Cow Talk with Hick and Hack
I'm tired of seeing Udder every day.

Udder is gross but Hick and Hack are OK?

Ohhhhhh, you must be thinking about Car Talk with Click and Clack..... NOW I get it! :dizzy:
Here's a close up of the scarf I mentioned last night... if the loader will manage, I'll load a photo of the whole thing as well. It is extremely THICK, and doesn't drape..... What do you think would be a similarly wild color combo in the blue/purple family? I HAVE TOO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO ALL AT THE SAME TIME. They require hand/eye coordination and concentration. You can't multi task when it involves writing a book, knitting, reading a book and taking a nap. Maybe I'll just opt for the nap. |
Kiwi Pie, thank you for the title!!! I have been so depressed and anxious about everything and YOU MADE ME LAUGHHHHH!! I love the Tappet Bubbas.
I have a friend who FOR THE SECOND TIME has sent me a @#$@! urban legend about Kerry saying John 16:3 is his favorite verse when he meant 3:16 and NO ONE IS HIS "CAMP" knew he was wrong. Mostly, this story is told about Bush but she misses that. I am just fed up with everything. Grrr p.s. EXCITING NEWS... if you do a google search on "like I dunno" but don't use quotes around it, DS's website come up first!!! Woo hoooo |
cowie-- I see that you are using one of ds's avatars as yours? He's put a LOT of effort and writing into the site. I love when kids work and are creative...... Sorry you are depressed and anxious.... when I put "like I dunno" in WITH the quotes, I found a self help site on anxiety and depression... coincidence? you decide. :lol:
|
I should point out that if you search Hillary Duff and Bat Boy at the same time, you also get ...

nope. No "scar" closeups!
Thanks to the boys for keeping me slighly more up to date on pop culture.... I'm still embarrased that my kids went to the same high school as Jessica Simpson.. (though SHE'd dropped out to move to H*wood. |

I think I'll stay up all night reading. What can we do to ease your anxiety? I am in full PMS mode and thus up to my ears in white toast with butter. It just won't leave me alone. AND I woke up this morning looking tired so I slapped on a bunch of make-up that only served to make me look like an aging trollop. So there. :p Go watch the funny election videos at jibjab.com. Very entertaining. |
An aging trollop??? Sugar, you could never.
I woke up at 3 am Saturday morning w/ thoughts of my runaway weight gain and I decided that I would put myself on Dr. Phil's "project status". Even though he really drives me crazy. I went to WW's. It wasn't as bad as I thought and now I'm doing the new program called The Core Program, which consists of mainly eating whole foods. As much fruit and veggies as you wish, lean meat, non fat dairy, etc. You're supposed to focus on achieving a satisfied, but not over full sensation. And exercising. What the h*ll, I'll give it a try. I don't feel like counting points right now. Prepare to be bored by my weight loss adventures. I weighed in at 158.4. eep. Up 15.4 pounds. You'd think I'd learn. Painty, beautiful scarf. It looks so soft. I can't even fathom stores being closed on Sunday. We northerners really are heathens. |
ohhhhhh-----------i LOVE your scarf painty!!!---my mom made me one last christmas---the yarns they are in the stores right now are AMAZING!!!--little bits of threads that glitter,beads,shiny threads ------------yummy colours~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!i agree with miss shuga----------blue and purple====deee light ful!!!============i am reading "the time travellers club" by audrey niffenegger====it's VERY long====518 pages ====but i had to read it for book club ------------------i wouldn't say it's GREAT but it's okay!!! i probably wouldn't finish it if i didnt' have to====i get to pick out the next book----i picked "name all the animals"----------gotta go talk to dh about what to get mother in law for her b=day tomorrow====see yas
|
*****Boring weight loss post alert*****I'm having feelings of mourning over the lack of chocolate in my diet. This is so sad, and right before Halloween. I've exercised 3 days in a row. Woo-hoo me. I've noticed something new. I'm old. It's harder to exercise now.
I'm reading What to Keep by Rachel Cline. So far, so good. Do not bother reading A Song I Knew by Heart by Brett Lott. I finished it, but it was slow torture. I've got to go to Amazon to read the reviews on your books, Bagzie. Maybe I could be a vicarious book club member. |
It is harder to excercise than it used to be, Wabbo, but it'smore important.
I voted today. My little vote will not hold up well here in the "Democrats Kill Babies and want to Destroy Churches," part of the world. |
i never knew the diff between Democrats and Republicans but my hubby tole me to just remember that R in Republican stands for "rich"-----------does this mean anything to yas all??? here the Liberals are liberal and the Conservatives are conservative { and support big business and the rich=canadian republicans}---------------i usually don't care about politics but you americans make it such fun!!! today laura bush was on regis and kelly and theresa heinz-kerry was on the view---i ignored them both but i am stuck home cause ds has a cold--------------------WABBY----PLEASE EXPLAIN THE CORE PROGRAM IN DETAIL AS I CAN'T SPARE THE CASH TO READ THE WEBSITE-=====---CAN'T YOU USE FLEXPOINTS FOR THE H'WEEN MINI CHOC0LATE BARS????????????????????? :lol: :lol: :lol: :smug:

The Little Vote that Could
Well, you did your part, Cowpeach. I wonder how long it will take to count Florida this year...
Originally Posted by Wabby: Not much going on around here, certainly nothing on the diet front. I'm in the midst of one of those total funks re: making meals. Every single day, another decision. How insurmountably boring. I don't want to go shopping, but I don't want to fix what we have here. We've decided that we can't afford to do the vacation we wanted to this Christmas. We were going to spend half of it with my family in NC and the other half in Florida with our boating friends. Because of abominable school vaca schedule, we would certainly have to fly to do both and the ticket prices are ridiculous. So we've decided just to drive to NC, do Christmas and drive back. Tedious, but :shrug: After lengthy discussion and deciding this, DD informed me while we were on the road yesterday that the guy she's had a crush on for years and who moved very far away, is coming back to town for Christmas. How unfair for her. I'm going to try to get us back here before he leaves; I suspect DH would just as soon she missed him, but I feel for her. I remember resenting my family's demands that cut into my personal life when I was her age. At least she's telling me what's going on. I must go do something useful this afternoon -- after several days of rain it's a gorgeous day. You should have seen the amazing phenomenon I saw yesterday. I had dropped DD off at school about 7AM and was heading home. The sky was mostly cloudy and partly pink from the sunrise and I looked up and saw a PINK RAINBOW!! Nothing but pink -- it was so cool!! I just looked up "pink rainbow" in Google to see if I could come up with a picture, and it seems that is a gay organization. :rolleyes: I found a site of rainbow pictures that includes a pink one, but it doesn't look like the one I saw. These pics are of a pink sky with a pink rainbow in it -- my (yeah, my) rainbow was in against a blue and grey part of the sky. Here's one that's even in Maine. This one's a little more like what I saw. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me. I'm just a little ray of sunshine today, eh? Kiwi |
As soon as I figure out the core program, I'll tell you all about it, Bagzie. So far I've been eating gallons of my WW Taco soup. It has lots of beans in it. I hope I'm not sorry. Rule # 1 is that you can eat veggies and fruit. A minimum of 5 a day. Maybe you can just change your diet one rule at a time.
My big news is that I'm going to high speed internet on Nov. 1st. Yippee. Kiwi, how do I get my very own rainbow? |
i love your rainbow story---i actually started bringing my camera in the car lately cause of all the falllllllll foliageeeeeeeeee---but sunsets are earlier these days so i should get some of those too------------I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR PINK RAINBOW---I WANT A PURPLE ONE!!!!
|
At least the Dems in Florida might make a HUGE difference. Dems in Tex are doomed... or certainly VASTLY outnumbered... unless the R's are cock sure of their victory and stay home. I can only hope. I plan to vote tomorrow. the county election board had ALL precinct sites listed on their web site, so where i went to vote wasn't open for business. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Banana bread is calling me. |
I heard a man at the election office saying, "If you voted right, you remembered that the Moslems are over there killing Christians." He was not talking to me. Thank God for that.
|
I see here that Kiwi's vote is even more important than mine.
|
I've exercised 4 times this week. I think it's a record. Leslie Sansone is my best friend, although she's a little on the perky side.
It's my week of beauty. Nails yesterday and haircut tonight. I'm just a pampered flower. hee. I have nothing to say. One day until the 27th anniversary. Do you think I should keep him? |
Go GO HERE FOR REAL and watch the "Our Land" video.
|
My vote is not important, apparently, either. Well, it's important to ME. And shame on the person electioneering AT the voting booth. I certainly hope he didn't have any "official" status except "______" ( -- oops, I forgot, I'm giving up name calling about the election even if it isn't Lent....)...
Wabby, if you've managed 27 years, you have too much shared history to scrap it. Keep it and keep making it better and better. Congratulations!!! |

