Wabby: we're both adorable and we both are bullied by Lush.

Bagz: the ramp was not intended for you, was it? What were you doing at the hotel? What room number?

ach
 

Yes...and don't forget it.

Wabby....... anybody, but Cherry, who looks better than we do has to be either a tramp or lacking in braincells. Otherwise life would not be fair.

Bagz, we are old. Now that we can't walk, what's left?

Choosie, Cowper didn't say you're unlikeable, she just asked that you share more of yourself, like everyone else does. We know people lurk here...we can see that by the amount of views the posts have. However, it becomes very uncomfortable when someone makes herself known but doesn't reveal anything of her self. All relationships are like that. This forum has a comfort zone where most of us feel we can be ourselves. This is important and Cowper was just protecting that. She approached it openly on the forum because most people would think it was invasive to be contacted and questioned on a PM. She's really very sweet.

Regardless of the wanton youth she had.

37 minutes until the 3rd well guy is supposed to arrive. I'm not holding my breath.

Hey, have fun at the rodeo, Wab!! Don't overdo, but enjoy!

kiwi

Wait a minute
 

Excuse me?????? You take your shot at the old and decrepit then leave for the rodeo???????

You picked the wrong :censored: day to start whomping :rollpin: on the new kids!! I turned my ankle last night :stars: while walking with the old people; I have :censored: cramps today; and the :censored: computer ate my whole :censored: post. So Cut it out- :bomb: -I need all the friends I can get!!! I live out in the boonies with the :censored:field mice and everybody I know keeps moving away, so I actually like to get to know new people!
:sumo:

And everything else I had to say, I'm in too bad a mood to try to dredge up again.

Kiwi :headache:

I am @#$%^'d tired of deprivation. I want cookies and cream. And, actually, I want to paint and sketch and work out without having no time left over for lounging around.

Had two days of trauma training. Am definitely traumatized. They had white chocolate macadamia nut cookies in the afternoon. Was it good or bad that I had (only) one each day?

Hope Choosie is still lurking... I think she was doing find revealing stuff.... Gotta respect the new heiffers.... some are quieter than the rest. And you know who you are.

Was it Lush that tripped on the Bulges equipment....? Whoever, I'm sorry and hope you have someone to put icy hot on the boo boos.

See? Painty is a therapist.

Hey, Wabby...Taco Soup was yummy...thanks for sharing! :T

Points increase dramatically, however, when served with grated cheese and cornbread on the side. :T :T

i am open for online therapy as well----i need to find out how to lose weight---however now that i have a TIM HORTON's point list I will be able to count better--------------i got FOUR extra points yesterday for walking !!!!Boring ,eh???? i must go and see if there are any sites that like to talk about point counts.

Will Painty lead us in group therapy? We can all lose weight and become well-balanced while we're resolving inner conflicts.

I nominate her. Do you think we have to pay her or do you think she'll do it for free?

I went to Curves last night. I didn't fall or humiliate myself in any way. People talked to me and were friendly. All in all, it was horrible in a bearable sort of way. I didn't loose any weight.

Painty, this is how I view my own feelings of deprivation. The junk we eat and overeat is killing us. It is a self-destructive impulse and a denial of our worth to indulge in them. Because I wasted my 20's being married to a psychologist, I know that most people prefer familiar self-loathing to unfamiliar self-love.

The well person showed up!!!!!!! He said we need a new pump, not a new well!!!!!!!! Do you know how much $$$$$ that saves me???

I would post my list of tasks for today, but Sissy will be rude and dismissive of my continuing efforts at organization. Therefore I will struggle on by myself.

Yipee Fedex is here!!!!!

I am glad there is at least ONE well person in our midst. :lol: I'm not it!

No I won't lead y'all in group therapy. I want to be led while I'm here. I can't help it if once in a while I say something brilliant. (That's a joke, OK. Lush... your psychologist husband fron history was right about familiar self-loathing vs. unfamiliar self-love. thanks for making me read that.!

Take care. I've got two appointments today, then lunch with DH (if he can get away) and then, maybe a long nap.... or strip to Borders. :)

Not a strip. (EGAD)
TRIP!
I don't have my contacts in yet and my fingers can't see.

We thought you'd become racy like Sissy. She's stripped at Borders a lot of times.

Jesus has asked me to pray for you all.

