I just saw your new subject line, SS. How did you know? Do you have my house bugged? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> And then you went and told everyone. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Besides, I don't snore. I breathe sincerely. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, those video clips didn't take nearly long enough. Lots of mouth-to-mouth, but very little excitement--emotional or otherwise, if you ask me. And the narrator could ONLY have been improved with a nifty little braided beard.

I guess there's nothing left but to actually open the book and read. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Goodbye, cruel world.

I've been REPRIEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neaksis and the kids just walked in and said they're here for supper. Boy, wouldn't it be rude to study when you have company? That's what I thought, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Yes, but does she have a braided beard?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going right downstairs to the kitchen and telling Neaksis you blabbed about her whiskers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

SS reads........ spews milk and cookie crumbs on the monitor.

Monitor is not TOO bad, but I hope I can get it all out of the keyboard.

Lololololololol!

I will take the high road for Neaksis, and point out that, in the most technical sense, she is not the sister with the whiskers. (Yet.) But I cannot braid them, even on the jawline.

There for a minute, I forgot who HP was - thought TNL was helping out Harry Potter.

Strangest dream I ever had was the time I dreamed Prince Charles offered me a job helping the royals figure out which jewels and purses, etc., were needed with which clothes for which functions.

Trip w/ Diplomat was wonderful...

Note to self ..... if you are taking a ferry to an island, find out more about your destination. Don't go just to see the wild horses. Find out that it really is a national seashore. Find out that there is a beach. Take your swimsuit. Remember that you will look very funny splashing in the water in your beige bra and panties.

Neaksis has whiskers?

Uh oh, what are we gonna do?

No, wait, that can happen as we gorgeous gals get older.....just as long as she doesn't need to shave.........or let them get long and curly.

Neak,

I know this is late; however, I just finished reading Malchus: Touched by Jesus .

Great Job! You must have done a lot of research, not only biblical, but also on living in those times. Combining that with a story that fits within that framework and imagination for the storyline really illustrates what a great artist you are.

I am looking forward to your next work.

Neaksis - get thee to a laser !!! hehehehe lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

well it happens as we women get a wee bit past 20 ..... of course just being a wee bit past 20 myself , oh shut up the lot of you, I can sympathize easily <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Neak go edit away and see what it looks and feels like and then decide!!

I just picked up Aussie from the mess..he's a mess lol
been drinking beer and whiskey since 1.00pm and the APO girls were all in tears about the men going and pretty well fully cut themselves by then.
I really like those girls... tough as nails and soft as jelly

and I suspect a little bit in love, in a nice way, with most of the blokes.

Aussie was singing a threesome when I got there followed by the enthusiastic drunks .... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course ......
Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys

48 hours to go.

{{{B}}} - thank you for the vote of confidence. So far, nothing they listed has been a dealbreaker. I can live without Moses. In fact, Neaksis said that down the road a ways it would be fun to take the Moses-as-a-heavenly-historian concept, and do a series of short stories of all the people we want to do stories of, but haven't figured out a way to make it a whole book. I can live without some of the family fighting, too, although (as Neaksis says), that is the most realistic part of the story.

RAG - Thank you! I am so pleased you enjoyed it! Yes, I did lots of research, but even so didn't get it all right the first time. In fact, a whole section after Herod's party had to be cut when the chapter was moved to it's correct chronological and geological position. Don't know about the sequel yet, but at least I knew more going into it than I did at the beginning of the first one.

*whispering* Shhhh, AW, don't tell anyone I asked, but where is the laser shop? If it costs too much, I heard Kimmy has an Epi-lady still, unless WAT got it first.

*normal voice* That poem sounds very familiar. Maybe I read it somewhere before. Those poor girls. It's always harder on the women.

poor Neaksis ...I think its all the pressure with the kids and all..lol
I think the answer is a GOOD man. You rope one & I'll hog tie him and neaksis can brand him <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Any single pasters? STAY away from soldiers & servicemen as that will be the START of problems lol
Ask my DD hehehehe .... Quote of the evening " I must be out of mind $%#^&^%$%^ bloody soldiers" told her he WANTS to go back to his unit asap when he's better.
Mummy not taking sides on THAT one

Two little boys I think is actually a American civil war song that good Ol Rolf Harris dug up and sang back in the 60's. Of course its probably because its so simple that its so popular with men ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

How these rumors do grow and take on a life of their own after seemingly springing from nowhere! Oh, yes. This didn't come from nowhere....it came from the sainted lips of my own sister!

She is just getting back at me because I still have good enough close-up vision to tell certain people about their own whiskers. That they missed seeing because they need BIFOCALS!

Not that I am in any way bitter. I just don't have it in me to get upset by these little things.

Bawhaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaa

Good thing I don't have milk and cookies at my desk today. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

SS

ROTFLMAO neaksis I like the understatement!! lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Talking about needing bifocals, I took the mans 4 WD van on a back road and over a sand hill yesterday, well it WAS a shortcut, and I'm sure I saw water in the radiator reserve tank that morning, or a morning this week, or month anyway, I was POSITIVE.

what in the heck is a 'cracked head' ????????? <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="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

(besides what a certain male may think I have that is <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)

I know its going to cost about ,,,shhhhhh .... quietly ... about $1200 <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

oh I do want to assure you all I really do intend to be totally honest with Aussie on it,.......................
..................................
I'll just wait until hes about 5000 km away and then I'll be totally honest. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

A truck just crashed and wiped out part of our fence, and flattened the gate completely. He's ok, the fence is not so good.

I scared him, though.

The Dervish had put what I later found to be glue, all over the dog's head and neck. I turned to walk away from the guy after making sure he was ok, and saw the Dervish and dog walking toward me. At seeing the white slimy stuff all over the poor poochie, I exclaimed, "What did you do to the dog?!?"

Behind me the poor man said frantically, "Oh no! Did I do something to the dog???????" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

We are using it as a good object lesson for the Dervish. "Imagine if you had been disobeying, and standing on the gate when the truck crashed....."

I got a picture with the camera phone, but haven't had a good enough signal to email it to myself yet.

And now back to the Friday cleaning.

Mom, can Mayer stay at your house till the gate gets fixed?




What about the Dervish?



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

Well, I'm finished with my class and am now certified to stand and scream for help if anyone is foolish enough to collapse at my feet! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> It could've been worse. It could've lasted longer, for example. 5-1/2 hrs. was long enough, if you want MY opinion...and obviously you do, or why else would I have given it to you? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Neak is busy trying to get pictures of the car which just crashed into her fence, and knocked the gate down. The fence is 6' tall chain link, but the gate was needing some improvement, so I'm cool with this. I asked her to show him the way to the septic tank, too, as long as he was destroying stuff for his insurance to replace...but she said he wasn't going fast enough. Blast. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Nobody ever does what I want. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

AW, the 48 hrs. made me all <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" />. I'm so sorry, but I thank you, and Aussie, and all the others who sacrifice greatly, so that the rest of us can sit in our comfortable homes and complain about stuff. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'll ask tomorrow at church for prayers for you all.
