TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

sherloc

Good Morning Campers. Sleep well Peter. I have a massage today. Yippee!! And about a million errands to run. Thats my day in a nutshell.

Colleen, I get that impression all the time. Reading along and thinking "uh must have missed that bit, o and that one too".
Tim deserved a nasty note. And his friends/co-workers need to know what a slimeball he is.
cocsackie? hahahhahahhahahhahahha

Shokk, hand/foot/mouth disease. YUCK. We had that go like wildfire once thru our little town. There is an organization called MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers). Very cool national group actually. Anywhos some new mommy brought her little one to a meeting with it. Didn't know what it was apparently. Spread it to every kid at the meeting. Little kids are so touchy feely. Aforementioned little kids then went to preschool, church, playgroups, everywhere. It was crazy. Entire churchs and schools had to be disinfected. There was even talk of closing the schools for a bit.
I just get up early, don't usually post till about 7 my time. Woke up at 4:30 again this morning. Didn't go to bed till 11 so I'm thinking this is eventually gonna catch up with me and I'll sleep in.

Madison, I just bought what the pharmacist recomended. It's called Move Free. It's got some other stuff in it besides glucosamine. Told him my issue and he said take this one. I said OK. Cause I am such a good obedient girl. I always do what I'm told. Are the chews as expensive as the pills?

Jeannie, hip replacement? yikes!
Prince Charmless...hahahhahahahahahha

Suz, congrats to daughter on her graduation. Did I say that already? My theory on parties is keep the food and drink flowing and no one notices the house.

Vicki, that pic is just to funny.

Sheri, an extra bone? wow! Hope the picnic was grand.

Denise, talking about OUR quilt. Daughter is getting the digital frame loaded with pics from the last 9 years. Started with her wedding stuff, trying on gown pics, making favors, moving on thru the years to kids births and growth. It's been a grand trip down memory lane.
The frames I got take SD memory cards. All you have to do is resize the pics to the size of the frame then load them on the card. Easy, just time consuming. If your puter doesn't have a card reader they are pretty cheap at staples.

Vicki, 3 days of a high fever doesn't sound like a virus to me. But then again what do I know.

Cheri, they do grow up way to fast. Can't believe my grandson is gong to be 7 in a couple of months.
I'll go check myspace to see if Charlene pinged me. Love adding friends. Makes me feel special. Gotta admit tho, half my friends are bands that I like.
Cool Vicki wants to be my friend too. I'll pop over there when I'm done here.

Liz, I'm glad your doc is being proactive, still hoping your allergic to paint.

Hi and bye Nicki

Socal, I thought you were coming to Pinkstock. Darn I'm gonna miss you.
Beautiful pic.

Susan, yep. Done, finished, complete. Please pray my dead brain cells remember to pack it.

Nicki, hello again. that pic is to cute.

Vicki, that smiley is adorable. One of these days I'm gonna figure out the smiley thing.

Jeannie, your gonna be missed at Pinkstock too. But weddings are grand.

Jaz, good thing indeed. But wow what a great time you would have had.
Love that Erma Bombeck essay

Gus/Sue, I've learned that if I miss to much it's easier just to start fresh.

Christine, crumbs.....I keep forgetting about the basket. Thanks for reminding me.

Laura, I'm very glad daughter is home safe and sound.

Odalys, married on a Cruise Ship. How romantic.

Cherryl, I'm with Nicki, never got into the Harry Potter craze. I'm more a comic book/movie kind of girl.

Mena, sandpaper and paint remover? hahahhahhahhah and OUCH

Christine, to pickin funny.

Charlene, you got edited? Where? I couldn't find it.
Daughter will be 26 on July 26. Me thinks shes gonna like her present too. Praying for you for tomorrow. Saying it now just in case I don't get back before you go to bed tonight. Ava will be fine. She will be sad for a bit but she will be fine.

Peter, your welcome. My quilts are far from perfect. Lovely but never perfect. The Amish say that only God is perfect. When Amish women make a quilt they purposely add in a small imperfection. No I'm not Amish. Just think that is cool.

Nicki, sorry you had a bad night. I tell you...get rid of the tv in your bedroom. It will do wonders for your sleep.

Odalys, A Cuban in Miami....hahahahhahhahahahah. that made me crack up.

EachDay, thank you for the reminders of long ago. Brought back wonderful memories. Hope your day is grand.

