Ageless cows
 
A cow never tells her age. If I were telling I guess I'd be around 40 - the second youngest cow in the pasture. Cherry will always be our baby.

Spending the day decluttering and hating every minute but I know I will feel soooooo good when it's done, RIGHT?

Going to the neighbours for dinner tonight. They've been looking after the 2 1/2 yr. old twin granddaughters for 3 days so they'll be pretty happy for some adult company.

Hi PainterWoman - glad you came back!

Cowpernia 06-20-2003 08:22 AM

I'm glad to see Painterwoman back as well. Since she'll only post every day or two she probably won't see this question which I mean in all due respect. Is it unusual for former librarians to use the word "your" when "you're" is meant? Just wondering. Everybody makes mistakes like me .. I do .. but we expect librarians, teachers, and preachers to be so perfect.

Who is going to call and wake me up at 3 a.m. so I can get ds to the airport on time?

PainterWoman 06-20-2003 11:51 AM

Bovine Maturity
 
Sorry about the grammatical slip, Cowpernia... I could make up a bunch of excuses... but somebody was ranting about taking responsibility, so I'll just own up!

I finally figured out how to use the CP page to get to this pasture, so perhaps I'll be back more often.

I'm 52 and feel about 28 most of the time... that was before kids, while I was at the best job I ever had, and before my 1st husband threw me a curve ball. Actually... feeling 52 is fine because I have all this new wisdom.. It's time now to face the pain in order to shed the fat that came from using food to comfort myself.

There's a new thread idea... comforting oneself without carbs.

Wabby 06-20-2003 12:15 PM

Mental age vs. physical age. Hmm. Mental age would be about 18. In the mirror age - holy cow! do ya really think I'd tell????? Geez. Besides, everybody knows parts of me are younger than others. My tummy is only 2 years old, my boobs will soon be brand new. My face is ancient, but I can always start working on that next year. :lol:

One of the guys here at work has a solo flex home gym that he will sell to me for $100. If I can figure out a place to put it, I'm going to buy it. I need something to hang my clothes on. The treadmill is full.

Lush 06-20-2003 05:10 PM

Wabby, are you ever going back to Bulges?????I feel so alone. That price is good, you couldn't get a clothes rack cheaper.

Paint, PLEASE don't mind Sissy (Cowpernia).... if anything, it should make you feel compassion for me...her MUCH younger sister. She doesn't get out much. At 52 you must know how it is to be dark and menopausal; not that your(that was a sympathy your) dark and menopausal. You are probably bright and fertile.

As you see, we don't have cohesive threads that challenge us to all contribute on the same subject. Mostly, we all come here and drone on and on about ourselves; pretty much ignoring what the last person has said.

I'll be back...have to take DS to guitar. This always makes me glad I don't live in Maine. It only takes me 10 minutes to get there.

Wabby 06-20-2003 05:34 PM

Lush, I don't think I will go back to bulges. I think I may be an antisocial exerciser. I just wasn't getting good vibes there. I'm sure that if I went to a New Jersey Curves things would be different. These are all just a bunch of excuses. I'm really just lazy.

I'm sure Peaches pickiness about spelling and grammer won't keep Painterwoman away. That's part of her charm.

Did I miss where the Peachboy was going on an airplane? You let him fly when you won't even let him out on the interstate?????

I've got to go - I just realized the sunroof is open on my car and we're having a torrential downpour. EEEEEEKKKKK!!!! - and I'm back. I dried things out as good as I could.

DH is sick with a cold. It's going to be a long weekend. He's such a :bb:when he's sick. Feel sorry for me. I do.

All you lovely bovines have a good weekend!

Cowpernia 06-20-2003 06:27 PM

Drone on and on??? Is this self-loathing your expressing?

Miss Sun Roof I certainly hope your didn't get yourself all damp getting out to the car. Who sez I don't have compassion.

I got a call on the answering machine from the landlady who says she has a buyer and he wants the house Aug. 1 so they NEED me to move out one week before that.

The date I told them was Aug. 10 closing. So I called the builder who said maybe then I called the landlady back. This buyer hasn't even been INSIDE the house. He came to the door. He was nice. Maybe not smart though.


