Silly Peaches, Canada Day is the Canadian Fourth of July! The one in October is the Canadian Thanksgiving. Have I offended enough people yet?
Always charmed,my dear, never offended. Who can keep all these holidays straight anyway? And speaking of straight - how come they have to have cruises for gay people? Can't they just go on any cruise they like?? I think Rosie buying up all Bagzz earrings and mentioning her business on the show would go a long way towards promoting international relations. Or something.
Happy Canada Day from the fatty Canuck! It's about a thousand degrees here and I'm melting.
We leave a week Thursday!!!! Should I start packing? Laundry room is knee-deep with clean and dirty laundry. ds15 got back from Austria in one piece. It was...interesting, he said.
i couldn't find us again==i had us in the user cp like kiki said and it disappeared==this is getting REALLY annoying0---kiiiiiiiii wiiiiiiiiiii can't you makd them give us a group -------COWs or something----i hate not just bookmarking us----it took me five minutes to find this and i had to do it by searching my name
I agree, this is very difficult to find if no one has posted recently. If we get lost again, look waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list on Support Group threads. But I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve too. First of all, are you subscribed to the Forum, as well as the thread? If not, you should, it will give you a quick way to get back to the Support Groups page. I think this will take you there.
The other thing you can do, if our thread has disappeared from your UserCP is click on "View all subscribed threads" and voila! we are there.

That's informative, eh? Well, I'm glad he got home without mishap.
I'm heading out in the morning for adventures in camping with the dog. DH has been visiting our RV friends all week, and they are having a party tomorrow, plus hopefully some nice fireworks to watch, so I'll want to stay overnight. They have other guests coming, so we are setting up in a tent. And I'm bringing Jet and her own "tent" (crate). I hope she doesn't freak out.
I have to go make pasta salad. I've been putting it off all day. The only pasta I have on hand, other than spaghetti, is penne. Do you think it will be gross?
Happy 4th of July!!!!!Sorry I've been away so long, I've been busy w/ the baby......... and sorry I didn't get the picture sent to you, Peach. I don't know what happened. I sent it to my "cowsies" list and you're on the list.... maybe the mailman delivered it to the wrong address.
I've also been busy getting over the shock of the developer buying my place pulling out of the deal due to the economy and slowing home sales. They paid me the earnest money, but that will only support me for a year. I need to make a living!!!! Arrrghhhh! I'm formulating a plan, I'm just not sure if it's a good plan, but when I'm ready, I'll spring it on you.
Kiwi, I'm sorry to hear that Jet is having problems again. My golden retriever, Lucas, is very sick. I took him back to the vet, and they gave him a steriod injection for the allergies, but the vet seems to think he has multiple things going on and at this point we're just trying to make him comfortable. He's begun to drag one hind leg and has lost bladder control a couple times. It breaks my heart to see him like this, but he still wags his tail and enjoys being petted. I know dogs don't live forever, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier.
Peach, yes, Brody does look like his Grandpa. That's no coincidence, since his Daddy also looks like Grandpa. I'm going to be babysitting him on Thursdays as soon as his mommy goes back to work. He's absolutely beautiful, and Kaydy is so cute with him. She doesn't call him Brody, she calls him "Brother". So far he doesn't do too much so he's not as interesting as her almost step brother, Alek, who's six. (Alek is DS's gf's little boy from a previous marriage.) Does it all make sense?
Yesterday it was one year since DH's burial. It still feels like someone opened up my chest and scooped out my heart. I look at these Grandbabies and wonder how life can be so wonderful and so hard at the same time. Thank you cowsies, for being here for me.
Happy 4th to you all too! I'm supposed to be on the road. Oh well, I'm already too late to go sailing with the bunch, so I might as well take my time. (don't feel bad for me, I didn't make an effort to get there for sailing)
Sorry to hear about your golden, Wab. It's really hard to see that, I know. My last dog Molly was a bundle of medical problems as she got older. But she was always happy to go outside, so I couldn't give up on her. Jet is back to normal; I'll just have to keep her meds at the same level for now. She's very excited to come with me today -- she hasn't left my side since I got up and started doing "pack-y" things. Until I sat down at the computer, that is, then she went and laid down. Smart dog.
That's too bad about the developer; at least you got something out of him. Maybe things will pick next year. And you'll up the price when they come back! (I can dream, no?)
Later gators Enjoy Independence Day! Maybe next year we will actually have a little more independence to celebrate! We aren't supposed to talk about politics! Tata!
So it's the 5th now and storming. I met with a group of knitters that I found online this morning. We went to Panera's where I found hot chocolate and bagels. Got bored with the knitting and left. Was nice to be with people. Then I drove to Pencilcola to see DS and use the camera. We saw that movie about the robot. Forget the name. Cute.
That's all I have to say. I don't understand about the developer. You get to keep the house and the earnest money? Confused.

