Happy
So sorry to hear about Mr Feral.

This week has not been a good one. More L issue's. I've called her bluff on some of her "white lies". I'm trying to get her to see that I do not rely on the boss to do every little thing for me. I'll leave it at that. No I'm not still training her.

I've set the laptop to be wireless, but not sure exactly how this works. I still need to ask the Dell rep some questions.

Sorry no time for personal's. I've a busy week end. This is my short week end and I am having to go to Paragould for a funeral. My cousin's daughter who had Down's syndrome passed away last week.

HAPPY MY HEART IS BREAKING FOR YUOU AND MR FERAL. LIFE IN THE "WILD" IS SO SAD. SENDING A HUG :hug: FOR ALL OF YOU. JUST THINK HOW MANY GOOD DAYS HE HAD BECAUSE OF YOU AND ERIC CARING. HE WAS BLESSED WHEN YOU MOVED IN.

CEEJAY~ I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE DEATH. :hug: MY CONDOLENCES TO BOTH YOU AND THE FAMILY. SORRY FOR THE WORK ISSUES ALSO. I WAS HOPING THAT SITUATION WOULD IMPROVE.

ANNIE~ ENJOY :beach: SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS AND RAINBOWS....LA LA LA

MICHELLE~ I WILL BE CLEANING WITH YOU FOR A VISITOR THAT WILL COME AROUND MAY 9TH FROM AUSTRALIA. SO WE WILL KEEP EACH OTHER COMPANY THIS WEEKEND! :rofl:

THIS DAY IS GORGEOUS. MY KIDS ARE STILL OUT AT THE FIL'S HOUSE AND THE OTHERS ARE IN NYC FOR THE DAY.
ALL OF THEM ARE GOING MALL SHOPPING TOGETHER TOMORROW AND THEN MY VISITORS WILL LEAVE. THEY ARE MUCH HAPPIER HERE AND I TOLD THEM BOTH...THE LESS SAID THE BETTER AND TO WASH IT OUT OF THEIR MINDS WITH GOOD MEMORIES OF THEIR TRIP. I THINK TODAY IS CHINA TOWN AND LOTS OF MUSEUMS!
I AM GRILLING CHICKEN TO MAKE WITH SALAD FOR A LITE DINNER IF THEY ARE HUNGRY TONITE.
ALL IS WELL HERE BUT I WILL BE GLAD TO HAVE THE APT TO MYSELF FOR A FEW SHORT WEEKS AGAIN. :faint:
:WAVE: TO ALL OUR MISSING CHICKS AND OUR TRAVELING SHADDIE :wave:
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Happy - I'm so sorry to hear about the kitty. You and Eric are so good and such loving caregivers - caring for him for so long. Hopefully, he'll be okay.

CeeJay - sorry about your family's loss. And I'm sorry you're having more co-worker problems. :hug:

Mel - A visitor from Australia? I thought Shad was going to Jakarta - i didn't know she was coming to see you!! :rofl:

Talk to you tomorrow ladies!

:grouphug:

Oh not not me Michelle, I only go over once in a couple of years to beat you lot about the heads and tell you what is what.

This connection is not good so I'm only going to be here for a short while. I've already lost it once this morning.

Ceejay, so sorry to hear of the death of your cousins daughters passing. My thoughts are with you.

Happy - poor Mr Feral. So sad when the end comes and it is not a happy one for these poor creatures. You are a good person to have looked after him for so long. He may return, but as you say, there is little that can be done apart from ringing the ASPCA if he does turn up again and getting them to take him away. Better than the other fate.

Gotta go, before I lose it again. Back home tonight - tell you all about it then. Back to the TNA

MICHELLE~ SHAD WALSK SOFTLY BUT ALWAYS CARRIES A BIG OL' WHOPPING STICK :rollpin: SO WATCH OUT ON HER NEXT TRIP OVER HERE...I'LL GIVE YOU LOTS OF WARNING :lol3: :lol3:
IT IS MY FRIEND MARIE FROM RYDALMERE. SHE USED TO BE MY UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR MANY YEARS AGO AND WE HAVE NEVER LOST TOUCH.

SHAD~ TOO BAD ABOUT THE CONNECTION. I AM THINKING DO YOU HAVE A SPARE MO THIS WEEKEND?

