not a fairy, but you are cute." How can you get mad after that? Jeesh, they've got me all figured out. :o :D :) :p

Kids are just wonderful. It took Jaime a while to figure out I did not have eyes at the back of my head, but until she did, she had the funniest expressions on her face looking around in surprise that I was not there, but knew what she was up to.

Now, she gets her chance to experience all those little wonders herself. I'm so proud of them both.

Thank you all so much for sharing these stories with me. That made my day.

I have only seen Dr. Who a few times before it stopped, but the other one might come up next month. They bring on at least one new show a month, so all I have to do is sit back and wait.

Yes, kids are little miracles, they make you laugh, they make you cry, and at times they make you want to rip your hair out, but the good far outweighs the bad, I can't imagine my life without them. They are growing up way too fast, every day it seems that they have changed, I wish I could slow it down. Well, I live each day to the fullest, enjoy every moment, they are amazing, I just love them so much. :)

Ha.Ha, I bet you 'reved' it up when driving up from then on...

Yes actually you're right about that Chery He was and is a good kid/son/man/father/husband, all of those things and I actually felt bad for him when I had to address that with him. He was cute when he looked up while sitting in his bed in his room put up a closed hand and opened it slowly. He wasn't sure what I was going to do. I told him that this was not his property and he knows better... didn't go to the "Playboy" thing, I think that would have embarrassed him for a long time to come.

But he was so cute.. Maybe you remember that old commercial where the other siblings say "let Mikey to do it!?" Bryan looked like Mikey with BIG brown eyes, sorry I guess I love my son (and daughter also).:)

Of course you love your son and daughter, and I can tell that you are a great dad, they are so lucky to have you, and you them. Kids are wonderful, an extension of our lives, the best part of ourselves. Jeesh, we sure are getting mushy today, aren't we? ;)

Okay, let's lighten up the mood. Joke time. Question: how many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: two, but I don't know how they got in there. :D :p

Another good mom.......:)

Thanks Stringer, I do try, not perfect, but then, who is? My motto with kids; love them, hug them, kiss them and never miss a chance to tell them how much they mean to you, it's working so far. ;):)

Talk about kids and being mushy... Jaime is the type that spends hours looking for the appropriate greeting card for any occasion.. and I still have every Birthday and Mother's Day Card from her. I actually cried happy tears reading them all again this year. I got my first one from my grandson this year too.

I couldn't be happier. They both make up for all the pain and sacrifice I experienced in my life, that I now live for each second I get to be with them. I do have my sad moments and wish that I had more time but it does not stop me from enjoying their love and joy now.

On the lighter note - I wish I had a lightbulb big enough to hold two flies, all of mine are the new-fangled bulbs which are real small. So I have to find another fly hotel for my buzzing guests. Larry still does a good job at catching them despite his age. He still hunts them at night to protect me from them.

Good evening, or what ever it may be where you are!;)
I love the stories and experiences, how funny and sweet!
All right been gone all day and the house is a wreck, hope I get some time a bit later!

Hi starty how are you?

Am I imagining this or have you lost about 5000 posts of your count :confused:

Welp, I suppose it is a good thing huh? I am so glad it is back to normal, the other posts were rambling posts, and if there was one thing everyone knows, is that I am a chatty girl.:) I think they changed it to the "answering" questions posts in stead of "lounge" posts...

Ha ha yeah could be a good thing , although I don't think the posts in the Members area count anyway.

I always thought you had the gift of gab Starty pants, but now I have a chance to catch up to you. Oh, by the way, I recently got my third little green square, I'm sooooo happy. :)

Hi M, how's Tuesday looking? :)

Hey Alty

Alls good thanks , how is the Flu family going??
