Hows that for a wonderful design !! With all of that and still a new little life is born.!!

maybe she should cease at 5 perhaps? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Though given the right circumstances I ...... well ain't gonna happen <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

cinders ..how you been??? Did your kids cause too much of a ruckus at the Museum? Hope not but the grown up stuff is just SO boring to them 90% of the time.

I guess same does for their stuff on my side .
I remember being a so cool mum trying to sing Coldplay's, "We Never Change". You know those lyrics which go "Oh, and I don't have a soul to save
Yes, and I sin every single day." [Well I know them NOW!!]

I thought said "Oh, and I don't have a dong to ring
And I ring every single day." yep mamas cool alright

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.

T&L,

I hope that baby lives to be 98 and has bunches of granchildren.

Some miracles have very long-term effects.

Somebody's in charge.

I think she's already figured that out! As she was transferred to post-partum, I held the door open for her and said, "When you have that little boy next year, be sure to come back on night shift so I can take care of you again." And they only laughed at me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, I hope everyone has a nice day. It's not even 8:30AM and mine is already shot <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />, since today is the day I cram for ACLS tomorrow. I hope to retain the information just long enough to attend the all-day class tomorrow, and pass the test. Immediately after the test, a fact hemorrhage out of both ears will promptly occur, and by the time I get to my job for the night, 2 hrs. later, I expect it to be all gone again. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> They can make me learn it, but they can't make me remember! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

From CNN


The African grey parrot kept squawking "I love you, Gary" as his owner, Chris Taylor, sat with girlfriend Suzy Collins on the sofa of their shared flat in Leeds, northern England.

But when Taylor saw Collins's embarrassed reaction, he realized she had been having an affair -- meeting her lover in the flat whilst Ziggy looked on, the UK's Press Association reported.

Ziggy even mimicked Collins's voice each time she answered her telephone, calling out "Hiya Gary," according to newspaper reports.

Call-center worker Collins, 25, admitted the four-month affair with a colleague called Gary to her boyfriend and left the flat she had shared with Taylor, 30, for a year.

Taylor said he had also been forced to part with Ziggy after the bird continued to call out Gary's name and refused to stop squawking the phrases in his ex-girlfriend's voice, media reports said.

"I wasn't sorry to see the back of Suzy after what she did, but it really broke my heart to let Ziggy go," he said.

"I love him to bits and I really miss having him around, but it was torture hearing him repeat that name over and over again.

"I still can't believe he's gone. I know I'll get over Suzy, but I don't think I'll ever get over Ziggy."

Taylor acquired Ziggy as a chick eight years ago and named him after the David Bowie character Ziggy Stardust.

The bird has now found a new home through the offices of a local parrot dealer. Collins, who admitted the affair, said: "I'm not proud of what I did but I'm sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems.

"I am surprised to hear he got rid of that bird," she added to The Guardian newspaper. "He spent more time talking to it than he did to me."

How do you expect me to call you, if you're online, and tying up your phone with that stupid dial-up?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I'll be studying for ACLS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> You call me.

I see things are still up in the air for most.

I wonder how much longer HE will suffer the world to continue like it is. I suppose I shouldn't complain about taking my turn, so many others before us have endured worse.

Cheers to all of you!! May things get better soon.

SS


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

Hi SS--Been wondering where you've been but I've been too busy doing my hamster-on-the-treadmill impersonation to try and track you down. Glad to have you reappear. Hope everything's OK for you. By the way, does YOUR family want to join the Montana commune, too? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm studied out. My brain is about ready to explode with an excess of useless information. I'd probably do better with this if I didn't resent it so much. It's all done to create a good-looking paper trail for the hospital in its accreditation evaluations. And it infuriates me to have to get this certification "proving" increased competence, when all I've proved (I hope <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />) is that I can remember something long enough to take a test. All I personally need, when I take my turn as a recovery room nurse for some post-op C-section patient, is to be able to recognize a deteriorating condition...which I could do just fine without all this additional nonsense...and call for help in a timely fashion. Because I've had a higher level of "training" now <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> (excuse me, once again I was momentarily overcome by mirth), I'm now held to a higher standard of performance without actually being any more capable than I was before. I could start a pastry shop with my frosted buns, I tell you! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Gr-r-r-r.

Well, I'm off to bed. 8 hrs of class, a 2 hr. break, and then 12 hrs.on the floor. How cheerful do YOU think I'll be by Thursday morning?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

hey tl

your Montana commune is sounding better every day!!!

I had a [censored] of a day too.

First I got up late - power was off due to a minor car accident so alarm did not go off. Mikey was in a bad mood - a tooth I think !! - Looking at me like it was my fault.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

then working on some legal agreements all day, setting up merge docs and the system crashed at 4 pm... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

took that as a sign and rushed home with Mikey for mum to look after him for the night. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Then I had to rush all the way BACK into the city to attend Labor Party union meeting.
Then to add to it all I found myself elected to the State council - right in the middle of an industrial dispute thank you very much!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I was supposed to be there for the numbers only!! I was suckered!!!

THEN .. I find I have to start getting numbers - voting delegates - to elect a new Premier for the state - Governor I guess you'd call them. Our exisitng Premier just resigned due to depression ... I swear it had nothing to do with me, I wasn't even on the council then <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Depression?/ I'll give them depression!!

So then I was walking around drinking expensive water - it was cold anyway - after the mass meeting shaking hands doing the cute baby thing - well kissing babies is nice, its kissing [censored] I don't do too well <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> - and this PERSON spilt red wine over my white silk top!!!

And I didn't even hit him <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> he was rather under the weather <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Only got home at 12.30am ... Mums asleep, Mikeys NOT, I have a headache

Next day please <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> oh it is already.


But I do hope you did well at your tests tl, you need to support us all on the commune!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

90-second post here. I am having an absolutely wonderful time at my class today, and nobody's allowed to get snockered there either, but even if they did, I'm wearing a turtleneck long-sleeve t-shirt. Who cares? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Tried to take a nap during lunch break and was almost asleep when the thunderstorm hit right over my car. It's raining so hard right now I'm afraid I'm going to drown trying to make it across the street to class. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> But the people who went to lunch at the restaurant are bring me back something, so I didn't even have to work to get that.

I'll have more to say later, but so far I'm having a blast. And ironically enough, it's my bad attitude that's providing most of the amusement. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

P.S. AW, do we have to be respectful to you now that you're an important person in the government? No? Good. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Happy news!

Good news, Neak and Neaksis! Yesterday’s Product Review Committee recommended that your manuscript, Jonas, be circulated among evaluators then taken to Book Committee for publication consideration (in April). I’ll let you know how that turns out!

Hooray!!!

Oh goodie Neak. That makes me very happy.

I have your next book idea in mind. I want it to be about catching a cheater. I'm thinking of figuring out how to market it, and include at GPS. Did your read waiting's story about how fast she caught her WH with one?
