I don't know. Do you have a good answer? I didn't even tell the very last vignette of the dream, because it was even weirder than what went before. Maybe I'll tell Neak, since she was the "star" of that particular scene...but I'm not sure there really IS an answer to that question, unless you've got a particularly vivid imagination. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hi-ho, hi-ho, I work because I owe... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know. Do you have a good answer?

Good grief NO!
And even if I did, I doubt I would say anything.

I should send this to my daughter, she's due sometime in the next three weeks.


Don't all of us work because we owe? I mean, they do call it work.

Have a nice drive.

Do you think while you drive, or just try to forget?

SS

I'm back, I'm back, la la la la la. Neakbro has repaired the server just enough for me to hop on here. Hooray!

AW, thanks for the update. ((((((((Aussie Clan}}}}}}}}} I hope you will be sleeping in.

Morning all, ok well evening then for you guys!!
SS I'm sorry I didn't reply as I fell asleep and Aussie carried me to bed, no mean feat let me tell you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />, my weight is going up & down like a yoyo at the moment. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

so in short I didn't get to answer you. Well I have slept in a few days as I'm on leave until next wednesday when I have to go back & be boss for 5 weeks.
why do I get to do the dirty jobs? AND I don't want the stress.... All those whinging pollies wanting something for their electorate. I mean lets not worry about a church group actually building a retirement home or safe house for youth in areas we actually need it!! no lets go build them so they can get more votes <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Neaks did you ever get those 'git-tar' songs into real music at all? I was looking for the actual music pages for them but cannot find them! hugs girl [[[[[[[[Neaks]]]]]]]

I feel so much better I might go and clean the house! Nah just joking
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Got home from work and crashed for over 2 hrs. 13yo son ended up cooking dinner. I could wake up enough to tell him to check freezer for package of stir fry and to cook some rice. Then I was out again till it was done. Been up for 2 hrs and have been tired the whole time. Gotta go to bed.

Mom, ya gotta see this one - it's gorgeous! (Too bad it's already pending.)

Kansas Castle

Nice castle. A little too much panelling for my taste, I think, but for that much space, that much land, and that price I could probably adapt, wooden you guess? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I certainly managed to screw myself over. I can't decide how I feel about it, either. When all the Montana commune stuff was fulminating, I showed pictures to one of my very best friends at work--in my age range--and talked to her about quitting the California rat race while we were still young enough to totter about unassisted...and that even though I couldn't go anywhere or do anything, hampered as I am by HP's death grip on the status quo, there was nothing keeping her from selling her properties and moving somewhere cheaper where she wouldn't have to work. AND SHE LISTENED TO ME!!!!!!!!! <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="" /><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="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I just found out last night she's bought a house in Idaho and will be moving up there in 5 months. She's retiring and will take up residence in her new place on November 15. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> So I'm jealous and lonely and jealous and jealous...and still employed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Oh, and by the way, in case I didn't mention it--I'm jealous!

t&l

Someone listens to you, and it upsets you - <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Now I don't know if I should stay and listen, or ignore you.

I don't have time to stay - but I'm not ignoring you.

How's that?

Let's see T&L ............. you don't work tonight.

I hope you have a very good evening.
And I wonder what makes it a good one for you?

Anyway, I hope it's good.

SS

T&L, sorry your friend is moving.

Neak, sure do like that house. That much space, land, taxes! WOW!

So, it's time for me to get w/ the stated dinner plans. Pizza for the children who washed the dishes. (I told them they could do the dishes or have bean & beef casserole for dinner.)

