Valentines for Bovines
 
:val1: Okay, that's a reach, but it's February and we might as well find something cheery to say about it!

I think I need new reading glasses for the computer -- I find myself leaning all over the place trying to read the screen these days. It's exhausting! :tired:

Bagzz 02-01-2008 12:28 PM

WABBY--i looked at the computer ,saw a list,and immediately thought Lettie had stopped by!!! i don't think even HER lists were that long---That would have been about a MONTH's worth for me at the speed i have been operating!!!---i was instantly jealous when you said YOUR DAFFYDOWNDILLYS WERE UP!!!!! and then you mentioned the GARDEN show!!!! swoon!!!!-----you are right about Peachers===thank heavens she hasn't been talking about all the fresh strawberries and tomatoes!!!!----i do remember Painty posting a pic of pansies growing last year at a greenhouse in her area---i still look at it!!!!! well,we are expecting an ice storm this evening---PEI hasn't had power since Monday because of the storm at the beginning of the week-----never mind---i think i will listen to music,like wabbs and maybe i will get something accomplished! party on cows~

just a pic of my darling lilacs on the dining room table in spring...............

Kiwonk 02-01-2008 06:10 PM

Oh, that's gorgeous. Like a whiff of spring. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's snowing again here. I don't know what the forecast is, I'm hiding my head in the sand.

DD's birthday is next weekend, and she is planning to come home. How shall we celebrate, without inviting more than 2 or 3 people into our house? Honestly this place is getting worse and worse -- now on top of having half a kitchen floor, and the ceiling falling down, the bathroom floor is rotting out. God I hate my house.

What was I saying? I'd like to plan a nice restaurant meal out. I know I will be over-ruled on it though. DD will want me to cook something she likes, and/or make one of her favorite desserts, and DH's family will insist we go there on Sunday, so brunch is out. maybe I'll just take myself out to dinner and celebrate 20 years of fatness.

:p Oops, didn't mean to unload that on you guys. Love you :chockiss: :chockiss:

Wabby 02-02-2008 09:53 AM

Unload away, Kiwi. :hug:

Ok. I think I'm coming down off my burst of energy. I'm feeling back to my lethargic self. I think the cold and damp is really contributing to my achiness. I just realized that maybe it's not normal to hurt all over and I think I may have inherited the arthritis that runs in my family.

My Kaydy is here this morning. She's still snoozing. She's beginning to put words together into sentences. They're still in Kaydy language, so I have a hard time understanding, but the changes since I've seen her are amazing. My name is Naama. I bought some valentine window clings at the dollar store and she was so excited to put them up I thought she might hyperventilate.

Bagzie, when we first looked at this place the lilacs were blooming. It's what made me want to buy it in the first place. I absolutely love them. The daffs are up, but not blooming yet.

Kiwi, why don't you talk DD into a family birthday dinner at home one night, and then a restaurant big blow out the next? I think you should all go bowling again. Just remember, all DD sees when she walks in the door is home. And honestly, who cares what anyone else may think? I would absolutely love to come sit at your kitchen table and have a cuppa joe. If the roof leaked I'd just find a bucket and have another cookie. :cofdate:

Kiwonk 02-04-2008 01:30 AM

Oh that age is so cute, isn't it, Wab? DH's nephew's little boy is the same age as Kaydy, and we saw him today at my SIL's house. He has changed so much since I saw him at Christmas time -- talking up a storm, everything you say he has to try out, it's so adorable. How about a photo of Kaydy?

I have given DH the word about next Sunday -- it is the day of the Democratic Caucus here in Maine, and DD and I are both planning to go. It will directly interfere with any Sunday family dinner, and the in-laws will certainly not understand that we find it important, so DH will have to explain to his family why we are not available. Perhaps this will also make going out to brunch beforehand a possibility.

Super Bowl was sort of exciting, eh? I almost didn't watch, not really caring that much even though the "local" (yeah, only 300 miles away) team was playing. All came down to the last couple minutes, which was a bit of a nailbiter. Did anyone see the eTrade commercials with the baby on the computer? They were the best. There were 2 of them. Funny as H***

It's hard to know what kids see when they go home. DS has gone to his dad's condo again for another fencing tourney. Dad lives in a gigantic condo complex with a guard at the gate and all. Both visits the dad has told the guard to let DS in and both times the guards have refused. They have to talk to the dad on the phone and the dad has been at work. So .. when DS goes to dad's house, he sees himself stuck outside in the weather, tired from a long drive, hungry, and unwelcome.

