Bovines Bathing in Bikinis or Moo Moos
 

seems apropo as we enter the summer...Thank LandsEnd for Tankinis!..

Shots, is your puter bigger than mine? We were on page 9 when you said page 4.

I hate ants.

Howdy!

Can I join the herd? I've been reading thru your thread: "Hugh Heiffers Divine Bovines CenterFoals" and I've gotta tell ya, you get my vote for most udderly hilarious group on 3FC!:D

You need to change your amount of posts per page, Peach. Mine said page 4 too.

I luuuuv your thread title, Schatz. You're so clever.

Oh, Miss Peachy, don't you worry none. Bigger and better things await you. I'm sure of it. It is hard to be supervised by idiots, though isn't it?

I'm sorta panicking. I think I'm starting to experience some ms symptoms again. I woke up in the middle of the night w/ the most horrible vertigo. Laying flat on my back in bed, I felt like I had a very bad case of the whirlies like I'd downed a couple bottles of wine, but I hadn't. This has been happening on and off for a month or so, but no where near this bad. The good news is that it gets better when I'm upright. Just a little dizzy now. Yikes. I suppose this is the source of my bone tiredness lately too. I suppose I should be happy I don't have any really nasty symptoms, but I'm finding it hard to be grateful.

We're going to the beach this weekend, in our motorhome. The daughter and son-il of our friend who recently died have a beach house close by where the rv park is. They're going to be there this weekend too, so I suppose DH will be off fishing w/ the son-il for part of the weekend. I plan on lots of reading and sleeping.

I hate ants too, Peach. Some of those little sugar ants had made a line in the back door to the dog food bowl. Gross. I cleaned it out and washed the floor and so far they've disappeared. so far.

The geo-tech guys from the house development company who is buying our place wants to come and dig up around where our old home heating oil tank is in the ground (to test for soil contamination). It also happens to be under my nicest flower bed. DH said "those plants are like my wife's babies - you'd better not mess them up". I'm so glad he's threatening ppl for my plants.

Lordy, this is a depressing post.

Good night Nurse! Tell us about yerself.

Hi Nurse!!!! yes yes tell us about yerself!!!!

Wabby!? I am most concerned about this horizontal whirling!!! Have you been checked for MS?? I get the same thing once or twice each year...cept when I stand. I was checked for all kinds of stuff that resulted in the " middle ear imbalance" Dx.. which means they haven't a clue! Perhaps you have something similar?? On a less depressing note, Rving to the Beach sounds Deeeevine! What are you planning to read? I am bout a quarter the way through the last book in the Dark Tower series.. yehaw... I guess reality is setting in now that the Big Muckity Company is trouncing about eh?

Peachie-- I was thinking bout you yesterday as I "t-rexed" my shopping cart..ah, :rofl: that phrase still CRacks me up!!!
My life has gotten soooo boring since I moved here - sucks with all my friends being so far away... my pityparty for the day..... I spent the better part of yesterday pulling weeds... how exxxxxxciting :yawn:

Well, I am considering enrolling in on-line programs to get my Program Management cert...And need to re-acquaint myself with Excel and Microsoft Project... I a fear I'm getting rusty!

Where is Kiwi??? Kiwi report in....Bagzilla??????? Sugarpie????????? Cherry???
We've got a new cow :moo: to interogate...:lol:

I was chucklin to myself as I food shopped yesterday..thinkin, ya know yer getting old when you completely bypassed the aisles with make up, hair adornments, etc -- and head for the "first aid" aisle to fill yer cart with bengay, tylenol, tums, pepcid, and Gas-X.....

Okay, I'll tawk ta myself then....

