    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhh Stringer!! I was hoping your days were getting better lately! That was funny, I have to admit but not happy your days have been like that lately.

    Oh, no one has pushed your beautiful car off a cliff yet have they?? Yikes

    Some times those helpful hands we try to give to others don't really help! LOL But intentions are good! :)

    Hey, there JJ.. glad you stopped by here. Are you done or taking time out to play with us for a while?

    Starby, guess what I call Larry most of the time... Bubba, Bubby, or Bubbers! It's amazing how we really do have a lot in common.

    Stringer, when I had my Jag, I had to travel 200 kilometers to get her checked out at a Jag dealer - and here in Germany, you'd have thought that the germans would learn how to repair more than their own kind of vehicles. Near Ramstein Air Force Base, there is a better selection of 'specialists' as mostly all of the military here usually purchase European cars to take home when it's time to leave. The top right now are Saab, Volvo, BMW, Mercedes and now Toyota... all with American specifications. You can tell which they are because the germans don't like it when the locals have tinted windows... they want to look in - and take better pictures at radar traps. But they cannot prevent non-locals from ordering their vehicles with tinted glass. That just makes me sad.. NOT. I hope that the weather is nice to you and your arthritis while out there taking care of business.

    Gosh, I'm grumpy today, and now even more... they have a Woody Allen marathon night on Turner Classic Movies (one of my original language channels) - and I never really liked him. Don't ask me why, but he never made anything 'click' movie-wise or actor-wise for me. But, you all know that I'm different, right?

    I sure wish that they would air bowling tournaments here. I miss that. I used to bowl myself from childhood on, no matter how painful it was, but I just loved it so. Later, when I couldn't bowl anymore, I coached kids on how to improve their games. Even enjoyed getting to know some of the military top bowlers who made it as television celebrities now.

    Outside of receiving and answering some nice emails from family and friends, nothing worked out as I planned - so forgive me if I am not in my best mood. I wanted to work on graphics, cut my hair, and get some sleep - all of which did not pan out. Instead of mind over body, this time the body won and it was not nice to me at all. This coming week, it's doctors, x-rays, blood tests, interview with a new nurse, getting new prescriptions and doing paperwork... just the thought is frustrating me. Sometimes, I just want to be left alone to relax and not have to worry about getting dressed and going out in all kinds of weather, waiting in lines with my oxygen cart - I don't even enjoy going shopping anymore..

    OK, Momma is done ranting. If I'm lucky, I might get a few hours of sleep before the phone or doorbell ring.. And I hope that I've still got my smileys after rebooting my PC as I just installed a new security program against virus, spyware and spam.. so cross your fingers for me.

    Thank you children for being nice to Momma C during this time and not thinking of any new pranks. That helped a lot.

    So, lots of hugs and kisses, until next time.

    Love,

    Chery, you vent anytime you want. I could feel your frustration all the way over here and just want to fly over there and take your place this week so you could rest, feel no pain, enjoy your computer, Larry, fun memories and photos, Alex, Jamie, get dressed only if and when you want to, not have to have oxygen and be totally pain free. I know these words carry little because I cannot do these things but I would venture to bet anyone on this thread would do this and more for you if only we were even in the same country as you and could take your pain. We could all take turns. It would bless you and bless us by allowing us to help in some way! We love you so much Momma C!! You seem to be becoming more of an earthly anchor than perhaps you even realize to all of us! You have so much knowledge and wisdom. If we could take your pain even just for one day, if doctors would and could, there would be some fast changes in the medical field I believe. Be grumpy any time you need to... we are here for you! You have been and are always here for us!!

    Stringer and M, you are the best! I know it was really difficult to be as good as you were and I am proud of you both also! You do remind me, however, a bit too much of my brother and his antics but I love you both anyway!! LOL

    The Best! The best brothers, the best friends, the best michief makers, the best Sheriff and Deputy, the best Protector and Angel... ah.. ah.. well, does that cover everything? You didn't take the girls fishing and let them fall face down in the mud then get so tickled you couldn't help them up before they started choking on mud, did you?? See what I mean about my brother? His best friend had to help me out of the mud from the waters edge!! Oh, I could tell you so many stories about my brother but I don't want to give you two any more ideas! LOL

    Don't think I didn't catch that little mischievous "hee hee" at the end of that sentence. We all love you all but we do know you are mischief makers and are always striving to improve. Right? That is what Momma C wants for us is to be the best we can be at whatever we be!! :)

    Yep, sounds familiar! Are you sure you aren't my brother's twin?? You are a loveable character, I give you that but I will let Momma C give her great wisdom when she gets back on the thread. She always knows the right thing to say... you know Rebbie, always the peace maker, well, sometimes the peace maker, well, I try to be peace maker... well, sometimes, I'm not. I am only when I'm not. How is that??

    That was funny!
    Thanks hon. I have seen a show like this on German TV and thought it was funny, didn't know there was a real show like this... have noticed that the Europeans like to play copy-cat to game shows and other popular shows on air. They have even started their own Soaps now.. yuck.. not my style -
    I'll stick to sci-fi and spy/detective series instead of soaps. Too bad Jerry has not hit the english-speaking programs here yet - would love to laugh at some of those people - I wonder where they get them from or who thinks of the subject matter... someone bored, yet talented enough to make money off this type of show.

    Have to get ready for a nurse and my companion today, so will check on you a little later,

    Hi my dear Momma C! I am just on my way to bed my sweets! I should have gone long ago actually, so my eyes are tired and blurry. I feel bad that I have only been sending you a few quick emails in the last few days! I'm just not too focused lately, and then get diverted onto all sorts of things, and feel I just don't get the things done that I'd like to!. like writing my usual letters to Momma!

