Murphy - No the royal jester never showed up to take care of the royal grounds at my castle. I spent four hours in the yard Sunday, pulling junk, trimming, all that stuff that goes into keeping your landscaping looking decent. Gave myself a respiratory infection. Got big time antibiotics yesterday. May feel human by tomorrow or Friday. The cruds make me feel bad, the antibiotics don't help, and I can't talk to my children in a loud enough voice or for long enough. No bed time stories or lullabies since my lungs don't like the breathing task normally assigned to them. No other organs volunteer to take over. <P>Why don't you come over and just cut my grass. At this point that's the next big outside job and I really don't think I can do it.<P>When I have my dreamhouse, I will have a yard covered in groundcover that only gets a few inches tall and doesn't have to be mowed.

Cinderella,<P> Ok,you pay my way to Nashville,and put me up in that fancy hotel,and I'll cut your big lawn.<P> Do we have a deal? <BR> <BR>None of those cheap $150/night rooms,either.<BR> I want the penthouse suite with the hot tub!<P><BR> ~~Murph

Murphy - I hate to disappoint you. I plan on seeing you in Nashville in January. You better be here. But I'll be doing well to put myself up in a big fancy room.<P>It would be cheaper to hire out the yard.

Mitzi<P>So nice of you to drop in on my thread ("Earn the Right to leave.....)just to say hi!<P>Well, I felt one good turn deserves another, so I thought I'd drop in on you.<P>I still lurk and keep up with this thread, just been awhile since I posted. Are you doing ok? Any new developments in your situation?<P>I see Murph is still alive and kicking! Hey Murph....this one is just for you!<P>2 blondes walking down the street, one looks down and sees a compact lying on the sidewalk. <P>She bends down to pick it up, opens it and sees a mirror. "Oh gosh", she exclaims as she looks in the mirror, "she sure looks familiar".<P>The other blonde grabbed the compact away from her, looks in it and says "You stupid blonde, that's me!"<P>I see that 2000 might become a reality..to be honest after the 1,000th post (Yea! I claimed the 1,000th post); I never thought we'd reach 2k.<P>Just wanted to say hi to all my friends here besides Mitzi and Murph...hi Butterfly and all the rest!<P>By the way, we have had 62 straight days without rain here in Texas and almost as many straight days of 100 degrees+ // I do like hot weather...but I am ready for fall.<P>[censored] from Texas (Fort Worth)

Hi everyone......I'm still alive and kickin'. Just gotta do it anyway, even if I don't feel like it right now.<P>Hey, after I submit this reply I should be able to go mix myself a drink while I'm waiting for it to post.....I think I will, gosh darn it!!! Why not? I'm on vacation and I'm now single. (UGH)

Mitzi - I know you're going to ask - whatcha drinkin'? I bought some Stoli Vanilla Vodka to mix with OJ - tastes like a creamsicle.....a little too sweet for me, but it was worth a try.....what did I do with that bottle of Chivas??? Can anyone say puke your guts out by tomorrow morning?<BR>(I'm only kidding......sort of.....maybe...)

I'm drinking water! Ya'll are dropping the ball here.<P> [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]<P><BR>Have you ever thought how ridiculous it sounds for a bunch of divorced people from a Marriage Builders bulletin board to be flying/driving in to meet?

Butterfly,<P>School went good this week. It was tirng for the boys though. They just have a rough time getting up at 6:30am! LOL Definately not morning people! LOL<P>[censored],<P>I posted about an appointment with my lawyer. I'm really doing good. And so are my boys. The only problem they have is that their father only seems to remember that they exist about once a month. But if things go as scheduled, I'll be divorced on the 21st of this month. <BR>Thanks for asking! <BR>BTW...loved the joke! LOL LOL LOL<P>Mitzi

Well,let's see how long it takes for my post to go through tonight.<BR>Let's see,it's 8:08PM<P> ~~Murph

OK Murph,<P>I'm just posting this to see if your post shows up!<P>Jodie

Jodie,<P> Wow,that's too weird!<BR> So you have to post to read the post before?<P> ~~Murph

Hey, good morning to all!!<P>By the time this posts I'll have gone upstairs, grabbed a cup of coffee, installed the new washing machine, put in a load of laundry ---- heck, maybe it will even be time for lunch (let's see, it's now 8:30ish - yep, just about enough time to make tuna salad). <P>I'll check in later.

Murph,<P>Yep, I guess that's how it's working! LOL LOL If that's the case, it's gonna be a real job trying to make it to 2000.<P>Claire,<P>How come yours showed up so soon???<P>Jodie

Mitzi (Jodie) ~<P>Clean livin', I guess. I just had enough time to clean the litter box, sweep & mop the kitchen floor and grab a cub of cofee!!<P>Maybe I should start posting as Bridget - people have told me I look like Bridget(is it Bridget?) Fonda - compliment (?). We could be the movie stars of the board.....

Bridget,<P>There's a whole section in this thread where we all discussed what we look like and who we've been told we look like. I've been told that I look like Jodie Foster, Gina (w.g.up.h) looks like Marilyn Monroe, Jo (Resilient) looks like Daisy Fuentes and Murph looks like Mel Gibson! (Now you know why all the ladies keep talking to him!! LOL LOL)<P>I'm not getting anything done! Think I should get started?? LOL<P>Mitz/Jodie

Hey Claire/Bridget,<P> You must have the magic touch on this thread.<P> You coming over to clean my kitchen floor?<BR> A tuna salad sounds good,too.<P> Looks like it's a gonna rain.... <P><BR> ~~Murph

Bridget,<P>See how he is?? Always trying to get someone to do the work for him. Poor Lora! He's been trying all summer to get her to do his yardwork! <P>Maybe this thing is finally gonna work right!<P>Jodie

Mel ~<P>It must be something about Kent - the sun is shining at my house!!! Maybe it's just because BI is better than Kent <P>I told you guys - clean livin'. And, no, I won't be over to mop your floor, I hate cleaning the house - just something I <B>have to do - UGH!</B> Maybe Bridget would come over to do it for you though... <P>Where are those delivery guys with my washing machine? Time's a-wasting. I guess I'll just have to stay on-line until then.

Bridget,<P>Delivery guys are never on time! HEY!! They just might be gorgeous looking delivery GODS!!!!! <P>I hate to clean too! Notice I'm not doing it! LOL<P>Jodie
