Laurie. Immodium. INSTANT cure.

sigh...here's me at 3:38 Sunday morning. oh, well. at least i don't have to get up for work at 6 or something. TG for small favors. :faint2: Chris. a big and hairy house clean? sounds exhausting! i wish i could extricate you from this party prep. as Trudy said, i think you DID say you were not...

hiya! just a quick fly-by! i just got home from the Cemetery Project. it's FINISHED!! i am so proud of myself. that was a LOT of pictures! i just have to resize the files, rename the, with the peoples' names and burn them to CDs, then send them off to the guy who's the coordinator of this...

Trudy! so glad to know i'm not the only one who isn't talking much to The Man in our houses. honestly, what do they THINK when they say stuff like that? Chris, wasn't is you who said: " they THINK???" :rofl:

good afternoon. oh. it's NOT afternoon?? it feels like i've put in half of a day already. hope this Sleepless at The O goes away for all of us!! Sally should start the "Up in the Middle of the Night" thread again! well. yesterday i spent 4 HOURS cleaning up the workbench that used to be my...

Chris, you know me and hysterectomies. i say GO for it. your life will completely change for the better. you will have some things to work through. (as in: you MUST take the 6 weeks to recover or you will get yourself into big trouble. so everyone around you needs to step it up and fill the...

Chris, good luck on the quality of your week ahead! sounds like the car stuff is getting sorted. it's a bit worrying about your DD. maybe some professional dietician advice is called for at this point. and a REASON for her doing what she's doing. what's left to eat? and why should YOU be...

Laurie, the charity donation thing is a way they see whether you're paying attention to the charges that go on your bill. if you don't notice it and don't report it, then they start doing more. donating a dollar to some political campaign is another way they find out if you're paying attention...

Chris, sounds like you're all moving in the right direction over there! what excellent parents you have! i think it's easier when guys become grandparents to show affection. my dad was like yours. never an "i love you," never even a hug! but he was very different with the grandkids. men. who can...

Trudy, i don't even know what a "voice over command" IS!!! i am seriously lacking. your heel is most probably some sort of bursitis from all that walking. i prescribe rest and wine! we have tons of spiders, too. on Monday, there was the biggest spider i ever saw weaving away on my front porch. i...

now, THAT'S better, Chris!! glad to hear that things seem to be working out. long may it continue, i say!! isn't it something how, when stuff is going wrong with the kids, everything seems to be falling apart? as old as my kids are, i still am a total mess when things aren't going well with...

The Wrath of Mom!! :pound: :rofl: LOVE IT!!! but, damn. why does it TAKE the Wrath of Mom to get things done? honestly, i think in life, people and institutions just assume that, if they're obtuse and ridiculous enough, you'll just give up. i spent an HOUR on the phone the other day with my...
