I miss you! Update please. ;o)
from h2ophobic :
I did know that was you. I have your number in my cell phone as Patti Florida. Someday I'm going to escape the snow and ice and come for a visit!
from fightn4life :
Merry Christmas...my thoughts are with you. Sandyz
from shear-madnez :
Merry Christmas!
from fightn4life :
Hope you can shake the "bug" I thought I was sick once again because I am now living north. I was hating my move...but I feel somewhat better knowing people in Florida catch the bug too. Still...I hope you get to feeling better. I too hope I can shake this bug. Sandyz
from moee :
DO me a favor and talk to hubby about our decor up, LOL!!!!
from h2ophobic :
I miss you!
from shear-madnez :
Happy Birthday! Hope you get the new house!!
from h2ophobic :
#1 I've missed you! #2 I actually know someone (my hairdresser) who traded houses with someone. I don't know exactly how it worked, but she and her family got the bigger house. Good luck!
from h2ophobic :
Wow. You wrote what I said to someone on Tuesday! Scary! I didn't vote for Obama either, but I am ready to back him and give him my support. This country has been divided for too long. I hope he brings the change he's promised.
from boxx9000 :
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
from h2ophobic :
I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering when you were getting back. Sounds like you had a great time, except for the creepy hotels!
from h2ophobic :
I've MISSED you! I'm so glad that your family made it through the hurricanes ok. How great that your hubby loves his new job. Have a wonderful time on your road trip. I love road trips (if I'm not the driver.) I grew up 5 hours from Dallas. As a teenager we used to drive there to go to Six Flags. That's the extent of my Dallas knowledge. Have fun!
from fightn4life :
So glad you got through the storms OK and are finally getting out of the house. Snakes...uck! We had them hiding along the stone work in Ark...is no state clear of them...I suppose not. Get rid of that computer virus...they can destroy your hard drive. Thoughts are with you, Sandyz
from h2ophobic :
Ok, any thoughts I'd ever had about moving to FL, just flew out the window with the hurricane and snakes. {{Shudders}} Good luck to your mom. I just realized that with the time difference, she's already in surgery. As always you and your family are in my daily prayers.
from h2ophobic :
Stay safe! I'll be thinking about you and your family.
from moee :
Thinking of you darlin. Stay safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from shear-madnez :
Stay safe!!!!

The first unit in Science I'm teaching is all about weather. CA is rather BORING as far as weather goes: sunny, sunny, sunny, and MORE sunny. However, we do have the occasional EARTHQUAKE.

I called my girls as I have been watching weather...please be safe. Like you said...hunker down." Sandyz
from boxx9000 :
"the day you're born is the day you start dying, so you better get to living" I like to focus on making each day count. More PLAY and less work would make me happier.
from h2ophobic :
1. I'm so glad you had such a great time on your cruise! 2. I hope your husband finds a new job lickety split. AND that it's one where he's appreciated!

from h2ophobic :
How exciting! I hope you all have a wonderful time. I've never been on a cruise (I'm terrified of open water) but I'ver heard from friends and family that they're a blast. I can't wait to read all about your adventures!
from thecrankyone :
((hugs)) glad to hear everyone is okay. I'm extremely ocd when it comes to making sure people use seatbelts. Seen too much can happen when they don't.
from h2ophobic :
OMG! I once was driving across some railroad tracks and my back tire came completely off. It was really scary, and I was only going about 5-10 mph. I can't imagine how terrified April and her boys were! YOU need a vacation! A very, very QUIET vacation! You should fly here. You could sit on my back deck and gaze at the mountains while my little dogs cuddle you and lick your face!
from shear-madnez :
I got an idea...why don't you paint some blonde highlights in your hair. They don't show the icky roots so fast and it'll brighten your hair color up too. Just mix the stuff up and paint it in. You can use an old toothbrush. Try it...it'll be fun! (remember to leave it on until you're sure the hair is blonde). For the frizzies...use glossing polish. It really helps alot.

