Lol Pio, I never thought of it that way.
I'm off to drive for the rest of the week, so everyone have fun without me, which translates into, make sure there is lots of interesting stuff for me to read in case I have a chance to go online.
Oh reevoyr!

Pio I did have good laugh. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> have a great drive Neak! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Oooooo Neaks a writer isn't she mum? Yes Dear.. why? oh .... nothing. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> My DD wants to ask you PLEASE for 'any' advice on writing she has to do for Uni project so if I send it you can read on the road!! see, solving problems is my skill ..lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> but seriously only if you have time or when you get back.. I'm NOT allowed to read it apparently until its ready in 12 months or so. its only a short piece "for now" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> so doing my motherly duty and hand on heart wont look I promise. I HATE doing that!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Not that kind of seeing him....silly!
We were both customers at the same time....perhaps I should say, "I ran into him"? But I didn't run into him. I didn't touch him - or his vehicle. We stood in close proximity, however.

He got to see both my children whom he delivered. I don't know if you realize how old it makes us OB people feel, to see these gigantically-grown youngsters, and have their parents say, "You were there when they were born." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> It's even better when they come in to your ward as prospective parents themselves! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Somebody hand me my cane and help me to the rocking chair........<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Neak and her husband are each driving a big rig this week (Neak until Tuesday night, when she's supposed to get home again), and sharing the Dervish between the two trucks, although I'd be willing to throw out a small prognostication: he'll spend more time in one truck than he will in the other. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And then there's Neaksis, who has suddenly become responsible for 2 more children, Grandpa, and a foster newborn. I think I like my upcoming week better than either of theirs, no matter what happens at MY work that I don't even know is coming! t&l

T&L, you get over here and I will take you to the best donut shop in town.
I really like my dr. I've been seeing him since he was pretty new in practice. I used to be able to call one day for a routine appt and get to see him the next day. Now, I have to call a couple of months ahead of time. But, if there is a problem, they get me in.

cinders, I am showing great self-restraint but I can't hold back much longer. You REALLY need to change the subject. You're just digging yourself in deeper with each post. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> JUSTUSS has me on a really short leash right now. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Tee-hee...
I am glad that I didn't get any of the ice cream that Val made for Grandpa. She came in to show it to me during my nap, but scared off by the growels coming from under the covers, left without me seeing it.
Now she just dicribed it to me.
It had butterscotch chips
A cherry on top
Banana chips
Drizzled with the juice from half of a lemon
And a fresh basil leaf for a garnish.
Tee-hee

You know, I was a HOT WOMAN today.
Yup.
HOT!
TOTALLY HOT!!
[color:"red"] AND I DO MEAN HOT!!![/color]
It was 80 degrees in the office today. We couldn't turn the heat off. The rest of the floor was cool - but not my division. We couldn't open our office tower windows. It was NOT fun.

Neak asked me to pop on and say "Hi" to everyone. She said she has been up for something like 36 hours now with the aid of various cafinated substances, plus 3 pounds of raw carrots.

I'm not sure about this whole long-distance trucking thing. Neak said that late last night, for a long while this vehicle followed her so closely on the freeway that a lot of the time she couldn't even see the headlights in her rearview mirrors. It sped up when she sped up, and slowed down when she slowed down. Finally she got her hubby, who was about 5 miles ahead in another big rig, to get off the road and then pull back in behind them when they passed, to try and get a license #. But then the person took off and they never did find out who it was. She said that luckily she was in the truck with the gun. It would've been even luckier if it had been where she could get it easily. And if she knew how to shoot. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Honestly, the things kids do to make their parents get old and gray. Well, older and grayer, actually, but you get my drift! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l

It is as I suspected. The Dervish is spending more time in Mama's truck than in Daddy's. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Fortunately, there is The Cage, where he gets to spend much of his time. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get a Cage built for him at home, too, especially until the septic guys are done excavating. The Cage--Fortunately Occupied How such an angelic-looking child can be so dervish-y is a mystery to me. Big Rig, Long-Distance Trucker Dervish t&l

It's an Aussie-let! (An ocelot? That would explain those 9 lives, wouldn't it?) Vaguely resembles the Dervish, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

My son is a dervish and he is not quiet. Except around people he doesn't know. I swear, that child can talk me into a stupor.

I'll post here since it is more private. Had a talk. Have changed the sig line accordingly.

Privacy is a relative thing on the internet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> At least it feels private. Are you glad or sad that you had your talk? Or both? Did you have to wield the (hardened steel) Sword of Wrath? Are you sick of all of this yet? Wouldn't it be nice if we could all go back to before everything went to h-e-doublehockeysticks in a handbasket?
Should I stop asking questions?
OK.