Let's see: :chin: I'm tired of tawking bout myself... I just finished two cover letters for my resume... :blah: :blah: Look at how wonderful I am!!! Look at what I can do for youuuuuuuu.... while I'm not what you would consider shy , real humble , retiring or introverted...this self promotion churns me tummy a bit. I am sooooooo bloooooody booooooored at home :yawn: ( I mean, come on cows, look at my last few posts! Sheesh, it looks like all I do is clean, or buy products to clean... .and Jeeze Louise, while I like a clean home, I was never so focused on this crap...) anyhoo, I've tried joining meals on wheels...they just want my money to buy wheels or meals, I tried this book club-- unfortunately they focus on christian lit or the bible--- which is ok but not for me... and I aint a church goer... so, no joining a congregation... however, I have gone on ocassion to Duke's chapel... I find it calming, loverly ...so, I plod away ... looking for a job that
1) do not require travel - commuting or otherwise
2) do not require relocation
3) has benefits and pays decent...

and nothin excites me... or requires the "do nots" above... Crappity Crap... any ideas???


I guess I wasn't tired of tawkin alll about meeeeee afterall ! :lol3:

I'm tawking about Shots too then. Go join the Garden Club. In the Garden Club, you will find people who garden on Sunday becasue they aint church goers neitehr and they'll be interesting to you. Go to the book store and hang out. Meet the owners, workers. t-rex around the grocery store and find people who buy odd food. Tawk to 'em. (frozen Thai meals, piles of root veggies, 50 lbs. of carrots)

That's all the ideas I got.

lcp has been bringing me lunch at work. I'm trying to get ds to encourage her to stop. It's so sweet but she's paying for it (not him I think) and I'd just rather she didn't.

I'm taking a poll. Everyone answer. When you were in high school, were you requied to memorize something that you still remember in entirely? For me it was a verse from Vachel Lindsey's "The Congo." Some people got Shakesperare or the Preamble of the Constitution. I don't think DS had memorize anything. Too bad maybe.

Ok, I'll tell the herd about myself....
Disclaimer: post may cause excessive drowsiness...yawn....
It may put you to sleep but it beats Ambien 'cause it won't cause sleep-eating! Yep, Ambien is now being blamed for a lady gaining over 100lbs due to sleep-eating!

Ok, back to me! I'm a 38y.o. happily married cow, married to the :love:bull of my dreams. (Good dreams, not nightmares!) No calves, yet, but hoping that the ovaries still know what to do---I think they have dementia at their age!

I live in Birmingham, Alabama but was born and reared in New Orleans, Louisiana. Thankfully, I left a few years before Katrina!

I am a nurse and am currently unemployed--by choice. I'm in the process of returning to school but I'm still not sure what I wanna be when I grow up....
Probably an accountant. I just LOVE the excitement of accounting......yawn.

I love reading, gardening, cooking AND eating!

I've struggled with my weight ALL of my life. Started out in plus-sized pampers and grew up and out from there. I've managed to lose weight several times, but it keeps FINDING me again and it usually brings friends!
I'm currently about 30lbs from goal.

Ok, are ya still awake?!??! :yawn: Hmmm.....I'll try not to overdose ya!

Plus size Pampers??? heeee! I like you, you can stay.

Schatzy, I do have ms, just don't usually have symptoms. Whirlies are only slightly whirly now. I think your ideal job would be working at a big hotel, doing the bookings for weddings and conventions. Doesn't that sound fun? I'm always wishing I could stay home, but I know I would go nutz after a bit. Why don't you start your own business doing something?? I think it would be fun to start up restaurants, get them all up and running, then sell them to somebody else to run. The first one would be a little cafe. Cozy. The menu would be 50's comfort food and the name would be The Comfort Cafe. Even better, Schatz, why don't you open it?

I read Nursie's Bio as Plus sized tampons... depends + ovaries + a shot of shotz = pontoon size = which translates to tampon. Yay! :cp: Nursie and her depends are ok in my book!

Wabbina I d.i.d N.o.t know you had Dx of Ms... I am sooo happy that it seems to be at bay ... but now I worry... hmmm, you've given me food for thought on this... I absolutely looooove planning events and themes for events.. and love to run everybody around (heh, heh: I useta be Programmers nightmare.. I would say "make it so Number one" -ah they looved me and hated me :s: ). I've gots lots of experience running large events..not weddings mind you but parades, and wet downs (not t shirts) and corporate retirements and corporate conferences... perhaps..... must put in hopper and let stew!