from cocoabean :
the head rush is from a drop in blood pressure when you stand up.. its happening because you're spending so much time lying down. it's called a vaso-vagal reaction.. nothing to worry about....
from h2ophobic :
Painting!? You crack me up. I did something similar when I was recuperating. Bill was trying to keep the house clean enough so I wouldn't lose my mind. I was being VERY good, I didn't lift, I didn't vacuum, I didn't mop. Then one morning I decided to clean the bathtub. Yeah...that uses the SAME muscles as vacumming an mopping. Yikes...I was down for two days! I hope your healing speeds along and soon you're back to feeling like your sassy self!
from h2ophobic :
I MISS YOU!!!!!!
from moee :
**HUGS** I feel your pain girl!
from h2ophobic :
I'm sorry your recovery is taking so long. You had much more done than I did! I'm so glad your boys are being such a help to you. The story about your husband finally agreeing to go to the doctor and then refusing to fill the prescription made me laugh...I have one just like that here! Hang in there girlie. The first month you DON'T have a period and all the ridculous pain that came with it...you'll be glad you had the surgery. HUGS!
from forty-plus :
Thinking of you and I'm sending my best healing vibes to you!
from moee :
Love ya! If you need me call!
from h2ophobic :
Thanks for the update. I'd been wondering (and worrying) about you. I hope you're healed up and raring to go really quickly!
from moee :
You'll be fine and we'll be here for you! **HUGS**
from h2ophobic :
Good luck, sweet Patti! I'll be thinking about you all day.
from h2ophobic :
That was a beautiful entry, about a beautiful woman, written with love. Thanks for sharing.
from fightn4life :
My hard drive for my computer went to a better place, so all was lost. :( Lucky I am up and running again but lost user name and passwords to all locked diarys. I never wrote them down. Could I get a new key to your world? Sandyz [email protected]
from forty-plus :
I choose cartwheels! I'll be thinking of you.
from moee :
Women are like fine wine, they only get better with time. That quote certainly describes you! **HUGS**
from h2ophobic :
I know...I leave you too many notes. I promise, I'm not a stalker. Good luck on your surgery. If yours goes anywhere near as well as mine did, your husband will be amazed at how well you feel in the coming months! It took me 3 years to convince my doctor that I needed a hysterectomy (because of my age.) A few weeks after my surgery, Bill kind of peered into my face and said "I see you." I asked him what he was talking about. He said "I see you...the you that you used to be." Good luck!
from h2ophobic :
Because I (and you will) kept my ovaries, I still ovulate, so sometimes I do get PMS. It doesn't happen every month though, and I probably wouldn't even recognize except Shelby & I are on the same cycle. (Poor Bill.)
from h2ophobic :
I'm just checking in on you. Did you have your surgery yet? How did things work out with your husband's job? BTW, I kept both my ovaries. The left one causes me problems now and then, but it's better than having to take hormones. Take care, I miss you!
from her-story :
Is there a password to get in now? :( Can I have it? OH, and I posted a response regarding the blackberry...
from h2ophobic :
Don't be too scared about your hysterectomy. Mine was a walk in the park. I literally woke up in recovery, feeling better than I did before the surgery. To this day, I say it's the best gift I ever gave myself. No more pain, no more harsh periods. Yes, my ovaries give me trouble now and then, but it's NOTHING like the almost constant pain I lived with for years.
from moee :
***HUGS***
from moee :
Sorry about M Day. I know how you feel, mine was not the best either. In fact I am still owed a mothers day dinner!
from h2ophobic :
Happy Mother's Day! Have fun with your boys today!
from moee :
Tell them we said congrats! And they are smart to finish school first! HOORAY!!!!
from h2ophobic :
Congratulations future mom-in-law!
from fightn4life :
I have been wanting to request your pass word and user name. Always when I finish catching up I forget...will you share your world? [email protected] Sandyz :)
from chaosdaily :
if someone hit her car and she was injured, the hospital bills would be sent to the other drivers insurance!
from h2ophobic :
This entry reminded me of when Mike moved to OK right before he turned 19. Since we live in betweeen 2 ski resorts, air fare is ridiculous here, so Bill, Shelby & I drove him to Salt Lake City for his flight. Shelby & I cried the entire ride home (6 hours.) For WEEKS, we were both inconsolable. That first baby leaving the nest is so hard. It DOES make you think ahead in ways you hadn't before. P.S. You have every right to worry and be sad that your son moved out. Other people's sadness, doesn't mean you're not entititled to be sad. You're a great mom and he's a great son...of course you're sad that he moved out!
from forty-plus :
I cried for April. Everyone needs to stand in her shoes to realize how it feels to feel singled out.
from h2ophobic :
That stalker sounds very creepy! If her mom doesn't report him, I think Doug should take Erin to the police station to report it. She's 19, she can file a complaint herself. I don't know much about stalker laws, but maybe she can even get a restraining order. Her mom sounds a bit nuts. I guarantee that if someone was stalking Shelby, I'd be at the police station in about 2 seconds! When Jeff was in high school, there was a guy (Jeff worked this this guy's live in girlfriend) who kept giving him a hard time. This guy was a registered sex offender too. I finally called the guy myself and ripped him a new body part. I told him if he bothered Jeff one more time, I'd file a complaint. He only spoke to Jeff once more. He told Jeff "Your mom is lucky she's a woman or I'd beat the crap out of her." His girlfriend (BTW ewww! who would live with a registered sex offender?) came to Jeff's funeral, but this guy was smart enough to stay away.
from h2ophobic :
I posted a photo of me in the entry previous to this one. Go take a look...be brave!
from moee :
Unfortunetly, I know how she feels! I have not weighed quite that much, but I still am discriminated against on a daily basis. And I am only 200 plus. I can just imagine what she is going through.

My Grama saw Reba several times in concert. (Reba's from OK.) She always said they were the best concerts. I'm not a big fan of CW Music, but I do love Reba. Do you watch her show on TV? P.S. Your username/password cracks me up!

from shadesofmi :
It has been awhile since I have been here and I am glad your back is better. Take care.
from h2ophobic :
I wish I had some words to comfort you, but we both know that words don't do that. I'm sorry this goes on and on. Just when you all seem to be doing a little healing, boom, it's right back in your face again. I can't belive your mother in law was laid off. What a heartless company she must work for! Hang in there my friend. One moment at a time. P.S. Thanks for your sweet email about Shelby's pic.
from shear-madnez :
I can't believe they let that son of a bitch out of jail! What's wrong with those prosecutors? ((((Hugs))))
from moee :
Sorry for your lose sweety! Get a hug from hubby from me!
from h2ophobic :
I'm so sorry. I'm glad his passing was so peaceful. Bill's dad died of cancer to. He died on his birthday. All of his children and grandchildren came to see him that day. When we all left, he told his daughter Marlene (who is a nurse and was caring for him at home) that he was just so tired. She told him it was ok to go whenever he was ready. He went to sleep passed a few minutes later. It was very peaceful too. God bless you and your family. And tell that big boy of yours to behave on his 21st birthday! ;o)
from chaosdaily :
awww I'm sorry... I'm glad the hospice people were so nice. They are a special kind of people. *hugs*
from mzbee :
sorry about your step father-in-law. ((((hugs))))

