what, just one post so far today!?

We are falling down on the job!!!

Gosh, I hope it doesn't have anything to do with the kids COOKING!

BTW, I started the attempt at chili before I took the medicine which was before i searched the internet and read the side effect percentages.

I have a newbie question, I guess you might say. Is there a way to follow these threads aside from going to the index and clicking on them?

Other forums I know have chat, but I think these longer threads are the 'chat' rooms of this site?

Just curious.

Yep, no chat rooms here. This one, and Idiotville, and some things get thru the fog, and a few others are as close as we come to chat.

evening all

hows all the neaks, cinders, & B and welcome to moveforward <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Neak on being blessed with babysitting ...hehehehe BEEN THERE lately ....love it but the peace & quite after is also nice.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Well still no word from Aussie or his team - 26 days now - so we are all settling in for a long worrying period of no contact. Sorta sucks but as least we would know if they were NOT ok I guess. So the silence is reassuring in a way.

New years nearly here, DD is singing tonight so that will be an experience ...she is cool as a cumcumber ...while I'm nervous?????????? lol mummy is a bit overprotective I think ... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

She has been going to rehersals ,, the songs they want her to sing are - have'nt heard of 2 & 3 I dont think but I'm so proud of her I could bust ...I asked the Music director if i could get a copy of the recording for Aussie he told me he'd do that for me and try to cut our some the background noise for Aussie as well but it would depend on how loud the crowd were near the mikes ...oh well anything would be ok but he's pretty confident we will get a good result if a bit noisy!

Not sure what order they are supposed to be -- I was told to be surprised!! I HATE that !!! lol

Hero
I believe I can fly
I give my love 2U
Mt heart will go on
One night without you
Predictable
When the war is over

If I get them I'll send them to any who want ..I think they should compress ok for email

Nice songs, AW. I know you have heard I believe I can fly. Even I know that one.

Those kids had better stay out of that kitchen, after I spent all that time cleaning it up, instead of my own, which is still a mess!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> (I'm very territorial about my efforts! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />) They don't need cooked food. I cooked for them at lunch. They can have peanut butter and crackers for supper.

Outside.

In the driveway.

On the gravel. So what if it's dark. How much light do you need to eat peanut butter, anyway? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Leave the kitchen alone! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

t&l

P.S. Lucky for them--I'm safely at work 70 miles away and harmless, as far as their food is concerned. Next time I clean the kitchen I'm going to go around and pee on all the appliances so my territory is more clearly marked, and safe from intruders. So there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Let THAT be a lesson for you not to do things out of sequence! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

P.S. I've been in a bad mood all day, for a variety of things plus Flard's leaving, and since nobody was talking, didn't feel like talking to myself. Now I'm chattier, but at work, with a patient who just might possibly feel that some of my attention should be directed towards her. Honestly! People are so self-centered! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Now which wise woman once said
You can't change him you have to accept he will go his own way until he wants to change ??????????????????????????????????

He loves his mum & family, can't change him tl...his mistakes are his own even if mum sees the reef ahead ..sometimes he's just got to hit it.

Feel much the same way about my DS and the Army ... but what can I do? Why can't I ground him anymore? it sucks big time.

Well at least he is home today ...sometime .... if he REMEMBERS to come home ... a phone call would be nice .... a letter .. a email .... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

hey gang, I tried calling EVERYONE's phone, but no one answers! Neak's number that I have says it has been disconnected... guess I need to get a new phone number on her. I did remember Diva #2's birthday is today which is why I'm trying to call. If she's not in bed already, call me on my cell so I can wish her a beauticious end of her b-day!!! ALso, if I had remembered earlier, I would have sent something <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> my pre-new-year's resolution is to keep up with birthdays. Thank goodness I haven't broken it yet because the new year isn't here yet <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> haha! Neak wrote out everyone's b-day on a piece of paper when I was vising this summer, and I have it in my wallet to view <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> there's just way too many of ya'll tho <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Flard emailed me yesterday, saying he was going home early? What was that about? I haven't read the last few pages, been so busy, so if you've already talked about it, I'll find it eventually so don't re-tell again.

and p.s. if I don't get to talk to her, please give her all my love and wish her the biggest happiest late-b-day for me, ok? Something to the effect of, "I love you... you are a wonderful beautiful little lady... I am so proud of you..." etcetcetc because I mean it all from my heart. I am very effusive in my words of affirmation <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and I just tried calling one hospital to see if you, T&L were there, but nope. You must be at the OTHER one where i DON'T have the phone number to it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> boy, am I scoring lucky on reaching NOBODY on the phone tonight!!! Guess I will talk to you guys later.

Mummies ESP must be working..my wonderful DS rang me & said he was at Hungry Jacks [Burger King] with that other woman - just not sure what other woman - red dress or white lace or ????? -

mummy DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW WHATS HE'S DOING

As long as he comes home for dinner - he said he would - then I can be a classic avoider and not talk about his behaviour - not that it would do any good -

ARE YOU SURE I CAN'T GROUND HIM ????????

Mikey wouldn't do that to mummy would you sweety? no ..see he's my angel <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

GJen, you can call Mom at work tonight, 209-668-5214.

I have NO idea, AW! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Some dope, no doubt. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> What I DO know is that I have an enormous appreciation for what I put my parents through when I was a young adult. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> My poor mother was more of a worrier than I am, which is saying a LOT. I'm surprised she survived to 89 years of age. I'm suprised her mind lasted as long as it did. I'm surprised her internal fret-er and stew-er didn't blow a fuse, a gasket, and a cork. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Mothers deserve medals, they do. Let's award ourselves some. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

OooooooooK we don't need to go there lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> glass houses and all that hahahhaha <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I just got home from the concert - WOW s all I can say. DD was so good if a little hoarse by the end but oh so good!!
Well mummy thinks so!! as does the family.

I think I may have encouraged her into the wrong career!!!
But then again not many make it in the singing world so perhaps its for the best ... but WOW
Her voice is slightly more ..well I suppose mature than 12 months ago ...maybe the singing lessons she has been getting from the teachers at Variety Club has done that I don't know... you guys are the musical ones would breathing techniques etc change that?

Anyway she got lots of clapping & whistles especially from the horde of young teens there - she looks so young - actually she can look mature then so young by her expressions and changing her hair for whatever she is doing and that came across really well. My baby girl!!

She didn't look or act nervous but told me later she had been ... she has gone out with her girlfriends for a few drinks and will taxi home later tonight with 2 of them.

The whole choir was so good with a number of singers doing solo's. It was fun. The whole family thought it was a good night and we were all so proud of her. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The tech there did a recording and will have it tomorrow so maybe in a day or so I can send it to you...He said he should be able to filter out some of the crowd noise but dont expect miracles .... what a nice man. Mum said we should get him a nice bottle of wine which I thought was a good idea..in fact his wife too..she did the lights which were very well timed. Anyway we'll see.

Mikes asleep at last so I'm off to bed ..

have a good one <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
[did you notice I was a bit excited lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />]

and oh yes .........




I agree totally.

Please be sure you have some diamonds and emeralds and sapphires on mine.

And, while it is being designed, please send the chef, maid, and massage therapist over daily. Deliver the bills for them to the Bureau of Stupid WSs. They should pick up the tab. (Emphasis on STUPID because some of them do see the light - let the foggy ones pay.)

I think the stupid ones are often broke. Or at least they claim to be when it comes time to support the ones they left behind. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> The Marriage Builders Mafia Collection Agency...
