I can probably find one for you, too. What size are you? Email me, or share it with all the millions of your best cyber friends <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />--it's up to you! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No work tonight. I'm only doing 60 hrs. this wk. instead of 72. Sort of a little mini-vacation for me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I'm mere moments away from bedtime. All I need to do is to muster the energy to get out of my chair and walk across the room. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> 13 hrs. without a break last night. One delivery early, and then a prolonged labor that ended up in a C-section. I might've been able to get her delivered except that the baby couldn't tolerate contractions strong enough to produce cervical change, which really stifled the creativity of my magic fingers. I've earned my night's sleep tonight, but tomorrow it's back to the salt mines again. Sweet dreams, everybody.

t&l

Yeah, sweet dreams, everybody!

Had family therapy session - we are a miracle at this house. Thanks to prayer. Don't have to go back for more family therapy for 2 months. Taking d back in one month. Life is sweet! So sweet.

And I hope to have sweet dreams tonight.

Hope y'all do, too.

Well I finally get on this darn thing no one is home! <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/smile.gif" alt="" />
Yes aw's mum is here! <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'm supposed to make sure AW does not stay up until 2.30am or so tonight so my GD says!! lol Says AW is absolutely a terror to get up in the morning to go to work otherwise <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="" />

I can guess WHY she gets no sleep but I'm not going to say anything as AW says I tell way too much, Me? Doesn't sound like me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Neak I had a question but I forgot what it was <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="" />
I was reading something and had this flash of brilliance ..but its faded now <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

not to worry I'll think about it and with luck, a red wine and chocolate ..it will all come back to me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
.. I mean the thought and question not the red wine & chocolate <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="" />

Dear tl when you wake up and have to go to work let me know how you are doing these days? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
AW mentioned you were worried about your son too. Mine is running wild with women of shady character and thinks thats ok because his wife had an affair! <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="" />
Now while in no way condoning my DIL's affair over 3 years, in fact if he had decided to divorce, Catholic religion or not, I would have back then supported that decision as probably being for the best. However DIL cleaned up her act, went to therapy, counselling and back to church and went cold turkey with the OM or OM's - never been sure of that - started being responsible and taking responsibility for the affair and extra careful with the G/children - 3 lovely girls 12, 10 & 8 who are just beautiful - and is so so remorseful and wants her M at almost any cost - near as bad as AW with all of that, but not as bad if that makes sense <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> - but son has decided it's play time with floosies. Flaunts them in front of her !! I just want to kick him ! Why can't we mums ground kids for ever???? <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="" />

Hi AWM--I'm just about to go outside with my little lawnmower and get the small corners the big lawn mower can't reach! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (Read yesterday's adventure with the new tractor mower. Double <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)

I sympathize with AW and her early morning rising habits. My early morning generally comes about 4 or 5 in the afternoon, but I still expect people to stay out of my way until I've been awake for a little while. Little Susie Sunshine I'm NOT. I think people who wake up cheerful, and just thrilled to have another chance to get out of bed and face the world, are extremely annoying...possibly even abnormal. Leave me alone when I wake up. It's a good idea when I'm balancing the checkbook and paying bills, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Yesterday or the day before my dear ex-DIL wrote that my militantly-contented-with-his-atheism son is having a bout of existential despair. It's back a page or three. It seems to have occurred about the same time I came home depressed after visiting him, even though the visit itself was a lot of fun for me--and, I think, for him. In some ways, it sounds like our sons are somewhat the same, although my son flaunts his disbelief, and yours, his floozies. It seems, though, that when you get people in this mode, they sometimes have to hit bottom before they can start back up again...or even see clearly that they're headed down, and not enjoying some superior state of existence from the rest of us in the hoi polloi. At least I understand now why my mother started turning gray immediately after I was born, and turned completely white once I reached "adulthood." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> She has my complete sympathy. My prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for your prayers for mine.

Did you ever get the cyber book? If so, what did you think of it? I keep forgetting to ask.

t&l

P.S. Don't pay any attention to what AW says. What does she know, anyway?! WE understand that you don't talk too much! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

EXACTLY !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and I had to nag her to bed half an hour ago , I mean talk her into, because it would be good for her, Michael and - well the rest of us <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="" /> - if she got some sleep.!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

You know when the last one got married I thought 'YEAH MAMA! no more worries !! they got through teens ok I'm home free!!'