My prayers are with you and the family, so glad to "hear" you laugh. I too have trouble reading the letters, I get the audio some times. LOL Hope my hearing does not fail me. :) Sandyz
from moee :
Thinkin of you!!!
from forty-plus :
I am thinking of Hubby and the entire family.
from h2ophobic :
I'm so sorry Patti. We went through the same thing when Bill's dad was dying. I'm so very glad that your FIL isn't in pain. God bless you all. HUGS!
from mzbee :
(((hugs))) My Mom was in hospice her last three months and they were wonderful to her.
from chaosdaily :
awww I'm so sorry...
from yarnsmith :
Oh how I envy you planting flowers....we are still covered in snow and only 11 degrees.
from h2ophobic :
You crack me up!
from mzbee :
As much as I work out at they gym, it's always GARDENING that kicks my butt! I'm not kidding either. I think it's all the bending over and lifting etc. P.S. Thanks for the funny emails.
from fightn4life :
Plant new flowers�that is what I need to do. Something always feels good about new growth despite what the neighbors say. Hope your back did not take too much of a beating. Sandyz
from moee :
There has been alot going on there! Sorry, to hear about Hubby's dad.
from fightn4life :
I am having a laid back weekend on Monday. :) I too was glad American idol is back on. "Big Brother?" na...I'll watch reruns instead. :) Sandyz
from h2ophobic :
Hey girlie! I miss you!
from h2ophobic :
The snake story is so funny! I can so see Bill doing something like that. He loves to make up stories, just to see if someone will believe him. I'm glad you had a great weekend!
from h2ophobic :
Whew! You had quite the week, girlfriend! I hope next week is quiet and non eventful (and itch free.) P.S. Tell your husband that I think he ROCKS for standing up for himself!
from forty-plus :
Horrible is not a strong enough word.
from moee :
OMG!!! The things she went through, I can't imagine! I can't help but feel we find him and show him how much what he did hurts. But more in a perminent fashion!
from mzbee :
Feet are NOT like a Barbie doll foot, they really are more like paddles. Feet don't get *bigger* as we age, but the arch falls and feet will get longer and wider. Wouldn't we all look silly with little tiny club like feet? re: big, wide mouths..... All the stars in Hollywood are paying extra money to get those large , big, lucious smiles. Small mouths and thin lips are undesirable. Celebrate your natural beauty.
from chaosdaily :
i have big feet too... have you tried crocs? they have some great styles, and the shoes are wide enough for my feet, and quite comfy. i think you are doing the right thing re: your "uncle"... he will be doing his own suffering, and if you torment him, you will be suffering too...
from h2ophobic :
When I was in high school, I wore a 7 1/2 to an 8. Now I wear a 9. When I buy shoes, I still automatically go to the 8's at first. Have you tried Sketchers? In the last few years I've had a hard time finding tennis shoes that were comfortable. This year I bought some Sketchers and am amazed at how comfortable they are. It's a bit of a challenge to find some that aren't geared toward teeny boppers, but it's worth it. They're as comfortable as being barefoot!
from yarnsmith :
Sorry to hear about the outcome of the trial...you all must be so frustrated. I live near Drew Peterson and my boss grew up with him. We are both thinking some how, some way, he's gonna get his comeuppance.
from forty-plus :
This is just horrible. I am truly sorry.
from chaosdaily :
at least he hasn't been tried and found not guilty, because then he would be off. if new evidence comes up, he can still be tried. im sorry.
from forty-plus :
I wouldn't want Hubby's boss' karma. He's evil and vile. I hope Hubby can find a work place where he is appreciated.
from h2ophobic :
God bless your husband for having the patience to put up with that! I think I used to work for that guy. Two jobs ago, I had a boss like that. He LOVED to make people feel stupid. I swear he used to sit in his office and make up questions that didn't have answers, just so he could ask someone and make them feel like crap. When the company decided to move to ID, he asked me if I'd move there and be his assistant! By that time I already had another job waiting, so I told him "Not a chance." When he asked me why (he offered me more money, blah blah blah) I told him "Because I'd kill you within a week." The only way he could be happy was when he was making EVERYONE else miserable. I sincerely hope your husband finds a new, better, saner job very soon...like today!
from moee :
Hun, give hubby a BIG hug from me! My husband has gone through that more then once and that's why we are doing what we are doing now! I give him alot of credit for putting up with him. But it isn't worth his health or his mental well-being.
from h2ophobic :
That's exactly how I broke my big toe a few years ago! I am now very careful about not getting up if my foot feels even a little bit sleepy! Be a good girl and rest.
from mzbee :
I ♥ tennis!
from forty-plus :
I know Crystal hurt your feelings but I can only imagine how she is struggling with reality right now. I hope your pooch is okay! You, mean? Yeah, right. P.S. Thanks for my card ... I left the envelope, with your comment on it, where The Boss did see it. He read, pressed his lips together, walked away and never said anything. That made me laugh.
from h2ophobic :
I'm sorry about the email you got from your cousin. Maybe just let her be for a few weeks and then try to contact her again. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you, in fact she probably ranted at you because you and your mom are the only ones she feels safe to rant to (that crazy unconditional love thing.) I love that your resolution is to be meaner this year. Good luck with that 'cause I know you're a softie like me! ;o)

I am sending healing wishes to your mom and your Cali friend. And remember, no matter how aggrevating those men get on vacation ... no pillow fights (you know you won't be able to stop beating them until there's feathers everywhere and then it will be YOUR job to clean up ... so not worth it)! ;-)
from moee :
I'm crossing my fngers for mom and your friend. Let me know how they do! **HUGS**

I hope your mom's surgery goes well. These men of ours, huh?!

I sure understand about wanting to be a gypsy traveling around going nowhere having just the wind on my back. I hope too you get happy husband back, my job has been a struggle and at times, I feel like not so happy a camper. Yep, gypsy life sounds good. Sandyz
from moee :
Unfortunetly, you are right! You never leave a job that makes you happy for more money. It's not worth your selfworth. Hubby is loving our business, no stress. Except when I am, LOL!!!!
from h2ophobic :
Bill & I are gypsies at heart too. We moved into this house in May 1997. This is the longest either of us has ever lived in the same place...even our childhood homes. We often get the urge to hit the road too. But we've committed ourselves to having all three of our children graduate from the same high school. Shelby's a sophomore now. Once she's graduated and settled in college, we plan to take off (at least for awhile.) He can work anywhere (he's a diesel mechanic) and I figure I can just sign up with a temp agency wherever we land. Maybe someday we'll (you & I) land in the same place at the same time.
from moee :
***HUGS*** Love ya darlin!
from h2ophobic :
When I read your entry about how your family is beginning to split over your aunt's death, it reminded me of a conversation Bill & I had a few months after Jeff's death. The police knew (because WE hired a private investigator) who both parties were who caused Jeff's accident and death. They just weren't that interested in pursuing it. I have to tell you that originally, we wanted BLOOD too. But then we realized 2 things. 1. We knew that trying to get these men prosecuted and convicted could literally take over our lives. We could see that we would be come so obsessed with seeing them punished that nothing else in life would matter, which would not be fair to Mike & Shelby. It would be like the fact that they were still living wouldn't be as important to us as the fact that Jeff was gone. And more importantly 2. If we went through all that and they weren't convicted, it would destroy us. I can't say honestly that I've completely forgiven either of them, I just had to turn their "punishment" over to God. I do sometimes hope that living with the knowledge of what they did will haunt them...forever. I guess I'm not as forgiving as I thought I was. God Bless, sweet Patti.
from moee :
I'm feeling for you honey! Sorry I haven't been around much. We have been so busy it amazes me! And we are still trying to get the whole partner thing worked out! I love ya and if you need me just give a ring.
from h2ophobic :
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I didn't watch any football yesterday. I've got a sinus and ear infections and pretty much laid around again yesterday. The good news is...that's my plan for today as well!
from yarnsmith :
I would love to try DDR
from forty-plus :
We love DDR almost as much as the Wii!
from h2ophobic :
Shelby got braces, not because her teeth needed them so much, (she had "Cher" teeth) but because of her tmj. She's (hopefully) getting them off in 2 weeks. She had them on for 2 1/2 years. We have what is called a daylight basement. When you enter our front door, you either walk upstairs or downstairs. The only thing at street level is the entryway. Our basement windows are at street level. I'd never had a house with a basement before. It's true however, the more space you have, the more crap you buy to fill the space!
from chaosdaily :
if your tmj is that bad, you might be able to get braces as a medical necessity!
from h2ophobic :
I've been thinking about you, my friend. I just wanted to stop by and give you a cyber {{{HUG}}}

from h2ophobic :
Huge HUGS from MT. I wish I knew what to say to bring you some peace. But there are no words. I'll be thinking of you this wee.
from shear-madnez :
((((Hugs)))) This is going to be a tough week for you, kiddo. Try to get as much rest as you can. Crystal needs to be strong, too. She will probably get a chance to tell the Judge how this has affected her and her family members. All of you are victims of David. He destroyed something precious to you and your family. And, David is still alive to tell his side of the story. You all need to be strong for Aunt Jean.
from moee :
**HUGS** All I can say is you feel what you feel. You can't control how you are going to feel about this whole thing. If you pity him, hate him, etc... or even all of the above! They are normal emotions at a time like this. I want to wish you all luck and I will be thinking of you and your family(as always). If you need to chat I'll send you my phone number if you want it! Love ya!

