Hey Nam !

You are absolutely right. I have to get ready. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now don't get horrified but I'm going to make something that's very commun in uncivilized England... dye my eyelashes. Keep the ER at hand.

See you'll if I survive the procedure.

And let's not forget the serious damage gemela has done to the balance in the love bank. I feel like she is running a defecit.

It seems she tried twice, from what you said in pasts post.
The last one some days before leaving to US.

Oh my larousse! Dying your eyelashes sounds very dangerous. Now why would a, presumably, dark Latina need to dye already dark eye lashes? How about an eyelash curler with mascara?

Sorry Pio, I'm too wordly.

Nam. Latina's vanity had no end.

Lol.

LOL larousse. When I lived in Spain I noticed the women were very put together & would appraise one another with frank stares. Though I take care with my appearance I do not dress in heals for the store. To be fair though the morning shopping is quite social there. One is not only shopping but is out to be seen.

Are your lashes lovely?

What's the situation with your BF's visit? Inquiring (nosey) minds want to know.

Hello TKO group,

As Nams said:


...so I am back in the game!

...that's only because it's raining here in...QUEBEC, Todd, so...can't get ahead with my painting job...since I am so new at this, it takes me forever...

...WS had to put his .02 worth and 'finalized' the paint job I started while I was at work.....but there is lots more to do.....guess he didn't want to be left in the dust by his little BW.....

Hi Pio... don't think you can stop Kiwi from making a cake if she wants to....

Geesh...MEN.....control...control....control....

Happy 'belated' birthday, PIO!!!!!!

Larousse??? ...two dead S..??? What's up with that!

Pio, I don't think you should have such high expectations of G.... which is what I think fuels your anger (which may really be...Pio hurting....but doesn't want to show it?)

I think you should make her aware of your pre-requisites for R whenever....., which are basically your 'boundaries' and are 'dealbreakers' if not met..... and that you are not prepared to 'move forward' with R until she consents to them AND follows up with CONCRETE ACTIONS...because, words are cheap as you know ....and let her stew over them..... be ready to clarify any points she may not understand... without ANGER....give examples if needed.... and keep in mind that G. is 'ignorant' of MB principles.....and it will take WHATEVER.... until she gets it! ...but you have to be patient and not get 'mad' if she doesn't 'get it' on your schedule, OK? ...that's my .02 worth....

...would you all be insulted if I confessed that this thread is my excuse for not 'doing' some much needed housework? ...it WILL get done....at some point....not sure when!

...figures I would choose the LEAST high traffic time of the thread...

Anybody out there?

...otherwise...I will have no excuse NOT to do the housework!

Todd....whenever....(seeing you're the expert).....

Does Superman need to sleep, like us humans?

....Wonder how Larousse's lashes are doing.... because I am worried about you, you know!

Todd... how's your cooking coming along?

...and I guess Pio is busy being superdad to his DDs!

Well....I have left my MARK.....talking to myself!

....I have one last option to consider.... before HOUSEWORK.... I'll see if there is anything in TVland..... the Comedy Channel is one of my favourites ever since a got cable this summer... and movies! ....I didn't realize it... but seeing a 'neat' movie really hits the spot!

....you can guess that one of the other reasons I have soooo much time on my hands is because THE boys are not here with me (not my week!)...... otherwise I would have to FIGHT with them for computer time.....

...life in the 'fastlane' is really hard, you know!

Hi luna,

You are leaving a legacy of posts to yourself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Superman does not need to sleep. He can choose to sleep. I slept last night as a choice. It is quite liberating. I hate sleeping. It is such a waste of time.

I have not cooked. I ate at the Mexican restaurant last night. Too much pico de gallo I fear. It was very hot - too hot for me - and so today, I pay the piper. Ugh.

As for larousse and her eyelashes, my WW never dyed her eyelashes AFAIK but hers are so long it is pathetic. Fortunately, my sons inherited her eyelashes and the ladies seem to like the long eyelashes on them.

Now, I have studied and analyzed larousse's posts for a long time today. I have concluded how she killed her previous two BF's and undoubtedly, the same fate awaits the current one who desires to buy an engagement ring out of a coin operated machine, or perhaps the fabled, elusive diamond ring in a Cracker Jack box. She dyed their eyelashes and like the cheap glue on the wedding invitation envelopes that George bought, she used an inferior dye that leeched into their brains and well, the rest is history as they say. Despite larousse's fabled eyelashes, I seriously doubt that men are lined outside her door, if only because they desire to live a little longer.

I am hopping around here. Let's see, who fees the deer? Larousse's BF? We used to feed the deer 100 lbs of deer corn a week. Beautiful things to watch, except that they fight over the corn. Apparently in nature, they are okay. Perhaps the abundance of trees and grass causes them to instinctively calculate no short supply. But 30 lbs. or so of deer corn strewn on the ground must look attractive, yet feeble to them, so it is every deer for himself. Another pattern I noticed is that a Doe will chase off every other deer, including bucks, to ensure that her fawns get enough food. Do not get between a mother and her young. I am reasonably sure this applies to any species, including humans.

Okay, hopping back to Luna. So it is raining in Quebec? Unless I have my members confused, you had asked whether your WH should still function as the handyman for y'all's (like the double apostophre?) properties. Or was that Nams. I am so confused. Anyway, I would do the things you can do and hire a handyman to do the rest. I would not invoke the services of WH as handyman. Plan B seems to be absolute and I would keep the house dark so to speak.

Okay, the issue arose as whether one could "control" kiwi to not bake a cake. What person would want to stand in the way of someone baking a cake? Especially if it is a red velvet cake. Have you had red velvet cake? Oh my goodness, it is the zenith of cakes.

I know I am missing something here but I think I am going to be sick. Gotta go. No time to edit, sorry.

Nams, will get to your career/education issues in a little while.

Hi Todd,



Yes...Todd...that would be me!



If only things were that simple...where I live is 'off limits' for WS....but where I live has several apts and we have tenants.... I am letting WS handle the 'tenants' and at best 'outside' maintenance....because we are co-owners and I do believe he has the legal right to share in the 'responsibilities'.... and to be honest.... it would be too much for me, anyway!.... I view it as the same way we share 'responsibilities' of the boys! ....where I LIVE.... that's another story...if I can't do it myself.... I hire! He left...so....I am in 'charge' of chez moi!!!!!



Hate to say it....but it looks like you were right....



Hope you will feel better soon....Superman!

Poor Lunamare, carrying on a one way conversation. I understand completely. I will do practically anything to avoid house work.

I'm working myself up in quite a state over the choices I'll need to make about my employment future. One friend referred to it as a funk. Close.

As to you having your WH working on property you own...difficult. I've made a deal with ex, he can leave his crap here if he does maintenance on the house. Granted you & I are in very different places regarding spouses, mine is ex yours is in the dark.

Is this property you own together? Will you benefit from keeping it maintained, or from the sale if it needs to be sold? If it's easy enough for you to share the work with your H why not have him share the load. Send him a letter with needed work & a schedule for splitting the work. Be prepared for him to show up when you don't want him there & decide if the inconvenience of that is worth the work he'll do.

touché

However, in Superman's defense, it is now clear that the peppers were laced with Kryponite dust. Ergo, my reaction is understandable and defensible, right?

Poor Todd, running back & forth to the potty. Maybe get some Desitin for your sore bumm.

Time to go to the track with my middle son. He runs, I walk. Much better than house work!