When he comes here, he sees a mess.

For the past several months, I've been too much aware of my heart beat. I dread night time because I hear it and what I hear, at night, is that every fourth beat is not here. In the morning, it's better but still some are missing. I took magnesium and it helped but last week I could not stand it any more and went to a doc who put me on beta blockers and it's much better now. Was supposed to see him this morning but they called to reschedule to tomorrow.I see on Wikipedia that beta blockers are not the best drug available but they're something I can afford.

It worked in my behalf that the doc is actually a P.A. and had just got back from a weeklong conference about women's health. I fit right into his new info and was sweet and caring. I have cut out caffeine, chocolate and am eating more veggie things. He also thinks red wine is a good idea. Hmmm.

Kiwidd is going to be 20????? I am so alarmed by all this growing up stuff.

Kiwonk 02-04-2008 03:09 PM

Wow, that sucks for DS. I'm sure it is entirely up to his dad to make sure that he is allowed in; the guards most likely are only following what they've been told, i.e. his dad maybe never really made the arrangements :dunno: Well, every kid has to learn that his/her parents have their limitations. I think I'll go clean my house...

I'm glad the PA is right on top of things. Hey! I thought chocolate was good for your heart! You know, a little bit?

Cowpernia 02-04-2008 06:05 PM

I want to be thin like Bagz. *click hells* *click* *click*

Didn't work.

I have nada to say as I have no life. I've heard that chocolate is good for you, too. He was concerned about slowing down the beat and caffeine is found in choco, I guess. Anyway, who could eat a little?

The Capital Steps will be here in a couple of weeks. I'd love to go but have no one to go with. I need a life coach. I choose you all. Coach me.

Bagzz 02-04-2008 09:19 PM

well,first tell me what the captial steps are and i will tell you to go alone and maybe meet some interesting people,OR,trip in front of a handsome man and make it look like it's his fault and use his arm to limp into the event? we were in halifax all weekend at a wholesale show so i am not up to snuff on the activites in the pasture---i will peruse and get up to date---the superbowl was crazy last night--i was glad new york won,it made it more exciting,and i didn't really care either way----it's just fun to watch the big final sports events!!!====OH MY GOODNESS .speaking of events,we are all excited about SUPER FAT TUESDAY!!!!===it's the super tuesday primarys AND PANCAKE DAY TOO!!!! AND THE INSANE WIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY STARTS A NEW SEASON!!! _-- have any of you seen those chicks?? they are UNbelievable!!!!-----ok,i read the other posts-----kiwi darling--your baby is not a teenager any more----my dd's seemed 'wierded out' by being TWENTY----is your darling having angst leaving the teens or is she cool with it???? it's crazy to be the mother to TWENTY-SOMETHINGS!!!-----wabby has the best of babies----i would love to see a new photo of the darling K-baby-----if you don't want to put it up here,how about an email????----peach----i got your email about the fencing----i am going to access it on the good computer---this family dinosaur doesn't have any applications that are up to date anymore!!!---that's nuts about the dad and his guards=----they should have a better set up than that---poor kid----where is this place????the same state as you guys????----well,i have to go finish the dishes====late supper=---i made zero point carrot/cauliflower soup and IT WAS LOVELY!!!! i love carrot soup { i pureed it} see yas lata.

Kiwonk 02-04-2008 09:43 PM

Clicking heels will never get you to lose weight unless you jump up and down and wave your arms at the same time. And do it for an hour.

I watched the fencing. Cool!

Okay, I didn't CARE about the Super Bowl, but I didn't want the Giants to win. So apparently I did care. Just not very much.

DD can't be turning 20. She's still a child. One of her friends wrote on dd's facebook "does this mean we have to stop acting like we're 6?" :lol:

I just finished watching a documentary about Celtic music. It was 10 years old. Mostly about Cape Breton. Had Loreena McKennit. And Natalie MacMasters -- do you know her, Bagz? She is performing in Bangor soon and DH wants to get tickets.

Took Jetski out for an amble today. A very strenuous amble. Snowshoeing up and down hills, it was exhausting. I get extra credit.

Bagzz 02-04-2008 10:27 PM

fantastic workout kiwonkers!!----sounds fresh!!----i LOVE natalie mcmaster---she is sooooooooo cute====of course i adore loreena {saw her last fall in town at the imperial}----if you like fiddle music,and celtic music you will love natalie---she is adorable----a real Caper {as they call them} ---sort of a lilting irish-like accent. one of my friends from cape breton knows all the mc master clan----some of natalies relatives have been to parties in town and they all play the fiddle!!!-------------okay--bedtime---night night

Kiwonk 02-05-2008 01:13 AM

Do you (anyone) know what is meant by the phrase "evening cameo"? I just read this in a blog and I can't figure it out. I would think it meant an appearance in the evening or something, but that doesn't make sense in context.

