I'm sorry BARGOO...what were you saying?

Use it or lose it !

lol

Re Games Move: Right now we are dealing with some technical issues but it IS going to happen. Trust me!

I'm off to see my orthopaedic surgeon this morning to try to find out why an artificial knee still hurts 20 months after the replacement! Grrrr! If he tells me to just do yoga-breathing for the pain, I'll kick him and chose my target carefully!

Good Morning!

Trying to get the kids into BACK 2 School routine. 13 days left. But I am the one struggling to get to bed on time and get up @ 7. I have really enjoyed the kids learning to leave me alone untill I get up. Its been 8 long years of the kids getting to me before the alarm does! LOL

Operator - have you heard of our spunky 16 yr old Canadian punker named Shilo? She sings a song called Operator. And every single time I heard it I laugh and think of you!

Back in the day Motown had a big hit with a song called "Operator" about 19 years later an English group had a hit with "Smooth Operator".

Julia-I Googled it, but, I couldn't find it.

Bargoo-I remember Sade's version of "Smooth Operator".

Ruthie-I trust you to know exactly where to put your other knee. hehe

And, Gary "lost it" a long time ago.

hmmmmm..... some lines seem remarkably like an Operator we know. Is there a connection?

The tv says i`m not the girl that i should be

Why would i want to be anybody else but me

I know i`m gonna make it

The whole thing:

Yeahy Bill!
You rock!
Thanks for posting it. Now that you see the lyrics...get why I think of our dear Operator?

Hey!!! It doesn't mention how kind and sweet and loving I am.

STFU, EZ!!!!

No worries! That is another whole song.

Maybe this next video will appeal to your softer side http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWZxc...eature=related

OPERATOR'S song?....ok....I'll give it to her...all except the part that says....

I'm not gonna fake it!

WAKE UP!
HAPPY HUMP DAY!
the WEEKEND IS 1/2 way here!

If it's almost the weekend, that means it's almost time for the 1st football game of the season!!!

I have to focus on that right now or I'll drive the 100 miles to my sil's house and kill her She just e-mailed us a bill for fil's funeral for over $900!! This is after she had told us there was plenty of money in his accounts to pay for the funeral SHE planned and wouldn't let US change any of the plans. I'm about to blow a gasket-it's a good thing she doesn't live any closer.......

Ronnie, it might be worth killing her but not for $900 bucks. Actually, that's not a lot. My DH's funeral was very simple, no visitation, and was around $6K. I prepaid it so there was no big bill.

Today I am going insane with these drywall guys. EZ, help me! They talk all the time, loudly over the machine sounds and also play their radio at top volume so they can hear it. The dogs are going insane with having to bark every time there is a crescendo. The lawn contractor just arrived too so there are two mowers and a weed whacker roaring away outside. I think I'll put in my ear plugs.
