I don't like that Kiwidd and bf broke up. I still miss lcp. But Kiwidd and bf were so involved in all those music shows and stuff ... how could it end? Remember when we called our kids things like Kiwiette? Now that they're adults, it won't do.

Cherry, I am impressed. How'd you do it? How did you decide what to keep? DS handed me a bunch of plastic trophies from his elementary and middle school years. Science fair and such. Asked if I wanted them. Well, I don't and I do.

This thread is so hard to find that it's depressing. I know there are ways to find it but why do we have to wiggle around instead of just going straight there? Is there another place to post like Cybermom? Really, I hate it.

It used to be that you could click on your weight change graph and it would take you to the place where it can be updated. Not now. I get ads and essays.

I'm afraid that's just the way it is, Cowpernia. Unfortunately we're not able to accommodate everyone in all ways. That would be a dream come true.

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww kiwidd and bf broke up!!! THAT MAKES ME SAAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!--- I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS AND I HATE IT!!!when dd24 and the Dane broke up i had trouble sleeping for days===you know it's the way things go,but it's the end of a mini-era and we mothers get attached to these sweet boys!!!----i just felt so bad for the Dane but of course i want my daughter to be happy---let's hope they find someone to stay married to---i think having a divorce would be even worse----my mother really liked my ex so that was hard by times---Dad----not so much---Dad's are usually less emotional. Rosie O'Donnell was in town yesterday with her gay cruise ship!!! Everyone loved her---i didn't see her but my aunt did---i have to go up to work now and let my poor girl go---i didn't give her a lunch break today!!!---see yasssssssssss hi cherry! hi all!

Dang, didn't I just post a message here? Where is it? I think I'm getting forgetful and not hitting the Submit button. Pitiful.

Yes, I am sad about DD and the bf too. You hit the nail right on the head. I also had trouble sleeping for several days -- it's hard to deal with because you of course have to be in your dd's corner and support her decision, but you like the boy so much and it feels like losing a member of the family. Life is too complicated for me. I feel sad for his family too, because they seemed to be all ready for the kids to get married.

I can't believe it but we only have one more day here at the beach, then we head to DC to spend the weekend with DD, assuming she isn't too busy for her mom and dad. I can't wait to stay at the Capitol Hilton. Ha! For the price of the Comfort Inn! Yeehaw! And just think of the shampoos!

Later kiddies.

Hey, what am I doing in this house when I should be enjoying my last day at the beach????

Yesterday was my stepdad's 92nd birthday. We had a lovely little party. Steak, asparagus, oven fries, some lovely hot fudge cake my sis whipped up. And then we (dh, my parents and I) played progressive rummy, one of his favorites.

Well, I should be in bed. Had a lovely last day at the beach, swam a bit, sat in the sun for a bit, enjoyed the fabulous open air showers, went to a seafood store and bought shrimp and scallops for dinner, rinsed the salt off the car and the beach chairs, squashed the air out of the float, had an incredible dinner, watched a video while niece(5) fell asleep in my lap, played cards with the parents again. Time to go!

Y'all have a great weekend, y'hear?

Kiwi

Yes, I'm subscribed. So this means we never start a new thread? Go ahead and fuss at me. I will throw pie at you.

Mmmm...pie.

The weather is lovely. I have a stomach ache. Wish yous were here.

can we keep this thread going forever???----i liked it when we were somewhere where you could change thread names,but really who cares???? i just had a bad dream and decided to check the computer before i went back to bed---i was in a summer camp and i went to the bathroom --- i heard a vacuum coming so i looked out of the stall and saw a man---i thought 'he is an old guy ,he won't bother me' --NEXT THING HE REACHED OVER THE STALL AND PULLED ME UP BY THE COLLAR---THEN HE CAME TO THE FRONT OF THE STALL---OPENED THE DOOR AND I WAS STRANDED ON THE FLUSH--HE WAS JUST ABOUT TO PUNCH ME IN THE FACE TO KNOCK ME OUT,when i shook myself awake---i was quite disturbed,so i got up so as not to return to the dream---i usually don't have creepy dreams like that----i remember thinking---he is going to knock me out and there is nothing i can do about it----grossssssssssssssss----so ,how was your weekend???? mine was okay but my dd22 was upset because someone told her that they thought her bf was 'gay'----like really gay--not just 'seeming to be' by his looks or whatever----she was crying to me and i felt really bad for her ,as the person is a good friend of the family and feels that she is looking out for dd etc----SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A MOTHER !!!!!---- for the record,he is very 'metro' but is that hard to read these days or what??????

