mama did come and help and I can tell you it was not pretty <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="" />

AW just could not resist the chips and just like the tomato's they were so much better going down than coming up - but does AW listen to her mum ?? NO
"I just HAD to have it" is not good enough young lady!!! <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="" /> <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="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Can you believe she had museli and ice cream for breakfast? Of course are there any guesses what happened after that?

And her ankles look like footballs but will she stay off them? Sometimes I swear she is worse than my little grand children!!

But she has to do the washing
but she has to do the cleaning
but she has to do the cooking
but me no buts!! <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="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

God forbid that she actually asks for help - that would be letting down her family according to her <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="" />

I mean with this lot you can give them a few pies, the boys a beer and white wine for DD and they would think they were in heaven <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/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="" />
of course Michael will stay off the beer until he's at least 18 ! I caught Aussie dipping the dummy into beer for the little guy at dinner <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="" />
Both of them are sound asleep in the chair - Michael is snuggled up in his lap and both are snoring quietly so I had better get the little boy into his cot and shake the other boy awake to go to bed.

AW’s sister is coming around either tomorrow or Friday to have a little look see at AW as she will not go to the doctor because as we all know there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with her.
Well there probably wouldn’t be if she actually stayed in bed resting for a few days

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.

That's an odd cluster of symptoms that she has there. What do YOU think it is?

Hi guys!!!!

Sort of a bad day today, but maybe it will get better <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I have to go to the dentist which is never a nice thing, but as Dr. Phil says, who knows who I might meet on the way or in the office...

BTW, T&L I'm NOT going to study hebrew and greek, at least not just yet. I like languages (probably because I hate not understanding what people say) so maybe next year I'll start a new one or continue german which I never mastered.

In the meantime, I'll read the Bible in english AND spanish and that way I'll have MORE knowledge.

Some of it as you say, is fun, some beautiful, and some very puzzling. All the talk of death and killing and infidelity really confuses me. Specialy in this day and age where going out and killing someone usually has consequences. I'm a "true crime" fanatic! I have more than 150 books in my collection.

My conclusion is that crimes never pays.


I enjoy reading the Bible.

Is it more technically correct to call it a "near hit" or a "near miss"?

A near hit would mean you almost hit something.

A near miss would mean you almost missed - or in other words, you hit it.

I read every post - and now I'm like this. <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="" />

Neak, I think your mom does it on purpose.

CC,
Is it the dentist that made it bad, or somethign else?

I hope it gets better too.

Our DIL is seven months into her first pregancy. She had an abmormal pap smear, and went in for more tests. They think there is a problem, the biopsy results are due next week.

They are saying in the worst case they may have to deliver the baby in two weeks to be able to treat her cancer.

I notice life continues to challange us. I suspect that will never change. What a blessing it is to know that our souls are imortal. What a blessing to know that help is only a prayer away.

Sometimes I wonder if God could really bless me any more than he has without taking away my opportunities for growth.

I know I need the growth - I wish I didn't, but I do.

SS,

it's not the dentist, he's a great guy. I get along fine with my dentist and with the car's mechanic and the dog's vet etc. But I do have to pay them all and then I hate having teeth problems or car problems or dog problems!

But it is the general context of so much mediocrity and corruption that has me depressed today. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to ignore it again and go on my merry way...

Thank God for MB, at least I can read about some caring and sincere attitudes... which I don't find around me lately.

Maybe I'll find some, I haven't lost hope, yet.

If she's 7 months, she should be at least 28 wks. along so in another 2, she'd be 30 wks. Not term, obviously, but big enough for optimism. If she has Betamethasone now to speed up lung maturity, at 30 wks. the baby, while it will be hospitalized for some time, should do well.

P.S. I don't know what you're <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> for. I'm sure they were just cleaning the dirt off of themselves after a long day slaving around the house! Now, if she'd mentioned the SINK, that would be another story, and we could <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> together.

Hi cc46--I hope your dentist got nothing from you today but the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Thanks to all the publicity, I can't even watch The Scarlet Pimpernel without blushing.

OK then T&L ......... um..... well......... then........
What a nice day.
Don't you think it's a nice day CC?

Neak,
I'm sure blushes look good on you - you might as well not worry about it.

Hoping AW gets well soon. Whatever it is, may it end quickly.

We'll see what happens with DIL - though when she finds out, I'll be on day two of a five day camping trip.

Usually I worry about bathing on 5 day trips, but now I have such a nifty idea to share with my W.

Thanks !

SS

It's hard to ignore that - especially in the workplace.

If you could live anywhere in the world, and pick your job, where would you go, and what would you do?

I would probably choose Canada, Australia, and work in my specialty area, in some University. That's what I would like.

I'd try it, but blue cheese only goes well with some things.

OK, OK, I'll take your word for it. (SS sniffs the air - )

It does smell good.


CC, you know my next question don't you?

It goes something like - Why don't you live your dream?
Really -
Make plans.
Your daughters could end up anywhere anyway. You know it already. Someone like you will make friends wherever you go.

At least take a year and try it.

and are willing to pay the price to make them come true."

It would be nice if it were so simple!

I need a visa to get into the USA or Canada (costs 100 dollars to just start the paper work which doesn't guarantee you'll be given a visa) and that's to make sure you don;t stay in those countries! So imagine, I could never get a job! There aren't any illegal positions in the kind of job I'd like to do.

I could take up dishwashing though. I'm pretty good at it, have tons of experience.

Not Australia. That's even farther away than you are now! Did you know California is part of Southern Canada? No? What kind of geography do they teach you down there, anyway? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I kind of lost track of what everyone said. I just know there were lots of things I was going to comment on but can't remember any of them, except I hope AW feels better and that cc46 moves to Oklahoma.

So I am just hugging everyone goodnight!