Natalie McM was dancing while fiddling in a cut from some concert footage in that documentary. Looks like it might be a fun concert.

Cowpernia 02-05-2008 11:15 AM

I tried to look it up and found a clutch purse. Maybe we need the context.

I just to the doc and am much better. Pulse was 54 down from 80-something and he suggested a little caffeine and a little less medicine. Great relief. Mailed five postcards today .. two to foreign nations. I am mailing one to lcp and would like to mail her something else she needs but she hasn't responded to me in a few days. Her blog is very depressed. She misses the U.S. and doesn't sound like she's fitting in there yet. She's been told she sneezes too loudly and her violin playing is too sad. Then the viiolin broke.

Started watching, on DVD, The Riches and think it's wonderful. So funny and so unlike ordinary tv. For example, New Christine going on and on about "I'm not coming home til I have sex" just doesn't make me laugh. It makes me bored.

Why did Shots, of all people, toss us away again? Can't trust anyone I guess.

Ta.

Kiwonk 02-05-2008 02:55 PM

Hold on, I will find the context. I've seen the phrase used in sports stories, mostly cricket, so I think it's a British thing, but it seemed to mean an appearance.Do you suppose it means "moonlighting"?

We are having more snow today. I took Jet and drove into town to get the car inspected earlier. Then I had to take her out of the car so they could do the inspection, so I was wandering outside with her for 15 minutes. The snow was the weirdest stuff I've ever seen: it was in little 1/4" sticks instead of flakes! Very odd. When I got back in the car and drove home it started to sleet, but I think it is back to snowing sticks now. Strange days.

Kiwonk 02-07-2008 06:33 PM

Hey, what happened to us? We seem to have disappeared for a couple of days. I was posting a message on here and my computer froze up completely, even the mouse locked up. Apparently this is what happens when you try to do the right thing and put virus protection and so on on your computer. :rolleyes:

So what's your excuse?

DD is coming home this weekend, demanding french silk pie. We are having a pizza party at the in-laws (mine, not hers :dz: ), and I am givi

I was just about to tell you what she is getting for her birthday. Now, what if she checks here to see what's going on with us? Serve her right, I guess.

Oh, yeah, I wanted to say I'm glad you're better, Peachie. Scary stuff.

And, I went snowshoeing again today with my big bad puppy. I went up a hill through the woods and came down the hill. It was lovely -- someone had made a trail, so it wasn't too difficult going -- and when I got to the top I could see several mountains and a lake! Then I kicked myself for not bring my camera :lol:

Cowpernia 02-07-2008 09:10 PM

Go back. Bagz would show us pictures of something that beautiful.

My kitty is in the hospital. I must sleep alone now. Hope he's back soon. Same old thing .. not eating, drinking, etc.

A woman got arrested at my store today. She filled a shopping cart with about $200 in stuff, mostly baby stuff, and walked out right past the most suspicious manager we have. What I can't figure out is how he got her to stay there while he called the cops. I would've walked away and left the car in the parking lot. I know they'd follow her to her car but ... I guess she couldn't walk far enough to evade the cops. Never mind.

I have taken up drinking. It is your influence plus the doc who old the to drink red wine. I found some 6 percent wine. Pretty good. and I really like that mint chocolate Bailey's.

K. Must go. I am watching 3:10 to Yuma tonight.

Wabby 02-08-2008 01:45 PM

Hi. My excuse is that I've been busy making lists and then not marking anything off them. Well, I mark a couple things off, but mostly I just transfer things to the next day's list.

The first thing on my list every day is exercise, and I have been doing that. I've walked a half hour every day since I got back from AZ. In the rain. Except weekends. I get weekends off. Supposedly it will help my mental health. I need all the help I can get.

Have a loverly weekend, cowsies.

PS I saw a crocus blooming on my walk today.

Kiwonk 02-08-2008 02:01 PM

Congrats on the walking, Wab! Congrats on the drinking, Peach! Oh, wait a minute... I don't know, Peachie, drinking alone without a cat, sounds like you need supervision. Yeah, that Bailey's is good stuff, but it's not going to do your heart any good!