:cofdate: I HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN EARLY MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT. THE KIDS BOUGHT ME A MONTH OF NS FOOD, THE BOOK AND A GIFT CARD FOR THE SUPERMARKET FOR MY FRESH FOODS. WE WON'T BE SHARING COOKING CHORES FOR AWHILE IF THEY STAY WHERE THEY ARE, SO THE TWO OF THEM CAME UP WITH THIS PLAN. :hun: I AM READY FOR A NEW MONTH! EVERYTHING IS ON IT'S WAY VIA UPS PARCEL SERVICE. I AM KIND OF EXCITED. THE DR HAD SAID I COULD RETRY THAT PROGRAM BUT THE NEW AMERICAN VERSION NOT INTERNATIONAL. I'M GOING TO THE STORE IN THE MORNING TO GET A FEW WW DINNERS TO TIDE ME OVER AND THE KIDS TOOK THE FREEZER STUFF WHEN THEY LEFT. THIS MOM WILL BE A LADY OF LEISURE FOR A MONTH. :beach: THE OTHER KIDS ARE EATING IN NYC SO I AM OFF TO PEDAL AND SHOWER :moped:

Mel - home tonight, any time over the weekend is good. Earlier the better since I will be immersed in paint pots most of the weekend.

Mel
That was a terrific gift. You can take it a little easier now.

Happy
I am so sorry. Sounds like you have done the best you can to take care of this poor cat.

Annie
Slugs could pass the man lol.

Thanks very much for the good thoughts everyone :hug:

Ceejay - my condolences to you and the family in regards to your cousin's daughter. Thoughts and prayers out to you :hug:

Wowser Bowser...

Indiana had an earthquake this morning at 5:38 am. Was lying in bed procrastinating getting up when the bed started shaking, windows rattled and the dog freaked out. 5.4 on the richter scale. Pretty Cool. Hella Bella got right up in my face and was trying to snuggle. Not good when I am supposed to be getting out of bed. That is the Friday excitement!

75 Sunny most of the day with rain moving in late this afternoon. Hopefully I can get some walking in at lunch. Rain tomorrow then 70 and sunny on Sunday. I am lovin' it.

Went to dinner and bowling with DD last night and her work group. Bowled 5 games. Shuwee shoulder is a bit achy this morning, not bad, and it is a good kind of hurt. haha. The best game I bowled was a 131. Yeah, I kind of suck at it but it was fun, no less.

Got to get busy at this job, before they catch on. ;^)

Have a super day everyone!

Love and Hugs

MOrning ladies! Felling kinda yucky here...I think MS has finally set in all the way. Yesterday was pretty rough too, Ran around in the morning taking care of DD2 K registration. I ran out of the house with out eating, and forgot my water too, and I paid for it...then in the afternoon I had to take my mom to the ER. Her doc wanted to make sure she didn't have a blood clot...and thankfully it was just a small inflamation on the lung. She is home resting, and I am trying to catch up from 5hrs in the ER. So today will have to be better than yesterday. Will try to post indies later, my head is swimming right now... and so is my tummy. LOL

Later Chicks!

upswife
Darn girl you know better than to not eat and not take anything with you. I bet you do feel yucky. I know you are busy but please take a little time to relax and get something to eat so you feel better. Glad things were ok with your mom.

annie
I guess that earthquake was better than waking up to find the toilet has over flowed all over a new wood floor lol or that it rained and someone left a window open and now the new sofa is wet lol. 131 that is great. I think ( many many many years ago when I let a friend talk me into doing a league with him ) my average was 121. They loved me I was a great point getter for them lol. No I do not bowl. I don't do anything that might chip my nails lol.

Cee
I am so sorry for your family's loss.

Happy Friday Ladies -

I was off today because I have much cleaning to do in preparation for my MIL who arrives on Wednesday. I also have spring cleaning to finish up. I got the guest room all done, went through my closet and found clothes that are too small and put them in plastic totes to store in the basement for when I get down to that size. I also washed some windows. I'll be leaving soon for my doctor appt to learn my blood test results. I'll check back in later with the results. I had a :goodscale: today. According to my scale at home, I have now lost 27 lbs so far, so I met my goal of being down at least 25 lbs by the time I saw the doc.

We're planning on getting our fishing boat out of winter storage this weekend. DH will have to do some basic spring maintenance and then we should be good to get out on the lakes.

Shad - Thanks for letting me know what to expect the next time you pay the States a visit.

Mel - That's wonderful that your kids bought you a month of NS food, plus the book and a grocery store gift card! What a thoughtful and healthy gift!

