We are going to have a 'Birthday Dinner' for Aussie today, its his birthday today!! His brother & family, mum & dad, and myself, Liz & Mikey. Not as good as when he's home but as we can't have that we'll have what we can. TL don't worry about cleaning YOUR house, just do mine <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Rella look where you shouldn't have left it, the real 'no way' place and it'll probably be there. Unless you left it at a gym or when training? or under the couch, bathroom, spare room, kitchen ...I find lots of lost things in the kitchen. Of course you could ask your kids... they probably know where it is or have seen it. Good luck and have a great time doing the race!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It worked....I found it - this morning!!!!!
I went.
I walked.
I walked.
I walked.
I walked.
AND!!
I walked.
I finished vertical.....
It took almost 4 hours with one potty break. One stop for Tylenol.
Two stretch breaks.
Couldn't have done it without Jessica and Gail - teammates
My foot started hurting before the start!!!
I thought about quitting.
Jessica and Gail kept me going.
I got my medal.
I got my special moment in my life!
It was excruciatingly painful.
But, I did it for those who couldn't - people like David, Lee, Jillian, Dustin, Hannah, Larry, and Andy.

Rella you are a champion!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> What a great job to have done that. Now that you know you can do that, when do you go to do the New York Marathon? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Myself, I'll stick to walking to the shops up the street and back <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Did you find the knee brace in the place it wouldn't EVER be? or the kitchen? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Again a great job and well done!!! AW

I found it under the couch in the den....just a few feet from the last place I saw it. Thank goodness...I wouldn't have made it without that thing. I almost didn't make it anyway!

Been internetless for 2 days now.
The Clam (oops, Dad I mean), was most distinctly unclammish today. Wow.

Wow. <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="" /><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="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> If it weren't 12:30 in the morning, and if you're not already asleep I don't want to know WHAT you're doing, I would so be calling you up to find out what on earth you're talking about! He wasn't unclammish with me!!!! All I heard about his visit was that yes, he'd gone across the lake while I was asleep and had seen you guys and that he had brought me back some cookies. (Thank you, by the way. I brought them to work and already had to threaten someone with violence to get them left alone long enough for me to eat them myself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />) Just what don't I know this time? t&l

In case I can't catch you by phone...I sent you an email from TurboTax saying los federales rejected my tax return and it needs to be refiled. Since it's in your computer, guess what that means?

TL is hiding in Mexico until it all blows over????? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Our Tax Office has long decided to NEVER to refuse ANY lodgment. They just take the shirt off your back for any mistakes <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Our workplace has at 'random' broken up managers into Group A & B to enable all mangers to attend the annual planning session for next year. Group A , me, which 'happened' to have all of the females went on Tuesday & Wednesday so the other half group B could stay and cover the various work places. Group B today & tomorrow are at the planning session while we of group A cover for them. Clever yes? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> you see the managers are also supposed to car pool the G cars so work as usual can go on with our field officers being able to travel using the pool cars. Now it just so happens that Group B (the men) couldn't agree who would pool with who, so they took ALL the cars stranding 900 workers for 2 days. SOMEONE asked the internal web page rumour site if it was true that as Group B couldn't even plan to car pool should we all be scared about the plans for the future???? Don't now who would do something so cruel though <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

AW, I think you would be wise to be scared. This sounds like government or big business. Small business could never afford to let them get away with taking all the cars just because they wanted to. Now they will ask for more money for more cars, because they don't have enough to go around?
I hope things are well with you when you read this.
T&L,
Was thinking about you and wondering how things are going.
Wishing for good health for you - both kinds.
And I hope everyone smiles today, because I understand it's good for your face.

I gave blood today. I guess I was less well recovered than expected. I've given over 100 units. Got through the whole donation, was waiting for my bandage.....then started feeling really weird and asked to elevate my feet/lower my head. It passed in a few minutes....Don't know what happened. But, fortunately, it's over.

Be careful, Rella, blood is so important to have, especially in your head. Tax problem solved, I think. My bad, but not sure how it happened, but it had Dad's SS# for Mom, and hers for his. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> So Mom can come back from hiding now. So much to tell, and so little time. Having so little internet doesn't exactly help, either. Le Clam. Well, he came to the school fundraiser, the "Creep Breakfast," as Neaksis' unlearned eldest referred to it, with more accuracy than he intended. Dad came and ate with us, we all had a nice chat, then Dad was just standing up to leave cuz his allergies were bothering him, and AJ & I were just about to go wash cars to earn our free breakfast (helpers eat free), when AJ asked him one little tiny question about the frustrations with his job. I stayed for a while, but finally had to go work hard enough for the both of us. Dad talked and talked and talked and talked and talked. Just the little bit I heard, I think I learned more about him than I knew in my whole life. He traced the history of his company, from when he started and they all literally had to get a requisition form signed directly by the company prez if they needed a box of paper clips, to the same prez having guided them to a $6 mil a month corporation. And the first act of the new company who bought them out, was to fire that same president. He talked about some of the different designs he has made over the years, literally reshaping the face of the entire hitch industry. One example would be the hitch for the Ford F-150 and something else, where everyone said it was impossible to design a hitch that could be used on the standard pickup as well as the heavy duty one. He did it, and now it is in use everywhere. He has had people approach the company from as far away as China, offering to produce for real cheap some of the same distinctive hitches they pirated straight from Dad. Then there is the W thingy that is part of the hitch whatchamahoozit, that Dad invented, and Ford now uses on their hitch assemblies. Keep in mind that these are just snippets from when I mosied in for a few, and that even more went on that I didn't hear. And lots about the Swedish (or was it Swiss) industry for hitch-making, that I won't try to repeat or I'll get it all wrong. By the end, the conversation had worked its way around to the moving project, and Dad was sharing the zillions of statistics in many areas, that he has found for the different counties and states. Where did he find the time to learn all that???? Oh yeah, he doesn't have little kids anymore. Maybe someday I'll learn stuff, too. They did major manly bonding, and wow did Dad ever talk a lot! I hear they have even replaced his picture in the dictionary next to the word 'taciturn'. With some auctioneer guy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Oh, AJ is in MT right now, for about a week. He had to go out there and pick up the extra trailer, and was putting in a week of farm labor while he was at it. He is going to go to the church in Plentywood and take them a book, so that should be fun. He asked me the other day, "How does it feel, having your husband for your biggest fan?" Well I'll tell you, it feels pretty good. He even has one of my songs for his special ring when I call. I think my muffins are done, so I will sign off the FHP aisle, jot one or two other quick notes, and go back to sleep. Good night and hugs, all my dear friends.

The older you get, the harder it is to lose weight...because by then your body and your fat are really good friends!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Yes, and your body, and exercise are usually NOT good friends.
Don't I know it.
I drag my body around to all kinds of places it doesn't want to go, and it uses pain as a means of protest.
Ah - but life goes on...... and on....... and on.
You made me laugh T&L - thanks.
