sorry to start such a dismal thread,but i am a borecow this week---as kiwi can attest it has been raining or snowing all week---damp ,cold,ugly weather----all heading to the dreaded winter------and the time will change this week meaning it will be dark at suppertime------Ds9 started HOCKEY this week---he is over the moon about it, and i am dreading freezing me arse off at the rink-----he looked SO cute in his gear and so CANADIAN fer shure!!!!---------GO MARLINS!!!!!!!

Let's see. What can I write? I am the American version of Borecow. Our kids look American when they wear shorts and tee shirts. My son never wears shorts. He always wears tee shirts. Can he be half-American?

Have you ever hard of "Oppositional Disorder?" It's the new label you can apply to your kid if they are bratty. Then you can medicate them. A woman I know has a 13-yo girl who is constantly in trouble with the law; skips school; hits her mom. Now, she has something to blame it on.

Really Americans wear polarfleece over their t-shirts.

Yeah, I've heard of Oppositional Disorder. It used to be called "being contrary".

I have a disorder too: it's called Occupational Aversion Disorder. I want my medications.

i have OAD too kiwi---------sometimes i even feel guilty cause i won't SUBSTITUTE teach and LUSHbat does--------but then it goes away and i feel much better.gotta go watch ER----anyone heard from Suga????

Nope, haven't heard from Sugar, didn't even hear anything when she snuck onto our continent.

I've been off having the mother of all headaches. It made me miss another beautiful fall day. I couldn't even take my head out from under the pillow to enjoy it. I wish I could get back all the migraine days of my life.

I am the northwest version of Bore Cow. My plans for the weekend? Waving goodbye to DH as he goes fishing all day on Saturday. waaaah.

I have OAD too. I do go to the office, I just do everything I can do to actually avoid work once I get here. There is nothing fascinating about sending out billings, nagging ppl to pay their bills, getting money, sending out money to pay my bills. It's like doing dishes. Endless and boring.

My son spent years not wearing shorts. For some reason he thought his legs were too hairy. Now for some reason he wears shorts again. He and gf are moving out of the house across the street from us. They've decided to rent a condo - less money, less maintenance than a house. He will miss his Dad's shop.

Now, was that boring enough for you? I should go take digital photos of the pretty fall foliage and send to you. I should, but I probably won't get around to it.

and no, that's nobody I know. But that is one awesome yawn.

Sugar is in Florida. She and I are wearing bathing suits and polar-freece-Hawaiian-print throws around our hips.

I have not been notified lately of postings here and was thinking no one was home. I was gonna come sing. So I still will.

See previous picture for reaction.

See other end of baby for reply.

Canning tomatoes? you're making me tired.

My stint as a full time worker is almost over and boy, I can't wait. My life works much better when I just work when I feel like it.

My computer's been down for a few days...now I'm too busy to talk because I could write this message on top of this table. Tomorrow is DH's birthday and I have NOTHING done...I'm going to go slap on a book on tape and give the house one honest hour. bye