Margaret, you'll get the hang of that knifty knitter yet. We'll miss you too.
And EVERYONE that is not able to make it. I so wish I was a millionaire, I would buy a plane and load us all up and head for a tropical paradise. What fun that would be.

Marsha, granny clampett is very up with the times. Saving gas is the way to go these days. Get yourself a myspace acct my dear. Also the IN thing these days. I actually set mine up so I could keep track of my boys when they left home for the Navy. Boys have the very bad habit of forgetting to call their mommy on a weekly basis. My one rule for grown up children. My two oldest obey without question. The youngest is a rebel. Still hasn't emailed me with his email address on his ship. The bumm. I'm gonna chew his floppy dumbo ear off when he finally does get around to contacting me.

Karen, your going to see Bob Dylan? Very very cool. My dad would love to see him. He's been a huge fan since way back when.
Karen, I was told that there is no link between colon and breast cancer. With my sis just being dx with it tho, lucky me gets to have one at 45. But the standard age for baseline is 50 soooooo. A colonoscopy shouldn't be billed under wellness I would think. Wouldn't it fall under the same catagory as a screening mammo?

Liz, I'm telling you girlfriend, your allergic to work. You need to stop before you get seriously ill.

Madison.....hahahahahahahahahahahha....when you think about it tho there are way more serious addictions. So all is good. Have a great trip.

MB, I can't wait to dance around the campfire. O and I forgot....daughters friend is not coming.
Liz did I tell you that already? I can't remember blank these days.

Off for my massage, see you all later. Love and hugs to everyone I missed.
Amy, thinking of you and Praying for you
You too Puppy.

Denise - Thanks, yes, was bad and wrong to respond to e-mail, but I feel like for ONCE in my life I did the wrong thing because it made me feel better and that's probably OK.

Susan - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new avatar, and yes, a creepo and dummy he is! Thanks for the vote of confidence as to the possibility of me EVER finding someone to permanently share my life with. It's sad, but I can't even remember a time in my marriage when I felt, "this person will always love me" (though I'm sure I did feel that way in the beginning!) How did the job interview go?

EachDay - hey there, you have the picture posting gene too - you're in good company there! Hope you're having a good day.

Nicki - sounds like you must be feeling better, how was dinner with hubby last night? Yes, I did feel better! Also called my friend this morning and had a heart to heart with her about the state of our friendship. Obviously I'm in some sort of "cleaning up my emotional life" phase! LOL

Odalys - nice to see you, and now I pronounce your name correctly and smile every time I do so! You're right, it's much prettier the right way!

Vickie - I love it, glad to hear Nate doesn't have strep, hope he's feeling better!

whoops, phone! brb (I hope)

shokk

Ok guys I'm back......Hey Colleen hope you are having a good day today......don't want to spook anybody but did anyone see the previews for Larry King Live that is having Tammy Faye Baker on tonight........never watch that show and will not be home this evening but just happen to be channel surfing last night and caught the preview.....not sure I will ever be able to watch......Eachday there is a thread that our own sweet Cheri123 started about being born during the baby boom years and recalling things about our childhood.......it is a great thread.......if I can find it will bump it for you..........Vickie hoping Nate is doing better.......Nicki be careful out there on the highways and freeways of Chicago........ok guys fixin to go to lunch.....will check back in this afternoon......see ya later gators...........

susanmcm

Karen, have you talked with your insurance? For my insurance, they consider colonoscopy so vital, they cover it 100% for anyone over 50. You are probably not that old and that's why they are battling you. But if you onc says you need it, I would think that would do it. A colonoscopy is much cheaper than more cancer treatments.

margaret, if i can find a camera I'll make a video of how to use the knifty knitter and send it to you. It won't happen till after pinkstock. i'm very busy.

gotta run, getting ready for the job interview. It's at the library and it's only 20 hours a week. the libraries here are very cool. i love information and computers and this would be great. i was dreaming about it all night. i know, what a wierdo I am. what would you like to know about the dewey decimal system???

sherloc

Have all appendages crossed for the interview Susan. Good Luck

purplemb

hehehe susan you will be the hottest librarian they have...good luck...
MB
shh I'm working can't you tell...lol
too many things to keep track of and people to look in on...
Prayers and hugs...lots of hand holding...and for Colleen a nice pat on the back(JMHO you already have one wonderful man to spend you life with...Warren)hugs...
MB
speaking of sons...hmmpft...may have to secretly pack the youngest in someones luggage...must go and clean up a banking mess...boys and check books are a bad thing....good thing he's a good kid otherwise I'd ring his neck....
hugs MB

Primel

Marsha... see... it is thanks to this thread (and to Gina/NoSurrender who started it... Hi, Gina ...) that I got to meet with Karen yesterday morning... I could have spent the whole day with you, Karen, if it had not been for various commitments to meet... I was so pleased to see how fit and healthy looking you are, Karen, and very jealous of your beautiful hair... even though I know how tough things have been for you. And a dog lover, too...