Cowie :lol3: you really ought to write dahlink, I find you hilarryass..not to be confused with a hairyass... I was forced to memorize 4 score and 7 years ago...our fathers brought forth upon this blippity blah... (Lincoln's Proclamation... and " Romeo ohhhh Romeo where for art thou ... Here I is! "( Our Gang, Darla and Stymie..or maybe Buckwheat..)

Long day. Scout day camp. Two kids were extraordinarily troublesome. Also it was hot. And full of people who like to stand around in the sun. Not me-- I get heat exhaustion when it's above 80.

I'm trying to remember what I had to memorize that I still know. Play scripts. Popular songs. I know the entire movie "Breakfast Club" by heart.

Hello Nursie!

Wabby- sorry about your ms symptoms. My advisor has that. She has to take a nasty shot every week. But she had it a long time before she was diagnosed, so by the time they figured out what it was, she was pretty far along.

We're still wogging. Tomorrow is questionable though. Depends on if I can still feel my feet after today. Luckily, tomorrow is a lot of sitting and discussing the crisis in LIS education. Any opinions, Painty?

Peachy, have you done that resume yet? It's very bad to work with people who make bad accusations.

Hello Kiwi, Sug P, Baggzziiee, Schatzi, & all.

Oh, someone asked how I got DH to wog with me. A lot of it is just that I'm gone so much that it's one of the few times we can be alone together. Plus, although he doesn't like to run, he's always been pretty good at it and it is an efficient way to get fit. I've heard.

really Peachtreee, am I that odd? :crazy: I guess you have made some observations about the folks based on their produce purchases eh? Please share or is this a way to infiltrate the wheels on meals chapter serving the asian community ....

Peach, why would you want lcp to quit bringing you lunch?

Wogging sounds like so much more fun than jogging. Wogging. wogging. I like it.

Wogging is more fun than jogging. And not nearly as intimidating as jogging. How can you take something called "wogging" so seriously?

what the **** is WOGGING??? can i do it???---we have a nature park here that some of my friends RUN through---i won't go with them unless they WALK!!----i am afraid of getting left behind and lost in the woods --i can only run for about a minute!!!----Greetings YOUNG NURSE----are you sure you want to hang around a bunch of dark,menopausal cows with only one green shoe between them???? if so,you are more than welcome---we used to scare people away from us but then we got too slack and became nicer.{ one more question----are you sure you are not Dusty Rose???-----she is still trying to find us and get us for ruining her chance to get on Oprah}ohhhhh ---i blather on and never bother to learn how to make paragraphs or do any html-----today at the shop i found TWO atrofied mice in the back cupboard---i knew it smelled weird in those cupboards so i just stayed out of them------HOW GROSS IS THAT!!!! WORSE THAN ANTS,I'LL WAGER!------WABBY!!! ---I don't think i was aware of the ms either----what a great girl you are--i would be complaining about that non-stop----hopefully this annoying dizziness will soon go away!!!!!------shatzi---i like all wabby's ideas for you,but don't forget how rich MISS FLY LADY got and she is a cleanie like you!!!!------i gotta get to bed---more mice to hunt for in the morning!!!

Wogging is walking-jogging. Just jog til you get tired then walk until you're ready to jog again.

We're not THAT dark and menopausal. Sugar P and I are very cheery and bright. :-)

Dusty Rose. What a nightmare.

Sooo no one other than Shots wants to tawk about what they memorized in high school even though I was so curious and asked nicely.

Bagz you have cats. Are they tied up?

Cher, you are dark and menopausal. Do you think that's bad? It has been the center of my self-concept for many years. Also, I suspect you have the other green shoe.

Shots, not sayiing you're odd but saying that people who buy odd things have interesting reasons and think differently than those you are meeting regularly. The carrots are for horses or juice. I am being helpful.

Hi Nurse. Last I heard, Birmingham was covered in dust from the steel mill. Do they have a steel mill or am I hallucinating?

Remind me where Kiwi is.

Wabbo, I didn't know about you either and you should be made boss of Shot's life. Poof. You're boss.

I am hungry. Must go.

