The '12 Days of Christmas' don't start until Christmas Day. So, they don't end until 01/06. So, I give you permission to stall.

I couldn't give it a 10 out of ten for humor because real life intrudes sometimes, and it can be harsh. We use humor to make it more livable, but there are often things I read (between the lines) that are very sobering, and prompt me to pray for all of you.
Welcome back, SS. Where you bean?
More computer problems - almost non stop since Mid November.
I won't bore you with details this time..... but it's not been fun, and I have been stressed over it. There are three in my office in various stages of reapir, but I have enough running to run the cash registers, and the accounting department, so I can wait for parts for the ones that are down. One needs a power supply, one a CPU, and one I don't know yet.
How about you T&L? You are pretty quiet about how you are doing. Are you happy with your progress? Are you feeling good enough now that you can do something daily besides just exist?
I wonder how Cinderella's health is holding up.... how Neak's family finances are doing (but it's not really my business, and I don't expect you to comment) Just wanted you to know that prayers continue.
Also -
How CC is coping with work these days, or lack of it, jobs being what they are in her country.
If CC has vacation plans yet for this year, and if she will be coming by to see us.
How Neak Sis is doing - and why she was on TV. (I couldn't resist that one, and yes, you can still tell us.)
How Cinderella's health is holding up, and if her supervisor ever wised up and started treating people like people.
How the clam is doing these days, and if he is much help to you as you go through your ordeal.
What's up with Neak Bro, and Flard. Haven't heard much about them lately, and I really was wondering how they are.
How KaylaAndy's health is these days..... but I don't know if she will read this and comment.
I wonder about lots of other things too, but that's enough for tonight.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Not enough time to chat, but I have been going on internet withdrawal. All our electronic stuff has been knocked out from the storm, although our electricity at least stayed on. (Haven't been home to check and see if it's still on after this latest round, so I may be speaking prematurely.) Thank you for the prayers, neccesities not luxuries always. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Hopefully I will get to come back soon with time to chat. In the meantime, here is a quote from the Dervish at potluck today, talking to one of the ladies at church. "Your little boy came in the bathroom and just pulled his pants all the way down." [Insert brief explanation that the little boy was not trying to be inappropriate - as an action like that would cause great alarm at any of our houses, but was still learning proper toilet etiquette.] Dervish, cont. "Oh. That's good. Mom, I'm so glad you already trained me to keep my pants up. When I go pee, I just pull my pants down a little and make a hole just big enough for my penis to come out." Neak: *gulp* "Wow, Dervish, thank you for sharing that with all of us. At lunch." ....while Mommy crawls off and dies..... Always, always, it could have been worse. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Well, that was interesting.....And graphic.
SS - they are pretty much leaving me alone. I like it that way. I'm working hard these days. That's all the news that is news from the office. I don't have a supervisor, manager, or director that doesn't need some training and skills. I feel sort of sorry for my supervisor. He doesn't have decent mgmt people above him.
But, that's life.

This is an odd place. You can't say "******;" you get automatically bleeped even if you're talking about the place as part of a religious discussion, and not telling someone to go there. But you can say "penis" (and some people, thankfully unnamed, actually do! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />), and nothing happens at all! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Believe me, if I had the option to censor the Dervish I would. I'm not sure which was worse, him saying that at all, or me sitting there with my mouth hanging half-open and full of food. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
AND my internet is finally back!!!

I always taught my boys the proper names for body parts. And they used them!
I nursed them both for 3 years (I know, much too long), and with my oldest, weaning happened very soon after he grabbed at by girls (in line at the grocery) and said "Mom, give me a tit".

Yep, Neak, they sure are. Enjoy your little ones while you can. They grow up much too fast. I know it doesn't seem like it, but they do.
I've been blessed with strong, healthy, and good kind boys. But I still miss those earlier days.
One of these days they will bring home a girl (the one I've been praying for since they were born), and they'll be gone.

Hi all everyone doing ok? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> don't worry B ..... before you know it you will be over run with grandkids and wishing you had a moment to yourself ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Just ask my mum <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> ...... its school holidays here until 4 Feb and she has 5 of them right now for a week or two ........ or three <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> gee mum is lucky <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.

He's watching cricket, cricket replays or both so he's happy as larry ..... Mikey sleeps so he's not too bothered at all ........ the rest of us just glare at him <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> ......... while scratching <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> not EXACTLY the togetherness I was after <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> but oh well it's not a great drama ,,,, just a pain in the you know where <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

The family that scratches together stays together?
Tell Mum we miss her, too. SHE didn't get it, did she???

No MUM IS OK...... we are not allowed to visit <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ... but I want to share family experiences <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> what really irks though is that the boys .... the harbringers of the ITCH ...... are hardly affected at all ..... while we girls are covered in it .... and we are all on some type of annual leave as well. bloody useless men!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> and I'm not sure which is worse ... 5 girls from 8 to 13 or the itch <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> they both last from dawn to dusk and beyond over the next week or two or three <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I think my dad was considering coming over here and giving us all a hug until he got it so that he could get some peace and quiet .... we would probably know if he actually communicated <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I hear pubescent girls are very contagious. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Hope you don't catch anything from them. So how much longer are you quarantined? Figures the useless men are fine. Oops, did I say that out loud? My bad. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Hope you are all well and itch-free very soon.