I was about to get on my bike when it started raining pretty good... We need the rain so badly... I wait until it's dryer... Karen, a concert at Red Rocks... what a treat... we have a February Chemo girl who just went there with a whole group of bikers from various states... Even with no concert going on, the place is certainly spectacular, I took my father there last September, when he visited from France, and he climbed up there just fine (will be 80 this year) and made a video of everything. Let's hope the rain will continue during the day and that the evening will be dry and cooler... enjoy!

Have all a zen day,

CatherineH

Shirley---I tried the regular glucosamine/chondroitin stuff and it had absolutely no affect on the joint stuff. Switched to Move Free and what a difference! Even the glass feet in the morning stay away as long as I remember to take it.

MB---It's not suppossed to get out of the 60s tomorrow---bring jackets.

susan---we know you aced the interview. I love libraries----what a cool place to (hopefully) work! Surrounded by books---heaven.

Vickie----How's Nate?

To whoever asked about the xrays (don't mind me, I don't take notes). Thanks for thinking of me. It was fine, just like I knew it would be. It hurts but it doesn't HURT, know what I mean? She offered me PT but after three years straight of PT for both frozen shoulders (compounded by a mast and then delayed recon in the middle) I'm really pretty sick of hangin with Eric, my therapist. I'm sure the new opthalmologist will line me up for cataract surgery soon---lets fix the eyeballs first. I am such a problem to myself!

Colleen---don't know how that will fly with Tim's employees but that's his problem. He is a slimeball first and foremost. I had a guy write me a letter about 10 years ago telling me I was the best thing that ever happened to him and that was why he had to stop seeing me. Some people are just broken and need to stay that way for their own sense of self protection---we've all met them.

Will report back if MB and I manage to stagger into each other.

Vickie---you up to posting pictures? Have new ones of Sam too.

Hope everyone has a good day. Raining here too but we need it and it's supposed to clear up for the car show.

Good afternoon all. I went to bed last night at 8:00 go figure. So I got up very early this morning. It was a nice change my house is quiet at that time of morning just like it is real late at night.

Susan, I still see the old avatar of you. But then it took about 3 days for my new one to show up. lol Any you know you're right, you weren't blond and I guess I should've just taken your word for it because after all...it is your hair. hahahha

Vickie, you didn't try and have a Cyber Party without us party girls last night did you? You mentioned partying at Puppys house this week-end first. Is that where we're going?

Jazz, I love Erma.

Laura, so glad your daughter is home. Mine is 24 yrs old and I worry about her from the time she walks out until she walks back in.

Hey Gus, nice to see you post.

Odalys, so you met your dh in a club. So did I. And they said it wouldn't last. lol Mine told me back then when he walked into the bar everybody was in black and white except me and I was in color. Yeah...it got him laid. Then I married him 17 yrs ago. hahaha

Mena, I've been wanting to see that movie, now I really want to since you said I'd like it. Robin is NED now, see what you miss when you don't check in. Glad to see ya my good friend.

Charlene, dang and that was one of my all time favorite pics that had been posted. I loved the rats ass download. I thought it was so clever. Mine's still hangin in there...so far. hahahha You are such a funny girl. That's one of the things I love you.

Peter, can't see my post? I don't buy it. Hey, why don't you give someone you're phone # so we can talk to you? That'd just be too cool to actually hear your voice and I think Marsha asked for a picture. We want to get to know you better. We exchange numbes, emails etc. all the time.

Vickie, so enjoyed our IM this morning. We haven't done that in awhile.

Nicki, I'm not a Sci-Fi fan. I watched part of the first Harry Potter and that was plenty for me. But alot of folks like that stuff. I thought Ethan would but he didn't, too young i think.

Eachday, glad Shokk bumped up the childhood thread for you. It's a relaxing one to read through.

Charlene, we'll have the Magic Carpet ready tomorrow for your surgery. And guess what? I found the Magic Keys to it so I'll be driving....get the bubble wrap out cos I like to do loops!

