STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

luvmygoats

Mary - Not SC or GA girl but pretty southern even though I was born in Utah. I think I wrote that local newpaper has the latest arrests in it so I do know redneck. Been a Texan for the last 44 years.

Sassy - sorry the hands are acting up. Allergy season is upon us - the giant ragweed.

They won't spoil me so much next week. I'm milking the surgery thing!

Well actually Im a chicago transplant, but been here forever, Yep Luv Im sure Texas has a large batch of rednecks too. My kind are the ones that sit at the feed store in the mornings with their coffee and their chaw (chewing tobbacco) for those of you who dont speak southern!We are really in the sticks even though we're right outside Charlotte.

I'm a IL transplant to. Born in Evanston. Moved to NE, went to VA Bch. Now I'm here. Thankfully metro enough so I don't see red neck too up close. Usually!

luvmygoats

Oh my yes. I get to make the feed store run now and agree 100%. We do have 3 eat-in hamburger grill gas stations that serve the same purpose so cuts down the feed store sitting some.

SAMs and Kroger are my feed stores. Kids are eating us broke!

4sewwhat

Does the limo double as the town herse?

Probably spelled that wrong but don't really care! Haha

marywh

Hi 4!

Love Marietta. Got lost there once at the 475 split. Welcome! I'm more or less sane?

4sewwhat

We never get lost...just temporarily misplaced! You made it home after all :0)



Thanks for the welcome everyone!

4sewwhat

Thanks! It needs more work. We threw it together fast to help a lady in NJ get started with her cold caps. She started chemo weds .



Happy to add jokes or pics anyone wants to share!

Getting lost, you don't know anything about getting lost. Since getting the car in Boston we have made a practice of getting of getting lost. We always find ourselves again and sometimes it actually was fun because what we found was more interesting than what we were looking for. so if you want to know how to get lost just ask. And Miss4 I agree it really is being misplaced.

Ok I'm not really going there about being lost cuz well OK--this was the littlest of us getting lost. Visiting in a funeral home about 15 mins. and realizing we were in the wrong home--we wondered why we didn't recognize anybody or who died so we left and got unlost.

MaryW I lived in Villa Park/Lombard unti just recently that' just dunny to me.

These are photos of our cottage (1901 one room school house) and our beautiful view of the lake and leaves changing...so peaceful here!

4sewwhat

Wow, so pretty! Had to turn the tablet to take in the whole view. We should plan a group get together. The Big Girl Panties could perform, I'm a caterer and lord know we could find a bartender!

SEE I LIKE CHICKS

CRAP! I'm away less than one day and I'm 4 pages behind.

Cuatro - you fit right in. Doesn't matter if today was your first posting...pick up like you've been here forever. We need more characters, although the batch we have can be a little rowdy.

Oh Ducks you are just way too much. I mean really! Yes, we need to all go visit you next summer at your beach house.

Sassy - GDI - that's ENOUGH. I want to talk to you tomorrow - sending you a PM with my phone number. It's a 6 hour time difference and I'm sleeping in till 9 am so pls don't call me before 3 pm your time - but I mean it - I don't like this quietude on your part - it's not natural.

Mary you sound good - you are truly a Rock Star, and Chickster you sound so much better, you're a Rockette!

Well, I start my new job in 10 days. I finally got my mojo back. Thinking about getting some laser surgery  touch up on my skin for 40th HS reunion next month, have an appt on Monday.

Mary - my covered lanai is coming along. Found a wicker patio set at a garage sale and power sprayed it clean today.

Hoolies, please try to keep it under 10 pages by the time I sign in again tomorrow.

Shells, so happy to hear you so upbeat. It's been a long time coming.



Welcome, 4. Milk your recovery all you can..

camillegal

Shells u do sound good---Now is the countdown for u'r job so anxious to hear all about it too. and so good for u to talk to Sas---the 2 of u might come up with something to do. I hope so.

I hope today is a good or better day for everyone,

It's early and chilly out now but not going to be hot today just normal. I think Fall started right? Well my falling has started along time ago but I did mean the weather.

So if I wanted breakfast in bed, that would mean I could not get up to get it, Ha!  You are very lucky 4!  So do you mean you have a little one AND a 50 year old?  My oldest Daughter is just 55 yesterday... Our youngest is 52...  And still our "kids." 

So Cammi, this one is for you, but I like yours better...Ha!

This is our little victorian house....built in 1896.... We actually haven't LIVED here that long, only since 1964.... but I grew up just a block from here.   The girls slept/lived in the little room upstairs, with the slanted roof....     One bathroom too, Ha!  But now that room just holds lots of "stuff!"   

So good morning to everyone!  It's almost 6 here....  Love you guys! xoxoxo

Chevyboy

Oh look at that!  Tapered pictures!  There is no end to this talent!  

camillegal

Chevy I love the look of u'r house, it's like a storybook house or a chalet u'd find in the alps, it looks so magical to me. Of course we know u didn't live there when it was built but come on the turn of last century was u'r official moving date.  hahaha 1 bathroom--There were 6 of us and 1 bathroom. How the hell did we do that and I really don't remember anyone having a big problem with it then, but now I think it would be a necessity.

Alyson

Morning all

Love the house Chevy. Will be in touch, get to Denver tomorrow evening.

Talking about bathrooms we had only one where I grew up and actually our present house which was built in 1887 had one until we put in an ensuite. In my childhood home we had one bathroom - literally that with the toilet off the back porch. I hated that as a child especially at night and it was only later on my father closed in the porch. anyway we survived.

Big hugs

Very Nice house!  I am just catching up today.  I would be one of the night owls in this group.  If I see 5 am it is usually from the other side :-)  plus slept like crap, can I just say surgical drains suck and leave it at that.  Hope to lose one tuesday but the second is in for the long haul.

The 50 year old would be the husband!!  Have 3 boys 11, 14, and 16 in nov.  Girl child just turned 9 but gives the boys hell like she was 29!

Good day ladies.  My hiatus is over.  Laundry and bathrooms wont clean themselves.  I have waited long enough to prove that theory with no luck.  Back to work this week too.