I have a religious story now. Kiwi may logoff. This woman came into the office today to get her new business in the paper. She was quite hyper. We all gathered around her ... she was interesting ... and she told of being attacked and left for dead a few years ago. This all happened on the side of the road. She died during that attack and found herself in heaven where a young woman greeted her and identified herself as her child lost in a miscarriage. The young woman told her to look down and she saw her other daughter crying. Told her to go back.

Back on earth she saw this man about to hit her another time, then saw Jesus hold his arms toward the man, emit fire from his hands toward the man, saw the man drop the weapon and saw burn marks on his hands.

She was in a coma for a long time. Because she believes she knew was responsible for this attack, she moved away. There was more to the story but honestly, I wouldn't want to make her identifiable to anyone. Quite a story with this and beyond.


I cannot find anyone willing to call me at 3 a.m. so I can be sure to get to the airport on time. DS is going to visit his dad in Pennsylvania. I don't want to say your getting forgetful but I want to use the word your so I can be sympathetic with sissy (who always had to have the first turn in every game and then quit.)

Wabby 06-20-2003 06:48 PM

OK. Now I have a story. My husband honestly believes that when he was in the 6th grade he saw a space ship almost land in the field next to his house. He doesn't talk about it to most ppl because they all roll their eyes when he does (including me).

I told you I was a heathen. :lol:

Maybe she was dreaming when she was unconscious. Maybe she had a vision. There are things we aren't meant to understand.

I'm so happy that your!!! compassionate about my wet car. My car is now dry, but I'm soaked.

What are you going to do while your DS is away?

Tell the landlady that you will move when you are good and ready. Because that is what you need.

Lush 06-20-2003 06:56 PM

Honestly, Wabby, I'd rather have mange than have DH have a cold. Talk about someone who drones on and on.

My Bulges is pretty nice...but no one but the HS girls are getting any results. They all look cute and adorable, we parents look like bovines. My dd is going but is seeing a new orthopedic dr in two weeks who will slap her back into physical therapy for her knee which refuses to heal. Then I will be going alone and will not have a successful Curveser to justify my existence there.

You know the youngest person always goes first in Candyland. I never quit, you always snuck away the first chance you got to be with Abner, your thug boyfriend.

I think your story is amazing, Sissy. Was the daughter in human form or was she spirity? If the woman knew who did it, why couldn't she get them prosecuted? This didn't happen in Dogpatch, did it?

[C]**** WEATHER WHINE ALERT****[/C]
My boys are supposed to go on a big dirtbiking trip this weekend, and it is STILL raining. I do not live in a soggy place like Wabby, I do not deserve this.
[C]***END WEATHER WHINE ALERT***[/C]

That's all. BTW...I can't stay up past 10 anymore, let alone 3. My kids want to go to a Harry Potter party tonight, but I can't stay up that late. I'm such an old hag. Imagine how Sissy feels, she's older than I. I doubt that she'll be able to get the nephew up unless she has a hotflash wake her in the middle of the night.

Lush 06-20-2003 07:01 PM

I'm sorry I wasn't compassionate about your car, Wabby. I was too busy with my own drone.

Wabby 06-20-2003 07:09 PM

That's ok, Lush, I really was just bragging about the fact that we had enough sun here to actually have the sunroof open. This month has been sunny and warm. I think this is the first rain in several weeks. na-na-na-nah.:rain:

Hey! I want you cows to be nice to Painty. She's a mental health therapist. Some of us around her could use some advice along those lines. :dizzy:

Lush 06-20-2003 08:29 PM

You're telling me.
I'm so bored. My house is clean. The dinner no one ate is cooked. I've spoken to everyone I know on the phone. I'm here. What else do I have to do? My kids are out. My husband is working on his bike, I have NOTHING to do. NOTHING. I wish I ate sugar. I'm not hungry, but if I eat sugar it turns off the "not hungry" signal and I can eat all night, even if I am full.
I haven't had free time in so many years that I don't know what to do with it. Did I ever have a hobby? I think it may have been drinking.
Wabby, it is cruel to rub in the weather thing. It has rained for ages here. The farmers have decided to skip planting because we've had so much rain that the plants are rotting in the fields.
Maybe I'll find a Bridge game on the internet. bye