HA!! BLOODY HA !! <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="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Of course I will say that not everyone is married to someone with who seems to delight in daring do like AW is. I mean he WAS just going to be a nice mild Army transport pilot once. When they married. But lets not talk about THAT boy tonight or I may swear. <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/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Well I do hope your son gets it together and starts looking after himself as I do so for mine. It just seems so self destructive and its hard to think where and why this behaviour began. I suppose you wonder yourself for your own boy.
Well prayers can help I am a firm believer in that but also realise in the end my son has to CHOOSE his pain, One leading to nothing but probable loneliness, or one dealing with both their affairs and MAYBE finding love in there somewhere. But he seems so bitter.

Darn I really have to go to bed myself too as I'm a early riser as Grumpy is off fishing tomorrow for a day. Either that or poaching Marron <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="" /> we'll see if the rangers bring him home in the van <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I include your family in my prayers and I thankyou for praying for mine.

All the best & catch you earlier I hope

Neak, in case you're looking for me, I've gone to San Andreas to attempt the retrieval of Neaksis-the-Wonder-Genius, who has managed to lock herself out of her car at the Union station. I'm just hoping one of the 3 varieties of door keys I'm taking, is the right one. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Say hi to Neaksis for us. And don't tease her toooooo much.

SS

I wondered why she was not around to give her children back to her.

Please tell me she's coming soon. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And I thought her full title was Neaksis the Girl Wondergenius. I was close.

What's Neak's full title?

Oh wait - do I really want to know that?? <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="" />

SS

It has NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with bathroom fixtures or appliances.

You really wanna know? I'll save Mom the trouble of telling you. It is Diarrhea Elizablatt. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> You will never ever guess why she gave me that name, so I will have to tell you. *whispering* She thinks I talk too much.

Technically, I suppose a link could be made between Diarrhea and bathroom appliances. Sigh.

Don't worry about it - The truth is, that no matter what your nick name is, I have a great deal of respect for you.

Does the name still apply? Or was that long ago?

And my last thought for ~ right now ~

Gosh it's a nice day outside. How come I'm in here working?

SS

I'm headed out for a 16-hr. shift, so this will be brief. The nickname was given to her when she was a small child, and was a sound-play on her legal name. If she wants to extrapolate that into a current accusation of hyer-verbosity, who am I to tell her she can't? Maybe it's her guilty conscience speaking. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Certainly not her gentle mother...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


If you're unable to make a link between your diarrhea and your bathroom appliances, there will be blame and regret enough to go around...and to spare. Technically. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

t&l

P.S. I thought the only bathroom appliances we made jokes about were your sinks, and occasionally the shower. Don't tell me you're dragging the toilet into this now, too! There has to be something in your bathroom upon which maternal eyes can safely gaze! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

There has to be something in your bathroom upon which maternal eyes can safely gaze!

Try the mirror, that ought to be safe.

SS

Yes, the mirror, and the laundry hamper. It is wicker, and very fragile.

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

Respect - thank you - I respect you, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

daughter and I use bathroom mirror for message board - erasable marker on glass works well except for the reflection.

hi neaks, tl & cinders & of course neaksis!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hope you got home ok neaksis with mum coming to the rescue! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

So how is everyone?

I am baking & cooking tonight yes I do spend time in the kitchen just like mum says I do <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I'm putting on fresh baked party pies, sausage rolls, ham & cheese quiches & spinach & ricotta quiches, a fruit plate made up of Kiwi Fruit, Strawberries, Mango, Rockmelon, golden Melon and grapes plus a pecan pie just cooked with creamy icecream for the boys & girls at work tomorrow to give them a big thank you for helping me out while I was the boss for a few months ... but I won't miss the job at all!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

well back to the fruit slicing <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AND in about 5 minutes I get to use Aussies gas handy flame thrower ... well its a welding thingy ma gig ... but it glazes fresh coffee sugar just right and you get this lovely hard toffee over the top of the pecan pie ... yum <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I think I'll invite myself........
What time do we eat?