MY dh still needs A LOT of fine tuning. My parents have been married for 44 years. Sheesh. Told Mummy that I've been depressed lately (like for the past 5 years) so she's calling me tomorrow to have The Talk and give me some moral support. I know I'll be blubbering the whole time. Blubbered all the way through that Diane Keaton/Jack Nicholson movie yesterday. Wasn't that supposed to be a comedy? Diane looked really good. I would NEVER kiss Jack Nicholson. :D Trying out a Korean restaurant tomorrow. Should be spicy. Hope I don't blow the top of my head off. I love that kim-chee stuff. We saw a rainbow this morning. Not pink, just your regular garden variety, but still. |
CONGRATULATIONS WABBY!
Quite an achievement to train and be trained day after day for 27 years. I wish you pride and pleasure in the next 27! Sometimes I think that everyone who's weight-endowed in this world is or has a tendency toward depression. Maybe it's hormonal? Or Genetic.... at least the tentency. There must be some possible advantage!!! I do like www.authentichappiness.com, though. I've maintained curiousity and am trying to ressurect "zest".... (It would help if I stopped trying to get by on 4 hours sleep!) Hope everyone is well. |
Ms. Paint, I'm bookmarking that site for further review - looks interesting.
I think the weight gain is a symptom of the depression thing. We eat for comfort. Then we get depressed because we've gained weight and the cycle continues. I know that when I get a certain amount over my healthy weight I go into a tailspin. Then I seem to bottom out and make myself get back on the diet and exercise wagon and I seem to do better. I think the exercise is such a key to mental health, but it's so hard!!!!, especially when you're feeling depressed. Anyway, know that we love you Sugar, and I sure hope a heart to heart w/ your mom does the trick. I think Jack Nicholson is kind of cute in a bad boy sort of way. Diane said he was a better kisser than the young guy. :o We're not doing much for our anniversary today, but DH said to pick a place for this weekend and he'd follow me anywhere. It's kind of rainy, but the beach is always good, even in a storm. |
Congrats Dearest Wabby And Hubby!!!
MOST DEFINITE GOOD WISHES ARE IN ORDER AND MAY YOU HAVE A ROMANTIC BEACH WALK,WITH DH CARRYING THE BASKET WITH THE BLANKET,THE BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE,TRUFFLES AND CAVIAR -----"IF YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN-----IF YOU LIKE MAKING LOVE AT MIDNIGHT ;) ;) ;) IN THE DUNE ON THE CAPE-----COME WITH ME AND ESCAPE!!!---OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT----------anyone remember that song-----wabby mentioning the Beach got me singing----okay all for now---except!!!!! :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Change of plans - I booked a room at the Skamania Lodge. It's in the Columbia River Gorge, which is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The romance package - includes beautiful room w/ fireplace, chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne, and breakfast. Of course we will have to have dinner too. Very romantic. Can't wait.
|
I'd post but I have to take a shower and go pick up DD. I believe a shower will be my sum total of accomplishment for today. I can't believe you put the pina colada song in my head, Bagzie. RED SOX RED SOX RED SOX
|
la la la
I used to loooove that song!!! What feels like a zillion years later? Not so much. :cb: :cheers: :cb:
That DOES look like an interesting site, Painty! Is that what you use in your counselling? |
Whatever works is what I use...
Authentic happiness offers a nice "cafeteria plan" for the depressed, weary and boggled. A lot of what I do it try to get people to alter their thinking... (what a trip it's been during this political season!!! :devil: )
I LOVE THE COLUMBIA RIVER VALLEY. Hmmmmmm and to be there with a sweetie! Now there's an anniversary idea I might steal. Wahoooo Red Sox. But I don't know what i'm gonna do Saturday. DH is from St. Louis. DD is in Boston.... Hmmm. Maybe the Sox. (you can't knit a cardinal, now can you?!) |
Hi everyone...though disgusted by our current political situation, I am not depressed about it because I watch Degrassi. I feel I am intense enough to be a good Canadian.
Here are the other reasons I am not depressed, 1. I do not eat sugar. 2. I have kicked all of the vexing people out of my life. I do not speak to any of my siblings and to most of dh's(list is getting thinner by the day). In short, I have stopped taking crap. The only reason I can do this is because our mothers are gone, so I take no credit. BUT...what a difference! SIL lashed out at me some time ago, because I did not appease her by letting her cry on my shoulder and I would not validate her view of herself as a victimized, wronged person. She recently called to apologize and after I graciously accepted her apology and assured her I forgive her, I told her she will not be granted re-admittance to my life. It felt wonderful. This Christmas, instead of being depressed about having to be alone or with nasty relatives, we are going skiing. I'm finished with all of this and it has changed my life. It is good in the weight dept, too. They aren't around to make me mad so I don't have to eat at them. We went to Dd's dream college yesterday, it is tres selective...she will be hurt because she is not a jock....but they were very positive toward her other activities. Due to her arthritis, I think they are jerks to even bring up the athletics, but it seemed no time to tell them that they were idiots. We'll deal with that if it comes up. The boys conferences were today, they are doing fine. Now I'm hanging around considering a nap. Have fun! L |
Lushie, you're my role model. I'd like to grow up enough to tell ppl to take a flying leap. My Dad still isn't talking to me, or I to him, so that makes us kind of the family outcasts. Except when they need something. My brother stopped by our work this week to ask a very big favor (won't go into it, but it's one of those things you do, even though you don't feel comfortable doing it.) and my younger sis called because her dh's windshield in his truck is broken and they want to buy one at cost from us. (we don't do auto glass, but can still buy it wholesale). It wouldn't bother me so much except for the fact that they never call or visit unless they want something.Isn't there an Americans w/ disabilities act that would level the playing field for DD at this college?
DH took sent me roses and took me out to dinner yesterday for our anniversary - plus I get the weekend trip. And he gave me a card that seriously had me misting up. Yup, I guess I will keep him afterall. :love: |
Lucious.. WAY TO GO GIRL.
A good mother can never be thanked enough.... but a bad mother... well, unless one's had one onesself, the damage, pain and hurt can never be fully expressed.:hot: (I sort of think of a bad mother as like Hurricane Ivan with PMS.) Enjoy your nap and I hope DD finds the right dream college for her. Wabbs... lucky you.... and be sure to give DH a hug from me for being such a fine example of kind and loving manhood! I How about a bumper sticker: Cull the Vexers It is odd enough that maybe a few people would have to think! :coffee: |
I've got to hand it to you, Painty, that's an odd bumper sticker. :twirly:
So the Cardinals won last night? I wasn't paying attention. I'm glad it's not Houston -- Texas vs Massachusetts sounds too much like the election. Red Sox fans are practically faint with anticipation. They have a dandy pair of socks pattern in the grass on their infield -- does St. Louis have a cardinal on their infield? If not, I think there's no contest. The Yankees' field was pretty but not very creative -- stripes and checkerboards, you know. I can't believe I watch baseball.. Lush, what is DD's dream college? I hope she can go there. My DD's problem is she doesn't have much of an idea where she wants to go or what she ultimately wants to do. I sort of wish she had a couple of more years before she had to decide; she is still discovering things that interest her and having to "choose" seems so limiting. Hey! I took a walk this morning. :hyper: Kiwi |
I am tired. I need to give up sugar (not Sugar) and old tiresome relatives like Lohie.
My dream is that one of the candidates will win because of Florida and in Florida, he will win by ONE vote... and it will be MINEEEE. |

Does anybody else think the Cardinals' logo looks like birds on a seesaw?

I hope the dream comes true, too.... And my dream (besides "culling the vexers"!) is that the citizenry can patch things up and listen and learn from each other.. |
Hello, I'm feeling confident regarding the election because Peaches is on the job in Fla. Unless they cheat again, we should win.
Kiwi, I can't believe you watch baseball, either. It is so boring. I'm glad my kids don't play. About college, I agree that 17 is too young to make these decisions. Dd is a very focused person, most of her friends are sticking around here because they just aren't sure. It helps that there are probably 30 top colleges within commuting distance from here. Painty, re: mothers..... one has to come to terms with the past. I had to step back and look at my childhood experiences in terms of the whole world. For example, girls in Thailand are sold into prostitution; girls in Africa are subject to circumcision. When looked at from that point of view, my experience is mild. I have to go pack lunches for the month. I don't feel like it. Oh well, bye |
