Hi Sillies--

A quick poopsy-insy for me this evening. I am exhausted and I feel so sick. Today was the funeral in NJ. It was so sad. I haven't been to a funeral since my best friend passed away over 10 yrs ago, when we were in HS. I didn't think today would be so hard since I really didn't know this person but it was so sad. We were in the church and I saw John's aunt and she just had this look on her face....so hard to describe it cannot be easy for a parent to be burying a child, even though he was an adult....I lost it. So many things were going through my mind as I stood there...it is still hard to explain.

So then we went to the cemetery and it was so cold and even though I put my sun glasses on, the tears just kept flowing. The time seemed to go really slow and finally we were putting our roses in the ground on top of the casket. I was so glad when we were getting back in the car.

I got the worst headache in the world on the way home....and I have been sick ever since....so I am going back to the couch. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Em- Tell the Ripper have a great birthday!

Good Sunday morning, Psillies!

Amanda, I am so sorry about this rough emotional patch for you. It was probably good for you, in a cathartic kind of way, to shed the tears that you did yesterday - - and amongst all the other family's tears, perhaps a little easier to get through.

Draining hot tub, this morning, after that cavalcade of pre-teens. . . ..... it has to be drained and refilled three times a year, so this seemed a good time.

Carry on, all!

[jerseyangel]

Mornin sillies

Amanda

Yes Em, I think you timed this hot tub cleaning at just the right time

Judy

[Jestgar]

[Judyin Philly]

Thanks Jess

just feeling gloomy today I guess

[blueeyedmanda]

I too am feeling gloomy today it is nasty outside....and cold and I need to start packing my house up. This house is full. Jen is going to dayshift in 2 weeks. Not this weekend or the weekend after....the following weekend. I am not sure if we will have Landen in the begining due to the move. If he is here from 6am till almost 7:30 on the weekends....well I wont get too much packing done.

So today it is major house cleaning and then I am going to get some things packed.

Bye everyone!

[Judyin Philly]

well here's a smile for ya Amanda on this gloomy Sunday

Judy

[DingoGirl]

You must've made quite an impression!

Um............noo. it's just because I wasn't interested - - and he is SOOOPER needy and dweeby. I had just re-met Robert.

And yes, Ptaum, ecstatic over the massive upset over them 'dogs. :lol:

[Oops too late ... .not 4774 anymo']

Leesah will like that

Mine 'tweren't al-kee-hol inflected 'tall ....but makes me think of mashing the headlines into a ball of play-doh, then squooshing it through the extruder toy <what's that called?> and trying to make sense of the disembodied pieces.

isn't that what yer already doing?

Draining hot tub, this morning, after that cavalcade of pre-teens. . . ..... it has to be drained and refilled three times a year, so this seemed a good time.

oh yeah, get that musty pre-teen boy smell outta there..........

aaaww Judy. WE never need sunshine when YOU are around

Amanda!

Sillies - damningly sunny here, again........... How is it supposed to feel like winter?

[elye]

Um.... .I see my Sam Av is suddenly gone, again.

Oracle POeter . . . . . .!! Why and how is this happening??

....Has this happened to any other Sam Avs?....Or just mine?

Think I might be a wee bit skairt .. . ... .. ..

oh yeah, get that musty pre-teen boy smell outta there..........

OMG. . . .. ..you will never guess what we found at the bottom of the tub when we emptied it this morning. A bit of dirt, two little leaves.... . .and something quite, um . . . .......weird, I guess I would say.

All right. It's a gloomy Sunday. We must play 20 questions. You need to guess the thing that I found, within 20 yea-or-nay-answer questions.

Perhaps I'll give a couple of clues.

First clue:

It's smaller than a breadbox.

[nikki-uk]

Afternoony peeps!!!!!

Tel's mince pies are just out of the oven....to be served with custard (T'was roast beef earlier)

...will be freezing a batch for any upcoming xmas do's for Alzey

Hey, my Gramma, too!! Her mom was a Scot... . .from a funny little hamlet called Beuley, I believe. What was your grandmother's last name? My grandmother was in the Leslie clan. . . . ....motto: GRIP FAST.

Mygawd Em!...we drove through Beauly on our Scottish travels (nr Inverness) ...... have I mentioned just how staggering beautiful it is up there??? <I think I may have>

....and did you know that in 1571 the Clan Leslie joined forces with the Clan Gordon (my Scots ancestors) against the (evil) Clan Forbes!!!

