Oh Bob !!

what a delicate way to ask, Am I up the duff or what indeed heh heh heh you've been near to many Aussies LMAO <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

YES ...confirming with blood test but home kits are pretty darn accurate.

Sort of confused at the moment but its MY babe if its true. I guess everything will come after that but hoping Aussie will be happy and not annoyed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Anyway the Tri Nations was a lot more enjoyable to watch.
With the Wallabies I think the play was pretty scrappy from the Aussies overall. If England had a good runner we'd have been toast.

Nite all

over my bed time so have to hustle.

have fun all!!

AW, I can't imagine a good man lke Aussie being upset by a new baby.

I pray he will welcome the news and the baby anyway !

Night Night

AW -

Sheesh, I leave for awhile, and what happens? Idiotsville's first baby! And to make it even more incredible - the WHOLE WORLD knows before papa. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Congraulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bartender, hold the drinks for AW.

Hey freaks.

Been about the worst week of my life. Better watch statements like that, or God will show me how it CAN be worse.

Got divorced on Monday, discovered more lies and more lies and more lies, total and blatant disrespect of me, eyechart casting me in a poor light to others (despite my OVER THE TOP kindness, that [censored] so did not deserve, but I did anyway out of the call to be a kind and gracious Christian woman), and finally, after telling him already 49 times over the course of the last 3 weeks, that he had to GO.

He is gone.

Now I get to worry about recoverying my life as a single person, who does not want a life anymore with this man. He is a first class liar, a cheater (cheating on his girlfriends now), and just about to be a drunk (he is drinking heavily now). Who is this man? This is not the man I spent the last 10 years of my life with.

Or is it?

How are you all?

Still putting together my 3 idiotic things (too many to choose from!) but wanted to say AW my last little guy was born when I was 37ish. Congratulations!!

Hey, can I be the 411 information lady? Since I don't know anything I would be great at that job!

Ok here we go three idiotic things I have done (that I can admit without too much embarrasment)

1. Forgot to put the top on the coffee percolator and decorated the kitchen with coffee

2. Went to the ATM with my DS in the van (he is in a wheelchair)with it running and accidentally locked the van. I had to call the fire department to open the van for me. (good thing the AC was going) That was public humiliation! LOL

3. Forgot to drain the water before putting the sauce on the spaghetti. (can you tell I am not much in the kitchen, should I apply for chef instead?)

Thanks for the chance to play, good to laugh now and then too.

I like that, 411 info lady.

Something Idiotville needs. A little bit of idiot direction, a place to call for the "answers" to our questions.

dipiT - I have been following your story and really have no advise. Just realize that the pain doesn't go on forever.

Where is everyone? The rest of Idiotville must be getting a life.

Evening everyone!

Hey Bob - Such a sensitive guy!!! Up the duff or what... now there's an expression if I ever heard one!

Hey Believer - Night shift reporting in... how've you been doing?

Hey ST - sorry about your sit... Things WILL get better!

Hey FF - I think you should be our short order cook AND the answer lady!!! We can all call you with our cooking questions!

Hey Believer,

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I have no life!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> (LIT jumping up and down)!

FF - I like the 411 thing......Operator, may I place a call???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

SerendipiT - I know your pain. And I feel your pain often. But I am 3 months out from H and I separating. I will tell you that is does get better. Albeit that won't help your feelings right now.

Something that helps me get through those feelings of despair, loss, and misery are realizing what those feelings are and what they mean. For instance, the initial days and days of crying......they were my withdrawal. They were my grieving the loss of hope. They were my way of initially "moving through it." Had I not sobbed uncontrollably, I would have stuffed and repressed those feelings. And ended up reliving them later.

I also realized that the more I let out, and the more I "felt" (even if it were sad, miserable, lonely, down, depressed, and hopeless), the more it meant that I was "dealing with" my pain.

And honestly, each time I get past one of those episodes (my recent one Thanksgiving Day), I feel better, stronger, and more secure with my decisions and my path. Like the triggers for an A, those times will gradually lessen in frequency, and intensity.....they might not ever go away, but they will become much more manageable.

You will get through this. Go ahead and feel the pain. Allow yourself to grieve. Don't be afraid of it. But don't wallow in it. Make sure to take steps to live life - even if it doesn't feel like you enjoy it yet. Go do something you like (for me it was go-carting by myself <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ). Go to lunch or dinner with friends. Redecorate your house. Buy yourself something new. Recreate YOUR life.