Miss Canada, have you listed the 5 Luminous Mysteries? Do you even know what they are? I see you are avoiding that question which means that JC won't do anything for you....he'll be p*ssed.

i am too busy ignoring all the other rules my catholic overbearers are dishing out---like not letting ME go to communion cause i am remarried and not annulled---AND dissing all my gay pals-----grampie JP is really bugging me lately------the rosary is on the backburner---anyway,it was the protestant Jesus who asked me to pray---the catholic one isn't allowed to talk to me.

Here's the problem with protestants: they never change. They do not come up with new and novel beliefs...like the 5 luminous mysteries, which are BRAND NEW!!!!!! Also, they can not really be against your gay friends since....well I'm sure you have a cousin who became a nun. Remember how baffled she was when you expressed an interest in boys?

I don't like country music, but I'm sad Johnny Cash died.

Tomorrow is soccer. Pray for rain. We're having a party tomorrow night. While I was cleaning today my SIL and her significant other showed up and distracted me. Tomorrow, I have no time to do anything, so I'm doing it now. I'm ashamed to say that I have resubscribed to flyhag in the groundless belief that I will get good habits. I wish someone would post since I'm going to be up all night panic-cleaning.
I'll be back.

I live near deptford..is it the one in my state?

no. England. near Big Ben.

I DO want to hear about the 5 luminarias. I think the best "new" religious stuff is coming from the woo woo fringe elements. I also think that's where the worst new religious stuff is coming from.... We could consider starting a cult that worshipped big butts and boobs.... We'd all be goddesses, right?

Bagzz... I thought that you could go for communion anyway... and that the priest wasn't allowed to "skip" you because that'd be breaking the confessional seal...
If all else fails (and you miss the rituals) check out an Episcopal church. The words are almost identical.... And they have new ideas sometimes.... (Old ideals, new ideas)

And except for a few, they even think gays and lesbians, bisexuals and (even) transgendered folks are PEOPLE who deserve respect and charity and love.
Ooooh... weight loss forum AND a soap box.... I am losing my therapeutic neutrality....

Hope y'all have a good Saturday... It's nearly 3 am once again... so don't expect to see me until late tomorrow!!!
:s:

This is my last day with my loaner-dog, so I want to hear about the luminous mysteries too. Maybe I'll convert.

Or would that cause **** to freeze over? :devil:

Yeah, probably.

Anybody watch the fabulously boring Dr. Phil with Little Katie on TV last night? I wrote down all 7 of his luminous mysteries of dieting so I wouldn't have to read the book. I'm sure they will be very helpful :rolleyes:

David Letterman is going to have a baby. :lol:

Kiwi

I deliver...now you have to deliver
 

Peggy Noonan, whose last book When Character Was King, the Story of the Ronald Reagan years(I'm serious) is all for the addition of the luminous. She explains that when you do the rosary you are supposed to focus on the "mysteries" of Christainity..like Christ being a child, being crucified and being in heaven. Now they've added luminous mysteries which focus on his time as a teacher. I found the mysteries for Peaches last night, but now I can't find them.

I should not be a smart-*** because I guess Peggy and people like her think that this is a good thing. HOWEVER, since the Pope is obviously senile, I'm sure some dogma wonk who does not have the authority to speak ExCatheda made this up. Don't they have better things to do? Plus, it cracks me up that they are having a RALLY in Atlantic City to get everyone behind this....like a big sales meeting in Las Vegas. I wonder if they'll have celebrities. My seventh grader has been asked to go to AC for the rally. I hope they don't have call girls.


Now I want to hear the Dr Phil things. I like what he says..but isn't he sort of nutty? I mean, don't you imagine that his wife is long-suffering???? Plus, is he thin?






Painty, We're all up at 3AM...it is par for our age. Sleep is over.\\

hellllo bags,i watched some of dr phil and here is a link to what he said about his seven whatevers about looosing weight---http://www.msnbc.com/news/965280.asp?0cb=-213180015

loosing weight
 

I read someone's opinion of Dr. Phil's new diet book somewhere and they said he could stand to lose about 25 himself and should stick to those other "Fix Your Life and Everyone in It" books.

I know a Catholic nun who is just the sweeeeeetest woman you could ever meet. She wanted to spend her retirement in Denmark but has been shipped off to Rome. She says being a nun teaches you the true meaning of obedience. Yikes.

If I converted with Kiwi would **** freeze over twice?:devil:

Other than that, I am holding at 151.5. Yahoo. Finally getting somewhere. May actually exercise tomorrow.