Peachez, I started to answer you about what I remember from hi-skool, but a customer came in and I had to go----that's what happens to all my best posts, by the way---ok, I remember things like how yummy the pizza was at Pietro's Pizza Parlor on Friday nites after the football game. I remember that DH's jersey number was 42. I don't remember much about what I actually learned in class---that's probably why I'm sitting here in this office, bored out of my gourd today. ---- thanks for making me boss-- I always say I'm the bosses boss around here.

Bagzie, there's a dead mouse stretched out on the floor under the stairs to my basement. I've asked DH to dispose of him several times, but no luck. This is a teensy mouse, by the way, not a huge-o rat like last winter. I still refuse to dispose of him, anyway, that's why I keep a man around.

I thought I'd mentioned the ms before- I pretty much don't think about it because it's been so many years since I've had major symptoms. I got an mri about 5 years ago, and my brain still looks like swiss cheese (explains a lot of things) but it's not causing me problems, except the whirlies this week. I also have glaucoma, but you knew that --- the good news is that I seldom get colds or flu and I have no allergies. If I'm going to get something, I like it to be something dramatic.

I guess I'm going to have to go read Sugar's blog if I want to know what's happening with her. whine.

Miss Cherry pie is not dark and menopausal. --- she's sunny and pre menopausal.

The motorhome is packed and we're ready to go -- DH has made his lists and checked them twice --- he's soooooo organized about things like that. You'd think we were heading off into the wilderness for a month, not a full service rv park with cable tv and everything for 2 days. :dizzy: Have a good weekend cowsies.

"Osmosis is the process by which the dilute solution,water,passes through cell walls and the root hairs to the concentrated solution,the cell sap." Grade Seven,Sister O'Neils science class.St Patrick's Catholic School. THATS all i have Peachers!!!!--she went up and down the aisles until every last kid could rhyme that off. ---cherry,you and sugar are YOUNGER than us ----- that makes me even darker and more menopausie-------------stop being so young!!! sugar is at least forty now---CAN YOU CLAIM THAT GLORY FOR YOURSELF!!!!---------SUCH JOY AND EXCITEMENT!!!--- i must try wogging through the park===could be fun!!

I am so innocent. I am reading about osmosis and cell walls and hair and thinking, "ants don't have hair." I thought you had given me the secret to killing antsssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.. why why oh why didn't you???EXXXplain??? You know how. You are a genious.

You know who I miss? Carrie. Wasn't she older than me???

Carrie was overweight and had boils and calluses-----------i just got a message from Kiwonk-----------she wants us to know she is SWAMPED!!! with visitors and THE PARTY!!!---IT'S THIS WEEKEND AND HER MOTHER IS VISITING!!!=== so she sends her love and will be back with a full report ASAP!!!!----peachers!!---i really DID get rid of the ants---i used the full blown poison and put it everywhere and threw the cats in the basement!!!---i don' think they would eat it anyway but just in case---i put it all along the door jams and around the cubooards----------it really did work!

What full blown poison?

Do u remember that story about the wolf that swallowed some sheep or something and the boy cut the wolf open, removed the sheep and replaced a big rock in his tummy? do you think it's possible that someone has replaced my frozen South Beach Diet chicken dinner with a beach ball? We have lots of beach balls around here.

We now have Russian and South American people at work. It's so cute to see the Russian girls saying, "Ai yi yi."

Back to the ants. They come in behind the kitchen appliances. There's holes back there, I guess, for water pipes and such and they sneak up. I picture my whole hole collapsing into a big ant hill underground condo.

I findally found one person older than me and she had boils. Figures. No wonder I'm so bitter.

DID SHE HAVE A GOITER??-------- the ant poison was just the commercial stuff you get at the hardware store--not the ant traps---some kind of tube i think--you just squeeze it into the cracks---------we get ants every summer and it always works-----------of course it's toxic and whatnot and i probably have blood poisoning----I GUESS WE JUST HAVE TO "CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE" WHEN WE COMPLAIN ABOUT AGEING----THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD DO!!! and look out for impending boils!!

The alternative to ageing is sitting on the right side (or is it left?) of our Lord.