It may not feel like it's doing any good for a while. There are still times I force myself to go out even when I don't want to. But life is meant to be lived not watched.

(((((((((((((DipiT)))))))))))))))

You will get through this <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" /> And you will find happiness once again.

Hey RIF.....

Did'ja get to that elbow yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

And yes, I do have experience with that (head hanging in shame <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> )

Everytime I see your initials, I think of Reduction In Force.....can you tell I used to work for the government? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> That was one phrase that never got "put away." Ugh!

You aren't missing much over here.....cold and rain. Cold and Rain. COLD and RAIN! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I can't stand it anymore!!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Going to eat some soup for dinner, me thinks!

**Ring, Ring** - and suggestions FF? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Okay, I'm back!! Thanksgiving is over and now I must enter one of the two horrible busy seasons of my life. (Christmas and the month of May) Of course, I love Christmas. Love to decorate, wrap gifts, etc, but all the concerts and public appearances we have to do are exhausting. I am usually too tired to enjoy my own Christmas.

Not too bad a weekend - IB (Iceberg) for the newbies - was mostly ok this weekend. I remembered the last trip out there and tried to do things differently. So I stayed away from him, didn't try to begin conversations, spoke when spoken to, if he was in one place I made sure I stayed in another. Tried to be pleasant and helpful without being in his way. Now he'll probably tell Curly that I was a B this weekend - wouldn't talk, avoiding him, etc. No matter what I do, it isn't right. I so yearn for a turning point - all these other people have had one, and are working on recovery - why not me?

Congratulations, AW and welcome to all the newbies who arrived while I was gone. We are all idiots here. Welcome. If you're not an idiot, I'm sorry, but you will have to leave before sundown tomorrow. Our attorney general will enforce this. So prove your idiocy or else. Gotta go.

Well, an update on another item - killed a 9 point this weekend. Pretty nice deer. I guess I'll get to eat some venison sometime this week.

See you guys in a few minutes - must go wash more laundry. I had 16 pages to catch up on before I could post. Night crew - slow down a little!! Good Lord.

Hi L.I.T - It's raining over here today... now instead of it being dusty, it's just cold and muddy!

Hey Starz - Congrats on the Bambi!!!! My brother and brother-in-law are both big hunters. My little nephew shot his first doe a couple of weeks ago... They've been sending me some bambi jerky and it's so yummy...

Sure would you like advice about decorating your kitchen ceiling with spaghetti sauce or how to cook a frozen pizza with the cardboard still on it? I am great at opening cans of soup though!

Hey RIF - Hope you are keeping your head down. I heard about something being blown up over there today. Hope you will be home soon.

Rocky Mountain Idiot, reporting for duty.

It is a COLD, SNOWY, blustery, wintery night tonight in the rocky mountains, but so far our Broncos are still spanking the Raiders 10-7 (BTW, aussieswife, that's American football for ya). Thankfully, I am warm and cozy in my house, but outside the snow is fluffy and sparkling and quietly blanketing EVERYTHING.

So how is everyone tonight? AW--congrats on the bun in the oven. I'm impressed. You know, if Aussie is like every man I've ever known, his heart will stop for a minute and THEN he'll be thrilled. Just mention what a stud he is, and he'll be fine! heehee <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Want to hear about my idiotic thing I did today?? I ate a burrito with NO NAPKIN!! I had burrito all over my hands and face, AND I save a little on my shirt for later (blushing). Oh well! Note to self: when you eat a burrito, use a napkin!!!


CJ

Snow? Yikes. It was about 75 degrees here today in Southern California, and I went swimming in the ocean. Also went fishing and caught a bunch, cleaned them and ate them. Yum.

Hey FF - Have you ever made cheese toast and left the plastic on the cheese???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> (I have!)

Hi Believer - so what kind of fish did you catch??? That's one thing I miss... can't wait to get back and hit Toledo Bend....

CJ - As long as you wear a burrito colored shirt, it shouldn't matter, right?

I once made some brownies from a box.....accidentally cooked the icing instead of the brownie! That's when I decided from scratch was good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Ate some beef stew I had made, and let my bread machine make some Hawaiian Sweet Bread.

(wonder if everyone here thinks I am 600lbs with how much I talk about food *blush*)
