lunamare,

The answer to your question is I have no idea. I honestly cannot fit it in no matter which way I turn it. I suspect I will be sound asleep whenever she gets here. I have no idea what I will wake up to. That is a weird feeling. She will likely get here about 1:00 or 2:00AM. Who knows? I might wake up dead.

NA beer is Non-Alcoholic beer. Bleech!!!

Well, no sharing in this matter.
Israel was the first place we visited together and I always felt a special attraction for H because he grew up there (I guess is the army/ tough thing). One more of my illusions that was scattered...

Hi Pio,



....and?....are you planning to stay asleep the whole time she'll be there, or what?

...just kidding!

so...you are planning to live under the same roof even though, for now, G. has not made known to you what her intentions are re M? ...but I supppose you will want her to answer THAT question at some point... and go from there?

...in the meantime... keep enjoying your girls.....



wassshhhhh.....



BTW....Pio... you're a real softy, in case you didn't know it!

Just being practical. If I tell her they are going to take the knife to teddy and cut him from top to bottom, rip out his guts, stuff him with a new snorer and sew him back up with a huge needle and thread, imagine what she will remember if SHE ever has to have any surgery.

We had a real struggle last night. She was holding teddy and started to cry because she didn't want to be without him for one night. I told her teddy didn't have to go and that I was only thinking of taking him so he could have a new snorer but it was up to her. Besides, I told her, I was hoping teddy would take care of me for the night so I wouldn't be all alone but that maybe teddy should stay here. Later I went upstairs, went into my room carefully making my way through the minefield of Bratz and she was sitting on the floor with teddy and DD2 was complaining that she would not play Bratz. She told me she just wanted to spend a litle more time with teddy before letting him go with me. So she took teddy and changed his underwear and put on his bunny rabbit outfit again (he is really a confused bear), put him in a baby carrier with his favorite blanket and toys and put that in the stroller so he will be comfortable.

Now I made a gaff because DD2 saw all this and decide to send her FAVORITE teddy with me. She can't live a second without that bear (which is really a rat BTW but she thinks it's a bear). I can't begin the count the cummulative hours I have spent looking for that bear just so she could go to sleep (including waking up the neighbors). Anyway I told her ratbear (okay "teddy") should stay here. She started crying. I caved and told her that ratbear could come with me and she was happy. This lasted all of about 5 minutes until she started bawling because she couldn't let the bear go and she reneged on her offer. I agreed it was best. At the 11th hour she substituted for some stuffed dog I have never even seen before (and she probably hasn't either) that I am sure has zero sentimental value. Just goes to show what DD2 thinks of me.

estrela,

What I meant was, there are a lot of people WAY ahead of you in trying to reclaim Israel and THEY have weapons. AND if Israel learns of your intention to try to reclaim it, well, you could end up on CNN as your house instantly disappears at the end of a missle-cam video as the screen goes blank. Trying to reclaim Israel is serious business.

I want to be there to see the look on the chambermaid's face when she sees the stuffed toys on your pillow at the hotel.

DD (26) found her old stuffed dog just before they went overseas. He needed restorative surgery on his arm? and leg. I said I'd mend him. Every time she came over she asked if I'd mended him yet. I told her there was a long waiting list for non urgent surgery. LOL. We WERE both kidding around.

I just spent the last seven hours catching up on this thread. Man, y'all can talk!

Pio, I was at my friend's house spending time with him and his wife. I generated the nucleus of an Excel based inventory system and it now has to be populated. I also discussed buying half of his business and being responsible for high-level marketing. Here's the rub: he is a small thinker and I am a big thinker. He wants to change, to grow, but every step of the way, he fights me. If it works at all, it will take time.

Please help me. I know regreted and tear are the same person. Is larousse also part of the triumvirate?

Yes, I know inventory mangagement is best reduced to a database. Have I mentioned my friend?

Welcome back Todd.

Thanks BigK.

Welcome back Todd. You've been missed (despite no one mentioning you for about 10 pages). <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Jen.

Methinks that was a left handed compliment.

Let me see...both generally want the same goal. 50/50 share. Can't agree on anything and fight all the time and, as a result, never get anything done.

Dude, if that is what you want, I wouldn't buy half his business - I would just get remarried.

OTOH, At least with a business you can protect your personal assets through LLC laws.

On second thought, buy the business. It will have the same basic appearance as marriage but will cost you far less.

I heard Jamal from th street watched that tape last week.

This morning he woke up dead.

How in the he!! do you wake up dead?

'Cause you're alive when you go to sleep.

You're telling me you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?

MAHALIK:
You can't go to bed dead!

- That sh-- would be redundant.
- No, it wouldn't.

'Cause you can go to bed and not be dead.

And you can die but not be in a bed.

But you are in a bed, man.

That's how you wake up dead in the first place!

Damn! That's some quantum sh** right there, man!

You should be teaching classes!

LOL Pio.

Todd it wasn't meant to be a back handed compliment. I meant that you may not think you were missed because no one mentioned you.

ToddAC,

Just so you know, since you've been gone, I have been DJed here multiple times. Regreted blew in and I have no idea what she said but I'm sure it wasn't good.

I posted her email address so that hopefully many people will bombard her and eventually her husband will catch it when he reviews her emails. I also posted her two screen names that I can remember against their registration numbers so that she can change screen names again but can no longer hide it without registering under a brand new email address.

Even Grownup DJed me on this thread. The nerve of her telling me I'm not perfect! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Quick recap:

Lunamare, we have discovered is at the very least a closet Italian. Larousse ran off and got engaged to a box of cracker jacks. KiwiJ is snooty. 2much - well you'll just have to read that one. I can't really break it down without missing the theme. Nams is going to Italy - maybe to see lunamare - don't know for sure. And there has been some speculation that you and bigK are the same person. Oh and Ahuman has accused me of being a French-basher of all things. And the one that I didn't mention - that is for obvious reasons if you go back and read.

Well I can say that the quality of song lyrics improved.

5,000 posts to my name and this is all I get.

Todd and I are the same person? Whe suggested that? Oh yeah. Pio just did.

Non-snooty people don't look at their post count.

Further investigation into the ToddAC / bigK issue: I have spent dozens of hours carefully analyzing both of their posts and I notice that they both have exactly the same handwriting. They dot their i's and cross their t's in exactly the same way. Highly suspiscious.

Or is it un-snooty? Who has the dictionary?