Marsha, I'm sending you an invite to Myspace.

Liz, so glad you got your bathroom finally painted, must be a very large room lol

Karen, hope you get to see your concert tonight and it doesn't get rained out.

Madison, Iris uses her blackberry too when she's away.

Iris, when are you coming home?

Shirley, I sure like your sense of humor.

Susan, good luck on your library interview. That'd be a perfect job for you.

Puppy, hope you're feeling better.

Boo, how ya doin?

Amber took Ethan and went swimming at the city pool this afternoon. Kevins in bed down for his nap but still awake. He is warming up somewhat. Amber was dancing with them earlier, everybody giggling. She does good with her boys.
I wish I could turn back the time to when she was little...I take that back cos we'd have to live through those teenage years! Arggggg

Wishing everyone from Amy to Z a nice afternoon. Where are you Z?

Karen, I had to have a colonoscopy after tx, too. It was because of my anemia and the higher risk now after bc. I sure hope you can get the insurance figured out.

Jasmine, I'm looking forward to working out some software. Anything to make life easier. I have put in a suggestion that the high school teachers should have their own lap tops since I plan to do so much on the computer. We'll see how far that one flies.

Found out that the insurance covers my LE sleeve as "out of network" and since I haven't met that particular deductible I have to pay for it anyway. I have a temporary one right now and will get the real one in a couple of weeks (after pay day).

WARNING: Rant coming, may skip if you want.
Yesterday's picnic was a bust, at least for me and the boys. DH's General manager called not once, but 3 times while we were at the dr and ortho appts to tell dh that no family members were actually invited. I guess there was a big misunderstanding. My dd, Sarah, took all 3 messages and never told us, so there we all show up. GM pulls me and dh aside and tells us that we can't stay. No big deal, but Micah, my now 7 year old, didn't take it well. He screamed the whole time in the car while I drove to Taco Bell to get something to eat. Then we had to go back to the park anyway to wait for dh, but couldn't go over to the shelter where the picnic was. By the time he was done 2 hours later I was fuming. I should have just left and gone home, but had no way to tell him since he doesn't have a cell and didn't want to "interupt" their picnic. When I asked Sarah if she got a message, she just said, "oh, sorry, I forgot". ARGGGGGG!

Needless to say, not a banner day in my book.

Peter, I like the idea of stepping on dh's foot. That may be a good way to get it taken care of!

Marsha, when MIL was here they were watching Grease and I showed her the picture I posted of DH as Travolta and she just looked at me with this blank "I don't think they look alike". I seriously don't think she has any imagination. Have fun with the play. When are auditions to "On Golden Pond"? Are you going to try out? The next show here is Misery. They are only casting a small number of parts. My favorite director is auditioning, but I may go just for the experience of trying out. I love auditioning.

May try to go to the pool. Tstorms off and on all day, so we'll see.

Biker54

OMG Sheri!!!! Your DH should have left that picnic with you guys! My kids used to "forget" to give me messages all the time. Grrrrrrrr!!!

Cheri, Bwwwaaaahhhhaaaahhhaaa!! You are livin' on the edge, girl.

I'm at work, gotta go! BBL

Good Afternoon all,

Wow you sure miss alot when you dont get a daily check in. Thank you to all of you that send PM's and mentioned me in your post. It means so much to "feel" the love. The funeral went as well as a funeral could go. No sermon involved, it was all a reflection of my dad and what kind of man he was. Very nice and comforting. 339 people signed the book and they were lined up out the front doors of the funeral home when they closed the parlor doors so no telling how many were really there. It was steady non stop the entire time which made mother feel nice to see how many people cared for him and her. Mother seems to be hanging in there, good moments and bad which is to be expected. Tucker looked handsome in his suit if I do say so myself and he was rather proud of himself although he would never admit it. He wore the pall bearer title with honor. My nephew in Iraq was not able to come home due to being in Iraq during war time so I'm sure he had a rough day yesterday. He did call last night while I was at mothers and he wrote a poem about daddy and it was read at the funeral. Very personal and touching.

Looks like I missed some trouble around here. Dangit, I always miss the good stuff.

Mena, congrats on the house sell. I'm sure that takes a load off of your mind.

ok desk is loaded down but just wanted to let everybody know how much I appreciated all the positive vibes being sent my way. I sure needed them and felt every one of them.