Sorry to hear about the kitty cat, is it kidneys? Male cats are so prone to kidney problems. My previous cat had kidney problems at a fairly young age, which seemed to clear up with a short time on the chicken and rice diet. He died of kidney failure, but not until years later when he was 15 or so. Or was he 18?

Gotta go do stuff. didn't accomplish much yesterday -- other than my trek up the hill. DH got me looking at old videos to compile something for DD. I got woik to do!

Cowpernia 02-08-2008 09:33 PM

I have another cat to drink with. But if Bailey's won't help, what will? Granted, the doc said red wine but this is close. The "red wine" I bought has cane syrup in it and no fruit juice. Says on the label.

I paid off a credit card. yay yay and more yay. One more (larger) to go. Sigh sigh and more sigh.

I am home tomorrow.

Cowpernia 02-09-2008 09:21 AM

Lush's lists used to overwhelm me. I couldn't imagine doing so much. They seemed to be in big chunks like clean the lr, cover the pool, clean the gutters. My idea of a list would be move books from sofa, make sure pool is ready to be covered, find out where ladder is. So it's probably my fault she left. I'm sure I wasn't nice about the lists. Here is my own list. Feel free to ridicule:

1. Pick up area in front of linen closet so closet door can be closed.
2. Wash and put away all laundry.
3. Clean path from front door to kitchem.

LCP has this blog where she posts how unhappy she is. I have written her and she writes back but now she has stopped. I offered to send her books or whatever but wanted to know what she would like. Why send her something she didn't want at that price? She doesn't answer. Now, I feel that if I pursue this, I will appear to be stalking her. I have a lot of affection for this girl. What to do?

DS is going through the RA application again. He knows they'll ask him the hardest thing he's ever overcome. I suggested the day that he walked from his dorm to the hospital with a collapsed lung, stopping along the way to see what was happening in physics class.

What happens when you pay off a credit card? Will I get a thank you letter?

Have you tried Bertolli's frozen meals? They are so tasty and so simple to heat up. I watch for them to go on sale (buy one get one) as I think they're about $7 each. But they're delish. One bag feeds two people, it says, at about 500 calories.

Did Lush ever post a list then sit and type and sit and type and procrastinate? No. She did not.

The vet doesn't know what wrong with the kitty. Testing would be expensive and she's treating him as though he has what the had last time and he seems to be responding to antibiotics, steroids and an iv to rehydrate him. She said that when he's out of the cage, he just wants someone to hold him. isn't that a terrible thing to say? Guilt inducing. He's a sweet cuddly cat. He's in a cat clinic, no dogs, and in a cage twice as big as others have with a little cat bed, cat box, food, water and about that much floor space to walk on. When I was there he was stuffed in the little area behind the cat box with his head on the box.

I go now. I be back.

Cowpernia 02-09-2008 10:31 AM

OK, that well pretty well.

Now:

1. Clear off dining table.
2. Pick up hallway.
3. Clear off ottoman.

Knit, watch cartoons, look for mail delivery to kill time.

That sounds like a full day to me. You're a wonder. Must be the Bailey's. Please tell me you did not buy wine with cane syrup in it. Wine has grapes in it. Fermented grapes are good for your heart.

I forget where lcp went. Japan? I know nothing. I'm not too surprised she has stopped writing to you. I think it's pretty hard to keep up a relationship like that (ex's mom) unless there are other family connections involved. I haven't talked to my brother's 2nd wife since they divorced. Not because I don't want to talk to her, but you know, awkward, nothing in common, moved on. Sad, but true. Hope that's not the case with lcp, maybe she's just busy and you'll hear from her one of these days.

So DD and bf got home, we went over to his house for dinner last night. She finally set foot in our door about 11 pm, but she's so sweet about it you can't really hold it against her. She's swamped with homework, so she is doing that today while I finish the pies and DH works on her b'day present :lol: She and the bf scrapped their previous cellphones plans and got a plan together. All by their little selves. Saving themselves a bundle of money.

Gotta go cook

Cowpernia 02-09-2008 01:59 PM

please explain IMMEDIATELY how ds and bf saved money with a cellphone plan. DS and I have one together and it's just under $80 a month with the discount I get for working where I work.

She's in Korea. She is Korean. She does not like it there and misses chairs.

I am watching Dexter. It's supposed to be so good but I'm so sick of these bloody body parts shows. Everything is tv is the same d*mn*d show over and over in different cities. When will that change? Why isn't there something for everybody instead of just something for the autopsy crowd?

