[color:"red"] ************** [/color] [color:"blue"] HAPPY BIRTHDAY SS [/color] [color:"red"] ************** [/color]

just before I forgot and you think you slipped it through us all ....hehehehehe <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Neak, I heard you were 'stoned'. I do hope you feel better very soon. OUCH. TT

Motherly sympathy. Humph. I was almost touched there for a minute.

Rella, maybe I missed it, but who is Chloe?

AW, it's kind of funny but I feel worse today than yesterday. You should have seen me when I got up. No, you shouldn't have. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

TT <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> My first time ever, tee hee. Boy, turn 35 and go all wild!

SS is it really your birthday? I didn't see your cake, but happy b-day anyway!

You notice how we all are SO glad its not us? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Well you know how it is with the Stones Neak, Just "can't get no satisfaction" , and you "Go Wild", if you leave the condition it's like you decide to "Play with Fire", however with doctors "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and when we heard Neak that you were going into Hospital we all were 'Worried About You" ...... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But lets not "Paint it Black" , I'm sure T&L was just like 'Susie Q" and told you Neak 'Baby I love you" and was praying that they could "Let it Loose" as quickly as possible. But at least "It's All Over Now". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I don't dare go back to the Hospital anymore they would probably say "Oh No, Not You Again" !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

OK OK I can hear you groan and say "Please Go Home" !!! ... (Aussie is going to rub my feet which I am sure are nowhere as sore as you are right now) Night dear one & all!!! lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Aussie said to say hi little sis and hopes you get better .... what he actually said about getting better was 'I'd rather have gravel in my bum than inside me" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.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="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
I got up off the couch where I was resting my sore foot and drove ALL the way to your house (it's more than 16 miles, after all! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />) Once there, I spent the next 4-5 hrs. catering to your every excretory need, and from one end to the other, too. I emptied your emesis Tupperware <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />--all 3 times--and didn't run away while you were filling it, as some unnamed female sibling of yours would've done. I attempted to analyze your urine via the sniff test--not specifically diagnostic, I'll admit, but successful enough to let me know something was wrong in Georgia. (Actually, in Neak. Georgia is fine! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) I brought you heat and ice for your back--not simultaneously, although I did suggest that as an alternative when you couldn't make up your mind which you wanted. I dragged you into bed and out of bed, laid you down on the floor and hauled you off of it. I rubbed your back and left your back alone. I allowed you to vomit up 2 doses of my precious prescription medicines, without any whining.........until now. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> There may be more, but you get the idea.

And then I drove with you to the hospital, freezing my unprotected bosoms in the frigid cold mountain night air, plopped you in a wheelchair and dumped you off just long enough so I could park the truck and re-expose said bosoms and bare arms to the chill as I hobble-raced (I'm odd on disability right now for a crippled foot) back to your side. I stayed there while they started the IV and gave you drugs and you sort of started drifting in and out. After an hour or so or this, I admit that I went out and starting chatting up the nurses, but quite frankly, semi-comatose you wasn't all that interesting at the moment. I admired the soup you produced for your urine sample, and then when you started to float again, the nurses and I visited some more. I waited a-l-o-n-e during your CAT scan (OK, I had magazines, but when have you EVER known me to go somewhere without reading material? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />), and talked medical details with the doctor. I went back out in the freezing cold to take you home (and being the driver, I couldn't hide my arms inside my shirt, either <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />), finally reaching your house as the sun started to come up, almost 10 hrs. after leaving the comfort of my own.

I made plans to pay for your antibiotics, and that was when I thought they'd cost $100, not the $4 total they've fallen to in the last 15 years since I knew the cost. (I'm paving the road to you-know-where with my good intentions, I'll have you know.) I brought you food and cranberry juice and threatened your children for you since you weren't up to it yet. And then, just because I made fun of you after you were better.................... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I'm shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED. And deeply wounded.

Superficially. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

t&l

I meant to say I'm out on disability right now. There is NO truth to that other rumor. None whatsoever. So there! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

t&l

Fuzzy.....all so fuzzy............

If half of what you say is true, I guess I should say thank you.




Thank you.

Don't overwhelm, inundate, bury, consume, or otherwise wash me away with the flood of your gratitude! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> You're welcome. I suppose.........<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

t&l

>as some unnamed female sibling of yours would've done.

Not this unnamed female sibling.

I ain't scared.

And, T&L, since you sound a helluva lot like me own bio-mum, I'm gonna call you on it and say you got to baby your baby, and it's GOOD to be needed by your kids.

Oddly bum foot and all.

Oh.

And if Neak is like me, she only wanted her mommy anyway...and she's eternally grateful that her mommy was able to do for her.

