I read, but I don't have time to comment (yet)
Thanks to everyone that writes. It's worth reading.

Yesterday, Princess TalksWithHerHands cracked me up.
We were walking from the car to the church building and had been talking about some forgotten topic. But, I distinctly heard her say, "When we get home, I'm going to look it up on the internet. That's why God gave us computers."

Lol, kids are so funny, and your Princess is a hoot! Yesterday, the Dervish came to me with his tongue bleeding, trying to talk while holding it sticking out of his mouth. I won't attempt to reproduce the result - you will have to imagine it. Dervish: Mom, my tongue is bleeding. Me: Oh, why yes, it is. Dervish: Guess why it is bleeding. Me: I have noooooo idea. Dervish: Because I didn't know that when I left my ice cream spoon in the freezer, it would get so cold and then I licked it and my tongue stuck to it and I couldn't get it off for a while and now my tongue is bleeding. Me: Careful not to bleed on the carpet. Isn't it nice when we can learn these interesting little lessons? AJ: (on the phone) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Dervish Nye the Science Guy.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> SS, a quick answer to your question of a few days ago, as I am not avoiding the subject. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Our finances, though not rosy and healthy yet, are past the CPR stage. Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!! We have a full and exciting pantry, and nothing is going to get shut off, so yee hah we're on our way! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Neaksis & I will still keep recycling even if we don't need to, especially now that she's found the mother lode of beer bottles. And at a moment's notice she can launch into an impromtu dissertation on the habits of the local beer-drinkers: which brands are the most popular, where to find the most cans, and how downhill slopes are really great for collecting unbroken bottles. (Ok, so I can too, but not with such eloquence.) Going to post this quick before our internet goes down again; I think they have been working on it the last few days, as we haven't been able to be online much.

I can imagine it very well - thanks for painting the picture. It cracked me up.
SS, a quick answer to your question of a few days ago, as I am not avoiding the subject. Our finances, though not rosy and healthy yet, are past the CPR stage. Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!!! We have a full and exciting pantry, and nothing is going to get shut off, so yee hah we're on our way!
It's none of my business really. I just......... I just worry when I get small cues...... and having been there ourselves more than once........
I know it's not much help to just talk about things, but wanted you to know that we care.
Neaksis & I will still keep recycling even if we don't need to, especially now that she's found the mother lode of beer bottles. And at a moment's notice she can launch into an impromtu dissertation on the habits of the local beer-drinkers: which brands are the most popular, where to find the most cans, and how downhill slopes are really great for collecting unbroken bottles. (Ok, so I can too, but not with such eloquence.)
Oh - I see.
I thought she was just shy, but I see we have been asking her about the wrong subjects. I'll have to sharpen up my beer bottle questioning skills, and THEN talk to her. Thanks for the heads up, I would never have guessed.
LOL.
Thanks for giving us more info about the TV star. I always wanted to know. It sounds like one of those kind of interviews that makes one stress over what they will say. I'm surprised none of you cued in the interviewer about her bottle collecting hobby, It would have gone so well with the rest of it.
(Smile Sis, we only tease you because...... well, because.)
Just came back from spending some time with Flard and a couple of his friends. We toured a wildlife refuge and saw elk butts and birds flying away (), but it was relaxed, friendly, and unstressful...not always the case when Christian parents visit their militantly-atheist son! He and I even had a pleasant and brief conversation about the Bible last night that was completely non-confrontational and to which he responded with surprising grace.
I continue to pray for your boys. Well, for everyone on this thread, but especially for them. I know God cares, and will help. Often it surprises me the way he goes about helping, but he knows more than I do. (that last is a very large understatement.)
It's been really cold here the last few days. Usually in this latitude if the sun is out, it's a nice day, but not this week. Cold even during the day. Supposed to warm up for the weekend, and that is good, because we are going to stay the long weekend in a little mountain town so the twins can play in the snow.
I hope to read a book or two, and get some real sleep. You know, the kind where you don't have to be somewhere in the morning, and you can wake up, and just lay there and smile.
CC, you don't say much about work lately. I would suppose that it's much the same as it has been. I guess it's good that you get a paycheck, but I really hope it works into something better over time.
So T&L is healing up nicely. How long before she gets to report back to work?
Cinderella, when the princess made that quote, did you laugh out loud, or did you manage to keep quiet?
I was doing some reading this week, and came across an article about attitude that was very good for me.
From John chapter 16
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
The author said that this commandment (be of good cheer) may be broken more often than any other Jesus gave to us. It set me to thinking.
That one verse says so much. I think I will work on doing better.
Good week for SS. My W didn't leave me, and none of the kids are in Jail. (see, I'm doing better already.)

Mom's foot is not so well at the moment, being infected, but is being treated with antibiotics and Epsom salts and stuff. Maybe she will have a chance to post about that soon.

So sorry. That has to be tough....... going through the operation, being down for so long, and then a relapse.
Encourage her to "be of good cheer" but stay far enough away that she can't hit you after you say it.
(I really am sorry, but I couldn't resist.)

I can run much faster than she can. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
And I asked Neaksis if her ears were tingling.

OK, I can see how that would be true. Now I can't wait for her to comment.
What was it McManus said (when speaking about one of his teachers) "Her sarcasm could kill a fly at 30 paces."
Oh No, he quoted class mates as saying that, but in reality "Maybe she could stun one, but I never actually saw one die from it."
And I asked Neaksis if her ears were tingling.
And she said?

She just looked at me suspiciously. She may try to kill me later, though. Mom has killed flies. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But right now she is in town, first getting her license renewed (there is a certain irony to being driven to the DMV to get your license renewed when you are her age), then picking up the divas and taking everyone to gymnastics. They even took the Dervish. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

All is well enough here.
When Princess TWHH made that comment, I did sort of laugh. It was ok - I think she did it to be a bit humorous. She's pretty witty - Prince CL is even wittier.
Going through a cold spell right now. Down into the mid 20s tonight.

I'm sure she was trying to be funny, too, but that doesn't make it any less funny, at least in this case. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
It's not terribly cold here, just barely below freezing these last couple nights.

I come in peas. A few carrots, too.
No one ever remembered to put on about the silly girlies and their dressup party.
Neaksis heard them as they played...
"Oooooh, look at this stuff - it's pink!"
"Ahhhhh, how pretty!"
"Kall-uh-...uh...meen? Oh! It's lotion!"
"Oh, goody! Let's put some on!"
So soon they were decked in their lovely pink calamine lotion. AJ was curious how long they kept it on after it dried.

It was 11 degrees F when I woke up Sunday morning.
