    Patty, I am in Southwest Missouri, outside of Springfield. So not far from NE Arkansas. Are you feeling better? Hoping so much you are.

    Are you talking about this sheep?

    Or are you talking about these 2 sheep emoji symbols at the end of the sentence below?

    I think Ms. Chevy's computer can't read emoji characters sent from a smartphone, especially iPhone's. Ms. Chevy, there are a few times when I could not see pictures you posted using my iPhone.

    Claire is pretty and is all baby.

    Yay Patty! And yay to NO MORE nausea. Thinking about putting together a table of anti-nausea meds. Let me know if you would like me to.

    Edit: never mind. Saw the link from Ms. Sas :

    Queenie, I had to look up the word 'incipient' to see how it applied to the baby. It has more definitions that apply towards an embryo> baby than anything else. Never knew. But as an author you are a wordsmith, I knew you knew something I didn't.

    I can see...maybe that's it.....we need to get Chevy some cute glasses?.?

    I have to drive 2 more hours after queenie and I meet. I will just smell the cork:). But that cake looks good!

    I might need queen bees shoulder to cry on. The kids find out where they are going for residency that afternoon before I get there. Didn't want to be anywhere near them when they find out. Don't want them to see me sad if it's far away. But she has a baby shower on Saturday. So I gotta be there :). Gotta have that happy face on :) hey I did one...I think. Won't know if happy face posted till I press submit....here we go

    LF, I am the oldest of eight and get along with everyone. Sadly, two of my sisters don't get along. I hope that one of these days they find it in their hearts to forgive each other and also forgive my SIL. I hate division and being a peace maker is taxing. Conflicts stems from not thinking about others.

    Ah Spookie, I meant to say Apple product. I have their iPhone, iPad and laptop. Find I use the iPad the most. Have basically always been an Apple person. Only used PCs at work. At one time I had both brands on my desk for work purposes.

    Yeah, Susan. 👌You go girl! 👏👏👏

    Yoohoo, 🐐🐐🐐 where are you? Hope you are just taking a break from us and all is ok.

    Lover, if you can, just back out of the drama. You don't need that extra stress in your life. Yes, we all would like to see our family get along with one another but as adults they are the ones who make the ultimate choice not to do so. Their loss. And maybe, just maybe they enjoy creating the drama. One never really knows. I have an aunt who for over sixty years carried a grudge against my mother because growing up their aunt got my mother the "prettier" First Communion dress. Scheesh. To tell you the truth, I have a picture of the two of them in their dresses and find that one is just as pretty as the other. It played a part in family dynamics. My girls picked up on it. Must say it made my family laugh. To this day, my aunt likes to get a dig in every now and then at me. I take the attitude that she is ignorant in social behavior and do a quiet laugh. Use their pettiness as humor.

    I chose at a given time to end a relationship, as others do. Most have a line. Once that line is crossed, rarely is it reversed. I think we all have it. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes we never know motivation. But in the end...........it's a loss

    Ms.Kath (didn't know you are 65), I usually try stay out of the drama. You are correct in regard to the adults making the ultimate choice.. Maybe I am bias and dysfunctional myself, but I do understand my sisters for not wanting to be around SIL. I know both sisters love my dad and would do something for him separately for his BD, but they have decided that they no longer want to have anything to do with SIL who can be passive-aggressive. Honestly, I don't like how she treats my brother and some other family members either. The reason I can forgive her behavior is because I believe she has serious issues with fear of abandonment, I have asked her to seek counseling for my brother's and nephews' sake. I guess until she recognizes that her attitude and behavior need changing, I don't think she will seek help. Told my brother that he needs to draw boundary and not let her control him. Selfishness is like cancer. It affects everything in its way.

    We have decided to have two different gatherings- dinner and lunch . Now you know one of my other secrets- i have a dysfunctional family. Thank you for letting me let it out.

    Ms. Sas, I agree about boundaries. SIL almost crossed the line when I told her about the separate gatherings. I am glad she didn't.

    Lover sorry to hear of all that inherited stress. Not pleasant. Sounds like you came up with a good plan to try and meet everyone's needs without losing your reason.

    What a beautiful baby bump Claire is showing proudly.

    Lover, when drama would creep into our family functions, my kids would say later on, "We put the fun in dysfunctional." I know it must be hard to watch your SIL mistreat family members. I do hope she is kind to the older family members and only picks on the younger ones (not that that is right). Just remember, they have the ability to speak up for themselves. Once their tolerance quota is met, your SIL may find out that payback can be hell to deal with. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that your SIL will behave herself for your dad's birthday.

    You guys are ALL nuts! But at least Y'all 'splained it to me... I DID see sheep in Spookies "screen-shot"....

    image

    But those little boxes are BOXES! NOT SMILES.... NOT SMILEY FACES.... THEY ARE DAMN BOXES!

    And these are my glasses.... to see your "boxes"

    image

    You know, when families collide, you don't have to stay in that drama... When you are younger, you don't know what else to do, but beLIEVE me, when you get older, and you can see how toxic some others are to YOU or your loved ones, it's time to give them the boot. Just don't have anything to do with them anymore... Same with your friends...

    When someone is sneaky, or you know how they lie, or are not a fun person to be around, then you know what to do. Just give it up.... Even if it IS family, you learn to just tolerate them when you have to be at a family function together...... otherwise you just let them go...Maybe things will be forgiven, or maybe not.... but you don't need any more two-faced drama in your lives. We all have these people in our lives..... but when we "grow-up" we can look back and think THOSE PEOPLE CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD....! And you walk away.

    Peppermint.... do you have your walking shoes on yet? Will they spring you today? The week end is coming up you know.... xoxo

    Love those pics, Chevy. **not my cat** LOL!

    Loverly: MANY of us have dysfunctional families. There are all kinds of crazy in mine. Older brother married to the BITCH FROM HELL. He is no longer in our lives. Shame, cuz growing up I was closer to him than to my younger brother. But I learned to remove toxic from my life in order to have a happy life.

    Susan: fingers crossed that they get a residency close to you!

    yep relationships can be yucky. My brother said he never wants to see me again or talk to me ever. He told me to just leave him alone. I told him I don't agree. Life gets messy and you work through it. But I will respect his wishes. Actually makes it easier on me, but I don't like it. He lives with our mom who has alztiemers. So that stinks. It's sad cause he and my mom have no friends. People get on their nerves. Don't get it. But that's the way it is. Every year it gets easier for me. But I still wish it was different. It's not in my control. I just know I am here if they want a different relationship.

    Chevy, great glasses !!!!!