I've only written one "fan" letter in my life...to Tom Selleck. When we lived in CA, they lived near us. I used to see his wife at the mall sometimes. Never him though. It's probably a good thing. I'm sure I would have been arrested for attacking him right there!

Hey, Patti! Check craigslist.com. You should be able to type into a search craigslist and florida. It is a great place to check for new, used and free stuff.
from fightn4life :
I had to laugh, my friend showed me where the heat was here in the house, I too am in Florida and she was thinking I'd get cold. I got hot and opened a window. LOL That is what happens when you come from a blizzard state. I recall why I loved this state so much, Sandyz
from moee :
Nothin, as far as I know! Doctors can't figure out why it is enlarged and haven't linked it to anything going on with me. We should start somethin, Have a weird enlarged colon as our mascot, LOL!

Sorry to hear about your familiy's loss. Its does seem like your family has been given way more than their fair share of it this year. {{hugs}} Hears hoping 2008 is a much better year for you.

Glad to hear you had a blast. A great friend of mine is in charge of entertainment at the Hard Rock Casino. I hope he comps me tickets to see some of the big shows!

the cops are pretty tolerant on halloween.... usually.... as long as he doesn't go to any airports dressed that way he should be ok!
from h2ophobic :
Sweet Patti, We're all here for you. I know what it's like to think you can't go on one more hour, much less a day. I'm praying for you and your family. Feeling like you have NO control over anything is so exhausting. I know it's little comfort, but be assured, if he's not punished in this life, he will be in the next. If I were independently wealthy, I'd fly there just to give you a huge hug! As silly as it sounds, try to relax and have a little fun with your husband in New Orleans. Nothing would happen differently if you stayed home and attended the trial. Take refuge in your husband's love and companionship.

Send me the rain. We're in near-drought conditions. I want rain. Lots of rain. Then, I want it to hit the low 70s and STAY there. Enough of this near-90 degree weather. BAH!

Love yu darlin! That test isn't to bad I had it done about a year and a half ago.
from yarnsmith :
I know doctors don't like to take organs out of a body but I agree with Carolyn...7 years is a long time to suffer and I would think taking BC pills would be more harmful than surgery. I had a hysterectomy but it was for cervical cancer but I'll tell you...it took away all kinds of problems and hassles.
from h2ophobic :
My doctor told me I shouldn't have a hysterectomy for 4 years. I just kept on living with the pain as it got worse and worse. One day I finally had a meltdown and told her if she didn't take everything out, by God I would do it myself! Things moved fairly quickly after that. I had my uterus and cervix removed, but left my ovaries. I've said a million times - it was the best gift I EVER gave myself. When I woke up in recovery, I felt better than I had BEFORE the surgery. Stay strong girl. If you don't want to do b/c pills...tell her what you do want. I think we are so used to having doctors be the "voice of reason" that we forget that they are just people too. AND that they work FOR US. {{HUG}}

I agree with your proposed punishment for that piece of crap, Vick.
from yarnsmith :
I agree with you. I hope he ends up in prison as the bitch who belongs to the guy with the most cigarettes.
from h2ophobic :
I've not let myself watch or read any of the new about Vick. It absolutely sickens me! The little town I grew up in used to have cock (rooster) fights every Saturday night. It used to make me want to puke when my friends invited me to go (I never did.) What is wrong with people that they enjoy watching animals kill each other? I'm such a softie...yesterday when I was taking my walk I saw this lady putting a bunch of plants out by her garbage. When I asked her what was wrong with them, she said she just had too many and was throwing them away. It took me 2 trips, but I took all of them to work and gave them a new home!

I dont know how to redirect my page or else i would :) but...yeah the ins. co. told me if they found it that i'd hav eto pay to get it out. So far, nothing. It'll be 3 weeks come Monday. I jsut want this to be over. I'm starting to feel comfortable again around my apartment. It just creeps me out knowing how many loonys are out there!
from pinkbowshoe :
its just beyond me how the authorities let these people slip through the system. I've heard countless stories just like this one about how the restraining orders are put on and they're arrested, charged and they end up killing the person. The system doesn't protect anyone. It's a joke and I wish more people would notice that and make harsher punishments for thses things. Its such a shame and I know your family is going through so much. My thoughts are with you all.

I'm so sorry your family has to go through this.

from fightn4life :
No one understands the devastation over losing someone you love unless they have walked that road. Even then, we all grieve differently. Some never get over the loss of a loved one they just keep on moving through life, others like my husband takes blame upon their self and in his case falls victim to an addiction. Husband has always been a drinker but losing his daughter gave him an escape to live in the bottle and not work, not live, he feels justified to continue this. My daughter lost her 9-year-old son, my grandson, there was plenty of outrageous behavior but a time came she made peace knowing this life is finite. We look to the infinite lives our souls live and find peace knowing we will all be reunited. Your Blog is yours to voice no matter how down you feel and it is best to blast the pages than to bottle up and withdraw. My heart is with you, I have experienced grief and still do so I understand in part what you are dealing with. However, as with life our roads are never the same. Many prayers and I wish you peace.

from h2ophobic :
Reading about your aunt is so eerie for me. It's like reading about what my life could have been. My first husband was abusive. I often say that I was one of the lucky ones. I left. It was hard...at times it was hell. I literally hid out with Mike for a few years. Because I knew. I KNEW that if we stayed together, one of us would end up dead and one of us would end up in jail. And I was pretty sure I would be the one to end up dead. How I was able to think so clearly at such an early age (19), I'll never know. I pray for your family every day. I sincerely hope that the husband is convicted. It won't bring her back, but it will protect his next victim. God bless!

