YES! She has mentioned this since we've been back from our holiday..... . .. she was wondering if you could use Will's hockey stick and take some shots at her. True!

Take some shots at her?????

Sounds kinda rough.....she does have those super duper goalie pads, though..

Actually a cute sweater and possibly a muff is more what I was thinking

[blueeyedmanda]

My kitty is still sick, so we will be making a Vet appointment tomorrow.....poor kitty!

Jen and I took a ride to see the house tonight I really wanted her to get to see it....we were walking around the back and the basement door, the inside door was open, which was closed yesterday....there were no cars around the property but still it was scary so we left.....it didnt appear that anyone was inside but we weren't going in to check it out either!

But if you have a little extra cash, this is available

Or we could all chip in

Dear God! How do you live there?! I love the second one, how it is "an affordable entry-level property," for $300,000. And what the phark is a yurt?

My sister's eldest is believed to have been conceived in a yurt. They used to call him Yurtle.

((((sigh)))...........We will....... . .there's not a hope against the American Powerhouse.

When is it? Thursday morning? Friday morning?

[Green12]

How about Sprouts? Loved that store in AZ & I think CO has some.

I think since the Winter Games have that skiing/shooting biathlon, the Summer Games should have Horseback Archery!

(No dismount to shoot tho . ..full gallop, like the movies )

No Sprouts in my immediate area anyway. There are Sunflower Markets, but eh.....jury is still out on that one.

Horseback Archery Good idea!!! And they might as well synchronize every sport: synchronized gymnastics, synchronized fencing, synchronized tennis, synchronized boxing......they sky is the limit on synchronizing everything!!

That is so awesome to be able to do something that you LOVE, and to make a difference Sounds like a work out too, who knew signing was a form of Svenning

And what the phark is a yurt?

Okay, okay, I've stopped laughing.....

http://www.tamegoeswild.com/photos/copperm...ia/our_yurt.webp

Yurts are in Yeti country, no?

.....or are all me sillies too uppity refined to hear a little prophanity?

I don't think prophanity is beneath this crew

My sister's eldest is believed to have been conceived in a yurt. They used to call him Yurtle.

That is so cute!

I must confess my favorite Dr Suess book was Yurtle the Turtle.

[tom]

Em, I didn't hear yet when we meet on the pitch. [drat! Nikerler's not here to see I know what to call a soccer field]

Who knows how it'll go? You guys tied mighty China & we're missing Abby Wambaugh.

No Sprouts in my immediate area anyway. There are Sunflower Markets, but eh.....jury is still out on that one.

Oops I think I misremembered .. .used to go to both in AZ.

I liked Sunflower a lot - kinda Whole Foodsish w/ better prices.

......the sky is the limit on synchronizing everything!!

Yurts are in Yeti country, no?

OH!! Good call

So here's some not-so-good news for me. Roommate's probably going to move in w/ his girlfriend in a couple months.

I won't mind being somewhere else as much as having to pack & move EVERYthing .. . .. again.

[curlyfries]

Ugh!....moving!......gotta hate it! That's when you always find out who you're real friends are

........and how did I ever get to this age and not once have I ever heard mention of a YURT !

If you want to read a really uplifting/tear-jerker gluten free success story, go to......Could Undiagnosed Celiac Lead to Rage/Mood Swings?.......and read Len's post.

Sarah.... .. this is a fantastic sentence.

:lol: Indeed it is. Hi Sarah! so sorry you're not feeling well.

........and how did I ever get to this age and not once have I ever heard mention of a YURT !

I briefly dated a guy who lived in his beautiful, custom-built redwood yurt in Big Sur. Some of you may recall, he was the one who went "hiking" once a week, deep into the Ventana Wilderness. He was unreachable for 24 hours during those times........after a few weeks I did find out the reason for this "hiking" - - he and his partner were tending their marijuana crops. Yes, that's right, he grew and sold marijuana. Yes, I dated (for about three weeks) a drug-dealing, yurt-dwelling, stinky Big Sur hippie.

Also - remember his whole crop was raided and eaten by wild pigs. Hence our phrase, "I was as happy as a weed-eating pig."

mygawd, I have dated some really scary, scary people. And I am soooooooo sad to realize taht the last one was the scariest and meanest and cleverest one of all. (Yurt Boy, I have to say, was one of the NICEST men I knew in my whole seven years in Monterey.) See, this weekend there were two horribly disturbing emails from A@@hole - one a group email that included me (I blocked his email after taht); Jenn was so disturbed by the cruelty and insensitivity of taht one that she replied to him about it - the second one was his response to her, that he copied to me. This was why I came unhinged, reading these two things.

I actually feel like the wound has been ripped open again and I am re-grieving.....I have taken soooooo many steps backwards from this.

POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on a lighter note.........my only olympic commentary:

I am soooooooooooooo bored wtih sand volleyball. *yawnface* so bored taht I don't watch it....just have it on in background while I read and wait for something else.

I think I'm going to campaign to have it removed

My apologies to any fans reading along.

[tom]

.. .. ...Hence our phrase, "I was as happy as a weed-eating pig."

Hehehehehe :lol:

I've heard "weed-eating pig" before but never the back-story!!!!

Ummm sowed his crop?

Yurt-dwelling Bud Pharmer should be worth a few pages in The Monterey Years chapters.

I think I'm going to campaign to have it removed

CamPAIGNNNNN???? The Queen of Sillyville campaigns NOT.

She decreeeeeeeeeeees.

You uhhhhhh DO mean just abolishing the fully-clothed men's vball right?

[Rachel--24]

Wow...its pretty shocking what comes up when you do a search on "GlutenEase".

