Well, Doc's Girl, I've been off cigarettes for years. I did it with Nicorette gum. The down side is that ten years later, I still chew the gum because I am addicted to it!!! ha! Traded one addiciton for another.<p>Dawn...I have a kid friendly house, no need for sitters...bring the little ankle biter over.

well catnip,
I am sorry you must rush off, your cat has been let out, However I must be off, work calls and I need to actually do something, working at home is great, but none the less, it means there must be work done.
Thank you for having me in your lovely home, You are a gracious host.
and I must have your recipe for twinki cake. <p>ladies nice chatting with you all have a good day

Prescription diet pills (gotten legitimately through my physician), Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch, a moderate dinner with my husband. Two Snackwells and a glass of 1% milk before bed. Not one stitch of exercise. <p>For months before that I had been going to the gym for 90 minutes a day, every day, and dieting at 1,800 calories a day (burning 600 to get me down to 1,200 a day) and not one pound off in 3 months.<p>Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I have another 60 to go. Then I'll go on the next visit to Precious. Oughta make exOW's teeth fall out. "OMG, MJ is nice, talented and slim. What is my life worth? Thing I'll give them Precious and go jump off a bridge." (Ha Ha, just kidding. I don't want her to jump off the bridge, but everything else would be OK.)<p>MJ

catnip, in your honor, I am having a cup of Irish Breakfast tea. It goes nicely with that cake. THanks for inviting me. Your home, and hospitality, is just what I needed this morning. It sure beats working!

Sorry to be the "Tigger come lately", but Sailorman just woke me up before he had to get on his motorcycle and leave for work! But I can't wait to try my piece of cake, and I take cream and sugar with my coffee!<p>As for how things have been going now that Sailorman's home, well, they are great! It's a little slow going in the intimate department, but that's my fault. Abbi just adores Daddy! In fact, yesterday morning, she was the one to truly wake him up! She followed me in the room, and saw Sailorman move, and squealed "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Of course, then she wanted "Up, please" on the bed, and lay there, right up next to Daddy! <p>The older 2 have also adjusted well, and are happy that I will be homeschooling them from the end of school till shortly after Christmas. With the move, and some traveling, they would have missed too much school, and you can homeschool on the road!<p>Ok, enough about this late comer. How's everyone else? Has Twiisty shown up yet? I can't remember seeing her yet! Oh, and Jenny, how much longer(ball park figure) till your honey's home?I just know how difficult it can be and pray that it will be soon!

Darn, fashionably late&#8230;..again! Sigh, I always like the bottom of the pot. It helps keep me going.

Catnip, You are a pip. That is all I can say! You are quite a card if I've ever met one.

So jealous that I couldn't join you for coffee, but alas I must work, work, work, to keep oc w/health insurance as H doesn't have it being self-employed!<p>Darn it!<p>Am I too late?<p>Speaking of cats...I have to run to vet to have my 2 new girls spayed today.[ not THOSE girls, oldies!] See, I don't want to be responsible for creating oc's for other female cats who are married! Heh...heh...heh...<p>love

Hee Hee.....did someone say diet coke??? Those who chat with me can tell you stories of me and diet coke...sorry I had to be away for a bit this a.m. but I enjoyed the coffee and diet cokes...Catnip...any chance of you posting this delicious recipe for the twinkie cake? I know Dinobon would love to sink her teeth into it!<p>Hugs....

Catnip,
If you don't mind, could I stop by for a quick bite? I could use a break from all this insanity of life. <p>Tina

Tina! Thanks for coming by...would you like a snort of Bailey's in your coffee and share the bottom of the pot with Ohbratti?<p>Gem...fixing your cats? Hiss.

Cmiranda<p>I'm glad you're here...wait! don't go out on the balcony...Cmiranda! Be careful! The balcony is loose...Cmiranda! The board is giving way, it's loose! Ooooh noooo! Cmiranda...are you OK?<p>Hahaha. Just kidding, Cmiranda. In spite of my yelling at you on Babstr's thread, I really do like you. I know you don't think so, or might not even care, but I do. I think you are quite a pip yourself and great fun to 'debate' with. You are certainly a hard case but I know there is a pony in there somewhere.<p>Let's go into the kitchen. You can help me tidy up the kitchen and we can chat.

Catnip,<p>How did you like my landing?!! I'm a catwoman myself..high places don't frighten me!<p>I just want to tell you that I do care whether or not you like me and I'm glad that we don't hate eachother. I think you are one of the scarest women here but I enjoy your words of wisdom even when we can't seem to agree.
I'd be glad to help you clean up. Maybe we can get to know eachother alittle better.

Wow. Cmiranda! You landed on your feet! Excellent.<p>This is an omen, and a good one...it means that you will survive anything you must face or tackle.<p>Catnip =^^=

Cat... my feelings are hurt. I wasn't invited.<p> <img src="graemlins/teary.gif" border="0" alt="[Teary]" /> <p>I thought you loved me. And I adore cake.. especially with Chardonnay. (i know... gross)<p>Z.

Oh God! Zebra! Please, please, please don't be hurt...I love you! Beleive me, it was an unintentional oversight caused by going through posts and writing down names in a hurry. You being a "Z" must have put you at the last...I know I have inadvertantly omitted several more of my sisters. Trust me, you are not the only one I forgot to invite...it is an open invitation.<p>At any rate, as I sit here, I will eat my humble pie, my crow (one of my personal favorites) and share the mouse I caught this morning with you.<p>Instead of chardonnay, I invite you to roll around in the catnip I have sprinkled on the floor. But, Zebras probably prefer something more exotic. For you, I will have tall, sweet grasses shipped in from the Serrengetti (sp?).<p>It's Thursday and I am signing off now to go play...I am going to a conservatory to see wonderful flowers, grottos, lagoons, waterfalls and exotic plants. Then my friend and I are going to lunch. I am having a play day, Ladies, and then I am going to do the bubble bath thing, a pedicure & manicure and have my paws ready for sandal weather, shave my legs and do a facial. Then seduce the bipolar bear. With all this sex talk on another thread, the spring weather that causes the sap to flow in the trees and the smell of fresh turned earth, it inspires me to...you know.<p>Catnip =^^=

No offense taken my dear Catnip. <p>Gosh the sound of rolling around in tall grass sounds so refreshing right now.<p>Had meeting with CS enforcement agency today. How draining. No real outcome just going for DNA and see where that leads us.<p>Tomorrow H and I go to court to answer the abandonment charges filed against him by OW. Found out from CS agency that she filed on her own, not through them. Lovely woman my OW. Does she sound bitter?? <p>But H inspired and soothed me by reminding me that this is God's way of clearing our lives of all the uncertainties. I pray to remain positive. And am hopeful after reading about the Superiour Courts decision in south GA that our CS guidlines are unconstitutional.<p>Have a wonderful day pampering yourself. I love you,
Z.

How can she be abandoned by someone who is married to someone else? How can she be abandoned by someone she has no relationship with? That's nuts. It doesn't even make any sense.

I know... it's just crazy. That move was pure revenge because she didn't get "her man". Definately not in the best intrest of the OC to put my H in jail. <p>Just another example of an OW who didn't get the guy like she planned.<p>(before you all slam me.... my OW admitted to me about getting pregnant on purpose and lied to H about BC.)<p>Z.

Um.....Z???? Did she get rid of her mustache yet? I'll never forget that as long as I live...ROFLOL....<p>Hugs,