Livingstone. My great-great-grandfather, James Livingstone, was born on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, in February 1810. He came to Canada with his wife, Mary McMillan, and their newborn daughter in 1843, settling in Wellington County, Ontario, where they had nine more children. James was a cousin of Open Original Shared Link according to family history.

Fascinating stuff!!!

I see the Livingstones were in fact from the Clan Maclea......oh!...and Isle of Mull - sounds dreamy (MUST go there!)....but I can't hear it said without getting the 'Mull of Kintyre' song by Paul McCartney stuck in me head

going to shave off me whiskers on me lip and go and crawel under me blankie.

Tee-hee

Yes, I must also shave me whiskers

The Rippers birthday bash!!! ...fabulous!!.....like the Queen he has 2 days of celebration!!!!

.....but draining the hot tub????........What will yer find at the bottom??

...and so many of you got yer got yer tree and decorations up!!! ......GADS you yanks are an organised lot!!!!!!

..... and Soozhee looking for a REAL tree?!?!?!....I'd love to......but can't be doing with the mess & needles......it's artificial ALL the way for ME!!!! .......I have a hideous 'fibRE optic'...thing........impulse buy

<Must get the little peeps under the stairs to sort all the decorations out!>

Alzey is going BACK to school tomorrow (YIPEE!!!)...... I cannot stand his chatter ANY longer

Would it be something only a boy would possess?

[elye]

Mygawd Em!...we drove through Beauly on our Scottish travels (nr Inverness) ...... have I mentioned just how staggering beautiful it is up there??? <I think I may have>

Is it gorgeously beautiful? :wistfulface: My great-gramma was most definitely NOT beautiful - - built like a brick sh!thouse, lantern jaw, wild, grEy hair all askew.. . . ...apparently not an individual you'd want to meet up with on a dark moor. . . . . .

(but i am certain she was a lovely person on the inside......). . . .

....and did you know that in 1571 the Clan Leslie joined forces with the Clan Gordon (my Scots ancestors) against the (evil) Clan Forbes!!!

NIK!!! We are KINDRED SPIRITS!!!!! This is most fantastic. . . . ....

Would it be something only a boy would possess?

Um......no. A boy could own one of these, but not ONLY a boy. . . . . ..

[curlyfries]

Um......no. A boy could own one of these, but not ONLY a boy. . . . . ..

Is it some kind of toy?

[nikki-uk]

Is it some kind of toy?

...Is it edible?

TONS of people have fake trees now......I have not done it......still like the real smell - but it's been so many years..........ponderign what to do......

and - this is sinful - -

I missed church as was bidding on some curtain panels on ebay - I lost : Paganism of the highest calibRE

Yay for Alzy going back to school tomorrow, that means he's doing well and the leg has healed nicely Now he can overtalk to his school mates and teachers

Meant to comment on this too, Lisa yer description of yer cake was HEElarious!!!!

Wish I had summat(hehe) to try Bubble & Squeak w/, but I'd probably end up all bubble & no squeak or vice-versa

I have to say I had a little trouble with it not sticking, think I needed more oil...but I think most anything you could form into patties and fry up would be Bubble and Squeak-worthy!

What football is on the schedule fer ya today Thom? I have the Broncos/Jets (rooting for the Jets actally)

Um............noo. it's just because I wasn't interested - - and he is SOOOPER needy and dweeby.

Sooper needy and dweeby...what a catch!!

Sillies - damningly sunny here, again........... How is it supposed to feel like winter?

It is COLD and snowy, a little winter wonderland here Come join me!! i am putting up new winter avatar in fact in a moment....

Just to add on the Christmas tree sitch, I always had a real tree for the same reasons as you....hated the fake trees and loved having the fresh pine smell and just the realness of it all and bringing the outdoors and nature in, but they are so expensive and they weren't lasting long, pine needles everywhere and a mess to clean up.

I gave in and the last 2 or 3 yrs have done fake

[tom]

A Phavre Phanne?

My big one today is my BEARS in the night game, fighting for division supremacy!

Having TWO local franchises can suck tv-wise. Both have to be shown & the other channel (showing the country a greeeeeeat game no doubt) gets blocked when a local has a home game. (Unless THEY'RE in a blackout for not selling out)

TMI?

I got crappy 49ers, rancid Raiders & what I could The Underperformers Bowl, Colts/Browns.

More (non-football) later

Oh wait!!! Em!!! I want a question! ...uhhh .. .will it be thrown away?