This is my first time in "Silly Land" (or whatever its called)....and I have to say...I find alot of it to be offensive and disrespectful. Here, all this time I thought you guys were having some decent fun. Come to find out alot of these laughs come at the expense of other board members (I guess you "sillies" would refer to them as "the others")!

Lots of violations of board rule #1 going on here!

How "silly" of me not to have reported them a few days ago.....when I found them.

Wow. I'd bet Rachel could tell me how to properly unfurl my hose......

I'm sure she could fix the New Posts button, too

Ummm....I'm sure you can figure out how to unfurl your own hose.

I know zip about the New Post button....however, I think I CAN figure out how to use the "Report" button. In fact, in a short while I should be an expert at it!

Um, Rachel, I have this pain in my left leg. Could you please diagnose me over the forum?

I'm sure I could "diagnose" you with a few things right now....although I dont think any of it would be appropriate for this forum.

Snooort. We're gonna get in trouble, I can feel it in the air....

Ya think???

I know. We're totally gonna get busted for it one 'a these days.

Hmmm.....one 'a these days.

OMG - we are SO going down in phlames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The motley lot of us......alas, notice we NEVER get in trouble? well, that just shows us that......no one really important reads our drivel just us......they're probably too conphuzed by our pspellingz n stuph and......other krap and we know that the occasional lurker just scurries off.........but hey, how COME no one's ever reported us? 'tis one of the great, psillie wonders of the world.......

Yeah....I guess most people are busy trying to get well...or maybe they're more interested in reading about enzymes or sumphthin??

I'm glad I could offer you guys some good laughs though. I mean what good is this board if you cant find a cliquey thread to come into (where "the others" are not welcome) and pretty much make fun of the "other" board members in "private"??

I do love how we discuss our things about other posters here, on the WORLD WIDE WEB - 'snot like anybuddy kan see it er nuttin'

Yeah...'snot like anybuddy's really gonna come into this unproductive thread....'cept for the "sillies" right??

Gotta love the WORLD WIDE WEB...though. 'tis one of the great, psillie wonders of the world.......

I think Patti has probably signed on as the lone moderator for Tickle Me Elbow, kind of like a contract, in order to keep us all on the board.

Sillies, Sillies, Sillies,..... <shaking head sadly>

Dont you know that in order to really be a part of this forum you need to respect ALL members regardless of differing opinions??

Seems some of you have forgotten rule #1...

Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their views. This is not a place to quarrel.

I got alot more reading to do....this stuph is really interesting!

[Ridgewalker]

Sorry if I can't worry about that stuff now.

I'm here to tell my friends that my entire world just came crashing down around me.

Brian told me last night he wants a divorce. After all these years. And I never saw it coming.

Turns out he's been lying for quite awhile about how he feels. I'm still in shaking, shuddering shock. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

He took his wedding ring off and left it on the bedside table, slept on the couch. He's already figured out child support payments, and how long he'll pay my car insurance.

Yesterday, I thought everything was fine. We've had our problems, but we've worked on them. I've always felt a marriage was worth working on, and I loved him enough to do that. Last night I found out that he doesn't feel the same.

He's just been lying- he admitted that- for God knows how long, and now it's over. Not a break. Not to work on things. It's over... just like that.

I've never felt so hideously betrayed... by the one person in this world I trusted to never screw me over. I've never been so shocked. My heart's been ripped out and stomped on by the person who gave me my babies... who was supposed to be my partner for life. It hurts... so bad.

I can't stop crying. And I haven't even told my kids yet. How am I supposed to do this?

I'll be online a little today. Then I don't know for awhile, but I'll be able to check my email. Anyone who has it can share it with the rest of you. When you get down to it... he's basically kicking me out. I can't keep this house on my own.

I'm a stay-at-home mom. I have no credit- none. I never finished college, and I haven't had a job in over 5 years. And I have two chronically ill children. I went to my mom's last night. The kids and I will be moving back in with them.

Brian's going to stay here in this house that we were making ours... that we fought and struggled so hard for.

This summer has been so incredibly hard for me. And he turned his back on me.

Nine years together. Yesterday I thought everything was fine, and today it's over. The pain is so huge, i don't know how I'll survive it.

[jerseyangel]

Sarah,

I don't know what to say. I'm just heartsick for you.

You're a strong and smart woman--I have so much respect for you and the kind of mom you are. Thank goodness you can go to your parents' for the time being.

This is so sudden, I'm so sorry, Sarah. I wish I lived closer to you.

If you get a chance, PM me your email address real quick--I don't think I have it.

[Darn210]

OMG Sarah!! I'm soooooo sorry!! I know it's painful and crazy for you now . . . but you are a strong and you've got your parents, friends and us to lean on when you need it. Hugs and Prayers for you Sarah!!

[Judyin Philly]

Dear Sarah

I don't know you well but any just sick over your post

I'll just use email

I'll get yours from Patti if it's ok

you said to share it......

patti can you please send it to me.

Hang in there Sarah?

much love and prayers coming your way.

Judy

[blueeyedmanda]

Oh Sarah!

I am so sorry to have read about this. That is terrible. You have my email so please feel free to email me and we can talk. I answer my email usually all day long.

(((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

[elye]

Sarah....

My heart is breaking for you. I truly cannot believe it....I am shaking and teary-eyed as I write this, so I can only imagine how you are. I'm praying for you, and you are such an incredible woman and mother, I know that you and your beautiful boys will be okay. Take strength from your mom....I'm so glad you have her.

Patti, can you email me Sarah's email, too? Thanks.......
