Hi AJ,
This is a post and run, cause my W just called me, but I hope all is well, or close to it at your house.
Hi T&L,
I've been praying for you.
Are you OK?
I don't mean "will you be OK," or "This is a standard greeting."
I want to know how you are.
My W really did call, I need to go.
Hi everyone, see you later.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

I did get some rest, and normally we take turns chopping wood. I know you must be surprised, but sometimes he chops, too. AJ laughed waaaaay to much at my bitter grumblings that any fireplace romance would have to be all about him, under current circumstances. I have never ever been so deprived as during the last just-over-a-month. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> At least he's having a good time.

Watch out for big black monsters, whether they are yours or somebody else's.
Grrrr. The Dervish just blew out my baby fire, so I'm going to have to go restart it.....again.

Well yes neak I was thinking he was going to do a runner on that wood chopping!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Boys WILL be boys neak!!! lol I remember AUSSIE HAD TO CHOP about 10 jarrah tree rounds most cool mornings ...we didn't have electric heaters or gas heaters just slow combustion stove that DID NOT WORK to heat the house ..... Of course it did not help that the Army placed the house OVER a stream did it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> It was a good idea at the time. Ever had to cook on a wood fired oven..sounds romantic doesn't it? NOT !! lived & got warm on love lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> well some more deep thoughts from days gone by .... My husband can't sleep. - con't this is what I have been able to piece together ..
My H and his team had fought a Taliban group some minutes before. He and his men moved on past the fallen Taliban moving quickly towards the sound of helo's coming closer. All around them, the land was lit by the massive explosions impacting on the airfield and military base. One of his men described it as a massive fireworks display…..except they were inside it.
The helo’s landed to picked my H & his team up & my h got his men moving towards it running. His Sergeant turned around to my H and told me he watched my H’s face suddenly contort and change. My H stumbled forward one last step and collapsed into his arms. Both of them fell down.
My H has told me jokingly he felt a hot then cold burning slice into his back and leg, he had a flash of thought. "Not that fu*king leg again," ... then a dry earth smell and taste of sand and he thought, "Fu*k"...and then all faded into darkness. Nothing. He can't remember anything else.
They thought he had bought it. He says by pure luck, he was still alive, I think God was holding him very tightly that day. I dont know if I want to know anything else. Its enough or too much.

Wow, it's hard enough reading that about Aussie when I only know him through the keyboard. I can't imagine reading that about my own H. And yet if it happened, I think I'd rather know than not know.
Thank you for sharing with us.

he had a flash of thought. "Not that fu*king leg again," What do you mean " again?" How many times has this man done this sort of thing? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I'm surprised you aren't a blithering idiot by now! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l P.S. Sweetie, there are thousands of dollars riding on today's work. I hope it starts early, lasts late, and goes well. If your brother's still there to help, wake him up. If he doesn't want to wake up, call me and I'll wake him up for you.

Well, girls, I've done it! I've found poor, dead Kewpie's Ms. Arabia. I know her address. I know her telephone #. Same birthdate, same name. I'm going to send her a certified letter with a few items of proof in it, but hold off on all his memorabilia until I'm sure it would be given to little Burma as a memento of her dad. I'm thinking it's time for a new saga here pretty soon, although I've still got one last episode of the Hawaii trip to tell. Anybody up for another extremely weird, long, perhaps even "verbose" ( <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />, Gell) story? Kewpies Kaleidescope of Knots... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> t&l

What do they call it when it's all the same letter, but not alliterative? I really don't know. If you see this before I get ahold of you, I got good news at the doc's, then bad news again when I got home. If I'm still having trouble tomorrow, I'm supposed to stop eating and drinking. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Oh, just that I was not bleeding at the doctor's, except for a teeny discoloration on the glove, and had started up again by the time I got home.
If I am still bleeding in the morning, I am almost guaranteed a D&C for Christmas, oboy. Thus no eating and drinking, so she can do the procedure the same day.
Good grief!?! How am I supposed to fit in the meeting with the teacher, the appraisal, the heater guys coming back out, AND a yucky medical procedure, all in the same day???????? Even with Neaksis' help, that's pretty tough, since she also has to coordinate with an orthodontist appointment in the morning, and picking her kids up from school in the afternoon.
Hopefully I will just stop bleeding and slip back into the wait-and-see mode. That would be by far the most convenient.

AW - I just took 2 classes on MS Access. Unfortunately I need it now, and have forgotten EVERYTHING.
Neak - Take care of your health. Maybe the Dervish can let the appraisers in. While they are there, he can let the heater guys in. And maybe he can go talk to the teacher.

ROFL, that would be the day. Have any of you ever read the classic short story, "The Ransom of Red Chief"? The Dervish often reminds me of the little boy from that supposedly fictional tale.
I'll try to find it later and post a link.
Don't worry, AW, I'll get it done if I have to, but you won't find me complaining if they say it's not necessary, either.

Yep - I remember that one - a GREAT story.
But seriously - take care of your health first. I know the appraisal is important, so see if SOMEONE can be there for that.
Fixing the heater is necessary, but you've made it this long, so probably can postpone.
The teacher will understand too, if you have to put off the meeting.