Annie - Indiana had an earthquake too? Central Illinois had an earthquake at around 2:30 this morning that we felt! And we live north of milwaukee. The news said it was felt from Des Moines to St. Louis, etc. It was a 5.4, which is big for this area but since I lived in California so long, 5.4 isn't too bad. It's been sunny and warm today, though supposedly the rain is coming. As long as Monday is sunny so that I can keep the dogs outside while I scrub the floors. Wow, Annie, you bowled 5 games! YGG! My shoulder and back can usually do 3, but that's my limit. And you bowled a 131? You don't suck! That's pretty darn good (compared to me anyway) Congratulations. I have about a 115 to 120 average and used to bowl in a league to give my team a better handicap. :lol:

Ellen - Sorry you're having a rough bout with the morning sickness. You took your mom to the ER? Yikes, how scary! I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious.

CeeJay, Rennie, Happy, Painter, Patty, Ruth, Shaker, Carla and everyone - Hope you're having a great Friday and have fun and/or relaxing plans for the weekend.

Big hugs,

di
Yes, please let us know how the results come out. If it doesn't rain we are going to wash windows. The one real big job I have left to do lol. If it does rain we are going to clean the solarium which is where George ( lop eared bunny ) lives. Takes forever to clean the Windows 5 sets of sliding doors. One on each end and three down the front. Then scrub the carpet and get the furniture and George put back. Glad he is litter box trained and I thought to put down vinyl table clothes in the end where he lives. Makes it all so much easier to clean.

Morning all,

Yikes, a 5.4 earthquake. Don't get them here in Australia - well at least not often. A 5.4 on the scale would have them thinking the end of the earth is nigh. You get them in NZ, big ones - 5.4 would hardly make comment. I well remember we used to have a cockatiel who would sense them coming and make screeching noises and beat himself up against the sides of his cage. There was always blood and feathers to clean up after the event. I've learned to live with them, I don't have to like them. Seems to me that we always get a disasterous one sometime soon after some idiotic country does 'nuclear testing'. I wonder whether the theory still holds water and some one is not telling us that they are testing.

Uneventful flight home last night. Dreadful meal - I do hate pasta dishes after they have been frozen and reheated and I just drunk water because the thought of coffee out of a waxed paper cup didn't do a lot for the senses and the stewie berating me for not eating my chocolate - but I don't like chocolate - nonsense everyone likes chocolate - just goes to prove I am not everyone then doesn't it - are you sure you don't want it?- no take it home and give it to your kids - don't have kids, I will eat it for my supper. If you don't like chocolate, what do you like? Cheese - and thank goodness you didn't give me any - there was some on the pasta - well it wasn't worthy of the name. The conversation went on and on. Nobody seems to understand when I say that unless I am on a binge, I don't eat chocolate. I am apparently a weirdo!!!

My arms feel like a pincushion. Five vaccinations at the Melbourne clinic - I had to have typhoid, tetanus, polio, hep A and hep B and I need to go back to my own doc this coming week for a second Hep A and then 3 weeks later for the third and final. I'm given an emergency first aid kit full of tablets and needles so I had to stow the bag in the hold instead of just having cabin baggage last night. I was dead scared all the way up that the company computer and the druggie kit would get nicked but it seems to be all there in the cursory glance I gave it last night.

Don't know much about bowling, but anyone who can get a score has my vote. Last and only time I tried it, I ended up throwing myself down the alleyway.

Michelle - be interesting to hear what the doc says. Hope it all goes well. Don't let Mel put you off my coming to the States. I have spent years trying to get her laid back and content, but she does the American thing every so often STILL and I have to get out the cattle prod and bring her back to life so to speak. I'm really not all that bad.

Okay - better go get on with the day. DS2 has a bad dose of flu, and Dr said his lung capacity is down. Traces of the old bronchitis there by the sound of things. I still put it down to that rotten job he has and doesn't seem to be able to get rid of or even really want to possibly. It may well kill him off. And that will not be a good thing!

Body balance class calls. I am so not ready for it this morning.

Hello Ladies,

Lots going on. I have started back at my morning workouts and boy it's hard to get up at 4:30am. Right now i'm doing 3 times a week but will increase soon to 4. Also working on my food. I haven't started journaling but I'm making an effort to NOT eat fast food.

Shad - Ouch, 5 shots in 1 day. Hope DS2 is doing better.

Mitchelle - WTG on your weight loss. That is great. Hope you get good news from the doc.

Melody - What a great gift.

:wave: to everyone
