Speaking of cherry I was just given two huge overstuffed chairs and otterman, ottoman, something. They are dark green, blue, red plaid and SOOOOO comfy. Big enough for two people if one of them isn't a cow.

shouldn't a newspaper reporter know how to spell living room furniture items?? i'm not sure,but i was just asking on acounta i'm so dummmmmmmmmb.

As with all things, I await Kiwi to spell furniture items.

I have found a puppy for Kiwi too. Awwww how cute

Ottoman, like the empire

Here I am.
Nice poozy weekend. Caught up on sleep yesterday, rented movies. "Frida" was amazing and inspiring. Today DH and I stopped procrastinating and sorted financial data to see where our money's been going. I haven't been earning what I'd like, but now at least we both know what's coming in and where it went. Agreed that we'd curtail eating out before we curtailed buying books or updating computer equipment.

I have this tendency when I take charge of my life to fix it all. Simultaneously. Food. Fitness. Finances. Organization. Business. Gotta remember to go slow. Not my strong point.

Kiwi-- Poor Baby. Too much yard sale and not enough $$$ No fun. That happened to me when I moved in with DH to be... fortunately I found a church-guy to take all the left overs. I got a tax write-off and he got wierd clothes to give his congregation. I hope they were as happy as I was.

Cowper -- Re legal charges against day-care teen: They must have social workers, therapists and even lie detectors in FLA. If the case is as you say it's horrible. Any clues you can give us to keep up to date on Google?

I USED to be a librarian. NOW I'm a family therapist. My first job out was as family therapist for juvenile sex offenders.... (Good thing my mom had already died by then, because that would have killed her.) The law here says that if there's more than a 4 year difference between sex partners, it's abuse, unless both people are of age to give consent (18). Lucky thing for Demi Moore that what's his name is of age.

Had a nasty shock this evening. DH agreed to take before measurements. WHEN DID MY HIPS GET TO BE 60 inches. I am coming out of denial about being "just a little Rubenesque." My thighs measure what I'd like my waist to be.

[COLOR=blue] i was going to try typing standing up.....but it hurt before i started.
kiwi, i always feel guilty for throwing out or good willing when everyone says i could make tonzo bucks at a yard sale. what an awful weekend.....inlaws and sun. a lethal combination.
peachez, it is sad that boys who care for small children are putting theit whole future at risk. paint, i wish i had your confidece in social workers and lie detectors.
paint, we think being a librarian sounds like a pleasant job. better than being a treacher.
sugar, wait till dh goes to work then throw his stuff out.
here is my problem.....i have nice antique family heirloom furniture that i want to store in the attic. is this possible without ruining it? i don't want to sell it, i just don't want to use it.
it is finally going to be nice today. the kids are all having company and i guess i'm sitting by the pool all day.
even with all the company, i will have fewer kids than bagz hahahahahahahaha
wabby you need a laptop for home. we would all feel much better if we didn't have the sense that you're out there living a real life when you aren't with us.
l

watercolors. irregularly!
What if the FLA teen was being appropriate? helping the toddler get wiped and dry? I don't have any problem with that... it'd be worse for the toddler if he/she wanted to be clean and comfy and couldn't get any help. Must be hard to be in that community. So much doubt and suspicion.

Anybody seen Capturing the Friedmans? I haven't yet.

they just arrested a man in Toronto for the murder and dismemberment of a ten year old girl {about six weeks ago} a horrifying case------while looking for the murderer,it was revealed that there were TWO HUNDRED know sex offenders in the urban neighbourhood surrounding the girl's home------urban/residential area.The man charged with the murder is a 35 year old single man who has a good job with an international software company------------the parents in the neighbourhood are still in shock that they are virtually surrounded by known to police perverts-------------how do we solve that one???? i say castration works for me.

i agree with castration.
in fact, WE agree with castration. i believe that since i am right, wabby and sugar will agree.
paint, i'm not being ignorant. i use all lower case because i hurt my rt arm,hand,wrist, or/and shoulder and can't type with that hand. one handed typing is unbearable enough without the pressure of the shift key. that is why no one is rude to my face about it.
did you know dd and i are meeting my cousin and her kids in nyc to see 'the lion king' (she and peaches don't speak due to a sorded incedent between sissy and our cousin' 8th grade boyfriend)
sissy, the clerk in winn dixie wasn't ******ed, we haven't been using that sort of derisive term since 1968......when you were 30 and i was in my teens.
in nj, we have megan's law which requires sex offenders to register. they now have the problem that they cant release people from jail because they can't find a safe place for them. breajks my heart.
gotta go

I am very glad that Kiwi is fine. Lushcooter can hi to Cousin It for me if she so chooses. You not that young, by the way, it just seemed you were. Still does.

No need to worry about that, Lush. Unless you consider cleaning house, doing laundry, getting my nails done and watching videos living life to the fullest.

I have a hard time worrying about being humane to sexual predators. I think a condition of parole should be drug therapy to control their urges. Chemical castration.

Hey Kiwi, welcome to my life. The reason I go to the Dr. so much is that I went for a check up about 5 years ago and it started the snowball effect. I've never heard of Relpax for migraines. I love my Zomig. It's the only thing I've ever taken that didn't make me feel strange and gets rid of the migraine almost every time. Exedrin Migraine is just ibuprofen with caffeine added. I don't want to be that wide awake for my migraines.

I love to go to garage sales. I hate to have them. Besides, my junk really is junk. Nobody would want it. DH, who is the world's messiest, was telling me that he never gave me a bad time for leaving stuff around. Like when I didn't wind up the hose. Ha! this from the man who has no idea how to put a dish in the dishwasher or pick up his socks off the floor. I seem to have started to ramble. Now what was the subject???

I've been cooking such healthy stuff. Yesterday I made grilled chicken breasts on the bbq and steamed asparagus. DH took his chicken, put it on a bun w/ a ton of mayo, drizzled olive oil on his asparagus then grilled it, then put butter on it. And he wonders why he keeps gaining when he's eating the same stuff I do. Which reminds me - I'm so sick of this, I just can't even begin to tell you. I really want something gooey with lots of cheese or cream sauce. Then I think of how holier than DH I feel and I get ahold of myself.
