I got the dirt spread, and can hardly move now. I'll have to take pictures. Of the dirt, not me. That's what boys are for. You must not beat them nearly enough. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> We have bad soil here, but at least there is soil. Alkaline clay mixed with red sand. It will grow a good garden if you put organic matter in it every year for about 10 years. The frog said "Time's fun when you're having flies." That house looks very nice. Is the inside as nice as the outside? .......... probably you haven't seen it, so the question may be rhetorical. Cinders, we hope the injured person makes it OK. And........ you said more GOOD NEWS later, but we didn't get the more good news. I think your exact words were "I am pumped - got several reasons.... more in a later report!!!" So??? Hi AW. Hi CC Hi Neak Sis Hi everyone - I should just say that first, I know I miss people when I try to do names. I hope AJ is well. I don't know if I could drive like that for a living. SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

AJ is about 7 hours away. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> He is staying home the rest of the week. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I'd better get busy finishing (not that it is ever done, just undone and half-done) the cleaning.
I will at least have it looking nice.

Sorry Cinderella -
That is a difficult thing to cope with. I know he wasn't someone you knew well, but sometimes it is still hard when it happens like that.
You are doing well?

Get used to it. <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="" /> SS

Well, AJ's friend is visiting him here, so I had a few minutes to stop by for a visit. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Sorry about your poor man, Rella. That is very sad, but at least he wasn't alone.
I just realized that I was too busy rototilling on the 18th to notice that I was passing my 2yr anni on MB. A happy and proud anni among the other icky ones.
Yee haaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Two years!!!!!!!!!
I have been so blessed to find all of you.......thank you.

I was a bit of a mess after I found the local obituary. I was a real mess yesterday. Got chewed out by supervisor for it. Did much better today. I think I will send the parents a note through the funeral home. I will tell them that people did stop. That they tried to revive him. That he was not alone. That a group of people said a prayer for him as the ambulance pulled off. And that prayers were said for him until we got news - and now prayers are being said for them.

I hope you are much better now. Would you like a pretty photo to cheer you up? I finally got out and did a hike last Saturday with W and the twins. http://www.outdooroutlet.com/SS/view2.jpgThis is about the halfway point of our hike. Good for you Neak. Isn't there a song about that? Ohhhhoooo, I'm tilling my life away..... SS

Just beautiful!!!!!!!!!
That song sounds like a good one to sing while working. Then there's always, "Tilling me softly with his eyes....." "Till it up and let it overflow..." and many more.

Mom could think of lots more. "Un-till we meet again..."
I had a funny kid story to tell, and now I can't think of it. When I remember, I'll be back.
If I don't ever remember, I'll be back anyway.

well as long as the bruises are not lasting 'Till the end of time' then all is well <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> S-'till there was you' out in the yard working away 'till I collapse' if it was me. 'Till I Get Over You' rototillering like crazy I think I need to rest as you seem to keep going 'TILL KINGDOM COME' <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> oh well enough of that it seems its been going on 'From Dusk Till Dawn'. Hope you having a great time with AJ, say hi to him and the family. Weirdest dream last night ... gotta think about all the bits <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.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.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And it beats the Antipodes. How can you say that TL, we have tropical, sub tropical, Mediterranean, ,,,,, desert. lots of desert ... and the only snow you get is if you go to the mountains in winter.... sometimes. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> or if the snow machines are working <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> and we have lots of flat <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> miles and miles of it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and endless beaches, sunshine, no ozone layer but who needs one !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> and the US $ is worth 20% more here as well!! <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="" /> Would you believe I had no idea where the Antipodes are, except that they are far, far away? <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="" /> Heh, heh. I'm sure they're lovely. And living close(r) to you would certainly be a bonus <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, but I just really can't see us moving there any time soon. Or anywhere, at the rate the house is getting ready to sell. And it doesn't help that we, with our inimitable and perfect timing, waited until the housing boom was busting in order to try and make our move! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Oh, well, I've got a burial plot in Wisconsin, so one way or another, I'll eventually make it out of here. Whether I get to enjoy the move or not has yet to be determined! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Approx 3007 sq ft................ That's a lot of cleaning. Yes, Believer, it would be...if I were planning to be doing the cleaning! Why did you think I wanted to stay close to Neak and Neaksis? Love, you say? Oh, right. That was it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Actually, if we move I would probably be doing a lot of the homeschool teaching, and in exchange for taking the little terrors, I mean darlings, off their hands for the purpose of cramming some sense into their rocklike heads, I figure they can wash my dishes, vaccum, and dust. And cook. But other than that, I'll do it all!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Well TL thats the thing with housing booms, sell when its booming and you have to BUY when its booming, sell when its on the downward trend and you also then BUY on the downward trend. The trick as I see it is to buy when low and sell when high.... of course I've never been that good at getting it right though <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Can you believe that little ol' Perth was the most expensive city in the WORLD to buy a home last month? A block of land costs approx $300, 000 thats a 580 sq m block or about 6234 sq feet ... not that big really. I couldn't afford our place now. I'd have to live in a Donga in the bush . not such a bad idea actually. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> oh you ask whats a Donga ? Donga Not bad lived in barracks homes like that, bit close though for 4 people <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> My home is a lot smaller, you can come clean mine ANYTIME you feel like it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
