You call him. Tell him the refinance guy didn't hurry up on our loan, and he died!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hey t&l, feeling better?????

What were your dreams?

Yes, in a semi-morose sort of way. Stagnant. I think that's the right word. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


What dreams? I don't usually remember my sleeping ones unless they're very bad, and wake me up scared. Or are you talking about dreams for life? I'm not sure I have many of those left. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Got called in to work early tonight, so I'll be leaving soon. If I work a 16-hr. shift, the double-time will be nice on payday--not so great tonight, though.

Just what are we doing on PAGE 3??????????????????????????????????

Thanks T&L, for the book.

NERDBOY AND THE DERVISH just sprinkles the whooooooooooole inside of GP's bathroom with glow juice.

After we got done scolding them, we went in and shut the door to admire for a while because it looks so cool!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> It looks like the flight over Neverland in the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland.

BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'll try to help keep us off page 3, but everybody's posting so fast these days.)

t&l, you can remember your dreams if you decide to BEFORE you go to sleep. That's what they say...

Neak, it is getting hard to keep us on page 1. Why do people post so much?? At least they could post to only a couple of threads....

My 87 yr old friend is loving your book! Saw her yesterday and she has finished the other book I lent her and is now reading yours. I'm sure she'll have more to say.

I hope you didn't tell them it looked cool or you're going to have a whole house that resembles Las Vegas at night! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I am about to finish reading Christiaan Barnard's autobiography which was written in 1969, I think. Oh, I do believe I must be getting old...... That's not good news but it is good news.

I bet half the people here don't know he he was.

Just as with the fleeting pleasures of sin, the glow is all gone from the walls, and now it's true character as just a bathroom is shown. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

CC, thanks for the update on your friend. That's just what I love to hear! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Most of the children are still asleep. Neaksis came over so they all could watch Ice Princess. Now we are all hoping there is an Ice Princess II soon. It was so fyoot.

Hi gang

been very quiet for a while, just feeling down and wanted to cling to Aussie for a while. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I hope all are ok as I haven't even read here for days & days so I've been skimming <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Really great they got those last two miners out in Tasmania. Working in a mine is not the safest job in the world.
Though I notice the vultures are already circling the families to get exclusives <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Neak that bathroom is a MUST for all families ..lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

tl glad you are feeling a bit better and I loved that well I'll come see if you are alive later then crack!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

HI AW!!!!!!! So happy to hear from you.

Maybe I should write a marital help book: "Intimacy in the Bathroom". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Followed by the sequel: "Intimacy in the Bathroom: More Than Just Sex".

Ah, the kiddies are finally getting up after their wild party last night, so it's back to mom duty for me. {{{{{{AW}}}}}}}}} I know this has been hard for you. (Thanks to your mum.)

mum talks too much lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

AW, please tell my big brother that I miss you guys achingingly.

I also want to know what's for supper.

(it's all about the food)

I didn't actually decide to remember anything, but retained snippets anyway. The power of suggestion! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> What it says about my psyche is indecipherable...

(1) I witnessed a shooting down the street, which I noticed when I heard the shot, and saw the person fall to the sidewalk with a little puff of smoke rising into the air; and when I woke up I was trying to get away before anybody knew I saw them. After I walked around the corner and hid briefly in a tree, I was asked if I wanted to spend a few days being a cowboy and herding cattle. AND I WAS CONSIDERING IT!!!!!!!!! Just to escape. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

(2) HP said he'd put in a bid on some country property so we could move. To South Dakota. In the winter. <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="" />

No wonder I ordinarily don't bother to remember this stuff.

I don't worry about him much--certainly not enough to sit up for hours ready to perform instantaneous CPR on someone too stubborn to drive 6 miles down the road to see the Dr., when what I really needed was a nap. Although I would've accomanied him (instead of sleeping), or even driven him there, if he'd wanted to go, but not alone. He's an ex-Army medic. l year in an evacaution hospital intensive care unit near Saigon. He's seen and done medical things which I will never run across in my life...at least, not if I'm lucky. Not going to the physician, when you're 60 and have as many things wrong with you as he does...well, there's only so much vicarious fretting I can do over a man like that, who's absolutely adamant about calling his own shots and won't listen to anybody--not even when he asks for my opinion. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

P.S. He was back to normal by evening. Come to think of it, he was being normal when he refused to be sensible, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Pioneering heart transplant surgeon. From South Africa, I think. How old are we, anyway? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I try to keep reminding myself of that every time I have to go potty at YOUR house. "Just a bathroom," I keep saying. "It's just a bathroom. Toilet. Tub. Magazines. Shower. Getting dizzy now. Hold on, Other Susan the Stupid, you're almost done. Sink. Ga-a-a-a-a-ah! I'm blind. I'm blind. Somebody come and wipe me and get me out of here! Help. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

t/l, I can stop praying for you!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I can see you{re much better.

Now, when you have more experience dreaming you{ll see that you will coordinate things a lot better <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Neak says we need a book club. I agree. Anything to keep her out of the bathroom and off that sink. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I've got another you might like, Believer. I'll make it available after I finish and the girls get a chance at it. It's written by the military chaplain who accompanied the first wave of Marines into Iraq, and whose friend was the first fatality of the war. It brought tears to my eyes several times at work last night, which was kind of a little bit <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> because I was sitting with the other nurses at the time and didn't want anybody to notice. But he quoted so many familiar Bible texts about trusting God when we can't see the future (my big bugaboo right now, don'cha know? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />), and in a way that was profoundly moving to me...because certainly their Unknown was bigger and darker than mine will ever be, and yet he encouraged them to walk in faith, in spite of their circumstances.

Not about a pacifist, it's true. But about a man with a real, living, vital faith, who took God at His word, and believed in His sovereignty, when believing was hard. I believe it's called A Table in the Presence. If that's not right, I'll correct it later. It just made me realize again, with heavy conviction, that if I want to go forward, I'm just going to have to boot myself into the blackness, and proceed with faith in the promises of God, instead of spending my time and energy dithering around about all those incomprehensible details. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