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. I've had a crush on at least 4 of my doctors. I now have a female GP that I'm not attracted to in the least. LOL I've only admitted one or two of my crushes to my husband so far. Why overwhelm the poor man? :)
from boxx9000 :
My youngest brother (the drug addict) was stealing my mom's morphine when she was dying with cancer. Suicide and mental health issues run in my family, too.

from fightn4life :
Bad, bad walking that much. Hey, I wished my scar looked as good as yours did, mine is gross. Wish they had not used staples; it is still seeping, ugly, deep crater hole, and about 3 inches long. Maybe it will heal and look better, like yours. (My DR. said it looks good and healing great...What are you blind I wondered.) I still can't drive but plan to anyway. If you can break the rules, so can I. Be careful and take care of your back, maybe I'll have hubby take a picture I wouldn't let him with the staples in because it was gross, now it's worst. LOL Be Careful! Lucky you balloons, dad did take me out to lunch on my way back from the Drs. And they have been bringing food for over two weeks now. Guess we're never to old to be daddy's girl's. :) Sandyz

my dr. told me to stay in untill my appointment to take out the staples. They worry you may fall on an uneven surface and undue what was done. I too am tired a lot and at times my leg and hip hurts. I'll know tomorrow, and tell you what he says to me. Take care and be careful. Sandyz
from boxx9000 :
Tell me again....WHY did you have to have back surgery and what exactly did they do to you to fix the problem? When will you know if the surgery was successful? What is the recovery time? You are too young to be having back surgery. How did you injure your back?

Here's something to look forward to: the NFL draft is next weekend. YAY! We're total football nerds and watch it all weekend. In celebration of it, I usually wear my Broncos jersey to work on Friday. All the non-football people think I've lost my mind.
from cassiopeia- :
Oh my goodness, I hope you recover soon! Hubby should pick up dinner from somewhere nice and set up a table on the back patio (assuming you have one) and make it seem like you are getting out but with the comfort of being at home too. Please tell him I said so!
from fightn4life :
My appointment is on the 23rd, this coming Monday. My Dr will be removing my staples. I too hate I tire so quickly but hey this was no picnic we went on. I put my shampoo on the shelf and try not to drop it; I can't stand not washing my hair everyday either. I have to tape a plastic patch over the staples so I don't get them wet. They itch like heck. I sleep allot with a dozen pillows, I keep my back against a pillow at night it hurts less when I do that. My husband has been helping me too, I'm glad there is so little I can do right now. I don't have a clue how long I'll be off work, my Dr didn't say. He did say I'll have to go to PT later, I suppose I'll know after my appointment. Thanks for all your comments, it is nice to know someone has been down the same road and we can compare complaints. Not really. Yeah. Why not, my emotions are still shaky. Take care of yourself, Sandyz

I'm glad to hear all went well with your surgery. What's the stimated recovery time?
from fightn4life :
Oh, I am thrilled you made it with no complications. You are so right; the pain is/was awful. It comes and goes now, mostly comes when I try to do the little things. I will take time to mend and please be careful not to overdo, they say you can undue what the surgeon fixed. My throat was sore too, I could not talk the first few days, (much to my husbands pleasure I can yakity yak again.) I go back to the Dr. a week from today to get the staples out. I'll be glad. My incision is only an inch and a half, but like yours, it can hurt like crap. Did they tell you it would be 6 months until you can do what you did before? They are remaining silent to me. I cannot drive or travel by car because our roads are gravel, They told me to stay inside for now because the area we live in has no level ground. But�I am healing. I am so glad to hear from you�Thank God you are on the road to recovery now too. I would love to add you on "my space," I'll look you up. TAKE CARE OF YOU. Phew�so glad you are ok. Sandyz

Glad you are on the mend!

I was so glad to see you updated! I've been thinking about you alot! Love ya!
from fightn4life :
I hope you are doing ok...today was the first day I felt a little stronger. The pain after surgery was ...OMG! TMy Dr wanted me to stay in the hospital that night. I came home and woke my husband up every hour. Oops... he siad he didn't care. MY prayers are with you...Got to go lay down...I feel weird. Thinking of you, Sandyz

I am so saddened by the news of the fire.
from moee :
That's why I normally don't go to rescues or pet shops. I ALWAYS want to bring them home!
from boxx9000 :
I've only had surgery a few times and I KNOW the doctors are required to tell the patient ALL the details, but I prefer they NOT tell me because if I have to have the surgery there's really NO WAY I'm going to say, "No, I think I've changed my mind" and all those details just freaked me out anyways. I say, GAS ME and tell me when it's all over. (((hugs))) It always works out somehow, it always does. Good Luck with your surgery and HAPPY EASTER.
from forty-plus :
Of course you're going to be nervous about the surgery, don't get upset at yourself too! Doug's new baby is so clean - wonder how long it will stay that way!?!
from h2ophobic :
Next week must be surgery week. It's a shame you and Sandy don't live near each other, you could recuperate together. I'll be thinking about you and I hope you have a speedy recovery. BTW, I like Doug's car. What's with the Dentyne Ice? He must be planning on smooching with some girlie! You'd better look into that!
from fightn4life :
Wow, this is weird I spent most of my life in Orlando and both my girls live there with their families. Yesterday I came close to having a meltdown, just because. I am supposed to be at the hospital at 8:30 in the morning, surgery is at 11:30. Mine sounds similar to yours except they are cutting a hole in the bone like a half moon shape to allow the nerves room to flows without being pinched. I should be out the same day. The disk they are working on is the 1-2 ended from the last disk at the bottom of my spine. Right above the tailbone, I have a little fracture in the disk too; this is why I am in constant pain and why they put a rush on the surgery. I wish you so much and hope angels guide the Dr's hands�take care of you, I look forward to when we are both back to writing and having surgery behind us. Sandyz
from fightn4life :
Wow, my pre op was done today. My surgery is scheduled for April 10th. Looks like things happening in our lives are running close to the same time. I am nervous about this surgery, seems like they moved fast with it. Oh well, it will be out of the way soon. I wish tomorrow. Hope you got in for your pre op. They did a bunch of tests this morning�I was glad when I got the heck out of there and had my coffee. My thoughts are with you. Sandyz
from nascarwidow :
Wow what a big fish! Congrats to Wes. Sorry I missed Doug's bday. His picture collage is awesome. I'll keep you in my prayers for your surgery.
from pinkbowshoe :
nice pictures. your house and the neighborhood look so cute. I wanna live there :)
from fightn4life :
I hope your surgery goes great�and no more pain for you. I am now waiting again to see if this procedure helped or just set me up for surgery, waiting I don't do well. But I do know this is the last step. I will be watching your entries to see how you do in surgery, makes me less alone. Sad isn't it when we are going through different things we find a comfort zone when sharing with others walking the same path. I wish you well, Sandyz BTW BIG FISH!!!!!
from boxx9000 :
That's a HUGE fish! WOW!
from moee :
I accidentally deleted it! But I planned on responding it!LOL! But before I do that I want to ask Hubby your question to make sure I answer it right! I would hate to answer it wrong! We are hoping this gets going, and it does as well as we think it will, we can have more in other states!
from boxx9000 :
My in-laws pretend like my kids don't even exist. I've always said it's the GRANDPARENTS LOSS. I think my kids just accept it as is, that's all they've ever none from that side of the family. My parents were good grandparents when they werte alive but they have been dead since 1999.
from moee :
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. And I know that everything will be GREAT! Tell Wes congrats! As far as the birthday thing I got through it every single year with my mother-in-law.