I think she had a goiter. She had cows or sheep or some kind of farm. She probably knitted and dyed her hair brown and had one kid who went to college and two cats.

I am just blah blah. Feel behind on everything and crave chocolate. There is none in the house or else DS hid it. He's at the beach with lcp. I was invited!!! I said, "You think I'd put on a bathing suit and go to the beach with you?" He, "Why not?" Since working in the store which in near the beach and seeing how people dress, I really really will be more careful. Yesterday was an older, attractive woman in a swimming suit with a towel around her butt. Not good. Undignified.

Bagz, when are we getting Kiwi's DVD? Nag her.

i can't bother her on party night!!--can't wait to hear about the party---did you know that when your kids get older {like MINE} they do whatever they want no matter if you like it or not---AND they might want you to like what they are doing but even if you DON'T ----they do it anyway-----i keep finding this out time and time again!!!--------i think i already said peach-- i LOVE It when older people dress inappropriately ---it makes delicious chat.

I have no excuse
 

I am not dead. Just been busy. Yes, me, busy. Now I am not so busy any more so I can post. I have absorbed all yer posts by osmosis and will comment later. It is boiling hot here all of a sudden. I do not like to sweat.

Carrie used to make fried bologna sandwiches for everyone so that puts her pretty near the top of my People to Know list. AND she once sat beside Art Linkletter on a plane. I want to know what happened to Sheba and Hoochie Mama and Letty and Marcella and CRAZY MOM and Raul. But not Dusty. She was toooo scary.

Forgot to say hi to nurse! I am not cheery and bright like Cherry, I just appear that way on screen to save you all a lot of grief. I am actually as dark and menopausal as the rest of 'em.

Hi everybody!

Thanks for the nice welcomes! I like this dark menopausal thread crawling with ANTZ with an occassional dead mouse thrown in! What more entertainment could I possibly want?!?!

Peachez~I've been straining my brain trying to recall what I recall from hi-skool. Not much, I'm afraid. I did take Spanish for 3 years and I DO recall every cuss word in spanish but not much else. Oh, I can say "hello" but after that I only know profanity. Sad, what selective memory I have.

Wabby~I hope the whirlies have left you alone!

Schatzi~Meals on wheels turned you down for volunteer work?!?!? The MOW here is SO desperate for help to distribute their FINE meals. When my car was in the shop, they offered me a skate board to run my route. If you have a pulse, any kind of wheels and don't carry an uzi they won't turn you down for volunteer work. So, next time, maybe leave the uzi at home?

Cherrycow~I'm glad to know a cheerful cow! Even your name sounds cheerful! I thought wogging was the way hobbits with hemorrhoids move. I like your definition much better.

Bagzz~thanks for the mental challenge! (Ok, I was mentally challenged already but you added to it!) I'm still tryin to find out what aprongutarse means!

SupP~I'm SO glad you're "not dead". I've already read about several dead mice. I couldn't stand to think of your avatar stretched out dead in a basement somewhere.

Cowpernia~"Hi Nurse. Last I heard, Birmingham was covered in dust from the steel mill. Do they have a steel mill or am I hallucinating?" You may be hallucinating, I don't know you well enuff to judge. What steel mill?!??! I thought it was my darn neighbor roasting a pig or something.

I hope everybodys having a festive weekend! My weekend? well, I'm scraping paint off of my front porch rails---on a ladder, in 95 degree heat! WOOHOO! what FUN!

Nursie, I am going to help you because I am the nicest one here. Peaches and Cowpernia are both me. It's ok if you get confused. Just NEVER NEVER decide to straighten us out by making some kind of filing system with facts. That is too scary and Dusty did it already.

Here is the steel mill in Birmingham stuff. No one else needs to look as it is dull but I am also from Alabama and I knew I'd heard this.

I am glad you have quickly picked up that Shots has an uzi. You knew she was from Joisey and you put two and two together. Excellent work!

Dinosaur = ancient.
Apron gut = you know.

Tell me about scraping paint. I need to that stuff and have never done it and am afraid to start.

Sugar, you are perfect and I LOVE your memories of Carrie. How did we loose her? When we can't loose weight, we can loose people? This makes no sense.

