False. Must go to work and get DS to the escuela.
Next week, DS will be in Spain with Herbie. Herbie wants to have dinner for all the going-to-Spainers on Wednesday. I want DS to go but I don't wanna. This is because I kind of hate Herbie, you know. But DS does not hate him. Vote: Should I go? Make up an excuse and pick DS up later at inconvenience to myself? TPBM did something interesting this weekend. |
True, if you consider painting baseboard molding interesting. Yes, it's true. I have baseboard molding in my bedroom finally. I was shopping w/ a friend on Saturday and when I came home, DH was just finishing the job. It's amazing that I waited 10 years for it to happen, and he did the job in 2 hrs. Now he's talking crown molding. How many years do you think? Wanna make bets? Do you think he's just toying w/ my emotions?
Peachers, if I were you, I'd probably stay home, but you're a better mom than I and you'll probably go to make DS happy. I'm sorry you're feeling depressed. Nothing like that thick, black cloud hanging over you. Sometimes it's best just to say you're sick and go to bed and try to sleep through it. How's that for avoidance? No wonder I never solve any problems. There is a king of the hill place here, too, Painty. It's a little town about 15 miles away that is known for rednecks and big 4x4 trucks. Funny that those folks all congregate together. I have tax time angst too. The joys of self employment. Does the scotch help? We do not watch the sci fi channel. DH watches the history channel, the fishing shows (like watching paint dry to me) and old movies. I prefer DVR recordings of Dr. Phil, Oprah, Paula's Home Cooking and What Not to Wear. Also big fan of the Desperate Housewives and Boston Legal. I love my DVR because I always nod off before the end of Boston Legal and since it's recorded I never miss the end. I really, really miss Lohani. Are you still posting w/ the cleaning gals? No fair. When I came into work today, the guys had already left to work on a job. Unfortunately, they'd locked the office door, but forgotten to close the overhead shop door right in the front of the building! Everything wide open. Geez. Everything was still here. TPBM loves her work so much, she's thrilled it's monday. |
False. That would be Bagz.
Emotionally, I am over Herbie. It took a while but it's done. I could feel uncomfortable at the dinner, however, if I felt other Herbie-kin were observing me out of curiosity. Then again, why should I care? Even though they are his kids, they don't visit him except early in December for Christmas. They meet when he takes them out to eat. I'm sure they don't enjoy him all that much. Wabby, write to Lohani and make her come back. What would it take? I think she's being selfish and insensitive by dropping and she's my own sister. It is kind of fun to have her around though. I'd write to her but she's been ignoring my emails for a while. So I stopped sending them. TPBM knows how to manipulate Lohani. |
[/SIZE]no way---that old bat is unmaniputable--or whatever---she comes and goes as she pleases and we all bow down to her glory because she once called herself the Queen of our WLB.I thought we were supposed to slow down cause we are OLD,not speeding up!!---ds was SICK today---so dh had to stay home with him because i had no backup at the shop--------THAT WAS HORRIBLE----DH HAD TO GET BACK TO WORK AND I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING AWAY IN TIME EVEN THOUGH MY GIRL ARRIVED TO FINISH UP THE DAY----------i am SO not used to such events since i have been home and AVAILABLE AT ALL HOURS FOR TWENTY ONE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----i definitely DID not like the situation.Dh was all stressed as he is working on a big story,so now we are both discombobulated. it will take some time for me to adjust to this working thing----we spent all weekend trying to enter info on the Simply Accounting Software----ain't as simple as it looks-------I HATE THE PAPERWORK---HATE IT!!!--- i do love buying and selling the product and yakking to people in the market .KIWONK---WE HAVE NO SNOW LEFT-----------YOU SAY YOU HAVE SNOWBANKS????CRAZY!!!!------PEACHERS!!sorry you were down this weekend---what a drag----too bad you have nice weather all the time---if you had crappy weather like we do,then the sunny warm days would cheer you up............i would say the blazes with herbivore---no way would i enjoy a dinner with him blabbfesting in all his glory----just drop off the boy and pick him up later----------do what YOU want.wabbs-----------how wonderful about your baseboard---i am working on dh remembering to take out the garbage since i am not here to remind him!---WHERE IS SHUGA??????------AND PAINTY DARLING----ANY PIZZA IS WORTH EATING---YOU KNOW IT!!!!! I LIKE MINE WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND GOAT CHEESE AND PESTO-----WITH THE MULTIGRAIN CRUST----SO YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Bagzoid, take a little old antique pallet to the shop and plop yer sick younguns on it. Why not? The shoppers should all have had their shots prior to arriving in Canadia.
