Abbreviations for newbies - updated

I was thinking of the 6 hours between you and smithlme, then the time from there to me.  It's more like 9 hours on I-5.

BFL is the closest.  I'll pick you up.

School's out here!  I'm officially bummed.  DD will be here ALL the time---my quiet time @ lunch when I come home from work is over for 3 months.  Aargh!  

Was I on the right track, Ainm?

I'm ready Ainm! Love the new avatar.  I wish they were bigger so we could have more detail though!

Ainm..Your new avatar is very nice.

Ladies you made me LOL about teenager talk. I remember those 1 word answers or pretending they didn't here you. when they were in their late teens and cranky my DD was reading a book, i just tried to make a conversation by asking what she was reading. Her answer was ' A book"

Or where are you going / Answer ' OUT '.

I will take some tea with lemon please.

Good Night!

I was wondering if my translation of your last message was on the right track. Ainm.  I love your new avatar.  Makes me think I should update mine, but I don't have anything good to change to.

You would think that my youngest at 19 would be done with the teenage stuff. I guess living at home makes her seek her privacy a little more than my other two who moved out during college. All I know is she will be home by 11:30. She keeps me informed but only the minimum. Her being the youngest is harder on me too. I'm use to a house full of kids and during the summer it gets pretty quiet around here. 

The one question I never get a decent response to is: Do they have a home phone? I'm starting to think we are the only cave people with a land line anymore. 

I count myself one of the lucky ones.  No children arrested, alcoholic or addicted to drugs.  Just normal wear and tear of life.

ohhhh- I like that Patoo; good line for a Father's day card.

ha Meece-I'm doing it without one of those too.

Had DS over for dinner and just got him out the door.  We had to watch the Lakers win first!  It was a nice evening.

Evening all - sorry I haven't said hello in a while it's been a bit hectic here.

Meece - as always your Irish is impeccable, I take my hat off to you!!!

Patoo - DS is touching base with us at the weekends.  He's finding his feet slowly but surely. There was no delph or cutlery in the apartment he rented so he took home some of the disposable cutlery from the canteen at his work place and he bought a few bits and pieces.  He is finding it hard to buy fresh food, most things seem to be pre-packed and the fresh stuff he found is quite pricey.  He says there doesn't seem to be anyone under the age of 30 around except for a couple of interns working where he is and staying in the same apartment block.  He is the only one who seems to have a cooker so the other two sometimes drop in to have him cook stuff for them.  He'll be fine - he's always had an adventurous spirit and at 23 he is sensible enough (I hope!!). He was going to make his way into NY last weekend to explore!!

Seyla, Eph, Jo, Paulding, Gilly and Garfield hope you are all doing well.

I was at a wedding today-a young lady I've known since she was about 2.  The 1st time I taught VBS, she was a kindergartner in my class.  She has been my main babysitter for DD since DD was about 7 & the girl who got married has been my housesitter/petsitter since I've doing the single parent thing.  She's 21 & gorgeous & I cried like a baby through the whole afternoon.  It was a stunning wedding; red, white & black for colors-it was beautiful!  I can't sleep because I ate too much & had too much fun!

It was really nice.  I made DH a lemon cake and had two narrow slices myself.  DH had 3 helpings.  I guess he liked it.  Unfortunately I did, too.  Hopefully he will take the rest to work tomorrow.
