Ok Cinders,
Where's the report tonight?

Did you think no one would notice ?



I hope Aussie recovers soon. Don't wear him out AW. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


T&L,
I'm impressed that you went camping. I knew you loved those kids -

Does Neak sis get to tell her version, or has she already done it, and it was censored?



Neak, you have a flair for story telling. Did I ever tell you that?

I see you didn't get the train car suite. The one that takes up the whole car.
Too bad.

I can't wait to hear what you did about shoes - and everything else of course.

Not much exciting here this week. Next week AD and his daughter come out to go camping with us. Should be fun. It won't be close to the city, or the beach.

We plan on driving the the end of the world, and then another 25 miles. We'll give you the frozen orange juice version - condensed.

Sweet dreams.

SS

I just had to escape my thread. It's calmed down now. Maybe I should pick up some maxi-pads before I leave. Gemela is coming back soon. Never can have enough you know.

Pio, this is always a safe place to come and hide. It's a non-snarky zone and there is no penalty should you fail to adhere to the party line.

Be sure to get the kind with wings.

We specialize in parties here, everything from celebrations to the occasional pity party. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you SS, and no we did not have the whole car to ourselves. I can see that would have been handy if Le Dervishe had been along. The sad thing is, there was nothing I was able to do about the shoes until we were a good share of the way home. There are not many business establishments in the Center of the Earth; only gas stations, bars, and farm equipment.

Aussie said "why would you need anything else but bars? After a few doubles of irish you wouldn't CARE that you had no shoes as you wouldn't feel anything. Neak needs to think more laterally!"

Yes dear <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


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.

At first I couldn't figure out what you were talking about, Neak, since in my, ahem, day, our options were more pedestrian, so to speak, and less aerial. But then I understood... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I'm wearing an arm brace today. My assignment last night weighed over 400# and I think I ruptured something. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Of course, this gives new meaning to the line "the wind beneath your wings." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I should probably quit now.

Yikes is right !!

T&L,
Don't they usually get the "former NFL lineman" male nurses to do those kind ?

How was the conference C?
What did they teach you?

Notice Neak didn't give us the continued story today.
Did the Dervish have anything to do with that?

I'm not sure about that, SS. Sounds like an arrest for indecent exposure to me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

It wasn't the baby that was huge. BABY was average in size. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So THATS the real reason for all the Caesars? ... Small Doctors! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

DD didn't think it was funny either (Shes not the tallest person in the family unlike her 'little' bro)... shes got doctors humour <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

The place is like a bomb has just hit it!! those &%$#@#*&^%% men left my kitchen and dining room looking like a the black hole of Calcutta!!!
Do they think Pixies come in and clean up? Why doesn't Bluey go get married and make some woman miserable like any ordinary man? All he does is lead the rest astray, not that they need much leading mind you!

I'll just prance along and get the Pixie dust then won't I <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Tonight I had a longer trip than usual home from Neak's house. It wasn't the weather, or the road... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> But I did waste a certain amount of time sitting beside the road engaged in pleasant dialogue with a member of the local constabulary. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> It seems that I didn't come to a full stop, and the guy I was trying to get ahead of was speeding. Mr. Sheriff said it was a coin toss deciding who to stop. He chose me, even at my age, which is not as flattering as it might seem. I think he should've gone after the other car, which attempted to pass me like a winged mammal out of a hot spot, on a hill with double yellow lines--not that anyone asked me. However, he didn't give me a ticket, although he did ever-so-gently encourage me to actually stop at the stop sign, being that it's more of a command than a suggestion. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Here are three pictures from Neaksis' birthday party. There are more in the album if you want to click forward or backward. I'm too lazy to post them individually...

T&L - Do you realise your links give us access to 104 of your photos? Is that okay with you? I looked at 4 and then wondered if you put them there by mistake.

Incidentally, that Dervish is incredibly cute.

Tee hee, Pio, you are incorrigible. (I'm laughing now that I made sure photo 84 wasn't of me.)

TT, that is just the collection of all the photos we've been posting on here for the last year +. I'm so glad you cared enough to ask and make sure we hadn't made a <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, but it's fine. There are even more options available on the Main Album Page.

Thank you, I happen to be rather enamoured of the Dervish myself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> See? Now I have proof it's not just motherly bias. (The rest of them aren't too bad either, lol.)

One of our fish finally died last night, but it wasn't the Dervish's fault; it just got too close to the filter. The babies took shelter in the breeding grass we got yesterday. Help me remember to look up the care and feeding of baby guppies.

Ok, so the next morning we got on the bus for a 7-hr drive that had to take 11 hours because the train station didn't even open till 8pm. So we got a lot of scenic stops.

For most of the day we alternated sleeping with reading the nice books we had brought along. We also brought our own food, and ate very well.

Part-way through the afternoon, AJ finally had an awake time while I was napping. He began to amuse himself by lightly tickling my nose, ruffling my eyelashes, and I finally woke up when he stuck his finger in my gaping mouth.

I coughed, sneezed, and glared at him while muttering, "Everyone should have a hobby."

We stopped a couple of very historic places, one of them Shaniko, OR. http://www.oregon.com/history/ghost_towns/shaniko.cfm (Sorry, I'm in Quick Reply.) The other was the same bridge we had visited when we went through - I think our pictures from that time are still in Mom's email.

In Biggs, OR, I blew all the minutes on my $5 calling card, which I only happened to have because I hadn't mailed it yet, leaving a message on Mom's cell phone to at least let her know we were having trouble with the phones.

We got into Pasco, WA at about 7:30 pm, and I've got to get ready for church now. The children are only standing around the fish tank and not getting ready. "Which one is female again?" "Well, ahem, ahem.......[long lecture blah blah blah]" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I seek Neak already explained, so I'll only throw in 2 cents. That photo album turned out to be sort of like Topsy--"it just grewed." I guess it's safe to say that we started out here with a great deal more anonymity than we've ended up with. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Somewhere along The Sad Saga of OtherSusan the Stupid (as told in the early pages of this thread), we started posting illustrations, and look what happened! We're not just wordy. Turns out we're picturey, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