I want Lahonny to come back, too, but she's mean I tell you. Self-centered. Bossy. WE are opposites. TPBM would not buy pirated software. |
That oughta bring her back.
|
True. About the pirated thing, not about Lushy. I gladly accept pirated software as gifts, though. :o
Lush needs an incentive to post regularily. What can we offer her? And yes, Lush, - Wong. He was (and still is) Chinese and just cute as a button. Now runs some kind of a wilderness resort with scary things like kayaks, wind surfing and organic food. Peachy, does ds really, really want you to go? If he doesn't care, you should stay home and save yourself some annoyance. Are you depressed about ds going away or just about effin' life in general? I tend to have a small grey cloud hanging over my head at all times, but sometimes the sun manages to peek through. Wish we could make you feel better. *scuttles off to buy a card and a loooooong necklace* Well, the units are back from Maui and they had an awful time, as per usual. Awful time in Mexico, awful time in Cuba and awful time in Hawaii. What else is new? Dad says they may as well just stay home where there aren't so many d*mn people running around. Mummy got a rash on her arm just after they arrived on the island and it grew and grew until they finally figured out that it was shingles. Ugh. She's had it a couple of times before but not for years. Brought on by all the rushing around doing unnecessary stuff before they went on vacation. Excellent. And then Mummy e mails me forwarding a mail she got from my English cousin who's living in Switzerland with her French boyfriend. Apparently the two of them are not getting on very well lately and Mummy thinks I should give this lovely girl some words of wisdom since I've been married for about a hundred years and know everything. Me??? Words of relationship wisdom??? That's a good one! Besides, I hardly know this cousin and would't she think it was weird if I just pop in and offer her advice after reading an e mail that was meant for someone else? We're going to the animal shelter tomorrow and may come home with a dog. Or not. I don't know. I love dogs, but the thought of running around after yet another living creature is kind of freaking me out. Would be a good reason to get me out walking, though. Didn't exercise today but thought seriously about it. This was actually the first day I've felt relatively normal since before Christmas. Must be the spring air. TPBM has gained 4 lbs in the last month. |
True! I know I already posted today, but that TPBM was meant for me, I just know it.
Sugar, that was 3 good vacations wasted on the parental units. They should have just sent you. I'm sure you would have had a wonderful time. How hard is it to have a wonderful time in Hawaii???? Can you tell how lonely I am today by how many times I keep popping back here? TPBM keeps track of all her old boyfriends from kindergarten on up. |
False. There's that one that's probably a serial killer... so I lay low... And another no longer has email. So. I make myself happy with DH.
Peachy... I'd concoct something way cool to do and tell ex H that HE can do the chaufeur duty, or tell DS that HE can make the arrangements and you and DS can meet up later and compare notes on the evening. That way he knows you CARE, but that you HAVE A LIFE! It was different when DS, ExH, DH, ExBest Friend (ExH's new-ish wife) were all out of state for DS's graduation from college. We sucked it up and had brunch... on Mother's Day no less... but it actually was sort of like old times. The men (all 3) talked SF and physics. ExBestFr and I talked business, politics and feminism... Weird, but tolerable. Sug... I hope you didn't inherit the make-yourself-miserable-on-vacation gene. (My MIL had shingles around Christmas. It's one thing to get fat out of self sabotage... but that doesn't really "hurt", ya know? Shingles really hurt. Sorry for your mom even if she's managing to bring it on herself. Surely SHE's been married longer than you and can give her OWN advice to cousin!! OK. I'm off to the weird news of the evening. Any thoughts about "Futile attempts at prolonging life" in Florida? TPBM wants her own store to sell neat stuff, too. |
Nah, I don't think I'm the sales type. I just want to go visit it and buy things.
