Wave at Molokai when you go past, I used to live there

The most I know about Molokai is that in the olden days when you went to other islands you'd have stop on Molokai so the plane could both disgorge and ingest passengers. I'm not even sure I ever got off the plane and touched the ground with my feet, although I landed there often enough.

I bet it's changed a lot.

Molokai and everything else! You have NO idea. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

After I've practiced in the mirror a few times, I'm even going to tell my husband about it.

OK, but I hope he's got a good sense of humor! I'm glad you liked it, though, regardless of what he thinks when he hears it. I think the next invention, for use when the sluts threaten to overpower the repellent, is some version of Raid, to be sprayed dierctly on the noxious pests themselves. Can't think of a good name for it right off the bat, though. Any suggestions? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

t&l, have a glorious trip! You won't be able to help but have a great time! Can't wait to hear the details!

On my break tonight, I'll come back and chew my cud for you, making a final rumination about this trip before I actually take it. After doing that, I certainly intend to have a good time, one way or another...but I hope no one is expecting some miraculous romantic rapprochement to result from this trip. I'd hate for you to be disappointed not to be welcoming home a pair of cooing lovebirds :rolleyes, when I'm coming back all happy just from completing 6 days without anybody wringing anybody else's neck!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Let's set realistic goals here, folks. I, too, believe in reaching for the sky. Maybe my sky is just lower than yours, that's all!

CSue, poor poor baby. I would have been upset, too, and doubt I would have handled it better. Differently, perhaps, but in a worse way. Loud announcement: "Honey, did you see the wolf in sheep's clothing? I wonder which lamb she'll try to eat next when she doesn't get anywhere with you?" Or maybe just skip straight to the full-body flying tackle. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi JLS, welcome! I for one didn't intend to desert I'ville. (Ha ha, I can call it that here.) First I had no way to compete with Robby's NZ jokes, then I've been busy. The rest of you slackers get back to work, too!

SS, glad to hear your vacation is going well. *waves* Still more pictures to come, once I figure out how to 'verticalize' them properly.

I had a very happy moment last night. I had already been asleep I don't know how long - one hour? two? - when AJ anuggled me up close and apologized again for hurting me. I'm really glad I woke up enough to remember it this morning. Though I'm too much of a realist to suppose that my resentment/anger are magically gone, at least for now they are at an all-time low. I think this will give me a little breathing room to do...I don't know, something good with my minds and thoughts. Perhaps build some better walls to keep out unnecessary evil thoughts. There are plenty of the necessary ones without adding extra, right? (And I do consider thinking of discarded adulterous prophylactics moldering at the county landfill to be unnecessary, unproductive, and downright harmful. ((Only one example of many that could be given.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)))

It is finally starting to sink in that I apparently have a whole new husband, and I find that I am able to put a teeny tiny bit of faith in him that he won't go back to being the [DJ deleted] that he was. I am still so detatched from him; that last go-round of C did almost more damage than the rest of the A, if that's possible. It accomplished good in that I donned the Cape of Power and used its full strength for the first time, but by then I really didn't care if he stayed or went because I was just so sick of him, of her, and of himandher. If he had left then I would not even have cried, although I still loved him.

We have both been very loving to each other in the months since, but I have been holding 99%+ of myself in reserve. (Which also seems to leave quite a bit of room for surplus resentment.) Not that I was faking or anything, but showing affection and being emotionally intertwined are very different and not always related.

Well, I'll have more to say later, but must get to bed early. I wasn't made to get up before 7, never mind before 5.

my minds

Minds? You have more than one? I always thought the expression, "I'm of two minds" was just a figure of speech.

Well, I'm sorry, but there's only one HAL flight daily out of Sacramento and they didn't ask me when I wanted it to be!

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

For larger problems than could be cured by over-the-counter remedies, just call SkankinX or Horkin. They take care of the infestation and leave bait stations outside the house to prevent a recurrence.

De-Skank-Con. Truth in labeling. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Goodbye, cruel world, I'm off to join the circus...
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

It's starting out well. GP's new tennis shoes, which were "too big" just 2 days ago, are now "too small." I think he's channeling his inner Goldilocks this morning. At least we found his photo ID, after a frenzied search while I was driving home from work. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> (I was frenzied. They were searching.) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />Help <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hi AJ,
How are you feeling about your W's feelings now days?

SS


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

Bad Neaksis! She (and AJ, too), were supposed to have let you know that the Hawaiians left and arrived ok. They are probably not much above existing right now, especially Mom. She drove from the airport, and was treated to a helpful driving lesson from her backseat driver. When I talked to her she was about 2 minutes from pulling over and letting him take a turn. So it's going about like you'd expect. Hopefully it will improve from here out.

Now it's 5:10 pm over there and they're all ready for bed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Not that I'm not sleepy, too, but IT'S ONLY SUPPERTIME FOR THEM!!!

Hey,
They can always go to bed early. We used to do that a lot before we had kids.

SS

PS - What I mean is, after you have kids, the kids keep you up. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Neak,
I am so glad AJ give you a happy moment (as you reported.) Expect more of them, it should get better.

You already know this, but much of the change is taking place inside your head.

It's good to see it happen.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Correct as usual, SS.

Today is going to be super busy, so it will probably be afternoon or evening before I can get back on again. So it is only a time shortage, not a word shortage.

Hardly worth more than a post-script this time, but we received a certified letter from the Stirrer of Pots. It was addressed to Mr. and Ms. AJ. Apparently she choked on the r. It is a proposal for a new payment arrangement, which if signed, would agree that we are personally liable for the corporate loan. We will find out how much it would be to just have the lawyer handle the response.

I don't even feel like breaking chairs in Idiotville this time.

It is very chilly this morning, and tut-tut it looks like rain. Brrrrr. But I am always happiest when it rains and wilt when it gets too hot. (The only adult interjection time has made into my childhood preferences is that I don't like having children, dogs, and even husbands tracking in mud.)

It's almost time to leave, so I'd better at least get dressed, although my flannel pajamas are adorable.

Hey all you Seventh Day Adventists!

Good Morning America said that you all live longer than people of other religions!!

10 years on average! The study they quoted attributed it to your healthy eating habits of being vegeterians, and your life culture - how much time you spend investing (emotionally & spiritually) in your families and your community!

Congratulations!! I believe it, having learned about you though this thread! They said there are a large population of you around Loma Linda - (wherever in CA that is?).

Cool!