Yes I bought the syrupy wine because I did not the label until I got home and because it was cheap and because the alcohol content was 6 percent and someone had JUST told me about wine from Germany with 5 percent alcohol that was sooooo good and she couldn't find it here.

What is dd getting that requires finishing? Drapes? Handmade chandelier? padded coathangers?

Bagzz 02-09-2008 07:46 PM

A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day. He put the cat in his car and drove it 20 blocks from their home, leaving it at the park. But upon arriving home, he found the cat just walking up the driveway.

The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home. Once again, as he drove up his driveway, there was the cat!

At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there.

Hours later, the man calls home to his wife: "Hun, is the cat there?"

"Yes," the wife answers. "Why do you ask?"

Frustrated, the man answered, "Put the little ******* on the phone. I'm lost and need directions."

SugP 02-10-2008 03:06 PM

moooooooooooooooooo!
 
Yes, I know I have been AWOL. Bad, bad Sugar! No mojo. None. My life sucks.

Things that happened (in list form, of course):
  • Took ds14 to the eye doctor and found out he needs glasses. No surpise considering the source.
  • DH ripped up the terrace and has ordered new wood for it. Very messy.
  • Walked 1 1/4 (count 'em) hours with DH today. He says it's good for our relationship. We talked about cabbages.:D
  • (Finally) cleaned the toilets. About time.

I promise I'll come back tomorrow when I'm in a better mood.

Yes I bought the syrupy wine ....

What is dd getting that requires finishing?

DD was paying over $50 a month as her part of a family plan with her aunt and her cousin and his wife. At the same time, the BF was on his family's plan which didn't have enough minutes; he had to wait until 9 to talk to her or end up paying extra. So now they are paying $70 plus tax (lord knows how much that is :?: ) between the two of them and have enough minutes to talk to each other whenever they want, I guess. I don't think you can get a cellphone plan that amounts to much less than 35 or 40 a month, unless you go prepaid like mine. Prepaids are good for people who don't need a lot of minutes.

So I'm still curious -- what is the syrupy wine? Manischevitz? Seriously, when they talk about red wine being good for your heart they mean dry -- like cabernet, shiraz, merlot, burgundy, that stuff, right? I have never researched it because I can't drink red at all (migraines), so I'm not sure.

The present that needed finishing was this DVD that DH made with photos and video of DD's birthdays through the years. I spent a lot of time looking at videos and marking the spots to clip and put on the video sections. Which DH mostly ignored. He is still working on it, revising the damn thing to make another copy (he gave it to her Saturday), new intro blah blah blah. And he ran through it with me and we found a glaring mistake which apparently he's not going to fix. :rolleyes: Well, at least not until he makes another new copy. I don't know, he's still editing something, I don't know why he couldn't fix that. I wish he'd go plow the driveway again or something.. LOL

It is 12º out plus this wind that has been whipping around out there since last night, making giant snowdrifts out of the new snow we got yesterday and making it really cold in our bedroom. It's blowing so hard that malf the windows in the house are covered by snow, some of them are completely white.

I was going to correct that so it said Half the windows, but I decided I like Malf.

I forgot to tell you what I did yesterday: we had the Democratic Caucus here in Maine, and I not only went, I volunteered to work at the polls in November. I also...wait for it...drum roll please..... am a delegate to the state convention in May! Why I volunteered for this, I'm not sure, it will probably end up costing me a couple hundred dollars because I'll have to stay overnight one or 2 nights in order to attend all the stuff, but heaven knows I need something worthwhile to do, so I guess it's a good thing! I was in a minority at the local caucus, but at the state level, it will be a majority, so that will be exciting to be on the winning side there (I'll let you figure out which side that is). Hard to say at this point, which will be the winner at the national convention, but as long as we get the freakin' Bushies and their ilk out of Washington, I will be happy!

Oh, I forgot I'm not supposed to get political here. It's on topic though, because I lost another pound, um :chin:, oh yeah, when I got up to speak (yes I did!). Speaking in public is worth at least one pound, isn't it?

Cowpernia 02-11-2008 07:36 PM

In a fit of boredome, I peeled the label off the syrupy wine but Arbor was part of the name. Arbor Mist maybe. There's a lot of their stuff in the store.

I am in a bad bad mood. My cat, the good cat, is home from the vet and I paid dearly to get him. I needed that money for real life things. Depressed over it. I'm not even liking the cat at this moment.

I'm disgusted with politicians, too. Why did Hillary put up with Bill all those years? Why does anyone respect Ted Kennedy? I just hate that he never went to jail. I am just grumpy.

