Ooops.

Couldn't post. I was growing out my bangs. I just realized I haven't been to the haidresser since, oh, October 2007. And you know what? I don't care. Well, I do, I'm just too DAM lazy to make an appointment.

Happy Belated Birthday, Bagzerooonie! Can't believe I missed it. We have so much b'day excitement going on in Feb/March that I just can't keep up. My little baby turned 12 on March 11. Wheee! He is still such a mummy's boy.

Very nice signs, Kiwi! Not at all anal.

Today I am sending out a 'congratulations on your new baby' card and three condolence cards. Mixed emotions.

Peachy - Dr. Peachesds sounds VERY good. I bet he can do that with one hand tied behind his back. I'm going to come live with you so we can be lonely together.

Dh is being a carpy husband. Yes, yes, I know I should be grateful to even have a husband, but really, sometimes he is just TOO MUCH and I want to take the credit cards and run away. Oh well, this too shall pass, eh?

Kids have Easter holidays. It's 11:40 a.m. and they're still sleeping. I kind of like it.

I am clearing out the spare bedroom for you Sugar. Bring the kids. When DS was here, he slept 12 hours at a time then complained that he slept too much. He didn't think about how he worked 40 hours that week or how he stayed at night working on/procrastinating his paper.

I want pictures of the bangs.

I think I spend too much time indoors. It's all out and when I go out with the pupster, I can't stand the brightness. I am apparently a

Thanks for the compliments, Bagzie. They are kinda kool.

I dreamed I had a job. But it's okay, the company was going to move far far away and I wasn't expected to go with them.

Personally I think we can stand to look upon the virtual Sugar even if her bangs are not quite completely grown out. What do you think?

Peaches, what would you like for an event? Perhaps a celebrity golf tournament? Singles only fly fishing demonstration? Naked cooking show?

Have you all watched any of Oprah's Big Give? I find it all a bit unbelievable -- that it's so easy to raise thousands of dollars just by saying "we're from the Big Give". I think Oprah paved the way, so the show wouldn't look pitiful.

I've been watching HBO's In Treatment too. Little therapy session every day. Interesting. Not helping me any.

I have no energy. Is it really St. Patrick's Day? I guess it must be. I haven't been paying attention to the real world.

Kiwi

Singles who like foreign films. I haven't seen Big Give. What do they give to? I have mixed feelings about Oprah. Did you know that 2 Brach's choco covered rabbits with marshmallow centers only have 175 calories? Ds left his puter charger here. Who gets to mail it to him? Guess.

okay sugar sugar!!! TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY SO YA DIDN'T MISS A THING!!--- I AM AT WORK!!! this older gentleman { he says he is 44 ,twice} comes by the shop every day and gives us a chocolate bar-----today it was kitkat 'chunky' version!!!----he wants to take me to bora bora!!------sugar-,tell,carpy that you and the kids are going for a visit to peachland for a bit,and he can change his carpy ways----a few weeks without sugar will turn him around!!! if not,we want you back in CANADA!!!!XOXOXOXO we miss you!!!!-------alot of husbands look and smell like carp sometimes............................

to treat myself-------------i just bought at HOT ORANGE CRANBERRY MUFFIN FROM THE BAKER IN THE MARKET AND I AM SLATHERING IT WITH BUTTER----just thought some of you might want to know---i am telling myself that i can eat whatever the **** i want today {and most days]

Oh that sounds divine. I will eat one on my birthday, too, if I can find one.

About that suckup woman .. the employee who witnessed her snarling at me, told the boss that he's had problems with her, too, and will call the police the next time she speaks to him in such a manner. This guy is in the police academy so I thought it was a great thing to say.

My local satellite post office can't accept anything over 13 oundes due to homeland security legulations. So I can't mail DS the charger without DRIVINGGGGG somewhere. hay-ull.

Happy Delicious Birthday Honeybun.

Bagzz!

Happy Birthday to the Adorable Bagzie!!!

Have a great time in Bora Bora, you deserve a vacation. Just remember to give him a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, or things could get awkward.

Later darlings

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! AWKWARD INDEED!!!YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSS----WELL,if anyone would like to come with me to Bora Bora and entertain my 88 year old,you are all welcome---the wine is an excellent idea!!! thanks for all the good wishes cow-cows!!! and thanks for making a guest appearance with the gorgeous lettering Cookie!!!! what's up with you????do TELL!!!----------so ,tomorrow,back to being fifty-one and what the hay ull as peach would say-------------bring on the muffins!

I was just thinking of asking ds to make a point of telling me something positive every week or so when I got an email from him telling me everything is going wrong in his classes. He has a paper not finished that was due 2 weeks ago, assignments not turned in, bad grades, etc. I wonder if he's depressed and I don't know what to suggest. Ideas?

Happy Birthday on the right day, Bagzamuffin! (or did I miss it again??)

Bora Bora sound wonderful. Dealing with an 88 yr old can't be that difficult, can it?



YES! Buy him this book for his birthday: The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play

I'm reading it now and it's actually making me DO stuff instead of *thinking* about doing stuff. And we all know that I am the OberSupremeProcrastinatrix. Many examples in there of students being overwhelmed at the the prospect of of writing papers, studying for exams and just generally having poor time management skills.

It snowed all over my daffodils yesterday. Now it's snowing again but the shine is shining gaily. I'm dreaming of a white Easter???

Bagzz, between running up to Little Rock to take care of my mom, my health and one of my kid's health, I just haven't had the energy to do much else.

I started seeing a new doc at the end of February and he determined I am borderline diabetic and no wonder I have been feeling like crap. I have only been on Metaformin, Byetta and Wellburtin for 19 days, but I am feeling lots better already. Thus I have shown up to bug y'all.

P.S. Is it just me or is this forum slow?

Hiya Cookie! Wow, sorry about all the family health issues. Hope your "feeling a bit better" days continue. And yes, the forum is soooooo slow.

My suggestion is to send him an email offering to come and stay with him for a few days to help him with his homework. Either he will stop complaining, or he will consider the idea, in which case you know he really is depressed.

Oh, I need that book. It doesn't read like this by the same author, does it? I couldn't read a whole book like that.

Truthfully I have pretty much given up doing stuff at all, I'm so behind. Today I spilled half my oatmeal on the floor, and patted myself on the back for delegating that cleanup job to the dog.

So glad you are starting to feel better, and glad you are here! I don't notice the forum being slow at all, but I have dialup so if it loads in a few minutes I'm impressed.

People with dialup are really getting the shaft: my ISP dumped all its dialup customers on another, unknown company. They never said anything; it happened in January. We had a couple of outages recently, and they still never said anything, never replied to our queries (not that they ever had very good customer service anyway Prexar, by the way, to name names). We couldn't connect for a whole weekend and finally got through to a number they'd given us when we tried to call their regular support number ("call during business hours" ). Turns out they had changed our login name without informing us at all. They still didn't tell us our account had been sold (or that we were in fact talking to a different company at that point). We only found out when DH emailed support again to see if there were any other dialup changes we should make, and they replied with a terse "Your account has been sold to xxxx Here's their email address" This address didn't work, so I demanded more info; I did finally get a reply of sorts. Still haven't gotten any response from the new company. Unbelievable. What I don't get is that these companies could save themselves a lot of cancelled accounts and a lot of time spent dealing with complaints if they just told people what was going on. Like maybe they could use the internet of something to let people know......

Rant over....

My little kiddo is coming home today finally. Hopefully she is having a wonderful time skiing right now.
