It's fun to have company, if they are the right kind of company. Sounds like they were.
(And I would have bet they were, right up front.)
Sweet dreams everyone. I'm off on another trip. Be back next week for a few days before going on the next one. (the next one is work, so don't get too excited for me.)

I haven't adjusted the time for the difference between my time, and the MB server time. IT's not as late for me as it might seem. Of course, this begs for me to ask you a question right back, but I won't. LOL.
Lets see........... what else do I need to pack?
Camera
Potatoes
Bread dough
book
more ice?
Jerkey
Apple.....

Have a great trip SS. Wasn't that bridge collapse just terrible? those poor people... bet it was due to risk management & saving some money .. sigh .... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> my DD got good news today .... her man is coming home next week!!! she's walking around humming like a bee and so happy! God is good to us. I'll breathe a sigh of relief the moment he walks in the door. One less to worry about. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Rella that would have been so much fun to meet the neaks and they you. Now if I had an few odd $20,000 laying around I might just be able to pop over <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Let me tell you, I wish I had $20,000. I don't think I'd be coming to Oz yet....Would pay off every, every thing but the house and do some repairs on it. Sheesh....anyone want to guess what I spent on school things today.
Socks, undies, paper, binders, spiral notebooks, markers, pens, erasers, shoes, shirts, slacks, SHEESH!

One last quick note:
We have been pretty occupied during this little time home, since Friday I found out that the Dervish had been molested by another child outside the family, so yesterday Neaksis and I went and talked to the mom, who is a good friend of ours.
This is not an attempt to keep you hanging, there isn't too much more to tell. She took it as well as you could expect anyone to, and sadly this is all too familiar for us already, it has just been a little while since we had to deal with it. So we are fine, just taking care of things, much more worried about the other mother.
Love to all,
Neak Clampett

I was very sad to hear of little Dervishes experience and I pray he is & will be ok through this Neak.
Please let us know how all is going.

How is the Dervish doing? Has it made a difference?
We hope everyone is well.

This one is for T&L.
I went to the Hospital the other day to visit a neighbor who broke his leg. As I entered the wing he was staying in, I noticed a nurse wearing a little red enamel pin in the shape of an apple. Further down the hall, there was another nurse wearing one, and as I got to my friends room, I noticed yet another. "What does that little pin represent?" I asked.
"Oh, it doesn't represent anything," she said. "It's to keep the doctor away."
It may be an old one, but it made me laugh.

See everyone next week, after the trade shows. In the early years, it was fun to go, but now, I like being at home better.
Oh well.

Today at least, the Dervish has been good. I have been sick in bed, so everybody has gotten as much TV as they want.
I spoke too soon. Neaksis came over, and had to take the Dervish head-on. He was even worse than the small, vicious wild beast he had turned into since Friday.
There had been some relapses from his wonderful behavior of earlier, and which coincide approximately with the time of his abuse, but I just didn't know that was what it was from. But since he told, he has been a small raving monster.
I am keeping faith that he will get better, hopefully soon. Certainly he is somewhat subdued after losing his hour-long battle with his auntie.
Really, we are not too bad, though. It is hard, and will continue to be so, but so many worse things have happened. This we at least know how to deal with, even if it is unpleasant.
Thank you for the prayers, and SS have fun at the trade shows.

Oh Neak, I am so sorry. Not only do we have to worry about adults, there are also other children who abuse. I'm so thankful that he told and you were receptive.

I could have sworn I posted??????? I know I wrote back to y'all, but don't remember exactly what I said. "Thank you" featured highly, anyway.
The Dervish has been mostly good today, with only a few brief violent outbreaks. Mr. C has been passable. I am still dragging my behind a bit, but got some stuff done, as opposed to yesterday, where I accomplished nada, but slept plenty.
AJ didn't leave out today with Mr. C like he was supposed to, since now the soonest his load will be ready is tomorrow. It is more of those military crates, and not all of them had made it to the central shipping place yet.
Right at this moment, the Dervish and AJ are watching the Planet's Funniest Animals, and laughing up a storm as they watch little kids getting attacked by birds and lobsters and stuff.
Oh, I forgot to mention, AJ is going somewhere in NY this time, possibly Syracuse. Great except for all the toll roads...

HI Neak (waving madly from the crowd in this house), are you 'trippin' again in that nice family travelling way? Or are you home and cooling down a bit? TL where have you been? Are you vege-tatin' and working your behind off? Mum went through a WHOLE host of tests last 2 days in Hospital ... however everything is ok apart from having Irritable bowel syndrome apparently, caused by stress so the docs are saying ... they put things down and up and in and around and every way you can imagine. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I mean its not as if we dont get enough of that in any event <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Just try to advise your dad or H to go get a prostate check and you'd think you have asked them to cut off an arm or a leg for the fun of it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
