Got back into hoop class 2 weeks ago. I have 2 more classes left in this series. I am already signed up for the next one. Going to take Beginner 1 for the 3rd time. I started from being totally unable to hoop. Now I can hoop. Can even sort of dance around my living room while hooping.

After I got through signing up on-line, my daughter said, "Now that you've done that, go get your hoop and hoop for joy." So, I did.

You and the Dervish would hoop together great! You should see him, this little scrawny thing with his hoop, just going at it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hooray!!!!!!! I got Mr. C back to school today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I impressed the teacher...I can do the Wild West w/ both hands....both clockwise and counterclockwise w/ both hands. And I can change from one direction to the other w/out significantly stopping the flow.

Still can't booty bump or limbo well but I can move turn w/in the hoop while it goes either clockwise or counter clockwise.

Have enjoyed hooping to different music.....We Will Rock You, Low Rider, Spanish Fly, Jingle Bells (James Taylor), and a few other things. Tonight we had some great music but I don't remember who it was.

I am impressed, too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I think I may turn into an addict. I wonder how long one hoop will be enough. I wonder when I will decide it's time to start making my own. Oh, dear, I think I need to go practice.

Sweet dreams -

Sweet dreams back, and Cinders, put away that hoop long enough to get a little sleep.

Back to the editing grindstone for me.

The kids have been coming down sick again.

Hi Neak

How did the editing go? How are the kids did they get sick again? I hope you are having a nice morning with no drama and no dervishness .... for a little while <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have to travel for a whole week away from Mikey and Aussie from 22 Feb, its a pain, its the pits, but my friends father in law is dying and I promised to cover her if she had to take time off.
Her hubby isn't taking it well either, So Aussie drops over to see him every few days, hes a truckie too! We've known each other since we were teens ..stop counting you ... and when we came back to WA I found out she was working in the same dept.
The FIL is very old and sick and just wants to join his wife who died 18 months ago. I can understand that desire. Sometimes its about the QUALITY of life and the spirit

Rella don't hoop too much now, we dont want you hooping it up so you end in hospital or unable to move a joint! Err on the side of caution. or at least use a small hoop to hooper <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

where r u ss??

6008 posts?!?! 40,000+ views of the thread?!?!?!

Just how many "feminine hygiene products" are there out there?

Another "mystery" about women that man will probably never understand.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's not all that much of a mystery, FH. The name of this thread was a joke Pepperband made about a joke I made to Neak...only my joke came and went long, long ago, and Pep's joke was left on the thread title so long the site rules made it impossible for her to change it to anything else. So "feminine hygiene" we became, and remain, in spite of the fact that this has nothing to do with feminine hygiene and never did. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Cinderella, watch out that you don't get hooping cough. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

t&l

You know, I am developing a cough. It is Feburary. If Feburary, then sick. That is sort of the rule.

As for feminine stuff, it's a pain in the neck when your body's hormones start doing weird things.

FH - to find the total # of feminine products, I forget whether you add the posts and the views, or multiply them. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Of course, now that you're here, you need to stay long enough to tell us how you're really doing, or if there's something we can help or encourage you with. And if you have any naughty children, and funny stories about them, this is also the perfect place for that.

Cinders, hope the cough gets better. Ugh!

Looks like I get to be the MOD - Messenger of Disaster (as we call any of the children when they come in just slavering to tattle on something really juicy).

Neaksis got the van stolen from the church, AND had left the keys in the ignition. Dad and AJ are both on their way down to ferry her group back, since we no longer have a vehicle large enough to do it singly.

It remains to be seen whether this is a trial or a blessing.

Hi Neak!

hope all is going well with you and that you got some writing done at long last.

Poor Neaksis.. I know how you can leave the keys in the car or van with a load of people you are looking after especially if its a load of kids! How did I know one of them would turn the key and bash the car into a parking sign?
Of course you know who teased me about THAT incident for months <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

FH very quick post... are you doing well?

Rella get some rest and STOP the hoopin for a day or so. Bed, hot soup and sleep..... between the kids of course. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for asking, I am on chapter 11 out of 37 or 38, but it's been pretty easy. They did a good job, and I've hardly found anything to fix. As long as I'm done by Monday. Sigh.

They are on their way home now.

Well, didn't get to my group training session today - took daughter to work at 6 a.m. and went back home to bed. Woke at noon. Went to get her, buy earmuffs, buy spray adhesive for art. Did art for a display board. Took it on memorystick to be copied and trimmed. Did the display board and delivered it. Did the worship service and emailed it. Now I have to do some letters and go to Kinko's for printing.

I did not leave the keys in the ignition. I am very dedicated to always taking the keys with me when I get out. They were in my purse the whole time. It was the other 2 sets of keys sitting in the cupholders that were the problem.

Honestly, she makes it sound as if it were my fault!

I stick to basking in a hot tub that way I always feel warm and well........ wrinkled but then nothing is free <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Of course I sometimes wonder if the hot tub is a cannibals cook pot but there you are. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I have the keys on a chain around my neck these days Neak... bit like my sisters and mum hehehe <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> and mums way too busy to read this as she is baby sitting dr sis kids as she has been in ER all weekend because of the bushfires and injuries. Their dad is out as a volunteer ..feeding the people on the trucks.

Had to have the air con off because of the fires as well. But luckily I have a small refrigerated unit in the bedroom I can use by turning it on recycle air to keep Mikey cool ... as long as the power holds out.

We all (well EXCEPT for ONE person <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> )went to the Monastery for church today and got a great treat as they were practicing songs for Easter ... and about right in the middle Mikey starts whining and then crying LOUD, REALLY REALLY LOUD <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I think the incense was too strong for him..had to duck out asap to calm him down and walk around the gardens ... its like when we arrive somewhere we seem to leave a mark or two <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> and then he gave a big [color:"red"](WARNING TMI coming)[/color] snotty sneeze which went all over my white church dress <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="" />(like I only have 2) thank God for Wet Ones ...........motherhood ...why don't they come with labels? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Because, if people knew what they were in for, no one would ever have children.

[color:"red"]CRISIS MANAGEMENT FROM THE NEAR-SICK BED OF THE PRINCESS!!!!![/color]

Have been burning up the phone lines with the minister this morning. He didn't get my song presentation last night. My occasional cough that started a couple of days ago is growing in intensity. I stayed home this morning. Worship service is in about 30 minutes. I've been asking for the computer to be networked so I can just e-mail the thing in but it hasn't happened.

Cold & flu season...wonderful isn't it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


talk about cars.... guess who 15mins ago hopped in the car to go to work and got grrrrrr grrrrr clunk?
Me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Guess who took Mikey on a trip in the car yesterday and let him push some buttons..including the internal light switch?
Me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Guess who is waiting for the road service to arrive and fix it?