    Today is going to be an aggrivating day, I can tell that already. Thanksgiving and guilt things! I just unplugged my phone because of calls, so maybe I can get a little sleep now. Cross your fingers!

    I hope your day goes well with your helpers, and I will write soon okay.

    ... oh and I'm sorry, your little girl loves her soap. The ones that are in Europe are a little different. Like Coronation Street... blah! I only watch one, but I have watched since I was 12 or 13, and even though it gets stupid, I just can't give it up! ;) Just another one of my many vices! LOL!

    Muchly!

    Stringer... that Italian son did a super job! That's what I would have done too - If you want things done, sometimes you have to use your imagination.

    Alex saw the real 'Knutt' in the Berlin Zoo last year - he's a little bigger now and still enjoying himself. That was a lucky little bear as he was rejected by his Mom and had a wonderful foster-dad. Not even all two-legged children are that lucky.

    Starby, I too like the US Soaps, but the only one they air here is Bold and Beautiful - you know, with Brooke? Since I have a few other things more important to do, I've stopped as they are a few years behind anyway. It's the German Soaps that get on my nerves - that's why I subscribed to the luxury of pay-tv.. my choice and no commercials, no biased news media that brainwashes either. I enjoy history channel and National Geographic - and naturally my Sci-Fi channel now. SpiderMan 3 is coming on this next Sunday, in german of course, but I'll enjoy it.

    I received my new Bamboo One Tablet and Pen today! Now I just have to wait until I'm feeling better to play with it. Not up to par these last few days and wish I could get some sleep without pain. I'm really sick and tired of being 'sick'. Glad that the day is over and I will have a fews days of peace without interruptions at the door or phone.. Maybe I can get some rest now.

    Start.. thanks honey, I know you are probably pretty busy but I also know that my 'warrior' is there...

    Talk to you later..

    Momma C, I really can't get into The Bold and the Beautiful, but I've seen bits and pieces. I sometimes watch a bit of The Young and the Restless, because we used to sit with Grandma and watch that and The Edge of Night, and Another World... which have been off the air for ages now. I watch Days of Our Lives... like I said since I was a kid, and I have to catch that one. ;)

    Unky, I don't think Stringer meant you had to condense all of your posts into one. I believe he probably was kidding with you, and laughing to himself, because every one he opened that day was a posting of yours. I've got it down to a pat myself. I know myself that if I get up early and there is a posting in the castle, Momma C's room, and a few others, that they will all be you, because of the time difference.

    I always enjoy getting my morning read from our Unky! Don't stop doing that... Starby won't have anything to read in the morning! :(

    Hi babies, missed you all. Could someone send post the link to this new 'room' please, because I'd like to see a picture of Chewy too.

    M. I like the Crocducky! but poor thing, how and what does this species eat?

    My fever finally broke and my tummy had an erruption - after a little baking soda - and I feel a little better. Now I just have to console myself that the moist weather out there will have fun with my bones. My new son-in-law also has arthritis and is in some serious pain - poor guy - but at least he has good physicians who found a med that works most of the time and he has learned to give himself his own shots. He didn't take his meds with him to San Fransisco, so now he's paying for it and I hope he's symptom-free soon. I had to remind Jaime that this is on both sides of the family, so when Alex complains - she should think about that and have him checked out - it could be more than just 'growing pains'.. Then I get the usual rolling eyes and 'yes, Mom' but at least it registers.

    I finally got a whole cup of broth down today and also 1 1/2 hrs of sleep. Wow, I feel almost new. Don't know who I got this flu from, but I plan on wearing a mask from now on when around other people. Instead of taking a nice trip, my little family was also at home fighting a flu - too bad they didn't get to enjoy the weekend as planned.

    OK, now I too understand about 'Thanksgiving'. When I was emailing about this, I thought wow, it's till so far away, now I know when Canadian Thanksgiving is, and I hope you survived it honey, with that family of your's - it's over now and soon will your pain of traveling so far- I hope!

    I'm sorry Momma! I should've posted the link before for you to find. Here tis!

    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/lounge...in-267812.html

    I didn't get to the lake, I wasn't feeling well among other things... but boy am I ever paying for it today! I not being let off the hook for this one, and there are always consequences for not doing what I'm TOLD! Yes I'm 4 yrs old!. in my parents eyes. Uurrgghhh! I need a nap... yes seriously I do!

    Yes, Thanksgiving is about a month earlier here. It's Columbus Day in the states. I don't really remember why, but whatever... LOL!

    My computer is being stupid again, I've had no phone service on and off since Sunday, and since my wonderful brother didn't bring over the smart card for my satellite receiver... that he got about 2 months ago... I now have no TV chanells! So limited computer and phone, and no TV makes little Starby a very unhappy girl! Now he isn't even in town, so who knows when all of this will be fixed, although I've been asking politely for months. Maybe politeness is not the way to go?

    I'm so sorry that you haven't been feeling well again. You don't need the flu on top of everything else. :( I'm glad you are feeling a bit better though. I wish Mother Nature would at least work with you! I know about the arthritis that comes with the damp or cold weather. I sure wish you could get down more than a cup of broth Momma! I wish I could make you your favouritist meal, and you could wolf it down! I would sing you a lullaby so you could get more sleep. Wait... that would probably have the opposite effect! LOL!

    Well I better go for now. I forgot I was suppose to call the vet today to try and make an appt for Nik tomorrow on short notice, as per instructions from Mommie Dearest! Sorry... I'm not in the best of moods! ;)

    Muchly!