I hope all goes well with your surgery, my appointment with the neurosurgeon is Monday the 26th, I'm nervous. I hope he gives me a cortisone shot and sends me home. I too have no answers for so many questions, I just ask and they disappear in the mist somewhere. Hope you have a good day, and your pain has quieted down some. Sandyz
from boxx9000 :
Is this your family dentist? My sister used to work as a dental assistant and she told me that the reason WHY people don't get completely NUMB is because the dentist is using OLD stuff. Change your dentist if it happens again. There's NO reason to be in pain while having dental work done. It's a form of TORTURE to do dental work without the numbing. YIKES!
from chaosdaily :
OUCH!!!!
from forty-plus :
Cool thing, feeding those fish! Good thing he didn't lose a finger or two!

what you need is a pontoon! lots of space to walk and sit, just kind of hard to ski behind....

Happy Anniversary. Isn't this # 50? I could have sworn that you told me it was the golden one. :) hehe I hope your surgery will FINALLY give you the relief you so need. And YAY!! for your Aunt. I so hope she stays away forever. You all are in my prayers. hugs ~
from forty-plus :
Happy Anniversary! Between worrying about the surgery and family issues I hope you can fit in a little relaxation and cuddle time!
from h2ophobic :
Bless your heart! I've had 5 surgeries where I was put out. I won't lie to you...it's a little scary. But there is a new drug you can ask for. I can't remember the name of it (of course) but they give it to you in an IV when you first get to the hospital. It doesn't put you to sleep, but it erases your memory. I think it's the same drug they use sometimes for a colonoscopy. When I had my last surgery, I was VERY nervous. My pastor's mom came in to sit with me (Bill was there too.) She said a little prayer right as they started the IV. She said Amen, I said Amen...and the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. Bill said I was awake and talking to the doctor for quite a while before they took me into the operating room, but I have no recollection of it. HUGS!
from moee :
Sweety, I'm putting the date on my calender! I think about you on a daily basis, but I'll be thinking about you even more on that day. **HUGS**
from chaosdaily :
sorry you have to have surgery but if it helps, it will be worth it. i had to laugh, cause you should see my black kitchen floor.. no one wants to mop it... it used to be cream color!

Thanks for the email and link. I haven't gone to the link yet, but I will. The article was so true. My close friends have learned that when I say I'm fine...I am. But when I say I'm good, it's a bad day. when I say I'm OK...it's a VERY bad day. Thanks Patti!
from yur-gonna-be :
well, "frumpy" and "shaggy" are better than being the "eye shadow whore," right? the ONE good thing that came out of "her" was the laughs we STILL have over it all. hope you find out some answers on thursday. i'm still "missing" but i'll be back soon - promise. now go get that frumpy shag taken care of. lol hugs!!
from forty-plus :
Good luck today with the MRI.
from h2ophobic :
My email is [email protected]. Make sure you put from just2cusmile on the note line, because I don't open any mail that I don't recognize (just a little paranoid). Bill & I were trying to get tickets to a preseason Bronco's game yesterday...they don't have the schedule up yet. I miss football! We don't watch basketball or baseball, so it's a very long time between football seasons for us. Good luck on your mri today! I hope they find whatever is causing your pain and come up with an easy solution!
from fightn4life :
I wonder if my pain pills are what is giving me some almost realistic dreams...hum. Some mornings I get confused what is real and what is a dream when I first wake up. Hubby said I talk all night. Wonder what I say in my sleep. He said I mumble. Hope you get to feeling well soon, the pain will kick your butt after awhile. Sandyz
from chaosdaily :
boy i know how you feel. men just dont seem to be able to see the work that needs doing!
from nascarwidow :
Hope your anniversary was good even though you were no doubt in pain. When will you get the MRI results? Hope someone figures it all out for you soon and you get some relief.
from fightn4life :
I read once a quote that said "Just because I am in pain doesn't mean I have to be one." I loved it. Now that I am in pain I think the idiot that wrote that was not in pain. ;) Just my little it's ok to be in pain and be one too. Sandyz

I had to look for something a little less heavy and bulky than my usual shovel and rake. My body's taken a beating this winter but the poops still gotta get scooped!

from moee :
***HUGS*** I so wish we lived closer! If there is anything I can do to make you feel better, please feel free to email me. Or email me and I'll give you my phone number! I'm sure everything will be fine, but I'm keeping you in my thoughts anyway!

Talk about self-serving...if they give that judge a show I will NOT watch it. He made a joke of Anna Nicole's trial. If you want some Grey's Anatomy spoilers, let me know! If they ever come out with dolls from this show I will be first in line for Dr. McDreamy!

from nascarwidow :
Moving can be great. It can be a major pain in the rear, but then so can many things! Look at all things, cost of living, resale value, taxes, utilities and driving time back "home". I think it would be more of a problem pulling the kids from schools at this point, but maybe not. WTG on the taxes. We are majorly dreading that too. We're hoping our Wilma damage will help out.

OMG! Dr. House is hot! I love that show.

I HATE the silent treatmnet, been there, done that TOO many times. I have a MUCH better system now I just TELL dave when I am unhappy rather than marinating in misery about it and then eventually resenting him. It only took me 30 years to figure this out.

I don't remember the names. But I loved those. I was also in lust with Shaun Cassidy and had everything they came out with - record player, shirts, necklace, bracelet, backpak, etc. Oh, the memories.

