GOOD MORNING ALL!

~~~It's so good to be in the neighborhood~~

Can we say: Good morning Stringer? Now, let's look in our magic mirror...

Who is that bright eyed and bushy tailed person looking back at you?

IT'S YOU!! Aren't cha glad to be alive? Aren't just happy to have friends and be a friend?? Aren't you just delighted with how you look this morning... puppy??

NO...........I haven't had 3 cups of my coffee YET !!!!!

Yea I only got up a couple of hours ago I was already starting to get dark lol, :)

Hi stringer, to bad about the coffee :D

Stringer · Jan 25, 2009, 10:26 AM

Good morning to you Bear and Start. I am doing fine this morning although it is 11:15 pm already.

Start I hope your stuffy nose feels better... mom always said; VICKS! For me it is similar to my sinus headaches and I take a swig of very hot coffee and hold it in my mouth, the heat loosens it all up. OR, stand in the shower and let very hot water run on your face and on the back of your head...

Don't forget to may another appointment with my receptionist on your way out and my bill will be in the mail... ha ha.

Marta wants to go shopping today... there's a twist (being funny, don't tell her that I said that... K?) Actually, she wants me to buy a new bomber leather jacket (black or rusty brown). And I still have two gift cards to Mens Warehouse and she wants me to use them before they might go out of business too... probably not, but you never know??

I would enjoy just taking it easy around the hiouse today... but.

Well, we haven't heard anything new about Gerald my friend as yet. If we can get in to see him we will also do that today. But if he is still in Intensive Care they won't let us see him. I am waiting for his daughter to call me...

Have a good en...

You too stringer, don't worry I won't tell marta :)
Maybe there is wisdom in her taking you shopping, getting you out of the house and getting your mind onto different thngs, might be a nice break :)
Sorry to hear about your friend, hope everything turns out all right :)
Cya later I've got to go out for a bit, enjoy the rest of your day
You too start :)
Laters.

Awww,crap, I just posted in the damn political boards... I shouldn't have, WHY DID I DO THAT??

Hey Stringer, go be a good man, have some yummy snaks and a cup of coffee, bring your Sunday paper an a good read, let her do her magic, then go home have a good dinner, then hit the hay;)
Look, I planned your whole day for you...
Bear, alreaddy getting dark, well then you know it is almost time for bed so you can get your body to get good rest;)

Stringer · Jan 25, 2009, 10:37 AM

Thanks Bear.

I have found over the life of this wonderful marriage that she is a very deep and caring person... she just keeps setting that bar higher and higher... like most good women (that obviously includes you Start). She really is the "glue."

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 10:37 AM

Artlady... if you see this, I think you are wonderful. Sorry about the Obama please stand up thread, but we all got to say our piece (peace) right;)

You're a lucky man Stringer, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You found yourself a keeper, and so did Marta. :)

I'm on my second cup of coffee, but for some reason it's not working. :(

Starty, we all have different opinions, that's what this place is about. I know you, you're a sweetie, I'm sure Artlady knows that too. Don't worry okay? :)

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 11:24 AM

No worries, just I like her.
I like all of you even though we all are DIFFERENT!
I value our difference is the best quote ever and I use it frequently;)

Alty, I want to have another cup too... oh wait its sitting right next to me. GULP

Alty · Jan 25, 2009, 11:29 AM

Cheers Starty! Can you do cheers with coffee? Oh well, Cheers! :)

I'm getting another cup, maybe I can get a buzz going. :)

Also, I love our differences too, that's what makes the world go round. We're all so very different and that's what makes us so interesting. I just never know what any of you will say, I love that, you all keep me on my toes. :)

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 11:31 AM

WE keep YOU on YOUR toes? Can we reverse that? LMAO Funny Alty, really funny.

I am happy right now, I remembered to get the kids shoes washed before it was too late to set them out to dry;) Oh yes, my brain is in working order!

Alty · Jan 25, 2009, 11:33 AM

More coffee Starty, it will kick start your brain, that's why I'm drinking it! ;)

WE keep YOU on YOUR toes? Can we reverse that? LMAO Funny Alty, really funny

Okay, I admit, I have my moments. ;)

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 11:35 AM

Ya, you do.
I want the people that live in my house to stay gone for a little longer... is that wrong?

Alty · Jan 25, 2009, 11:39 AM

No, not wrong, human. I feel the same way. ;)

Sydney was supposed to be grounded yesterday because she had a bad day on Friday. Hitting, screaming, whining, not listening. Her punishment was to completely clean her room, wash the walls (she painted them with finger paint) sweep the floor and wash it, and also remove her bedding (also has paint on it).

Now, here's the kicker. I'm a pushover. Her friend called and asked if Sydney could go to a movie with her and her mom. I thought about it, and agreed. Why? Syd was whining, didn't want to do her punishment and this way I could get her out of the house for at least 2 hours. Bad mommy. :(

Today I'm putting my foot down! I think. ;)

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 11:44 AM

Ohhh, yes ALTY... we all feel like it would be easier to get rid of the problem rather than address it. Been there done that, but this last few years, especially these last couple I have been on this site... well, I have made some major changes. One thing still hasn't worked... and that is getting my two older kids to at least pretend they love each other at LEAST 50% of the time... Now that would be a time worth celebrating;)

Stringer · Jan 25, 2009, 11:50 AM

It all comes together, given time.

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 11:52 AM

I know that from experience from my siblings, I just wish they could pretend while they are children, so I wouldn't get so frustrated... Grrr

Alty · Jan 25, 2009, 12:03 PM

I feel the same way Starty.

I don't have a point of reference for siblings, I'm an only child, Hubby's sister is 17 years older than him, moved out when she was 18, so for all intents and purposes he was raised as an only child too.

This sibling thing is confusing. Sometimes they adore each other, other times they want to kill each other. Kids! ;)

startover22 · Jan 25, 2009, 12:07 PM

Yup, when I was younger, my older brother by two years tormented me... I mean it was bad, not that I didn't annoy him, but his actions were horrible. I just know my oldest son wants his sister to just BE QUIET and when she won't, and he asks a million times, he gets pissed off. I understand where he is coming from, but he needs to be the OLDER one. She needs to be quiet sometimes... Hmmmph, I think we will be talking when they get home;) Won't they just love me! Bwwwahahahaha