Cowpernia 06-20-2003 09:41 PM

[list=1][*]Lush needs a new name[*]Painty is a librarian not a mental health expert[*]Although that would explain her interest in Lush's drones[*]He was prosecuted[*]Everyone prosecuted ain't convicted[*]The thing that I don't like is that if he finishes a week ahead of time that leaves me to move the weekend that I must drive to Pencilcoler to retrieve ds when he returns from his next adventure.[*]Why isn't Kiwi posting? She will side with me.[*]I suppose I forgot to ask if the dd was human or spirity. Next time I hear a story like this I will certainly inquire.[/list=1]

Cowpernia 06-21-2003 06:42 AM

I am so strezzessed. This is why, Lushbat, we post what we want to talk about and ignore each other. We are such good listeners. If I wanted advice, I'd go call a man.

The plane left (I hope) at 5 a.m. I got up at 3 a.m., told ds to get something to eat while I took a shower. Out of the shower, he's casually chewing. I dress. He's still chewing. I use the word "hurry" about 50 times but he d
oesn't. He seems annoyed. We finally drive away in the pitch dark and I comment that I dont' know what I'll do if he misses the plane.

We get there with plenty of t
ime. Twenty minutes. The woman with the pretty streaks in her hair tells ds that he is seven minutes late for checkin and he cannot take his bag. At all. Never. He could have brought a carryon but noooooooo he had to put all his stuff in this huge bag.

Luckily, he has a brilliant mom who forces him to pack by rolling up each tee-shirt individually with sox and undies inside and he did have a teensy backpack to carry his book in so we shoved as many teeshirts inside as possible and tha
t was that. He can do laundry during the week.

Normally, I wait in the airport til the plane leaves but I was too nervous.

The weekend that the landlady would like me to move is the weekend ds comes back from North Carolina. How is that going to work out? Wake up and answer me.

Cowpernia 06-21-2003 12:56 PM

I see that this is now the unofficial "Peaches Tells All" web site. I must get ready to move.
I am now going into the pantry to put everything in there in
  • the garbage
  • in a box for GoodWill
  • in a box moving

DS called. I asked to speak to his dad (about the learners' permit of course) and got fussed at for not sending a suitcase. Snarl

Lush 06-21-2003 04:26 PM

i could have warned you about the unreasonableness of airport personnel, but i was too busy obsessing about the weather. if the nephew is safely in
pA, you have done your job and now his father can worry about whether he has something to wear.
do you have the option of saying no to the landlady?????
my current book on tape is the new harry potter. so far so good.
is paint really a librarian? i thought she was a therapist. i did check out her journal, i meant to write her a note, but got sidetracked, as usual.

paint, i lo-carb. but i haven't been too faithful. i was in the 150's ignoring drifts into the 160's when we started. now i', 170's ignoring drifts into the 180's. starting monday i'm going to apply myself since i'm off for the summer. i can't carry weight well. my sil who looks much more up and down than i, weighs the same as me.
i'm going to go do housework. my house is under control again. i'd like it to stay that way. do we know where kiwi is? d0 we have a reasonable explanayion as to why sugar and bagx have been so scarce?
it is too tedious to type onehanded. bye

Cowpernia 06-21-2003 04:47 PM

Kiwi is yardshopping. Bagz is drunk. Sugar is at the inlaws house eating goose.

Yes, I see no reason why ds can't just wear his dad's clothes. Shoes might be too small but otherwise, clothes is clothes.

I think I can say no if I have to. It would be so wonderful to get moved while ds is away and not have to hear what he has to say.

The pantry is about half empty now. Why can't I ever complete anything?

How is the weather? Remember my teensy baby is up there. Fix that weather!!

Lush 06-21-2003 08:00 PM

i am here because blood is thicker than water

Kiwonk 06-21-2003 09:07 PM

I am so mad, but I am so tired
 
After 48 hours of yardsales, I think I'm going to die. Have you ever spent 2 days in the hot sun while all of the work you did sorting clothes, labelling toys, bagging, carting, unbagging, setting up, hanging up, rearranging etc etc goes entirely to waste because there are suddenly no customers in the entire state of Maine???? The state where every third person wakes up early on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays just to go to yard sales and buy junk?