I have kept up with one old bf way more than the others; we were friends before we dated and we are still good friends. The others, I know some of what has happened to most of them, have seen a couple of them in the years since--the artist, the lawyer--but not really actively keeping up with them. The majority of them I think I'd rather forget. Although there are a couple I am curious about -- are they still good looking? Are they successful, married, have kids, happy? It's all very intriguing, but not worth making a fool of myself over -- not a one of those do I regret leaving behind. Originally Posted by Cowpernia: Anyway, sorry you're depressed. Me too. My life depresses me even when I'm not depressed. Let's all feel better. DD got her prom dress today. I took a few pics of her trying it on. I will post one in a bit. I think you should not go to the get-together, especially not just because you are there and don't want to come back to get DS. I think you should drop him off and then go do something you enjoy. If it were me, I would go to a movie or something, but I like going to movies alone, and that would depress some people. This is why he needs his drivers license; so you don't have to see Herbie. Congrats on the baseboard Wabbit. Our house is like that; there are all these places that are not quite finished the way they ought to be. Some of it is our laziness, some of it the people before us neglected. We had a big old "discussion" yesterday, DH and I, about the house and his job and all this crap. It was depressing. I was depressed before it and I'm still depressed. DH however is energized to get going on the house. Well, that's good, anyway. I hope it lasts more than 3 seconds. Originally Posted by Bagzz: Yes, we still have lots of snow. It is starting to melt, roofs are clearing, sidewalks are getting bare, but the snowbanks are huge and not going away any time soon. DD and her friend went cross-country skiing yesterday in the woods. The trail was fine. There is still ample snowshoeing from my house. Not being near the ocean, this stuff just stays and stays. Hopefully DD won't have to wear snowboots under her prom dress in May. :lol: Originally Posted by SugP: You asked for it: rant alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, you had to bring up the Fla. woman, Painty--and I can't let it go without comment! That case is so sad. I can't help but feel that the parents are deluding themselves into thinking if only they were the ones taking care of her, she would get better. Obviously if the doctors thought there was a chance of that, they would not all be signing off on this. And the poor guy who has had to look like the mean "ex" for trying to put the poor woman out of her misery; he's been in an awful position too. Surely if he didn't honestly think she would not want to hang on this way, he would just divorce her and let her family do what they want? Or has this gotten to the point of entrenched stubbornness on both sides and there is no way to know what's right? The only thing that is so not right is Congress getting in the middle of this. That is the most cynical thing I've ever heard and they should be ashamed of themselves. And just because he's so at the center of this kind of stupidity, I am going to post another really stupid Bush quote: "One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected." -- GDubyaB, Los Angeles, September 27, 2000. After which intelligent statement, we elected him the leader of our country. :rolleyes: Kiwi |
Good grief I'm long winded!
You have to see this, it's unbelievable. I'm thinking of putting our family's No Monsters sign up for sale, that dd made when she was tiny. TPBM was terrified of monsters under her bed. Kiwi |
kiwonk!! that ebay thing has to be some kind of joke! did you see the other stuff she is selling for a dollar????crazy !!!-----------
|
I don't get the whole thing, Kiwi. She's been this way since she was 25 and is now 40. How long were they married? He's with someone else now and .. do they have a child? I think so but not sure. I don't see why he doesn't bow out and leave her to her parents.
|
found this:
"I'm going to follow Terri's wish if it's the last thing I do," Schiavo told King, who had difficulty challenging any of Schiavo's assertions and was surprised to learn he had fathered a child with his girlfriend. Schiavo failed to tell him a second child is on the way." I wouldn't think, from that, that he would be the person most interested in Terri's well being. This is not to say that I think he's wrong. I don't know. If I were Terri, though, I'd want my parents making the decisions. |
Well, to some extent I agree with you about her parents being her best advocates. But on the other hand, why is he so determined to fight for this? It can't be because he wants to "get on with his life" because he's already done that. Unless there's some gigantic monetary settlement involved that I've never heard of, it has to be either pure stubbornness or that he very genuinely believes he's doing the right thing for her.