I hope your hubby is alright! He sounds like MY hubby. His doctor said he needed to straighten himself out, or he was going to run out of spare parts to fix him with! LOL. One time he was fixing a lawn mower and was pulling a spring with a pair of needle nose pliers, to put the end of the spring in the little hole to pull it taut, and the spring snapped and he stabbed himself in the middle of the forehead with the pliers. Looked like he got a single gunshot to his head. OMG I thought I was going to die! That is just ONE of the many injuries I've had to patch up or take him to the ER to patch up. LOL! But I love him anyway, as I'm sure you do your hubby!
from fightn4life :
I hope your hubby is ok�really. You could change with mine but really I think you have the better deal, being Pee Wee Herman and all. Only kidding but trust me you would not want this one. He's mine for life. ;) sandyz

I had to laugh too when I read about your tree toxins killing things in your neighbors yard. Some people are just not right in the head and unfortunately�one lives close to you. At least you find humor through this and pass it on. Loved this entry. Sandyz

The first year we went to FL with a huge group of people we stayed at a hotel right next to Old Town. Every night we took everyone over there. The kids had fun, the adults had more fun (karoke, etc.) and I had my hair corn-rowed. Groovy!

Yay for vacations! I hope you have a wonderful time. Just getting out of town for a day or two works wonders. Can't wait to hear about it. By the way, it must be a "man" thing with the kayaks. My hubby mentioned last night that he'd like to have one. Surprised me, but I laughed anyway.
from forty-plus :

I am doing the diet. Today is day two. No fruit today, boo. I was exhausted yesterday but I don't know if it was due to the diet or weekend recovery!

Dolphins make me cry too. My very best wish is to swim with them, but I would probably drown in my own tears! ;)
from yur-gonna-be :
17 pounds? Damn, are you serious? The only problem with diets such as that is that the instant you're off it the weight is back on. I am tempted to try it just to see if I can lose 17 pounds in one week. Now that'd be exciting. Shitting out of every hole in my body? Now that's another story. But I think I am going to give it a shoot. I'll let you know what happens. :)
from shadesofblk :
I tried a diet similar to this and had almost the same reaction. Didn't like it much. Have you been able to find anything to help with your Fibro?
from h2ophobic :
That diet looks remarkably like the cabbage soup diet...without the TON of cabbage. I tried it several years ago. I lost a few pounds until I went back to regular eating and then BOOM it all came back. The ONLY diet I've EVER been successful on is the Weight Watchers Point plan. The weight came off slowly (1/2 to 2 lbs a week), but was easy to keep off. Although I don't go to meetings anymore and don't eat as well as I should, I still think "in points" to this day. Good luck! P.S. I'm glad your husband is feeling well enough to want to diet!
from boxx9000 :
I really DO think exercise is the key for maintaining a healthy body and weight. I used to be able to eat ANYTHING I wanted when I lifted weights, swam laps, played tennis and did aerobics. NOW what do I do? Hardly anything at all and the weight creeps on 1 or 2 pounds every year.
from shadesofblk :
I am glad all went well with your hubby's surgery.

Oh my soul! A whale? I would have pee'd my pants and drowned. I know that whales are not supposed to be agressive and stuff but holy barnacles! Something that big and alive right next to a kayak?

Even more so when we get through these stresses of life ok. My family is plagued with ill health and they all got through it just fine. I know it's natural to worry, but just take each day at a time and you will get there. The best you can do is take the treatment/pre-cautions necessary. Wishing EVERYONE all the best and sending you big big hugs. Becca.

yummmmm Bison. I love Bison. Living in ND, bison is quite common, though I rarely buy it as it is at least twice or triple the price of beef depending on the cut. Now I'm hungry for a good bison (or buffalo as sometimes called) burger.. you're making me hungry

I've always had big feet. I wear a size ten and have since I was 12 or 13. Warren will be 13 in two weeks and is already wearing size 13 EEE shoes. I blame his dad's genes. Nobody in my family has feet THAT big. Thankfully it's not such a big deal when you are a boy, or so I've heard.

here you cant be outside with an open container, although if you arent being a pain in the butt, most officers will overlook it. an open container in a car will get you fined, and tested for alcohol use, but its not a felony!
from thecrankyone :
Yikes I mean DAMN!! Sound like an innocent mistake. I've had my ex leave empties in my car, adn me paranoid if I get stopped. Keeping sripts outside the original bottle is a felony. Cheeze Louise, I've done that alot. Who carries a giant pill bottle to work, just so you can take one stupid pill?? If they were demerol or morphine or something controlled I could kind of understand but other wise sheesh!!
from forty-plus :
Your poor brother! I hope they reduce or better yet drop the charges. I mean - go catch some real criminals!
from chaosdaily :
didnt they test him for alcohol so they know he wasnt drinking? his lawyer should have no trouble getting that reduced to an open container in the car, which here means a fine and no loss of license.
from poolagirl :
Dang! I put my slippers on backwards this mornig, opened up Diaryland, and read your entry. You do that stuff too? I am not alone in this world! And neither are you, dear one. We are all more alike than we could ever imagine. Funny, huh?

You wrote "i dont like writing in here anymore-i feel like i write about dumbshit that has know meaning....grrrrrr" PLEASE don't stop writing...I enjoy all of your entries.

My thoughts are with Stephanie's family and friends.

My uncle was killed by a 19 year old drunk idiot, and my uncle was sitting in his own freaking home minding his own business, when the guy missed a corner and drove thru Uncle Peter's window. Stupid fool.
from boxx9000 :
My ex in-laws play *favorites* with all the grandkids. My two kids always get overlooked. Since I'm not a grandparent I don't really understand this. I say , *It's THEIR loss". (the grandparents) Ifeel bad for MY kids, tho. I had such great grandparents. My own parents were good grandparents when they were alive. i don't get it. It makes no sense. Reading your diary entry let me know it's not only MY kids that have missed out on having caring grandparents.

aww ... thanks for the note. but i am here to tell ya that the "reality tv nut bug" hasn't been much of anything lately (and i have no idea what's happening on any of the shows). just kind of wanting to be a loner. hair is gone, mouth sores are in, and tiredness has completely taken over. i had this week off but ended up inpatient last weekend and part of this week due to a fever. and if that wasn't bad enough, the damn steroids are making me look like the queen of good year blimps. like i wasn't extremely fat to begin with. oh well, hoping that once i am done with the steriods i'll be super skinny because not eating and hanging ones head much of the day should result in something, right? again, thanks for the note. sorry i haven't been around much. maybe soon. hugs ~

Other than be there for her until she is ready to leave there isn't much you can do. Some women come to think so little of themselves they feel they deserve it, they believe there abuser, or feel so scared adn helpless they put up with it, rather than be alone or face the unknown, especially if they are older or have limited skills. I should know. I didn't know what I was really capable of until I was on my own and realized in the words of Christopher Robin, "I'm braver than I feel and smarter than I think"
from boxx9000 :
There's really nothing you can do until your aunt is ready to do it herself. Just let her know you love her, support her, and if she needs an *escape* (safe place) you are available. (sigh & hugs)