I finally got a few Maine pics posted on the wagon circle picture thread also.

Amy

Below is a picture of Bean sleeping in Maine.

slanderson

Yes, I saw the preview of Tammy Fay on Larry King. I innocently tuned in last night to watch his show on Daniel Baldwin. My 10 year old son was in the room. When they cut to Tammy Fay and her husband, we both gasped. He had never seen her before and without anything to compare it to, still gasped. I haven't been able to get that picture out of my mind since last night. I have always had this unverballized question in my mind since I was diagnosed "what exactly do you die of when you die of cancer"? Now I don't want to know.
I feel so bad for her. She is upbeat, but she just looks like she feels terrible and is in pain. After seeing that, I am sure that cancer is simply the manifestation of the devil, evil.

Hi Amy,
It is wonderful to see you.You and your family have been in my thoughts esp yesterday.Iam sorry that your nephew was unable to come home. How neat was that to write something that far away and have it shared. Technology is so good,sometimes-when working.Anyway,just wanted to say hello and you were so missed.
Hi MB-sounds like you are working hard.Can't wait to see all those neat pics from Pinkstock;you have really planned well;hope to read all abt the wild times.
Cheri-hey to you,too! Hope the aft is good-trying to fig out this device and quit being invalid;miss the real comp.
Angel/Charlene-will be right there w/you on the magic carpet. I will be the one eating the Moose Tracks. Maybe I will share w/Denise and everyone else. Thinking of you.
Hi to you,Madison! Hope you are faster on your BBerry than I.It is great to keep up as I hate missing posts. Have a great time visiting your daughter.
Good job,Margaret on your Boot Camp!
Hi to you,Marsha-good job getting all those rads done-Aug 3rd will come soon I loved the bathing suit stuff,too-we had creeks just right for summer days
Each Day-we had coverlets like you are describing;love all thoae great poems and pictures.
Vickie-hope that Nate feels better real soon.
Nicki-love that cool kitty and your funny morning ones.Hope it was cooler and not as muggy there.
Peter-funny pics;happy Friday!

Robin-where are you? Need to send out the Cir Gang as we miss you.
Jankay-hoping you had a good day.
Cherryl-hi from another bear collector.
Jasmine-hope you are doing well;hope the humidity isn't crazy. I love that Erma Bombeck writing,too So very true and her wit was so obvious in her work.

shokk

Shannon I think you are exactly right.....cancer is the manifestation of pure evil......the devil for sure........((((((Amy)))))))huggs miss you so much when you are not here............Sheri your story really upset me......I can understand your daughter not giving you the message....my youngest does that all the time but I feel so sorry for Micah because you just know he wanted to spend time with his dad..........geez.........Karen I am sitting here chanting "no rain...no rain" for Denver......hope you get to go to the concert.......going to see Dylan doesn't age you at all.......ha........ok chicas love to all......miss Vickie........we have so many cg's missing......Robin, Anne, geez can't think but we all know who youse guys are........see ya later gators.........

susanmcm

Ok, Madison, if I get a job and then I can get a blackberry and then I can log in from work when no one is looking?? is that how this works??

shokk, the hair was hardest for me too. when it came back it was curly but screwy. It's not curly anymore but it's still screwy. My stylist thinks it's getting less screwy as time goes on but I think she just doesn't want me to leave and get a new stylist. I fooled her. I now go to a barber. LOL

Jeannie, interesting about the Move Free. Have you noticed that it has an effect on your appetite? Glucosamine can sometimes wreak havoc on your blood sugar. I think Move Free also has hyaluronic acid.

The interview was great. I told them at the end that I was just gonna keep coming back so they might as well give me the job now! they were ROFL. They didn't seem like ladies that mind laughing so we should get along great. I'll know more soon. AND someone else called to set up an interview. I'm in DEMAND!!

Pinkstock, Pinkstock, Pinkstock, Pinkstock!!!
If you can't come but want pictures, I'll send them from my phone. Let me know.

Janny, ya think?

Sheri, what a terrible afternoon you had yesterday, sure hope today is better.

Amy, so glad to see you posting. Your pics from Maine were beautiful. Missed you hangin around. We have to have the Magic Carpet ready for tomorrow for Charlene, and guess who found the Magic Keys...hahahaha Bubble up.

Shannon, you're from Round Rock, TX?? I lived there for awhile when I was 19 yrs old. I was so homesick that my sister back home here wrote a song about me living in Round Rock, it was funny cos it was my first time away from home. All I can remember is a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant next to a bridge that had THE best food in the world. I hadn't thought of that in ages it was 30 yrs ago.