I don't know that I ever heard what your own bio-mom was like, so I'm not sure how to take that. I will say that everything that went on between Neak and me was intended to be humorous, although something may well have been lost in translation. Neak knows she can count on me.

t&l

P.S. Let's not forget Flard, Neakbro, or Neaksis either, or Flard's ex-wife, or, or, or, or.............. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I laughed - so it was humorous to me.

Neak knows she can count on me.

Pretty much everyone that knows you can count on you. I don't know you really well, but I know you well enough to know that.

I don't mean you will do any thing they want, but if something is really needed, you would move heaven and earth to help. I do know that much.

Yes, it was my B-Day on Monday. It's not in my profile, so the cake didn't show up.

We did have a cake

Chocolate - what else?

And yes, I gained weight yesterday.

Sorry the Lindt chocolates are gone, I'll get more next time. Or my W will, she got them for me as a treat yesterday to help celebrate. She got a Lindt Hazelnnut bar, and an orange bar too. All of them are good. (And no, I didn't eat them all myself.)

I meant to say I'm out on disability right now. There is NO truth to that other rumor. None whatsoever. So there!

What rumor?
The odd one that's always out there floating around?

BTW, How are Flard, and Neakbro? No one has commented on them for a while.
Jen to, how is she?

Odd rumors, but no hard facts. Hummmmmm.

Questions for you all -

Do you want to see photos of the Grand Canyon trip we'll be doing?

If yes, do you want more of the scenery....... or of the people?

Fuzzy.....all so fuzzy............

That's OK Neak, it clears up quite a bit once most of the kids move out. Or it did for us anyway.

I have passed stones myself, and I don't like it. It kind of takes the wind out of a persons sails for a day or two. Last time it was almost three hours after before I felt hungry again. Scared my W half to death.

T&L, do the windows not roll up on the vehicle? ......... or were the two of you on a motorcycle? I'm unsure why you were exposed to the cold night air.

I can't believe how much gets left out of these stories.

SS

Birthday boy! Yes, I mean you...the aging one. Glad it was a happy day. Right now I am being the cruel employer of the uneducated, minimum scale worker-to-be...that's right, the grandkid that has decided, for the 2nd day running, that he doesn't need to go to school. I need to grab my whip and get downstairs and make sure that the pumice stone toilet scrubbing is going well. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> So stories will have to wait until the end of what is shaping up to be a very long work day!

t&l

MMM.... Orange chocolate.

Barefoot Contessa made an orange chocolate fondue Sunday. MMMM.

Wish I could eat chocolate w/out getting a migraine tho.

T&L,

My mome is like you only she eats meat.

(giggle)

She is usually the first person I want when I don't feel well, and she made it to 2 of my 3 labors. That's when I REALLY needed her, and she was there!

BTW: I'm feeling icky. Bio mom can't make it...feelin' up to a trip to the Alamo City?

(sigh)

And it is a high compliment to be compared to my mom. When I grow up I want to be just like her (w/out the worrying).

Thank you so much then.


BWAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! You mean you can be mom without worrying? How come nobody told me?

t&l

Happy Birthday SS! I hope I'm not too late and I'm also sure you had a great one!

I wonder who read my daughter's. Good to know it was normal. Now, she gets a knee brace.

For All the Dog Lovers

No particular reason. I just found it amusing in spots.

t&l

Neak, Chloe is the baby I made over the weekend. She weighs in at almost 6 pounds. Her full name is Chloe Cornelia Johnson. Her dad is Prince CatLover.

Cat #1 = Cookie
Cat #2 = Calla
Dog = Zoe

Granddaughter = Chloe

See a connection?

Her middle name comes from the fact that the bulk of her weight comes from having a 5 pound bag of corn meal stuffed inside her torso. She would be a 'flour baby' if she weren't a 'cornmeal baby'.

I don't know how anyone could say it wasn't a bit of fun T&L ,, I laughed <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Of course it wasn't ME being stoned so I could <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

[[[[[Neak]]]]]
cause I really care but just had to give into the temptation of putting as many Stones songs into my last post as possible ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I have NO idea of any rumours .... well not here anyway <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Rella I can't do those civilised things, ask me to put up a cattle fence no problemo! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

SS I WANT chocolate, lots of it... why does it have to be so many Cal's?????? Its so unfair!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

DD is away in Canberra with her beau ( I heard that word on a Cary Grant movie I watched last night ... watching another one tonight called Operation Petticoat <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) cuddling my very frustrating and annoying man.

I mean, you'd think that a man who had just watched cricket for 8 hours non stop could do without clicking the tv across to more cricket to get the score .. on a replay of a game he watched earlier in the day for cripes sakes!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
He's just, so , so ,so ...... a MAN <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And I found Mikey in our bed this morning, about 5 am snuggled in between us lol .. looked so cute <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
