HiedieHo All!!
My, my the morning has flown! Doing wash, cleaned the kitchen, amde an omelet and started beef stew, went to Walgreen's and post office. Time for a sit-down!
MIATA: You can do it girl. We just have to put our minds to it! I'm trying to mind real good!
JACKK: You make me homesick for my mountains. A walk in on a snowy night is the best! Thanx for words on GD. As you know I worked with head trauma and many patients were there from what would seem a simple accident, so I always think of my training when anything happens and check people out!
DEB: Cars can be repaired and thank goodness for insurance, which we all hate to pay. DS went to shop yesterday to see the damage for himself. The estimate at that point was up to 7000 and they weren't finished checking it out! Supposed to be done by the end of next week, but you know how that goes. Our insurance covers a rental with a $5 co-pay, so I will not be without a car. Did not see GD before she headed out to school so don't know how she feels....apparently well enough for school. Kids driving are a worry, but so is most of their lives for us; you just go with the flow and hope something you taught them sunk in! Prayers for you GGA and GPs.
MOM2: How difficult for you traveling to hospitals etc. My DD was born with mouth deformities and we had regular three hour trips one way to a cleft papalte clinic in Lancaster PA. But you do it gladly to get the help required.
QUIV: Coconut is a no-no soooooooooooooo. I had found pasta made from rice flour and thought that was a good thing, but someone said they have a high glycemic rating.
Let's see, today actually is FF, can I think of something?

I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a_parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a girl a break?"
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked ****. He glared at me and started writing another ticket_for having worn tires! So I called him a piece of horse ****. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. _Then he started writing a third ticket! This went on for about 20 minutes. _The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner.
I try to have a little fun each day. It's important.

Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began?
Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland. Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He came upon a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn. As the story goes, the farmer's daughter came down from upstairs and asked her father, "Who was that man going into the barn?"
"That's some fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "He needed a place to stay for the night, so I said that he could sleep in the barn."
The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry." So she prepared him a plate of food and took it out to the barn. About an hour later, the daughter returned, her clothing disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went.
The farmer's wife was very observant. She suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse buttoned incorrectly, and her hair all messed up. She also headed straight to bed.
The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left. When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even saying goodbye," she cried, "after we made such passionate love last night?"
"What?" shouted the father and angrily ran out of the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain.
The farmer screamed up at him; "I'll horsewhip you! You seduced my daughter!"
The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped his hands around his mouth, and yelled .
"LAIDTHEOLDLADEETOO!"

NINE MONTHS LATER
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up Jack's mini-van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.
"I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained. "I'm afraid the
neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light."
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking, wealthy widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north?"
"Yes, I do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"Yes," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out. "I have to admit that I did."
"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"
Bob's face turned red and he said, "Yeah, sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did.
Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?) Keep smiling!!!
Shirley
I got him a pair of New Balance tennis shoes for X-mas (he was wearing K-mart special, grey velcro shoes before 
). I'm just trying to get along with this as best as I can and take one day at a time and concentrate on my kids and DH instead of worrying about everything else going on in the family. I got that title of "fixer of the family problem's" since Dad died and I've just about got them all told to GROW UP and quit putting me in the middle of everything. I reserve the right to make them handle their own problems unless I feel obligated to get involved these days. I would never, EVER, want to be a referee!! 
!! No reason to doubt why God made it so the women have the babies 
. He actually did better than I thought he would, but he is having some problems and had to get one of those shots in the joint on Monday and they drained a bunch of blood off of it that was causing swelling. I don't know what we'll end up having to do about it, but I hope it gets better soon or I may have to put him out of his misery 
!
I got the whole set - cardio, abs and sculpt. I tried them out in the fall and didn't stick with it, but now I've gotta get serious!
