Nite, nite dears.

Well, not quite how I intended it Chery...

I don't understand... I cannot find the pictures in my computer, I don't know what is going on. I'll continue to look and when I find them I'll email them to you along with some others also.

Do you think that possibly the pic took on a life of its own and it doesn't want the war paint anymore?? Just asking...

Honest, I will not 'war paint' anyone unless asked from now on. It was just so tempting because the girls were so playful that day. And you know how hard it is to keep hyper kids busy and turn destructive into constructive.. it was just a good idea then.

I have a special graphics directory and don't let Windows place any of my personal stuff under the default my pictures, my documents, etc directories. It still did not prevent me from the loss because I had to do a recovery.. that's why it's always a good idea to keep a re-writeable CD or DVD to update on a regular basis with your important files.

I think I'm ready to rest a bit now, Larry has been running around and growling - he acts like that when he's upset so momma has to soothe him too.

TTFN,

Goodnight Momma, sleep well. Goodnight Larry, cuddle with Momma, keep her safe. :)

G'nite Momma and Larry! I think Stwingy deserves another face painting... yep I do!

Stwingy deserves a butt whooping. Wait, he might enjoy that! :eek:

I was never upset with you Chery, I can't think of a thing that you could do that would upset me dear, nope never. I even gave you a greenie today... yep

Momma, I think Stwingy secretly likes having his face painted! Do it again Momma! We like teasing our bwother! We lub him... we weally weally do... but teasing him is fuuuunnnn!!

Hiya Stawby!! :p! Still teasing poow Stwinger? ;)

We won't tease you Unky Wunky... well for now! :p We don't want Momma to stress out too much! Oh, I borrowed your favourite toy... I will give it back if you give me your allowance! :p

Which one? The one which got ants in it? It'was in the garden sink, full of water to remove the poisonous spray to kill ants. Don't let Niki lick it!! I fear the worse.

Eeeeeekkkkk!! I've got Ants in my Pants! I'm itchy! Oh noooo! I took the wrong toy!

YouTube - "Ant Pasted" (1952) Warner Brothers

Starby, I know you love him and only are playing with him. And he's got such a big heart letting you girls get away with so much. I couldn't think of a better brother for you to have.

He's always there for all of us and I will always love him for that.

Jerry, yup, they love to tease him but it's all in good fun. How about volunteering one of your pictures so that we can 'paint' you too?
It's always fun trying out new things.. I just bet you put those ants out there beause you knew the girls would be curious.. ha,ha. You're a little prankster too!

Starby, that's what you get when you don't ask first. I know how tempting things can get, but trouble is also just around the corner, so be a little more careful from now on dear. If those ants bit you, put onion juice on, it will stop the itching right away - and old remedy but it works and the smell goes away quick, so don't worry.

Have any of you seen any funny shows lately? Tell me about them. I like funny shows and laughter does us all a lot of good.

Momma has to go and do some real work now while I can still walk a bit, my laundry stack is moving, so I have to find out what's underneath... has anyone see Alty?. Alty, are you under that stack of clothes? If so, then you can just move toward the washing machine and help me dump them in, OK?

C.U. later.

Here Momma C! This is a part of the email I tried to send you that you couldn't get. I just loved this lady! She died at 96, but was soooo funny!

Your are right, she was funny. At that age, everyone should have the right to tell it like it is,and not worry. That's real freedom.

How are the ants in your pants doing? I bet they made you dance like never before...

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_19.gif

Momma, you wanted a "funny:"

Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the Empire State Building drinking, when the first man turns to the other one and says: 'You know, last week I discovered that if you jump from the top of this building, by the time you fall to the 10th floor, the wind around the building is so intense that it carries you around the building and back into the window.'

The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the bar, but says nothing.

The second guy says, 'What? Are you insane? There's no way in hell that could happen!'

'No, no... it's true...' said the first man, 'let me prove it to you.' He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony and plummets toward the street below. When he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him around the building and back into the 10th floor window. He takes the elevator back up to the bar. He meets the second man , who is astonished.

'Oh my God, I saw that with my own eyes! But that must 've been a one-time fluke. That was scientifically impossible!'

'No, I'll prove it again,' says the first man as he jumps.

Again, just as his body hurtles towards the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries him around the building and into the window. He takes the elevator back to the bar.

Once upstairs, he successfully convinces his dubious fellow drinker to try it. 'Well, what the hell,' the second guy says, 'I've seen that it works, so I'll try it!'