Hey Iris, nice to see you, got your email.

Shokk, don't you wish we were going with Karen to see Dylan? I sure do.

Where is everybody?

Cheri I would love to go see Dylan.........one of the best concerts I every went to was in Santa Fe at the outdoor amphitheater on the grounds of the Indian School for the Deaf.......it was 5-9-87 and Stevie Ray Vaughn, his brother, Muddy Waters and BB King were preforming and it was snowing like crazy......they started playing at 9 and played until 4 in the morning....was preg. with first child and ex was drinking so I was downing hot chocolate like crazy........Cheri I can't believe you used to live in Round Rock.....beautiful part of Texas (down close to Austin)......Shannon wish you would join us here in the circle......could use a Texas girl that can spell.....ha.....Susan chanting get job get job for you....why do I get the feeling that you are so a "roller coaster gal???????"......ok I'm really leaving......never.......so later chicas and Chico.......

lv2cmp

Susan crossing my fingers that you get the job. Sounds like a fun job for sure.

Cheri-you found the keys,,dangit, I thought they were hidden well. Gotta find the bubble wrap and I will be ready. Nothing like a good 1st of the morning challenge.

Amy

silvergirl9114

Susan---Nothing is EVER wrong with my appetite. If I tell you there is, I'm really sick! I'm a type 2 diabetic and there has been no difference in my A1Cs----need to be under 7 and they are always 5.somethingish. (A1C is a more accurate picture of glucose levels over time than doing the finger stick thing. Mine is so stable I don't have to do that.) Yes, Move Free has that hyaleuronic acid stuff in it plus some joint fluid that they don't really break down but has herbs in it.

Hey---I KNOW you got that job. Making people laugh during an interview means they are relaxed with you and you are making a favorable impression. Always worked for me----except for maybe that one time they may have been laughing AT me.

Good afternoon CG's-

Well the sun is out for now, its muggy - so lets hope the rain stays away atleast till we are home from the concert. DH is tired and mentioned to me that he hopes he can stay awake for the concert - boy, the guy has had such a rough week.
Susan - thanks for the compliment - but I am that old!!! I am 51. Glad to hear that the job interview went well. 20 hours sounds perfect. Keep us posted.
Odalys - would you mind telling us again the proper way to pronounce your name. I missed it when you told Colleen. I'm sure it is much more beautiful than I am trying to say.
Shokk - did you get your haircut? what do you think?
amy - glad to see you posting again. Thanks for sharing about your dad's funeral. It must have felt good to know so many people loved your dad. Hugs to you and your mom and the rest of the family.
Madison - you drive safe - no checking the Blackberry while you are behind the wheel.!!!
Shirley - How was the massage? Thanks for the info regarding BC and colon cancer. But its funny, the GI doc last year when I had my endoscopy also told me that I am higher risk for colon cancer since I had BC. Then the PCP tells me this.
Cheri - happy to hear that your little Kevin is taking to you. You are a wonderful grandma and mother. I sure hope your DD Amber knows just how great you are. BTW - how is the ankle coming along? How much longer till you get the cast off? Will you be going to PT. I sure hope that the surgery gives you the mobility you wanted and so deserve.
Sheri - I think my insurance considers the first mammo under the wellness benefits. I really don't understand it all. I no longer have anything to mammo, so I don't worry about that. For the most part our insurance is really quite good, but it does have some faults. I don't feel like dealing with insurance right now, so will wait till next week when I am home bound after my sugery on Monday to fix the radiated boob/impmlant. Now that DH is going to be looking for a new job, our insurance will eventually change. I could take it out through the school district, but it is too darn expensive - over 800/month/family. I could take it out for me, but overall I think DH insurance is better. When we get our contract info for next year, I may check it out again. Speaking of conctracts - the teachers turned down the offer that the school district made to us at the end of the last year- it was way less than what the nearby districts were offered. They went back to the table last week and could not come to an agreement, so now its time to bring in an arbitrator. In the 14 years that I have been with this district, this is the first time it has happened. The new superintendant is an a**hole!!!! My principal in on the bargaining team and had the nerve to say her teachers would work without a raise if it was best for kids!!! I tell you, retirement is looking better and better, but I still have to work atleast 4 more years, and then its still not a good amount of money. But its one year at a time for me. I like what I do, but not the people I work for.
Well I think I have gone on long enough. I put a package in the mail to MB for pinkstock - hope it arrives safe and sound.
From Amy to Z and Peter down under, wishing everyone feel good days. Robin, oh Robin - please check in and let us know how you are doing - haven't seen you post in way too long. Hugs to all the CG's having a touch time. Can someone pick me up on the magic carpet tomorrow as Angel has her expanders put in? Hugs from Denver, KAren