No, I didn't, especially since they called me in after it would have already been time to leave for work, because one of the nurses was admitted to the hospital with sky-high blood pressures...and I'd had only one little nap since yesterday afternoon to try and carry me through till tomorrow morning if I agreed to work. If they'd called earlier I'd probably have been stupid enough to try and make it with another short nap, but by calling that late, there really wasn't any way I could do what they asked. Too old. Darn. Darn. I had to tell them no, and will be sleeping tonight instead! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



This wasn't too bad at all. I went across the lake to see the girls for about 1/2 hr. each, then came home and HP had made spaghetti and tomato sauce with garlic bread which I was obligated to eat on my return. Very delicious, but if it'd been left up to me I wouldn't have eaten at 8:30 PM just before I expected to head off to bed. Then I played Text Twist on the computer while HP stood behind and drilled his big old ham fingers into the knots on my neck while he gave me ideas of words to type in the game, but kept me so jumpy with the muscle pain from his massage that it was hard to type. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Makes the game more of a challenge that way, I guess. After about an hr. of that much loosening up the tension in my muscles, he cracked my neck (I know that makes chiropractors nuts, but we do it anyway--the price is right!) so high up that I had bones shift at the base of my skull that popped loose with so much noise you could tell they'd been wedged in that spot there for years! I am strangely relaxed, and not entirely because the Ambien is starting to kick in. My neck and head don't hurt anywhere at the moment. That's an odd enough event, in and of itself. I think I'll go to bed while I can still ooze across the room. The owlet hooligans and I bid you good night.

t&l

[color:"orange"]Good morning, friends![/color]

Sorry your friend is leaving tl but thats the way it is with a very mobile life these days isn't it? sucks though. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
But I guess if she is happy, you can can be pleased AND jealous <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cinders good morning to you to, its morning here as well, 1.55am <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Aussie took me to dinner tonight and it was so unexpected I got very sus that he was going to tell me he was going back over to that other place we dont mention here.
Nothing so drastic, yet, so far. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

But enjoyed the dinner, the big one dollar betting with my son .. he actually gave up part of a Sat evening to go out with us can you believe it? Of course he was going on to a night club later on with some mates and girls apparently.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

well off to bed as we have a busy day of couch grass digging up to do for the new patio... maybe I should have hired someone ?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I got a flatbed scanner for $12 today. No instructions but it did have the CD to use to install it. Got it at a yard sale. I think it's an HP. Any body have any ideas?


Let's all sing along w/ Jim Croce......

[color:"blue"]"Oh, it's Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way"[/color]

It's not so much the mobile life, etc., that bugs me about her leaving. It's just that she wasn't thinking anything about going away, or retiring, or anything...until I opened my big mouth and gave her ideas. Oh, well. At least SOMEBODY will be having fun. I'd do it, too, if I could.

Cinderella--you don't want any technical advice from ME. Trust me on this! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

t&l, off to another wonderful night at work.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Go birth some babies early in the shift and get it over with.

Actually, 4-1/2 hrs. into the shift, it's turning out very well so far, but I don't want to say why, because it involves the "Q" word and I don't want to jinx myself with 8 hrs. left to go. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Should be over now, I think. Did you make it safely and easily through?

Hello Neaks & tl - AW's mum here

haven't visited for a while as I told the idiotville inmates I have been busy with work and shopping and window shopping.

Well 'm here baby sitting - which is NO trouble with Mikey as he's such a happy little boy full of smiles - while the two problem children are out at a ANZAC Day bash at the barracks.
And so they should do something for making all the lads on leave come in and help in all that spit & polish they were doing for the march through Perth tomorrow morning. I think it was a bit rough myself but the Army has it own way of doing things - BS of course but still its the 'Army' way or no way. I don't know how AW puts up with all the rubbish or maybe I'm getting grumpy too <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="" /> <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="" />

I'm not too keen on the dawn service mind you, I hate that last post at the end I just start crying because of the men, no they were boys, who went to Nam and never came back. And now of course with all the men who haven't come back from teh various actions since then. But Nam & the World wars were where my generation had the most losses. With Nam most did return of course but many were very changed for ever, Old Grumpy was one and I guess thats why I give him some slack - not much - but some. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Aussie & AW have been very busy last few days, they were using a bob cat to remove sand & grass from the rear yard to build a patio enclosure for a spa and entertainment area, I suspect its a way to get away from the gang of kids that always seem to be here myself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Should have seen AW on it !! very very funny. Especially when Aussie was trying to instruct her on how to use the blade - "No thats up, I said down!" " No I said tilt the bucket down not empty it!"
I didn't know she even knew all those swear words!!!!!