But the stupid yardsale, where we managed to take in only $56 for DD in 2 days (pointless, pointless, pointless), is not the reason I'm mad. I'm mad (and remember, this forum is all about me me me) because I sent the wrong ebay item to the wrong person. Or the right item to the wrong person. Or anyway, I am going to have to fix this stupid situation right away and it is going to cost me $$. Which I would have earned back easily at the big 4-family yard sale, if there had been any customers in the entire state of Maine.

I have a headache, the stupidest sunburn in all the world (I forgot to take my contacts with me today and had to sit around in my glasses all day, so I have 2/3 of my nose sunburned. I look like a drunken puppy), and I am totally exhausted. And I have to pick up DD later from a street dance. I hope she is having a lovely time dancing in the street. Funny how we would never let them hang around in the street with a bunch of unknown people, but call it a street dance and hey, no problem.

So I'd talk to you about your problems, but as you can see, mine are so petty I can hardly bring myself to think about anything else.

Kiwi

Kiwonk 06-21-2003 09:21 PM

Lush, boredom is not allowed. Come on up here, I have lots for you to do.

Peaches, your life is really confusing me these days. Did DS go off just for a week to visit his dad? Were you really planning on only 20 minutes to catch a plane? We allow 2 hours -- even up here at the ends of the earth. Of course, this sometimes means you have to wait for the airport to actually open up :rolleyes: , but at least you get to check your luggage. But honestly, if DS and his dad can't manage the clothing situation themselves, at least one of them needs to grow up and get a grip.

But in any case, I totally concur with your notion of moving while he's in NC. You will save yourself so much grief, it would be well worth pushing for it. What date does he get home this time? (Not that we are proposing meeting you guys in D. again -- I am already going to be doing so much driving this summer, it boggles my mind)

I'm going to write a whole different post to clear my head. Back soon.

Kiwi

Cowpernia 06-21-2003 09:31 PM

I could tell kiwi was upset when she wrote in black.

We would have had plenty of time at the airport if the boy had actually moved at all. I've never had this problem at that airport even since 9-11. You just never know. Maybe it was a good lesson for him and worth it.

So Maine has streets to dance in? It's cold up there isn't it? DS wants to know why people don't ride moose. I want to know too.

Where's my Bagzie Wagzie???? If I subscribe to Fly again, will it help me pack?

Kiwonk 06-21-2003 09:49 PM

Okay
 
I did have some really good things happen in the past 2 days, in addition to my sentence to the Land of Yardsalia. Yesterday after we were released from 25¢/each prison, we had big plans -- DD and her friend were going to play and sing at the coffeehouse in the town an hour away where we are always going, PLUS I had arranged to meet the owner of 2 dogs of the same breed as Molly (the one in my avatar picture). She also lives that general area. Because I have not had a Belgian Sheepdog fix in a looooooooong time, and she has a new puppy. That's the puppy in the picture below -- he was only 9 weeks there, but is now about 4 months old.

Well, this woman lives on a wonderful huge place with a panoramic view of mountains in the distance; they have a beautiful house, horse barns and giant fields. And horses, dogs and cats. The dogs were just lovely. The older one, a female, I could have sat and petted for hours. She was so much like my Molly, I almost forgot I was still sitting there playing with a whole different dog as we talked to the owner, who was very nice. Belgians are so nice to touch: silky, soft long hair and none of that icky-dog smell that makes your hands stink with some dogs. It was just heaven for me.

And the puppy, a boy, was a big silly goofy fluffy bundle of energy. He was really cute, but klutzy and nutty.

We also got to say hi to the horses, throw the frizbee for the 2 dogs and I had to be practically dragged out of there by DH, so that we could get some dinner and go to the coffeehouse. That was a lot of fun too -- DD and her friend had worked up a list of songs and they were much more prepared than the last time. They alternated doing short sets of songs with another guitarist guy and had a wonderful time.

But mainly I got to play with a beautiful soft lovely Belgian Sheepdog girl, and I want to go back!!!!!!!

Kiwonk 06-21-2003 09:52 PM

au contraire, it's hot up here. At least for a day or 2.

Cowpernia 06-21-2003 09:54 PM

Kiwi why aren't you on IM? And I hate to ask but it seems so obvious ... why isn't this cute puppy yours now?