Did you see that map? 20% fat people in Oregon. We HAVE to move. We'd feel right at home!

Can you tell I'm on here when I should be cleaning up the kitchen?

I want you all to know how old you are.....
 

And...I remember when you all knew lil pumkin. Well, she is little missy now!!

She is at her first sleep over tonite!! WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Last nite she told me to just drop her off. This morning she told me she didn't think she could go to sleep without a kiss from me.

When I dropped her off at 1:30 p.m., she begged me to come in with her.:D Bad mommy for liking that!!:o

I called a bit ago at 7:30 to check on her, and she was fine. I am waiting for the final word when it is actually time to sleep.

OMG!! This is the first time I have left her with anyone but my family. And that has not been but two or three times over night.

How can she be this old???!!! Tell me cows!! I am not ready with this little missy stuff..she needs to be lil pumpkin!! Sitting in my lap while I am typing to the messies and the WLB's!!

So I got on the computer to go to my diary and the first thing I thought of was her on my lap over at cyber mom and me doing OHBT (errrrrrr....one hand baby typing).

Hence the reason for this post.

Hee Heeeeeeeeee......on a side note.......why did this have to be the only Saturday evening in forever that DS decides to stay home and take over my living room??????????????

Smooches to you all. I think I will go track down Rachel's site and see how her little lovely is doing.

Sue me, I am feeling nostalgiac! (sp?)

(((Ahem.....on a side note....this post was NOT posted from jail))}

:lol: Good one. Can't believe the lil one is big enough for a sleepover!! Time flies, eh? My "little one" was just sitting here not much more than 1/2 an hour ago joining me in an instant messaging conversation with her aunt, my sissie. I love technology...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh our little ones have grown so since the Cybermom!!!---my baby who sucked on his pluggie and carried his plastic shopping cart on his lap while i wheeled him to the mall is in GRADE FOUR,weighs a hundred pounds and is almost as tall as his teenage sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DARLINGS---I CAN RELATE------------- and my big baby is away at university-----------------When should we crack out the purple dresses and Red Hats?????

Muffie, I really admire you for being able to block out your past. Yes, the babies aren't babies anymore. My boys went dirtbiking today...oooohhhhh it gets dangerous as they get older, too.
I have napped all day. It has been wonderful.
I'm sure I'll be around tonight...all night.

Who knows what MY baby is doing... he's not even IM'ing... maybe he's actually doing his 4th year calculus. We can hope.... He's 6'4". BIG BIG baby! :l0l:
Glad to know I'm not the only one wide awake in the wee hours. I need to start using these hours more productively... Do you think midnight is too late to be lifting weights?

I calculated Dr. Phil's BMI: 29.2. It is SO much better than mine, that I can't complain. He is definitely blunt, but usually right on target as far as logic and consequences goes.... and I think he's pretty entertaining.

He's SO MUCH BETTER than Dr. Laura! I just found out to day that SHE renounced her Jewishness.... My Jewish friends say you cant actually DO that... but by golly, she's trying. I hope she doesn't join any church I know.

Do you have to be invited into the purple hat cult? Maybe WE could become Cardinals and/or bishops....

Ciao and goodnight.

here i am
 

Hi Painty. Everyone is better than Dr. Laura. You've set the bar kind of low, haven't you? Everything I've read about Dr. Phil's book doens't address his chubby cheeks. Why?

I have(I hope) a well person coming to fix my well. Wouldn't you have assumed that they would start earlier than this?

I want to be a Cardinal, too. I don't want to be Pope. I think Cardinals have a better time, plus I don't look good in white.

I must go run the dishwasher and the washer before they turn off my water.

L

Well knock me over with a feather
 

JLo and Ben have split up. Are we suprised? Will that girl ever learn?

I've been readin' stuff that says it's fine for Dr. Phil to put out a diet book even though he has a BMI of 29, but he shouldn't be pushing energy bars (consisting of mostly sugar and it's derivatives) and magic pills. Tsk tsk.

I have PMS big time and my neck hurts BUT I just have to put the finishing touches on my course assignment and I can send it off to Tony in Ireland to be graded. Only 6 more assignments to go. Ack. Hope my brain holds out.

The well people are here..I have no water. I don't need a new well, but I don't have the ideal well...the well of DH's dreams. Sad, sad. We will get a fancy, schmancy pump...but not the 1hp pump DH longs for because

Sugar, you are so smart. What do we do about PMS? There is a pill for premenstrual disphoria.....someone I know ttakes it an she feels better. She doesn't seem better, but who cares?