He immediately jumps over the balcony - plunges downward rapidly passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors... . Then his body hits the sidewalk... . Splat!!!!!

Back upstairs, the bartender who had been silent the whole time turns to the first drinker, and shakes his head and says.....

'You know, Superman, you're a real a**h*le when you're drinking.'

Ok I'm just posting this for stringer:cool:

Now that, I didn't expect. It's the first time I heard that one. Cool!

Want to know how you can insult someone that tells bad jokes?
Just state that the last time you heard that one, you were still in diapers.

I heard that on a TV show today and almost cracked up.

Going to post some pictures that you could not open. By the way, if I send you the Jigs@w Puzzle, it will be an *.exe file that you will have to open, or I could send it through 'Yousendit.com' and you can download it that way.. Let me know which would work.

Awe, how cute. When I had a bunny, it never saw the outside. I had a cage and then also let it walk around the house and sit with us. She was a cute little one and clean too.

OK, now I'm going to post some pictures from the ArtRage2 Forum. This is the program that my daughter ordered for me today, and your finished products, when you are good at it, look like real oil paints, so I just wanted to share these which were uploaded by others with you. I already found a few styles that are my favorite...


So, here goes.. I named the files wrong, instead of lilies, they should be lotus.. but they are nice. The last one is by someone else and his style is also nice enough to want to escape into the scenes. Hope you like them.

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_9_16.gif

This one is from the artist who 'painted' the lotus too. I really like this one a lot. Going to make a jigs@w puzzle out of it. The artist calls him/herself Clown...

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_11_2.gif

Wow, Chery, love them. I love color, lots of color, so cheerful and happy. These made me smile. :)

I love all of those ones Cher! I love the Lotus pic of course, being the "flower girl", and the clown one is beautiful!

Here's another song for you! :)YouTube - Connie Talbot - I will always love you LIVE *High Quality*

Honey, that was absolutely super! I get newsletters from the Simple Truths too but I missed that one. Thank you for sharing. I can just see Alexander asking his mom to explain all of those... the sooner he starts seeing and learning about things like this in life, the better.

His other grandparents would also really enjoy that clip. Both are (were) teachers, grandpa a retired preacher too, and his Dad reads at least 2 books a week (my kind of guy) - I'm sure Alex will get a lot of wise nurturing in his life from all of those role models - and naturally the patient love and understanding from his Mom. Knowing that he will have all this support while growing up makes me feel at peace and secure that he's got a chance in life. What more can a grandmother want for her loved ones?

Don't be surprised that within 14 years, there will be a young 'newbie' on AMHD saying hi to his grandma's old friends and thanking you all for those wonderful post cards and other gifts. I keep copies of links to threads here for him to check out when he's old enough. And naturally, all of your cards and letters - heck he'll have a super collection all thanks to my AMHD family.

Just got my third infusion today and next is a CT to see if this regimen is worth repeating - they hope that my monster has slowed down a little. After all, I promised my brother that I'd still be here at Christmas when he comes over to visit me. And, I've got to keep my promises, sometimes not on time, but better late than never.

Enclosing two pictures that I got from my 'little' brother who lives in Vegas. He was at a friend's wedding in Hawaii at the time. He's my very own Care Bear!

Until next time,
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_15.gif

Hawaii is so beautiful and peaceful Chery. Every time I am there I am at peace and never wish to leave. Only a few places on earth like this.

I know that Alty will agree, she has been there too.

I've been there twice myself stringer , I love Hawaii :)

It is really someplace very special isn't it M... last time was our honeymoon for 16 days. It took me a day or so to really relax... but then it was like heaven on earth. Every day was exceptional, significant, unique, unusual, extraordinary, educational, memorable and very festive along with being peaceful. :):) I would love to be able to live there.

Until the day before we had to get ready to come back and I started thinking about business again... well you know how it is... :rolleyes:

Ah Hawaii, love it, love it, love it. I too went on my honeymoon, and believe it or not we actually did get out of the hotel room often enough to see a lot of Hawaii. :);)

I would go back in a heartbeat, but with two young children it would be hard. Maybe in a few years, when the rugrats are older. ;)

I landed there with my family on the way to Japan at the age of 10, so I did not get to see much of it. My brother Ed was in training there on a military base a while ago and he said it is expensive to live there. It was the first time there for John, as he was later born in Japan, so was Ed. I bet, because there just is no more room on an island for more real-estate, unless we build an underground(water) city. Imagine something like in 'Seaquest'.

Now, imagine Japan in the 60's, where the dollar was worth 390 Yen, too bad I was just a kid then and had two new brothers to care for. Didn't have much of a 'childhood' per say. School was fun and swimming every day of the year (no arthritis flares there). And I love the Japanese food and culture and still make my own sushi - also have a few material memory items from there. One of my favorites is a black Sake set with solid gold flowers on it. Going to let John (little brother) have it to keep as a family memory.

Just got done cleaning my email folders, and they really needed it. Had a long day, wonderful emails, and going to round off the evening playing a computer game that I got addicted to (Rebound Infinity). I use the 'kids' skill level where I don't lose a ball, yeah, I'm still a kid.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_1_112.gif
No way, boys... I use my tablet and pen, faster than a mouse and I always score high since my reaction is still good. Haha.

Glad Hawaii brings back nice memories for some of you, It is a beautiful state.

Night, night..

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_3_16.gif

Maybe after I retire in 20 years now that my 401K has disappeared Marta and I will meet you and Wiggy there...

"unless we build an underground(water) city. Imagine something like in 'Seaquest'."-Chery

Chery: Ah ha... another reason that I love you... .good science fiction burns in my heart; SG1, SG1: Atlantis, Star Trek Next Gen, Star Troopers (well maybe), and more...

Also like historical shows and anything archeological; Egyptian, Greek, Mayan, Aztec, Neanderthal... simply engrossing...

I'll be there Stringer, just say the word. Marta and I can shop all day, you and Wiggy can play golf and sit around the beach watching the babes walk by. Just remember that you can look but not touch. ;)

Oh, do you guys like my new signature? ;)

OMG, Stringer, get that clone of your's done NOW!

I love my pay TV National Geographic and the History channel too. And there is not one science fiction show that I have missed yet (at least the ones that are aired here). Andromeda is not bad either. I just love Richard Dean Anderson and Kevin Sorbo - wouldn't throw them off the bed.. yes I would because there's more room to play there. Seriously, I think both of them are great actors and don't cause a scene in public, plus have stable family lives... just like you my love. So hurry with that clone..

How about Jeremiah, now... that would be a wacky new world to think of if those greedy nuts keep ruining things for real with their New World Order crap. Let's find an Island and get 'Lost' too. But it's got to have all the TV shows saved on a huge computer that will last forever. We can choose which re-runs we want to watch after swimming and fishing.

What kind of shows does Marta like?

Who's Wiggy? Did I miss something?

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_17_4.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_17_5.gif We'll need these on that Island too.

Wiggy is Alty's husband Momma. LOL! I'll let Alty 'splain. She ran off with this crazy Wiggy character when no one was looking! ;)

Crazy Wiggy is right. ;)

How to explain? You see Momma C, when choosing my username I wasn't at all creative, you see, I didn't think I'd be here that long, ask my question, get an answer, leave. So, when I chose my username I figured I'd pick something I wouldn't forget, my last name. :(

When hubby was in school no one could pronounce Altenweg correctly, they said "Otanwig",before hubby knew it they shortened it to Wig, then started calling him Wiggy. That's how Wiggy was born.

When Wiggy was 19 he met a wonderful, gorgeous, intelligent, vivacious, absolutely terrific girl, 5 years later he married her.

So you see, Wiggy is my hubby, the lucky guy. ;)

And yes, I am that gorgeous, intelligent, vivacious, absolutely terrific, don't forget mother of his children, cleaner of his home, cooker of his meals, girl. Darn that man lucked out. ;)

Yes he certainly did luck out there my love. I bet he just gets a kick out of you and Starby's transition to children as much as I do. You are multi-talented and have a great big heart.

Thanks to you and Starby for setting me straight on this one.

Here I am, still on, and I was going to play a game..

I too started one day, found this site for an answer and look where it got me.. to this wonderful family and this thread that you and Starby did just for me. I think I found a home-away-from-home here, and appreciate the warmth and love I've received throughout the years. I admit, I'm Addicted! Addicted to the love and super support (let's not forget the postcards and wonderful gifts) from you, my wonderful AMHD family.

I've also enjoyed helping people solve their issues here to the point where I was promoted to an Expert by my peers - that was some super recognition which makes me still proud today. And I will keep on helping as many and for as long as I can. Momma C is never a quitter!