newvickie

good afternoon...evening all and good morning Peter. Hmm...boy that gets confusing! I was so busy all day I didn't get a chance to check in and keep up with everyone so I'm gonna try it quick now.
((((Amy))))...glad you're back at home and sending you another hug. Haven't seen your pictures yet but I will check them out later.
Nate is better...whew...the fever had me really worried but it finally broke and all appears to be fine...no idea what came over him but the doctors said there are lots of nastys going around.
EachDay...oh how I remember summer rainstorms. We spent our summers on Oneida Lake with my grandparents and lived in our bathing suits, played in the sand and the mud, board games and books on chilly rainy days...what great memories. Thanks.
Margaret...no one has tongue mets...I can't remember who it was had a virus that makes your tongue hurt like crazy. I can't believe you aren't coming to Pinkstock...we had planned on hog tying you and teaching you the knifty knitter!
Angel sweets...how are you holding up? Do you need an extra Xanex or two. All will be ok as we will all be right there with you tomorrow. Be ready for your magic carpet ride! I'll make sure Cheri drives LOL...she's a bit of a wild driver so be prepared. Hugs to you.
Cheri pal...I loved talking to you today! It was fun and now we have phone number too...uh oh...I can see a habit forming LOL>
Marsha...I so wish you could be at Pinkstock to wear the Glenda dress and dance on the tables for us. I will do one dance in your honor and make sure we get pics...no telling how long I'll manage to stay on the table...you know what a klutz I am.
Liz...good Lord girl...are you ever going to get out of the bathroom! Hugs to ya!
Karen...a hug for you...don't you hate dealing with budgeting! Never enough to go around. Playing the lottery isn't even an option cuz I hate to part with the stupid dollar.
Madison is addicted...she's checking in on her blackberry LOL. Miss you too!
Yup Shirley...I added you as a friend...I'll go check mine shortly.
MB...green candles in stock and ready to bring. Still need to send my check...geez at this rate I may as well just give it to you when I get there...I am soooo slow.
Shokk...I saw the preview of the Tammy Faye Baker interview tonight. Not sure if I have the heart to watch it or not...wow...she looks really sick. Makes me so very sad.
Hello and welcome back to Catherine.
Cheri...I think we could have our cyber party at Puppy's house...then sneak into Angels house cuz she won't be home and we'll be able to play with the babies and spoil them rotten for her and then maybe we'll go pick on Jankay. Everyone is invited to join in. Starting at Puppy's house tomorrow...shhhh...we'll sneak in and surprise her.
Susan...I am bringing my camera and I'm thinking I will upload pics to a website for all to see...not sure how or where and I think there is some sort of "plan" going on for scrapbooks...but I could be wrong.
gotta go fix some dinner for "starving child"...geez...the kid eats constantly...
love and hugs to all
I'll be back

Shokk, don't know where in TX you live but I also lived in Richmond/Rosenburg off Hwy 59 just outside of Houston for awhile when I got married the first time. Down around Sugarland. I did temp. clerical work all over Houston. Hated that traffic I'm a country girl. It snowed for the first time in years and people cannot drive in bad weather in TX, no offense, but I'm from MO. and I know how to drive on ice and they went nuts with a few snowflakes. lol I lived there long enough that I had a Tx drivers license..actually it was close to a year but it was long ago. My dd was conceived there.

Karen...at a higher risk of colon cancer...well that just sucks! Does it ever end. How treatable is that?
Nicki...gonna tuck you and and take the remote away from DH so he can't keep you awake with the television...if he gives me any grief its off to the deliverance tent for a look around...that'll straighten him out.

Vickie, I finally found my missing address book and called Robin this afternoon. No answer but got the answering machine. Hope she knows I will call until somebody answers!

Hi everyone, I tried Robin's cell phone and got a message also. I told her we were worried, she was AWOL and we were getting ready to head her direction. I'll keep trying her when I have a chance.

I need to go back and read and I'll be back in a bit.

Hugs