WEll guys are destroying my front yard..bye

Oh bagzzz! I remember your walks with the plastic grocery cart!! Damn if time doesn't fly!

Thanks Lohani. And yes, with boys, it does get dangerous! DS has calmed a bit. He will be 18 in January. My only worries with danger right now is him riding in other kids cars and injuring himseelf in a mosh pit!

I'm off to look for a job. I got fired last week. I have an online journal and I made the mistake of accessing from work. I cleaned out the history, etc. but my boss logged on to the net and when I got to work last Monday, she had read it and saw my complaining about her. I didn't say anything that was not true, but that is a long story.

In any case, this was just the push I needed to get out of there. I was very underpaid (by at least 3 bucks and hour) and with her living out of state, I had to many responsibilities and I was taking work home mentally.

I'm going to look for legal secretary rather than paralegal as there is a huge need for secretaries and I could use a break in the work load. I think at this time in life, transcribing all day will be much better than dealing with phone lines and clients. Very draining.

Have a great week cows!

I'm in shock over J Lo and Bennie boy. I'm sooo disillusioned.;)

I'm back from the rodeo and still in one piece. That is one wild party. Does anyone know why ppl whoop out loud for absolutely no reason? :dizzy:

Muffie, sorry about the job, but it may be a good thing. I often wish someone would fire me, but no matter what a slacker I am, I'm still here.

Time to do some work, and then I'll be back to catch up.

I love to listen to Dr. Laura. Because she's so Dr. Laura-ish. It amazes me that ppl call up for her abuse. They all act like Dr. Laura groupies, then she cuts them down and acts all smug.

Dr. Phil is starting to disillusion me. I watched the inside fame show on the e! channel that said he was not what he seemed, although I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. His first wife blabbed about him and his ex business partner too, and I don't think they were the most impartial of ppl to give their opinion.

I'm so glad I live in Oregon. I feel absolutely svelte here.

Lohani, hope your water is back on by morning. I can appreciate the luxury of a new well. We finally gave up on ours and went to city water. At least it doesn't go dry in August.

Wow, sorry to hear about the job, Muffie. You join an elite group of people who have been fired for their online writings. I think that someday that will be outlawed. Best of luck getting something you like better.

Blecch...Dr. Laura...nasty hag. I have to agree that it's pretty entertaining to hear those poor pitiful folks call up for "help" and get the psyches dumped in the toilet, but I can't listen to her for very long: I start arguing with the radio :rollpin: and driving erratically. :lol:

Good grief, it's hot here! It's like July again. What a strange year this has been. Soon Hurricane Isabel will probably make herself known and we'll have crappy weather again.

Kiwi

Here's what I learned today:
 

YIKES!!
 

Kiwi...you just never know about kids. Isn't it just terrifying at times? Sometimes I look at DS and how he is almost 18 and I should be done with that type of worrying. But now I have my pumkin to worry about for the next 12 years!! I'm to old for this. I really worry about kids in our society. Even the *good ones* don't always turn out to be good. There are so many things that influence them. Look at pumkin, she is 6 and is worried that she doesn't want to wear shorts because her *thighs* (yes, she used that word) are to big. My goodness, she is not skinny nor is she pudgy in the least. She is totally obsessed with this right now. Afraid she won't be *popular*. SIGH

You are right, I think things like what I was fired for will be outlawed one day. Probably sooner than you think. It certainly is a changing situation. By accessing my blog at work, I was wrong. I should have known better. What is interesting is that when I asked her if anything I said was untrue, she changed the subject. I asked if my work had suffered and all she could say was my desk was a pig sty. Whatever, she is now a state away with some sort of student answering the phones. Her loss, and definately not mine. Just another glitch that will be easily overcome.

Ha! And until I find a job....you all will be stuck with my extra time on my hands. hee hee What a lucky herd you are! IF you want to peruse my blog, send me an IM. It is not much more than my blundering and whining. I just feel like it is my place to be open with my feelings without wondering who the **** I offend. Sometimes I wish I could turn off the comment function because I feel people want to just express and I'm sorry for whatever it is I am talking/whining about when that is not what I am looking for. I just want to get it out of my system and get on with the day.

Hmmmmmm..did not mean to be so long winded here. So sorry!:^:
