Morning
Where is our Mel?????
Linus are you waiting to hear on a house in a different district or the new ones you told us about before? So glad the lads are feeling better....my two boys will be here this weekend to play some hockey.... so I am looking forward to it. You girls are busy on here...Teel so nice to see you here and you sound better too! Have you been able to play your violin lately? Anything scheduled for the near future? Shad so glad you are taking a day off with a friend... I had made like that for this weekend and then found out my two sons are going to be here for the weekend. Hope everyone is fine and enjoying the day. Merry Christmas all, Nae |
Wet
Wet day here in the rainforest :spin: :rain: Could be the white stuff and I would have to shovel it, don't want that...so all snow can stay over the mountains and over there where Holly lives :p I like the smell of rain, it is a warm fragrant sweet smell now in the winter days. Very different than on the summer rain days. I made ginger chicken and rice last night for dinner, kicked it up with some cayenne pepper. Did you know ginger is supposed to be good for your immune system and for joint pain? Dr. Weil newsletter told me so. Tumeric is supposed to be a very good spice for that too. Did you know you can get capsules to take with them in it? Spice pills. That would make me a Spice Girl, now what would my name be... Fluffy spice, squishy spice, free to be me spice? I have not much to say today, can you tell? No exercise, not good on the water, portions bigger than sustaining needs. My highly effective storage unit is busy packing its larder.
Shad-whatever are you going to do at work without the guys? If they aren't around for distraction you will be forced to keep your head down and work, work, work :lol: Your garden plans sound great, petunias are such happy flowers. I want a yellow and white garden someday. Lots of little daisies. Happy- Big hug for your pain. It sounds not nice at all. Stay warm and relaxed as possible. Suzi-Gosh, do you think it was the lack of oxygen in the mall that gave you a migraine? They are terrible. Enjoy seeing your dear husband :) Hope your head feels better by then or he might feel offended. Linus-YEAH! you have your son on the road to recovery and out of the house for a few hours. What did you do first? Have a cup of tea and a cookie on me. Teel-good to see you here. I'm sorry you aren't feeling Christmassy. My favorite part is the decorating. My daughter even started making paper ornaments for our tree that we don't have yet. She is gearing up too. Holly-how sticky did you get making the wreaths? Do you have to put on a snowsuit too? Do the kids want hot chocolate when they come in? Don't forget the marshmallows :) Send your man my way, I have some tiling that needs doing and as he has had experience :p Rose-you social butterfly! I would be down for the count with all that networking you are doing. One phone conversation and I need to hole up to recharge. Happy birthday to your little Teeka! Will she get a new chewie bone for the day? Tig-wow, watching manatees. I think they are the most interesting looking animals. I have only ever seen them on tv. When I was in Florida they were all hiding, I guess the word went out in the waterways that I was around and intending to bother them :dizzy: I was even on a boat in the St. John (not sure if that is the name) where all the manatees supposedly are and was told not to drive too fast as they might be injured. Watch out for Manatees! Mel-hope you are feeling content and smiling somewhere :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...b-tropical.jpg |

Linus~you are still lit so I think you are here??! I had to go change a diaper.
I have 2 kids, DD age 4 and DS age 6. I babysit 5 others ages 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2,and 4. My DD and the 4 year old are in school every other day for a full day.DS is in grade one.Every day another 6 year old gets off the bus here. So, from 3:35 -4:15 I have 8 kids here. All hungry and thirsty. It is nutty. I usually love it. Some days I could scream. Well, I do scream.I get over it fast. Never a dull moment! |
Jeepers Creepers
Why do I have such crappy peepers! Went to the eye dr yesterday and got home very late and blurry eyed. today is not much better but maybe I caught it in time. I just won’t comment for a few days till the meds take effect. Back to the old drops! They don’t hurt like the last time though Thank God! Hope you are all well and keep smiling!
Maybe Jen can read to me tomorrow! Went food shopping and had a terrible time. Then the bus broke down. Then my Cair broke down. After much screaming and yelling through tears the boss came to my house and found a plug undone that should have been checked before they returned this chair to me a few weeks ago! The new chair is awaiting a part, then will come home and in February the manufacturer will replace the entire motor unit with the newest model coming out for 2005. so we all made a deal to this agreement for the time being. If I am not satisfied then???????? So this week is a real test of my patience and it’s not going well. “they” are trying to take the HO out of my HO HO HO"S!!!!! I refuse to let them!!! Gotta go and rest. Spent all my energy for the day screaming and getting action! ROFL Adios Chicks! Nae~ thanks for the pm....will talk to you soon!! |
If you got the money honey, I got the time...

If we each put the time we posted into our note like so "at the tone the time will be 11:05pm" BEEEEEEEEpppppp. If your clock is updated correctly in your profile, my post of 11pm will actually reflect what time it is by you when it's 11:05pm by me. Hope that didn't confuse you... |
Mel, you go and rest those eyes of yours and stop trying to be every single one of Santa's helpers. I'm sure he appreciates you trying to be a friend to everyone, but this is no time of year to be feeling poorly. I've got the dibbies on that one anyway :lol:
|
Darn sight easier to go to the www.whitepages.com.au site, click on world time. Enter your place of abode (as in Scotland and Edinburgh) and then each of the others (as in Australia and Sydney or Brisbane). Mel I know is 15 hours behind me, Teel and linus are 9 hours behind, my friend in Arizona is 17 hours behind as is Roseblush so Happy must be in the middle at 16 hours behind. Hollyhock and Mel are on the same time zone. Florida appears to have 2 time zones??? Tig why do you need 2???? One the same as Mel and the other the same as Happy. Don't know which one Tig is on. Meadow is 18 hours behind me. Suzi is 1 hour in front at the moment.