I am back. We have a bat in the bedroom. :eek:

I had to memorize several speeches from Julius Caesar. I don't remember more than a few lines now, though. I also remember memorizing the entire text of Father William, although that was probably a lot earlier than high school. I don't think they do that at all anymore.

Hi Kids. I've emerged. I am now the parent of an adult child I guess. It actually feels a little different. What a weekend. The party was AWESOME! I couldn't believe how well it turned out, especially after the way the day started. I woke up to DH asking where the remote for the TV in the kitchen was -- the big slideshow we've been working was going to be shown on the dvd player, through this little tv, but he couldn't find the original remote and couldn't get the dvd player to play through it without the remote. I told him where I thought it was, he spent a long time looking, then I got up (:shrug:) and looked too. After way too long a time, during which I was supposed to be doing 10 other things, I found it exactly where I'd told him. Except for the advanced looking-for-something-technique of picking up something in a drawer and looking under it. :rolleyes:

Meanwhile we were having heavy rain, the dog had to be persuaded to go out to pee etc., ddbf came over and he and DD started inflating balloons in the living room. It took me 4 tries to get the dog to take care of business; each time I let her out I got wetter and I swear the rain came down harder. It was starting to look like a monsoon. Naturally while we were in a panic about not being able to use the tv, the ceiling started leaking. Once I found the remote, I was able to start on my stuff, though, so things started to progress, in spite of having to take the time to get buckets out for the leaks because they were too big for just little bowls. So, we're humming along here, balloons popping every now and then, I'm cutting up veggies, DH is doing I don't know what, and the power goes out. Yes, very convenient. Now, we don't have water when the power goes out because we have a well, so all I have is the soapy water in the dishpan and a big bowl I was using to rinse veggies. DH and I both need showers; we call my mother at the motel to let her know we are coming over for showers somewhere in between getting everything ready, and going to the other party where we planned to eat lunch (ya gotta take advantage of these opportunities when they're presented, y'know). Oy. Almost 2 hours later, we are almost ready and the stupid power comes back on. Well, that's a good thing, but it's still raining cats and dogs while we load the truck with coolers (count 'em: 5 coolers!) full of ice and drinks and food, my Explorer with food, decorations, TV, dvd player, paper supplies etc., ddbf's van with all the balloons. We send dd and bf to pick up my mother and take her to the first party so she can get some lunch, while DH and I get our showers at home. I have to move the dog's pen (we're talking a big, heavy thing) because she's under the leak and we have to leave her home. We get drenched every time we go outside, and inundated with mosquitoes. I have to go pick up the cake, which fortunately fits in the only available space in my car: the front passenger seat. Then we all show up at this kid's party, with our loaded cars, and partake of the first round of party food, after which we hightail it out of there and go to the bowling alley and unload everything, sending dd and bf on to more parties with strict instructions to show up at 4 pm!

It never stopped raining until well after the party started, but the party was a huge success!! We ordered pizzas from our favorite restaurant, directly across the street from the bowling alley, so we had a steady stream of them, and we had loads of other food. The slideshow was perfect and some people sat and watched it over and over and over (my mother...). I covered a wall with dozens of DD's early pictures and stories, which came out nicely. And people BOWLED!!! We had most of the lanes going the whole time -- from 4 PM to almost 8 PM! Everyone had a great time. We bought some 13 pizzas I think. The guy behind the counter who gave out shoes didn't give us a final count on people who bowled but it was at least 40! Which means that there were probably more people at this party than I invited!! Although there weren't any that I didn't recognize, except for some grandparents that came along with families that I invited. It was huge and fun, and DD beamed the whole time, and bowled with her friends and played pool with ddbf's grandmother and talked to everybody and raked in some awesome loot as well. I'll tell you, it surprised me and DH, but it was great. We were so tired we practically fell over on our feet, but it was worth it.