The dream is creepy and the bf statement is creepy. Has that person seen him with a guy or what? What is their basis of their belief?

My new boss, the 20-something one, never makes eye contact, never says hello, good morning, how're you or anything. If I say it first, he says very shortly hi. Just like ds would. I expect more of a boss. He's really bugging me.

Have you ever been so tired that you were punchy and were saying things you shouldn't say? Things that didn't make sense or things you just should not say because you could get in trouble? I have. Recently. For example, a lot of the young women where I work have the same shapes and in their uniforms they look alike. Kind of short and wideish. I notice this when they stand around together as they tend to do. Yesterday, three of them were gathered and when two left, I said to other, "why were they all looking at you?" She asked what drug I was on as they were just talking and not looking at her and it made no sense but I guess, I was the one looking at her and them. So have you ever?

I say dumb things all the time when I'm tired. While we were in DC, I helped get us lost several times insisting I was right about where to go when I was really too hot and dog-tired to know my right from my left.

I am glad to be home where it is unseasonably cool. DC is unbearable if you have to be outside. Like living in a furnace. We had a very nice visit with DD though. She is doing great. It seems like she has grown up some more since we last saw her. I thought she was independent enough, but apparently she had more independenting to do. Perhaps it's just the difference of her not making "we" decisions any more In any case, the breakup was probably the best thing for her, much as I hate to say it.

Bagz, that woman is unfortunately meddling in a very destructive way. It's no better than suggesting to DD22 that her bf is cheating on her with no more evidence than that she saw him somewhere without DD. Very bad. "Help" like that nobody needs. Assure DD that she is talking out of her a**!!! (Believe me, I've been there -- one of my exes was "metro" before there was such a word, and I've heard "is he gay?" more than once)

Speaking of exes, is yours in Africa? I went to your facebook page and saw that blurb. What's that about?

Facebook is weird, isn't it? I always feel like I went to visit someone and looked through the windows instead of knocking on the door.

I don't know about keeping this thread forever. I'm going to get sick of the title one of these days. What kind of pie are you going to throw at me, Peach? I like apple, but chocolate cream sticks better.

We could come up with a permanent name if ya want.

Gotta go get my sweetie doggie. I miss her.

I wonder how much weight I gained while I was gone I don't want to weigh myself. Maybe I loosed some! I can dream.

key lime. I don't like it and won't miss it.

I like this title but we don't post as much. I was just thinking that Cherry comes in and speaks and you answer her and there's silence. No conversation. Maybe we should all talk on facebook or something else. I don't know. This is just user-unfriendly feeling.

What is about dd that makes her seem grownupish? Less giggly? Not that I know she was giggly. More filled out? More focused on a career? DS seems more grownupy a little but no so much. I don't even feel grownup. Watching Penelope right now and eating Jordan almonds.

Well, she used to be giggly, but that seems to have passed a while back. Definitely not more filled out -- thin as a rail as usual. I'd say more self-assured maybe.

I don't really like Jordan almonds, so don't throw those at me, but I'll take the key lime pie.

Got my pupppydog. She's pretty glad to see me. Actually, she won't leave me alone.

I have to do something with a boneless pork roast for dinner, but DH doesn't want to do it on the outdoor fireplace (don't think it would work anyway, take too long) and I don't want to turn on the oven. Got any recipes for raw pork? Haha Just kidding.

I am whiny. I joined this knitting swap thing where 12 women knit afghan squares and send them to one another on a schedule. They alternate plain, multi-colored and you end up with 12. I sent out the first, time passed and I haven't received one. My first sender posted that her dh didn't want her to knit while the kids are awake but now she says she's doing the second square first then catching up on the first while doing the third at the same time. I have been overlooked and feel like dumping the whole group. Hard to stay enthusiastic if it's not a give-and-get thing.