All in all, I thought most, except William Devane looked really good for thier ages. Hubby and I were Knot's Landing Junkies. Hope all goes well with your eye and there is nothing serious.
from forty-plus :
Should you see a doctor about your eye? That's weird. I've been having a lot of trouble with my eyes, mostly my left, but I think it's because my eye doctor changed my prescription to a weaker one. He shouldn't have, he has this thought of never overdoing, always under. Shoot, I take pictures, I need to see clearly. I hope Hubby doesn't have anything terrible planned for your morning!

i just wanted to take a few moments to say thanks. the last few months have been extremely difficult - especially this past weekend. but being able to share all the details with you and knowing that you care brings tears to my eyes. so many times you could have walked away. but you didn't. and i am forever thankful that you are still here - after it all. you'll never truly know how much your friendship means to me. really. i feel thisclose to her and reading your words of encouragement make it seem that much closer. i hope i will get the chance to see her face to face on this earth. but if that chance never comes i will be ok with that, because i have this incredible sense of peace throughout my whole being knowing that my babies have FINALLY found each other. jordan said something this evening that made me realize it's "all right" ... he said if anyone ever hurt her they'd have him to answer to. now isn't what a brother/sister relationship is all about? i've wished for that for more than 16 years. tonight i got that wish. my babies have that relationship - although it's still newly forming - it's there. i couldn't ask for anything more. thanks for being there to share this weekend with me. thanks for listening. thanks!!

Thanks for your note. Beg your husband...plead with him to hire someone to move that gravel.

I have been praying for him. My heart aches for him and his family.
from frogmom :
thank you I think that my oldest (Makayla) looks more like her dad.

You were just so excited to get to go, you were hoping it was tomorrow! ;) I'll still be thinking of you on Friday.
from forty-plus :
It only takes a second! Good luck tomorrow.

I am using a REBEL EOS right now but I usually use the Canon D20. I have a few different lens, but am hoping for a higher quality zoom than I have right now. Especially if I can make money with this hobby! Here's hoping! :)
from forty-plus :
I hope your headache is a thing of the past! :)
from forty-plus :
School starts on the 5th of August? Horrors!
from frogmom :
I *think* I might have finally put a stop to it! They havent bothered my horse since I fixed the fence anyways.
from forty-plus :
Your oldest son said it all! Still sending those healing thoughts.
from forty-plus :
Healing wishes for Bo. Keep us informed as to what the vet thinks. Hugs to you.
from mom2kendall :
So glad to hear Doug's results were non-cancerous! And hope you all are staying safe from "Dennis"!!
from frogmom :
I tried sending this once before, but I guess I didnt! LOL The horse is not mine, its a horse that my step daughter leases for show. I HATE double strollers!
from nmnohr :
Good luck to your son! I hope his surgery goes smoothly!
from mom2kendall :
I hope Doug's surgery goes well!
from frogmom :
thank you we did have a great time!
from frogmom :
that was one I wasnt sure about. I guessed and got it right! LOL You stop unless there is a center median right?
from frogmom :
Thank you! Yes she is my horse. I have always wanted a horse as well and finally got her not all that long ago. April or May I cannnot remember at this time, but its also almost 2 AM! LOL
from frogmom :
thank you for your kind comments!
from forty-plus :
Have a wonderful vacation!
from forty-plus :
Thank you. I am so happy your tests came back negative. Thank God.
from frogmom :
sounds like you had a great weekend! I HATE PANTY HOSE!!!!
from forty-plus :
Oh Patti, this is really good news! I am happy for you. I am sure the report will confirm their findings today. Great news!
from forty-plus :
Happy Mother's Day!
from forty-plus :
Oh honey. I hope you receive some answers and the needed help to solve these health issues. I feel awful for you and send my very best healing vibes. Take care, Yvonne
from poolagirl :
Thanks for stopping by my diary and making me a fave!
from forty-plus :
Just getting caught up after vacation - I had a benign cyst removed a few years ago. It is great your physician is proactive, mine was a bit laid back at first because I was only in my thirties. She ended up being the one to schedule me for surgery after we couldn't come up with definitive answers. All turned out well and I will pray for the same result for you. Take good care, Y.
from nmnohr :
Oh wow, how scary. I'll be thinking of you, and hoping Friday gets here quick, and everything turns out OK. Hang in there.
from forty-plus :
Hi Patti - you're right, we do seem to have tons in common. I have even been looking for the Jergens Natural Glow, how funny is that? Thank you for adding me to your favorites. I am off to do the same for you. Have a great Monday!
from poolagirl :
WOW! Thanks for stopping by my diary! I am really flattered that you made me a fave. I look forward to reading through your stuff to find out more about you and your life stories. Have a nice weekend (what's left of it).
from days-ahead :
I really don't like myspace. But best of luck to ya - over there. Let me know when you update since I don't have a link to let me know. Gotta run. Buh Bye!!
from days-ahead :
I watched "foo-fee-foo-fee" tonight. I don't know about those two, their relationship is so freaking odd. The way they talk to each other - they are so flipping anal at times. She looks like she is drunk 24/7. Odd, very, very odd!! That's all I gotta say about those two. :)
from days-ahead :
Oh, and did you watch Trading Spouses on Monday? What was up with that lady giving those kids 3 bucks a week of allowance? DANG!!!
from days-ahead :
Pot? As in pothead? lol Uh huh, I know EXACTLY what you were smokin', I mean meant. lol lol
from days-ahead :
You go be on that show and I'll sit back and LMBO like I did Sunday night. Your family would end up with someone who didn't allow pets in the house, and she'd ship Bo off on a doggie vacation. She wouldn't allow any TV after dinner, and absolutely NO SPORTS on Sunday. And she'd make your family on go a family outting to have a picnic in the park. Therefore you'll have her family that reads stories together after dinner, plays ring a round the rosies in the back yard, sings "Do You Know The Muffinman" on the way to the GrandParents house. You'll have to do 5 hours of house work every single day, and drink coffee from a straw because you had your teeth bleached and you can't let the coffee touch your pearly whites. Uh huh ... do it. I wanna see ya. lol lol lol
from judybean :
I admire anybody who can go into coaching, especially at the high school level. Being on the sidelines taking pictures and such, it's not the kids who are bad but the parents! They're terrible! Coaches get some glory if they win and all the grief if they lose! But coaches really have a chance to make such a difference in kids' lives, I've seen it quite a bit -- well, in the good ones of course.
