I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

I have a 'Lucy' but she's a Yorkie. Cute as the dickens.

Otter I hear ya....Mom's 90 in July and we are trying to keep her at home. We have someone come in mornings and night. Meals on Wheels every day and of course she hates them and throws most out. I deal with a sibling who doesn't always cooperate. So at my retired age I still feel like a kid that gets pushed around. When March comes and I leave for 4 weeks I don'r even care what happens here. I have to push it out of my mine to keep my sanity.

I'll have to figure out how to post pictures on here. Any suggestions?

Edited to say....WINE every day is GOOD for us!!!

Artsee -- to post pictures here they need to be hosted somewhere else in the web.  If they are, I can usually just copy and paste -- but if that doesn't work, there's also an icon of green tree in the "Post a Reply" box (just left of the ).  Click on the green tree, and enter the URL of the image where it says URL.

(to find the URL of the image, I right-click on the picture, then click "Properties", which gives you the URL, and then I copy the URL)

Had to tell you.............I went today to get a pedi, and then decided to get a mani too..........as I was leaving the owner (wonderful girl) said ............I want you to have a 1/2 hour massage on me...........Brittany is waiting for you.............go on back, and enjoy...................I feel like a million bucks right now......................there are wonderful people................imagine 1/2 hour massage, on the house..............I give her a lot of business, and so does my family, but truely she did not have to do that...................next is my appt. for accupunture, and hopefully I'll be a new woman.......................yea right..................

Baxter went to the vet today. He has an ear infection and we have to give him drops. Whoppee!!

I was going to comment on our visitor last night but that is not worth the effort.

Hi Cindy .. glad you were able to sleep last night.  I take Lunesta for sleep most nights.

hugs,

Bren

Joy -- I don't know if AnneW mentioned her weight -- if you're thinking of my weight, well -- let's just say I don't think I'd be a very profitable cover girl for that calendar!

Cindy, I agree with you. Those two, among others, really piss me off. I can't imagine anyone with any intelligence voting for these wingnuts.

Ann, you're up late tonight.

Ok, 2 years later and I finally understand how to insert a picture!  Yes, I am a true blonde!

Athena......maybe they come battered???? LMAO!

Artsee...hey longtime no see, nice to see you here! I'm no artist when it comes to canvas but give me some flowers and watch me go!

Janice...ouch! I wouldn't want to be behind that horse!

Otter, how do you get internet way out in no where? Thats the one thing I miss when at the cottage. Anyone get internet thru satelite???

One more day of work for me then off for 6! I'll never catch up here when I get back, ya'll move to fast!

Hope everyone in storm damaged areas gets relief! The damage in some areas is brutal......mother nature needs to take a vacation I say.

Pass the icewine please!

Good morning everyone!!

Sunflower- How do I get to the Creativity thread? Can you tell it's been a while since I"ve maneuvered my way around here?

I would love to read and see it. I will try posting some things (pictures) and I did understand the directions. thanks a heap!

Morning all - thiings are so , so beautiful in NE this am  - eveybody is having a bit of a laugh at the beautiful weather - while the remains of Irene are stark.  We're just learning of places very close to me that were flooded.  Seems the Deerfield River did the most damage in this part of the state, the Westfield River a little farther south.  Fields of farms are under 6 to 8 inches of silt. Contaminated silt, which means the poduce is not edible.

The work that goes into farming, well, it's all year, and when the "results" are lost - I don't know how to explain how heart breaking it is.  I'm not a farmer, and many of my "new" friends here are.  Also, many of the farms are CSA ( Community Supported Agriculture) - means we buy a share, and pick up the produce during the season it is available.  I love the concept, because it means the people who eat the food share the risk with the people who grow it.

But day to day life is getting back to normal in MA - VT is a completely different picture.  All I can say is, that the Congess is fighting re: FEMA funding, while people are struggling to survive is an evil I find difficult to comprehend.

Artsee, on a happier note - would LOVE to hear what books you suggest to learn more about watercolor painting.  Hope all have a SUNNY SAFE day.

Cats do pick up on people who do not want them nearby and then go right to them. Perverse little devils.
Bobba is now just growling at Baxter. There is very little hissing. I just gave them cat treats and cat mint in the same room.  Baxter has retreated back into the basement. Bobba is glaring at me They are doing alright considering he has been here less than a week.

Hi ladies, I got far enough along on my catch up to see that we made it through the storm. My placed fared well, my sister's neighborhood was devastated by a tornado and the clean up there has only just begun. Vermont seems to have gotten the brunt of it. My heart really goes out to all up there who got caught up in this. It's a beautiful state and it saddens me to see so much damage. Of course, the US has seen a lot of that this year, hasn't it? I know we should be grateful for the safety of our loved ones, but seeing you life in splinters or parts of our history get washed away, is just tough.

Blue, I hope you cut those hooves off the right pony. I'm assuming you did, since they are fashionably trimmed in gold!

Anne...awesome calendar...just awesome...

wish I had made notes as I read...I didn't expect to be so far behind

Wish I could stay, but my break is over...take care all! I'll check in as I can...