You met with people you'd known since this morning?!? I'm shocked!!! Or am I reading that sentence with my new copy editor's eyes?

That is lovely! I will drive for 12+ hours on Friday and maybe see DD. But the weekend after, we will definitely see her. We are going to spend that weekend in DC. I got Name Your Own Price hotel from Priceline -- did way better than I thought I could: got a 4star hotel for $89/night. Cool huh?

Sure -- it was the developer who wanted to buy the property (hence the earnest money) and the developer who backed out of the deal -- so they don't get back the money they paid to hold the property. Right, Wab?
Did you know that you are not supposed to put 2 spaces after the end of a sentence any more? Apparently I learned to type in the dark ages. I'm not sure I can change.
Man, I'm starving. I had potluck supper at a campground 5 hours ago before I drove home. It would have been better if the baby in line in front of me (well, he was riding on his mother's shoulder) hadn't spit up all over the floor about 5 feet from the buffet table. On the bright side, the dog did well on her first camping trip. She slept outside in her soft sided crate without incident, at least without incident after she rolled it over on its side because I had set it not quite level DH and I slept in a giant dome tent on an air mattress, which was quite comfortable, but it was very cold! I kept pulling on more clothes and more covers. Crazy weather--it was about 85 this afternoon.
I'm watching Georgia Rules. Lindsay Lohan is annoying. But then, she is supposed to be.
There was a bat in the house earlier which DH killed, and I dread going up to bed. I'd sleep on the couch, but they could just as easily show up here in the living room. Although they are more likely to fly around upstairs. I was hoping somehow this wouldn't happen this summer. ha.
It is so annoying to have to searrrrcchhhh for this thread and then what do I find? space space I find Kiwi making fun of me. space space Why doesn't she devote her energies to inventing a place that's easier to find? space space I am engaged to this thread or forum or whatever but it's still a pain in the patootie. space space
A few weeks ago, my a/c quit working so I turned it off and on and off and on and it worked agian. Yesterday, it stopped again. I can tell because I come home and the house is 87 degrees. Turning it off and on didn't help so I called the a/c guy for Dogpatch who said it probably has a lead and thought $200 should do it. But it's working again. I don't know what to do and I know YOU GUYS (staring at Bagz) who know about electricity won't reply before he calls tomrorrow morning to say he's coming.
I just saw the final episode of Monarch of the Glen. Fabuloso.
Just found this headline on Yahoo. Make fun of this: Panda moved after China quake gives birth to twins.
Hellllloooooo! Hellllloooooo! Helllllooooo! It echoes in here!
The a/c came, fixed and charged me only $70. I feel like I've been given money. I suspect they do that on purpose, say something higher than it probably will be, but it's ok.
Kiwi, I think you should put mosquito/bat webbing around your bed.

Reason: had to tell Kiwi what to do
I found pictures of the movie that was being filmed on the Santa Monica Pier when DD and I were. It sure enough was Cameron Diaz bald. Although she was wearing a bald wig.http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/cele...utiful-204538/
Have a wonderful trip, Sug! Hope to see you hailing from Canada!
Here 's the piggy bank. Maybe I'll just give him some permanent markers and robot decals along with it. I'm lame.
It is too too hot here. Almost 20 degrees hotter than in NC today. Although it's 70 in both places right now. But 70 is too hot at night. Night is when the house is supposed to cool down. I hate being sweaty when I sleep.
I went swimming at the town pool today. It was lovely -- adult swim hour (which only happens twice a week). They have a brand new L-shaped pool that's huge, nice facilities, diving board, kiddie end with fountains and water curtain, 2 slides. Can't believe they spent the money on this when the town is going broke, but I'm going to take advantage of it while I can (I figure someone will stub their toe on the diving board and everything will be closed down for "security" reasons).
That's informative, eh?