Oh yeah, and graduation was nice today too...... Miss Valedictorian, who is always so casual and comfortable on stage (on Friday at Class Day, she performed in 4 numbers without a hitch), got up to do her speech and got all choked up! Never in my life have I seen her do that, it was really something else. She had a bit of trouble getting through the first part of her speech, but laughed herself through it until she could talk better and did quite well. Her speech was truly from the heart. Her friend who did the first salutatorian speech did a flawless job, beautifully spoken with not a hitch (she is the type to rehearse until it's perfect and it was), and BF who is always nervous as **** did an absolutely excellent job. The class president then made a hilarious and very lovely speech that had the whole gym laughing. But DD's was the most touching for its sincerity, no question. Can't help but be proud of her. She raked in some more scholarships too, and looked smashing to boot. She's at the overnight Chem-Free party now and it's my turn to be choked up telling you all about it!

Probably ought to get to bed -- I told my mother I'd come over to the motel and go swimming in the morning! Night all!

Kiwi

Whoooo Kiwi! - That sounds SO fun. We need to vote you Supreme Party Organisatrix or something. Isn't it amazing how you think nothing's going to fall into place and then it turns out to be fabulous? AND I swear we're married to the same man. He can't find a thing even if it's right under his nose.

Stuff I remember from high school:

1.


2. something or other has a large surface area in relation to volume

3. interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

4. H2O + CO2 = CH2O + O2

That's about it. And I don't know if I have every used any of these nuggets of wisdom ever again. Schools should teach stuff like how to scrape paint.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KIWI--- i got all choked up when i read about your dear ,sweet dd getting all choked up!!! what wonderful memories for you all---this has been a great year,hasn't it---with a fabulous finish!!! peach and i still want dvd's of your talented performer ---i want my dd's to hear her too!!! i love the hilarious {in retrospect} start to your day--as you know we have the same weather and the golf tournament the dh was supposedly in got postponed for sure-----the last three weeks have been insane with rain---there are slugs all over the garden,the weeds are three feet high!!-----anyway---so glad everything worked out so well with your divine Valedictorian and congratulations on the scholarships!!---does she have a summer job lined up??? dd has hardly worked at all with this weather {golfcart girl!!}--------hi sugars---glad to hear you have such a grand memory----mine is faded with holes in it!------------nursiecow---my gut is like an apron and it hangs loose like an old arse.

Nursie, let me set you straight re: Bagz. I've seen pictures of her and she is slim. I know, as shameful as that is, she just needs to admit it. Does Birmingham still have a big statue that moons ppl? Vulcan? and the Talladegha Speedway?

Kiwi!!!! What a wonderful ending to DD's illustrious high school career! How did you keep yourself from sobbing out loud when DD was giving her speech? How touching! and your party for her sounded wonderful. I bet it was the hit of the grad party circuit.

The beach was sunny and warm. We ate and slept a lot. We visited our friends - their house is just down the beach and up a steeeep huge flight of stairs. They are only in their early 30's and they have a beach house that's nicer and newer than anything we've ever lived in. Apparently they have more energy and ambition than DD or I have ever had.

I've got to work. really I do.

I am so proud of Kiwidd ... she will represent us well in the world. I say make her an honorary cow. She and Bagz and Wabbo will be the boney maroney cows.

I forgot to tell youz that I figured out how to make a man do domestic chores. Put them in a tin can on wheels. DD cleaned our leetle RV home (complete w/ vacuuming w/ his miniature vacuum cleaner), he made the bed and he cooked me a steak dinner, and he even did the dishes. I sat in the lawn chair and read a book. As I was sitting there, it occurred to me "this is what it's like to be DH." :queen:

LOL, Wabby!!! Maybe we should all move into motor homes and start living a life of luxury? :D

Did anyone notice that I loosed a few pounds? I'm so tired of being fat. My shorts are squeezing me in unpleasant places.

Any tips for us sugar? I would like to loose those pounds too. Same ones. Woman came through my line buying weird food and told me her doctor told her to go on the blood type diet. I looked at it. I'm type A so I get veggies and snails and game meat. That alone could knock those pounds right off as I wouldn't eat.

Such a headache I have. Yesterday I had to go to work at 6:30 which meant waking at 4:30 and it ruined the day and made me ill.

How'd you loose the weight?
