I have to make a flour baby this weekend. Son has to carry it around next week as a project for school. I guess I can tell him it's not a 5 pound doll...it's a 5 pound action figure.

When this one arrived a few days ago DD19 declared, “He is mine! I will name him Pinocchio and he will become a real boy!” Oh how funny. Your DD is a girl after my own heart, Chrisner. I can't however, for the life of me, understand why a grown man wants to have little fake man holding gun. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> J/K Cinderella, why can't you just tell him it's a baby? Is the project about caring for babies? Nurturing? I think it's good for little boys to learn how to love and care for babies, in the same way that girls do by playing with their dolls. Does he have little stuffed animals that he likes to hug and cuddle?

A police officer was killed here in the line of duty Friday.
I put the black band on my dearest man's badge this morning.
All I can think about is making certain he knows how much we love him forever and ever.
I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. My Story Recovered!

Oh no. I'm sorry, Kimmy. You are blessed in so many ways, but you have worries on your head...you are a strong, noble and very beautiful person.
Police Officer's wives
Firemen's wives
Soldier's wives
Fishermen's wives
Miner's wives
It takes a certain kind of woman to hold up the worries they live with, day in and day out.

UPDATE! He was not old enough. Had a 19 or 20 year old daughter and a 12 year old daughter. The oldest one has been overseas since August. When she left, her dad was healthy. Today, another friend had to call her and tell her that her dad had just died.
Please pray for his family. My gosh... ...I'm sure this is just coincidence, but I just learned this weekend that a well-respected individual in my "interest community" that I knew of but didn't know personally, also passed away on Thursday. He was only 50. (correction: It was reported Thursday, but he passed away the week before. Sorry, folks) -ol' 2long

I often have a hard time knowing what to say when these things happen. Most often there is not much a person (meaning me,) can do except pray for those affected.
Wishing everyone well.
2long, thanks again for coming by, it is always good to see you. I hope you got a little emotional rest on the trip, I doubt if you were able to catch up on your sleep though.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Faithful, we saw "My fair Lady" on Friday night. It was a pretty good show (live).
Did you guys go out over the weekend?

My Fair Lady, good choice SS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
No dates, nada recently. He has over committed himself to everyone but me of late. I got a sincere apology but that doesn't make up for the lost time. sigh.......

Doesn't put much love in the love bank.
Does he understand the MB concepts?

So sad.......... we continue to pray for your family.
It has to frustrate you.
I know the MB tools work - I wish everyone would use them.
Here - have a Lindt Dark Chocolate Truffle - sometimes it helps.

Baby is named Chloe....does that look strange to anyone....
Anyway, we didn't have any bags of flour and I needed to go to the grocery store to get one until I found a bag of corn meal.....so, the baby got a middle name. She is

Weaver, fill me in on the cat....Coco Channel or Coco Chanel. I assume it is female. Spayed? Color? Idiosyncracies?

Weaver, fill me in on the cat....Coco Channel or Coco Chanel. I assume it is female. Spayed? Color? Idiosyncracies? You are right, see I can't even spell her name. She is brindel or perhaps calico, but more of a brindel. She is five years old and very tiny. She was rescued from a garbage bin, almost dead when I got her from the no-kill shelter. Terribly sick with a respiratory infection. She is a mama's girl, a talker (only her voice is skeaky like a mouse) She has a problem of when I go out of town for a few days of peeing in the bathroom. And yes that is a real problem. She is scared of birds. If I don't get up when the alarm goes off she bats me across the face with her paw. Then she gets right down next to my face and gives me eskimo kisses. I don't know Cinders... Well she is declawed and spayed. Hi Just J!