Who's left out?? No one I think. Back later - after my steak and salad. |
Well that was a yummy tea even if I do say so myself.
Been a bit warm again today, although the wind came up this afternoon and blew everything inside out and blew the hot temps away I think. It's quite pleasant at the moment which is 20.05 on Tuesday 15.12.2004. I've washed and washed and washed this week. Where are all the clothes coming from? Well, I am still clearing up the DS's stuff. One would think that they haven't left home, and now that most of it is clean, it all needs ironing. Haven't I got anything else to do??? DB is coping quite well at the moment. I ring him every day, cos I know he won't ring me. DB the elder still hasn't come through with any of his good intentions. Good thing I wasn't relying on him too much wasn't it? Bah humbug. I am now trying to encourage DB the younger to think of something to fill the void. He needs to get a hobby or interest and I still haven't persuaded him to go to the doc. I'll keep at it!!! I must go for a walk down to the next street sometime this week to see the Christmas lights in the houses down there. We are obviously not Christmas folk in this street, can see much in the way of decoration anywhere, however the next street has lots of houses which are all lit up and sparkling. I have to admire the generosity of these people. They do it all every year and have lots of things going on. The Christmas lights competition last year voted the street as highly commended which was good for them. Some people really go to town on it. Every night the TV news has a couple of entries from the competition and they talk about the time it has taken to plan, organise and set up the lights. Some sparkle with more than 50000 lights. Holy smoke!. Teel, you can come to my place for lunch and dinner, breakfast too if you get here in time. I have some space at my table. I think there will only be DS2, DB2 and DB's children (maybe) so we will have some to spare. I have been invited to my friends down the roads place (the one with the kangaroos in the backyard) but I have already made arrangements with the family. So maybe in the evening or something. I really am not that enthused, not because I don't like going out there, they are real foodies and one never starves going out there, but like Teel, I am feeling fairly unenthusiastic about the season. But enough of that. Holly, I really admire you for looking after all those children. You must enjoy it our you wouldn't do it, but I would go aroun the twist with all that lot I am afraid. I had enough trouble keeping up with two. Linus, glad to hear that Craig is off to school and getting better and better. Mel, keep those eyes lubricated and just do nothing for a while to let them get back to normal. It's not fair that you have to put up with this as well. Get better soon. You need some talking books to keep you occupied. Meadow, you sure do get some great pictures up on this site. Happy, I didn't read your post properly and see that you did put a website addythere for Linus to look at. I did the same. Anyway, at least we are trying to educate Linus on the ways and times of the world. Time to make some more fresh fruit salad for breakfasts and puddings, so I best get off here and go do it. Have a good one. Happy and Mel take it easy on the back and eyes respectively, Teel look after yourself and the hound - how did she go at the vet by the way? Oh yes and while I think about it, Sunday the cat got a Christmas card from the vet today. She wasn't overly impressed!! I think that cartoon cats surfing the waves are not her cup of tea! And for the others of us, Linus, Holly, Suzi, Meadow and Tig stay safe and well. No more Christmas mishaps please. |
Can a Texan join in with you all? You are hilarious. I am just an average 52 yr. old Texan, Grandmother of 3 boys and one due in June, hopefully a girl. I quit working over 2 yrs. ago to stay home and keep Dgs, and I haven't regretted a minute of it. My other boys are 9 and 14, they all are sweet as sugar. My Dhb is retired so he is home alot, which at times drives me nuts. He has a hunting lease so he goes there quite often for several days. :) We have been married for 35 yrs. :D
Have a wonderful Wed., I will bbl. |
Off course Texas can join in with our strange chatter from around the world. Are you up late or is my timekeeping from around the globe a bit off. Umm, you are going to get a lot of questions on this site. Here's the first of them. What are the Dgs that your keep at home? and what is bbl??? I'm dumb on acronyms.
|
Good morning Shad, :coffee: I am up early woke up at 3 am. :yawn: and couldn't sleep so here I am. Dgs is dear Grandson and bbl is be back later. I always wake up so early, but by noon I am ready for a nap. :)
|
Aha, a lady after my own heart. I am an early bird who loves siesta. Pity I have to work for a living. I could become a real sloth if I didn't.
Nice to meet you. However I am off to bed now (it's 9.30 my time) as I will be up at 4.00 to get ready for gym and yet another day at the job with my four 'boys' - it's supposed to be my job to keep them in order. However I'm never quite sure who is the biggest clown. We start work early and are finished mid afternoon. It suits me just fine as I am never at my best late in the afternoon without having a snooze. Good to meet you Candlelady. We will speak again. |
Goodnight Shad. I am off of here now to get ready for the Grandson to arrive. :)