Bagzz 06-21-2003 11:25 PM

hey you fat tanks,i am back now so i can drone on and on about my SELF and ignore all of you,once i sleep off my bender of course---------------my house is now full of teenagers so i will be whining on a regular basis----the house is already a dump,good night

SugP 06-22-2003 02:54 AM

sorry, I was fuming
 
Couldn't post due to having a two-day "How come we have so much crap and what are we going to do about it?" fight with dh. We are speaking again as of yesterday :p but we still have crap

Will post more later when I'm fully awake.

Cowpernia 06-22-2003 12:04 PM

What kind of crap do you have, Sugar? I need a round dinette table. Do you have one of those?

I'm not one to hold grudges as you all know but I am remembering that when I asked how many high school units kids needed in your states (or nations) to graduate, I was ignored by all but Lush (who don't know) and Painty (who don't care). I still want to know.

Now I have another thought-provoking story. A 15-yo boy (ds's age) had a summer job working with daycare at a church in a nearby town. A 3-yo girl said she had to potty and the boy said "I'll take her" and the adults let him. The girl said the boy "rubbed her bottom" and now he is labeled as a sexual predator (I may have that wording wrong) a label that will follow him allllllll the rest of his life. If predator is right, he will have to file his address with police everytime he moves and neighbors will be notified in the area he moves to. Florida has strict rules about this and yay for it but I don't think it takes a high court official to know that teenage boys don't normally have an interest in little kids and their eliminations and the adults in that daycare should be held responsible.

In Florida (I won't ask about your areas since you're ignoring my first question) if an 18 yo boy has sex with his 17yo girlfriend, he can get this label.

Wake up!!!!!! You are all too lazy. (I write this surrounded by unpacked books on the floor)

Kiwonk 06-22-2003 01:36 PM

We would have those fights, but I just ignore DH when he starts complaining about the mess. I could point out the god-awful mess he's left in the garage, basement, yard, barn etc etc, but I don't need to hear the crap, so I just give him a blank look while he tells me how we could really clean up "this corner over here (mine, of course)" and then I go back to whatever I was doing. He knows what kind of ***** fit I'd pitch if he started throwing my stuff out, so he can't say anything else. We've been married too long apparently.

The reason that puppy is not mine: it's hers. Well, she went all the way to Pennsylvania to get it. Truth is that there was a puppy available last winter, but I was trying to be a team player around here and not deliberately do things to pi** off DH while he was unemployed. However, I now regret this because he is still unemployed and I still don't have a dog and I wish I did. These past 6 months would have been the perfect time to train a puppy. DH's are :doh:, aren't they?

Oh well, I am in a very belligerent mood because I have a raging migraine (although it is starting to subside for the moment because my fave migraine drug: Excedrin Migraine) and I don't feel very sweet and loving.

We don't know how many credits it takes to graduate in Maine. DD thinks maybe 21, but we think that might be too few. I suppose I could look it up. Why do we want to know this, anyway? Is there really a chance that the Peachboy will not have enough? That is not the reason, I'm sure. We already know that Florida sux because 18 y.o.'s can't sleep with 17 y.o.'s, even if they have been doing so since they were 12. I assume this is also a double standard and an 18 y.o. girl couldn't prosecuted this way?

That daycare thing is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Of course a teenaged boy shouldn't be assigned to potty a little girl in a daycare setting. To me, there are 2 scenarios though -- he may have done exactly what everyone thinks he did, and the reason for that is he was too immature to be wiping a little girl's bottom. Teenaged boys are pretty much a one-track mind after all. The other scenario is that he didn't do anything wrong at all, he wiped her bottom just as he assumed he was supposed to do, and she said "rubbed" instead of "wiped". Both are the adults' fault, and I hope this kid will not be branded for life for their stupidity. Aren't juvenile records sealed?

God I talk a lot.

Kiwi

Cowpernia 06-22-2003 01:56 PM

I will check that story again but I was thinking in the past, when life was simpler, he would have had plenty of exposure to naked babies of all sorts and not been curious.

We want to know about credit requirements because FL has just changed from 24 to 18 making it CLEAR that they want kids to graduate from 11th grade it they so choose. We want to compare what politicians are doing.

Excedrin migrain is also MY fav medication. Much better than prescription ones.

Get a puppy Kiwi. You'll be happier then dh can get dinner on time.

