I thought I got us off page 3. What happened?

Maybe we'll stay up better if I tell everyone how much better the Dervish's rectum is doing.

I see everyone is still doing about the same. <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="" /> <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="" />

Happy belated valentines.

I'm still training...

My friend, David, in whose honor I am walking, hopes to be out of the hospital in a day or two.

Here's more info on what Team in Training is and does:


So, who is Team in Training????
Team In Training (TNT) began in 1988, when Bruce Cleland of Rye, NY formed a team that raised funds and trained to run the New York City Marathon in honor of Cleland's daughter Georgia, a leukemia survivor. That team of 38 runners raised $322,000 for the Society's Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, thus Team In Training was born and has grown into the world's largest endurance sports training program.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is committed to curing leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and helping patients and their families. In 2006, the Society invested $61.6 million to support more than 480 researchers and projects in 15 countries on five continents. The Society also provides financial assistance to patients; sponsors scientific conferences around the country; produces educational materials and videos; and runs dozens of Family Support Groups nationwide. Because they receive no federal funding, they depend on us for continued support of these needed programs.

Did you know????
**An estimated 110,960 people in the United States were diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2004.
**New cases of leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma account for 8 percent of the 1,368,030 new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States this year.
**An estimated 712,145 Americans are currently living with leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma.
**Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma will cause the deaths of an estimated 55,100 people in the United States this year.
**These blood cancers accounted for nearly 9.8 percent of the deaths from cancer in 2004 based on the total of 563,700 cancer-related deaths (all sites).
**Every ten minutes, another child or adult is expected to die from leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. This statistic represents 151 people each day, or six people every hour. Leukemias are the leading fatal cancers in young men and women under age 20.

Happy Valday, too, SS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good for you, Cinders, and glad to see you are still in there kicking.

Tonight was the Dervish's #6 birthday party. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Let's see, he clobbered Val on the head "CUZ SHE TATTLED ON ME WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!", the dueling divas dueled, culminating in an offended Princess giving Val a ~gasp~ orange balloon when there were still pink ones left, and even the orange one was given grudgingly, the Princess came squee-ing to me because, as she was taking Poppa his soda, the Dervish popped a balloon right next to her ON PURPOSE and made her spill soda on herself, and the Dervish finally blew out his trick candles. Several times.

There are finally a few peaceful moments as they watch Holiday Inn, but instead of just vegging here I really should be getting ready to go. But a little vegging is still nice. Ahhhhhhhh.

AJ is almost into Washington state. He will be heading for home at warp speed tomorrow morning. It was so funny, too. His boss is east Indian, great guy and very funny, with an accent just like in Short Circuit. AJ called him today while I was in the office and found out about his reload. I heard his boss telling him, "Yah, I get you back here quickly, or your wife, she break my head!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Maybe I just had a militant set to my jaw, or a steely gaze, or sumpin.

Time to go back to the mill, lol, but just remembered one more thing. I didn't see until tonight when it was time to wrap presents, that the wrapping paper I had gotten him was sheer, except for little hearts. Sigh. So much for mystery. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Could have been worse....You could have forgotten him totally.

X and I got married on Valentine's day.....one year he came home w/ no offering for me. Though his job had him drive all over town in a regular sized vehicle and he could go out weekends, he said he hadn't had time. Well...I could have broken his head.

Back on page 3. Good grief!

Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate,


my kingdom (washing, ironing, bed making, cleaning, messy little boy) for Chocolate,



no particular reason I just wanted some Chocolate. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Forget page 3. I see we've been downgraded to 2 stars by some disapproving thread ranker. From 0 to 1 to 5 to 4 to 3 to 2--I think I'm beginning to detect a trend! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Today the evil day approaches. When I told Neak and Neaksis I would watch all the kids so they could go to Idaho for the launch party of their two books, I was thinking Sunday evening and taking them to school Monday and Tuesday mornings. Not too much actual babysitting. Not too bad. Well, what did they decided to do but to leave before sunrise on Sunday, leaving me all 6 kids all day long...and if that wasn't enough, Monday turns out to be a school holiday as well, so I'll have them all that day, too! At least it's not raining. Yet. I'll make them work outside for awhile tomorrow and wear 'em out for bedtime. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have several things to be done that can use mindless labor.

All I can say is that their mothers had better be having a jolly good time on their trip! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Are you saying your grandchildren are mindless? Are you saying you can actually get them to work? Will you tell me the secrets to getting them to work? Will you tell me the secrets to getting them to think?

Do you feel better? Count your stars.

Are they lucky?

t&l

Silly, you have 3 now!

[color:"purple"] Just for that, you need to sponsor me and get everyone in your family to sponsor me in my quest to raise money to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, and other blood cancers. [/color]

edited by Cinderella to add all the emphasis she could

6 kids ?

wow how lucky you are!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

6 kids times active gene of under teens = 36 kids

amazing, wonderful, fantastic luck is all I can say! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I mean, if it was up to me, I would just RUSH over to enjoy that special gift with you but sadly, so sadly, I am 15036.982753 km or 9344 miles 97 ft and 5 inches from your place (not that I want you to think i MEASURED IT <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ) ........ so that is just impossible.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

disappointing I know <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

well I had better not take you away from those 36 ,,,um I mean 6, darlings any longer you lucky you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

hey cinders every year we have a hair day to raise money for Leukemia research, we girls dye our hair bright colours like orange or green or purple or whatever and the guys shave their heads and we get sponsored for going it. We also have cross dressing days to raise $$$ for cancer as well ......I mean how bad is it when we gals get jealous of blokes dressed up in our gear? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> as my DD says ..Totally sad <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

You know, sometimes I wonder why I walked down this aisle. I feel so lost sometimes.

SS

Where I work, we can't do that sort of stuff.....'no solicitation' policy so I haven't even figured out how to ask my co-workers.

Jen, a link for you:

Kiwi Flower

I told Neaksis that she had to make some sort of a will before she left on this trip, so that I didn't have to worry about fighting with anybody over the disposition of her children (Their dispositions are bad enough already! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />). I've been after her to do this for years, with an acceleration over the last month or so. It needed to be notarized. Naturally, she dilly-dallied until tonight...and this is what she sent me. All I can say is that she'd better live through this trip! I do NOT want to have to try and present this to any judge in any court at any time! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />



February 17, 2007

I, Neaksis Vehicles, being of sound mind and soundish body (diets notwithstanding) Do hereby bequeath all my worldly goods and sundries, children, monies, et all to my mother, Thndrnltng Vehicles. It is my express desire that she gets everything, the whole kit and kaboodle, the whole enchilada, all of it. Especially the insurance money.

It is most definantely not my wish that the children go live with their biological parents. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!! That is not what I want at all. My mother, still Thndrnltng Vehicles, is to receive full legal custody, et al.

If I am incapacitated to the point of living in a perpetual vegetative state, it is OK to do away with me, but preferably not by starving me to death. Should this be necessary, I wish to be heavily sedated. And then have a very nice funeral.

These are my wishes for the disposal of all my worldly goods upon the event of my death for any cause, but probably a lack of oxygen due to the cessation of respiration for various causes.

I guess there's a reason why most people hire an attorney to do their legal work! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Well, the judge would weep for you and because they thought this was the funniest will they ever saw. Was the thing witnessed and notarized or whatever?