Cow earrings would cheer me up but what's the chance of that???

I heard two astounding things on NPR. First, 3 percent of the babies born in England or London belong to Pakistani Muslims. These people, the report said, marry first cousins and 1/3 of the babies born with hereditary illnesses come from that 3 percent. They health services people are campaigning to get them to stop marrying first cousins.

Secondly, Canadian is a new derogatory slang word for black person. I can't explain it. The world moves too fast for me.

Wow, I'm having a hard time getting my head around that one. Does that mean we need a new name for Canadians?

I am wasting my whole day on the computer, it seems. I keep forgetting what I'm doing, getting distracted by something else. I think I need a lobotomy. So far I have been reading up on the election, enjoying a travel article about Iran, trying to input my food list on Fitday, filling in calendar dates regarding DD's school calendar, looking up balloon bouquets, researching study abroad deadlines and costs and trying to update my defragger program. And I don't mean that's what I've done, I mean that's what I have open now. No wonder I'm confused.

Happy Valentine's Day!
 
:val1: So where are you all? Making valentines for your honeys? :val2:

I took some pictures! of pretty crystallized trees! We are all ice around here. Had a foot of snow the other night, although the top half of it was all sleet. Then it rained and rained on top of it, we lost our power for 12 hours or thereabouts. I don't actually know how long because now we have a generator and I got to have lights, heat, water and even TV! I turned it off when I went to bed, and when DH got up this morning, the lights were on. Now everything is glittery outside. I will put some photos up on facebook and send you the link.

hi children. I can't get into my email. I am hereish. I am going to get my hair cut but I want it longer and I want the coloring to grow out but I hate the real color and I wish it curled. So I don't know what to do.

Valentine's Day was spent at work selling flowers, candy and cards all day. My fav was the guy who bought a standing rib roast and artichokes. He was making dinner including bernaise sauce for the chokes.

Someone entertain me. All I have to say is b*tchy stuff.

i AM BACK into my email thanks to ds. During the process, he learned his material gf's middle name.

I am wondering about Shots. Why does she come and go? Well, why does she go? I was in a bad mood yesterday and bought Bailey mint chocolate. Hmmm. And I bought a cork screwer removal thing just in case. I would be in a better mood if people would post.

Sugar should be back any minute. I will sit here and wait.

Here I is. Nothing to say. My iPod is acting funny. I though it was broken but then I read the effin' manual and brought it back to life. I think it just has a low battery. Like me.


Another campus shooting. How awful. :(:(:(

You fixed it by reading the manual? Marvelous. Talk about the following:
1. Fav movie not in English.
2. Last day it rained and what did you do?
3. Where do you think the satellite will land?

we just watched " two days in paris" i think it was called---it was a 'relationship' movie----mostly french,dubbed in english----kind of, dorky------the girl who was a photographer, liked taking pics of her lovers with helium balloons tied to their wingdings. i was looking for Parisian Romance----only found thirtysomething party people who were too trendy for me-----the last time it rained,i was here in the house complaining about the rain----freezing rain that has now turned to ice everywhere---- i think the satellite will land in the pacific ocean,and i also think the starwars type of people will blast it if they can,because they can---and just to show off that they can----i have to work tomorrow so i think i will go to bed-----dd number two turns 22 on monday---how did i get this effin old---dd number one will be 24 in may------fly fly fly away time time time-----------------and no i have not been DRINKING!!! see yas tamara!!

Since I am not paying attention to the satellite, and when it rains here I look out the window and worry about when it will freeze, I am going to answer question #1 three times:
  1. Amelie
  2. A Pain in the *
  3. Ana

Isn't it odd that they all start with A? Everyone should see Amelie, it is such a lovely little quirky movie. The 2nd one is an old French one, slapstick, the reason I like it is that by the end of the movie you can't help saying "Oh my god what a pain in the *" :lol: The 3rd one is a Spanish movie I saw decades ago and can't find again. Maybe I remember the title wrong because when I look it up, it doesn't seem to be the one I want to see. It was about a beautiful little dark-eyed child and it was just wonderful and I don't remember anything else.

Can I trade in for that guy with the artichokes? Here's what I got for Valentine's Day:
zip
nada
nothing but a hard time

1. None of the movies here are in English. Which one should I choose?
2. Ummm...Tuesday. I put up my umbrella and kept on walking.
3. Germany. Heard it on the news today. Will take pictures if it lands in our back yard.