Bagzz 06-22-2003 02:19 PM

chatty cathy cows
 
i am really enjoying all the chit chat about dh's that CARE about messes!!!---my dh would NEVER notice a mess,let alone complain about it---that is my job,and as you know,i create the messes and complain in the same breath------the girls and boy are total messaholics so what recourse do i have??? throwing everything out is the BEST thing i have heard in a long time----i am going to go to flybags immediately and get motivation ----also i am jealous that lusharse's house is immaculate in all its soggy cereal coloured glory--------------- I WANT TO PAINT MY KITCHEN APPLE GREEN!!!! SPECIAL TO WABBY- the oriental poppies are finally blooming as are the lupines,lilacs and iris------------ i send kiwi pictures to post,and request a photo of the lasagne patch special to painterpants---------- CONGRATULATIONS ON SURVIVING A HIT FROM COWSNIPPITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK PAINTERCOW!!!!!!

Kiwonk 06-22-2003 03:13 PM

You sent me pics? Yay!! Okay, one of these days I will film the lasagna garden. I should probably finish it first, because right now it is suffering from a layer of compost and wood ash and feels a bit under the weather.

Definitely paint your kitchen apple green. Sounds cheery!

Kiwi

Cowpernia 06-22-2003 04:53 PM

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.

Bagzz 06-22-2003 05:37 PM

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.

Cowpernia 06-22-2003 05:41 PM

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

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

Kiwonk 06-22-2003 10:07 PM

Ottoman, like the empire

PainterWoman 06-23-2003 01:11 AM

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. :love:

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. :stress:

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.... :eek: :eek: (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. :censored: I am coming out of denial about being "just a little Rubenesque." My thighs measure what I'd like my waist to be.
:mad: :mad:
:yikes:

Lush 06-23-2003 08:19 AM

Trying something new
 
[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.

I'm not going to call anyone names but it's not because I can't think of any. Let me JUST SAY that it is such a load off my shoulders to know that Sissy is using the pronoun "we" in such an authorative manner. Apparently, she thinks she's the leader here when, in fact, it is Sugar.

Painty, why would they need all those people? He did something, no denying that, and there are laws. I will refresh on details though.

Lushorama, I don't think there's any problem with storing the furniture in a good environment because I've been carrying around my clarinet since fifth grade (you were in fourth grade) and it's as good as new. No one has ever played it. Truly, like new.

I can't bear the thought of a yard sale. I don't like selling, don't like all those strangers, etc. I have my PO Box in my checks. Yesterday at the Winn Dixie (the one I've used for years) the teeniebopper ****** cashier said I had to write my address on the check or tell her out loud what it was. Actually she said, "Do you have a physical address." I wrote it on there but I'm gonna complain to the manager. I have had weird people (men) come to my house because they had info they just thought I couldn't wait to get and I don't want my address to be public anymore.

Painty, what is it that you paint?

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.

I was thinking of that movie when Peaches mentioned the day care case. Because ever since that incident, I thought people all over the country had become extra careful about anything that might be misconstrued to be abuse. Of course in this case, I don't know if there is any doubt about the fact or not. But letting a teenaged boy take a little girl to the bathroom, even if nothing wrong ever happened, doesn't look good. Lawsuit lawsuit lawsuit.

Painter, I'm a former sociology major, and I am wondering how you feel about the fact that most people these days seem to feel you should persecute sex offenders and hound them for the rest of their days on this earth, while your job was to try to counsel them? I think castration would be more humane than what we are doing to sex-related ex-convicts. Of course I can see the other side of it too. I wouldn't want my daughter walking to school by the rapist's house either.

Lush, I think that if you store old furniture in the attic, you should treat the wood with oil based polish or something and cover it thoroughly and it will probably be fine, as long as you don't have mice and bats like we do. Maybe use something that would repel insects from it too. Yuch, you should have seen some of the baby clothes I took to my sister's house last month. It was all very nicely packed up in boxes and stored in the attic, and some of it had mouse-poop damage and some of it was buggy. yek My sister is intrepid though, and washed out everything. We only threw away 1 or 2 things.

Painter, are sure you measured in the right direction? Maybe that's your height! :s: Just kidding! I'm not getting out a tape measure for nothin'
