Haloooooo, Leeeesargh! A new leg over there.....PHAB. Does it include the knee? (I am sure if it does, it becomes a much bigger project)..... . how wonderful that he's all over the place with it!

And yer heinous namoanyuh .. . .........take care of thyself, girl!

Nik!.........is your visitor here, yet? See...........that is why 50 is so awesome!

You get special visitors when you hit forty? How come I didn't get any visitors?? From, like, overseas er sumfin'? From one's high school days? To help you celebrate, or clean up? What in hell?. . ........

Could Leesua have meant you in light of yer period announcement the other day??

That's the only unwelcome ex-visitor that poops into me mind

[elye]

Could Leesua have meant you in light of yer period announcement the other day??

Oh, that visitor! Well... . ........ ..a no-sho as yet. Crap, an unpleasant visitor that stays here for five days ..... . such hell.

Well, at least I do not have to put out the good china, or clean the house till sparkling... .. ...'tis a visitor who couldn't care less 'bout such things, mercifully.

Now, my MIL. . . . .......

Gad. Who would I rather have here for five days, if I were forced to choose??

Hmm.... . . ... . .. ... ...I'm thinking. ...... . . ... . .....

Hi all. Like our Psuess....I read along here and there and don't have time (or energy, or somethin) to drop a line. Ferget it all when I come back....but I enjoy the chuckles and conversations when I do get to read some. Been working more, and it's about all I can do to keep going. But damm, I ain't gonna stop.....everready battery(ng ram) that I am

Stopped to get groceries after work the other day. As we were unloading the car I could hear the most pathetic wailing. I said to telehubby.....that's not a cat bird, someone is in trouble (holy shirt batman!) We went on a search and found that the stork had left us a new baby under the hosta leaves. Baby girl about 8 weeks old, we think. I fell in love at first sight.....a short-hair yellow tiger with white toes! Another trip to the store for baby items....food, litter and toys! I posted some pics on da Book. Have decided to not name her for a few days until we know that someone is not going to claim her and take her away. Telehubby said....I don't really want to have a cat in the bed with us........<:smirkface:>.....she sleeps pressed up to our heads.....(heh heh heh). Sometimes God answers unspoken prayers.

Work has been great...but grueling. Love the job, though, especially in the warm weather. Froggie Lou is still happily the big frog in the little pond...she's claimed the whole thing as her own. I think she's in love with my turtle spitter...as she sits near it and moons over it. Funny! Fisssssshes all seem to be thriving. No Lloyds, tho. We get bees, but they are all quite quiet and busy with the flowers.

Leeez...so glad things are looking better with you. Hope the Pyew-monya packs up and leaves in a huff! He's overstayed his visit with you! So glad the new leg has appeared. Hope it causes no problems what-so-evah!

Shiny days to you all. Be poopin in again sooon. Keep the Psilly-side up!!

[elye]

TAREEEEESAR'S GOT A NEW WEE KITTEH!!!!!

How exciting, T!!!! A new psilly pet!! Must get over to Da Book to check her out. . .....so excited .. . . . . . .

[jerseyangel]

T--yer wee kitty sounds simply adorable

I'm off to look at the pics.....

Hey, Gang!

I'm contemplating an attempt at that orange cake recipe, with a huge substitution.... ..replacing the sugar with Splenda (bad, scary stuff, and heinously expensive, but I really couldn't be eating the cake otherwise). Dunno how this would fare.. . ... ....sugar makes up such a big percentage of the recipe content, and Splenda is very different in texture. Maybe half sugar, half substitute?

Well, I'll try it once, and I'll know forever.

'Twill be an adventure!

[Jestgar]

I really think you could use less sweetener overall, especially if you had sweet oranges to start with.

[nikki-uk]

Many 'whoops'.....

T's li'l bitty ginger kitty (I ADORE him ♥..you MUST keep him!!!!!)

Brian's new (improved??) leg

HAVE to go to a candle party tonight ......promised my friend I'd go...but they are SOOO over priced (ka-ching

[Jestgar]

What we're analyzing to today:

[mimommy]

Grandbaby under construction is a GIRL!!!!!......and she will be dubbed Princess Alexis at her coming out party!

Wow, so much great news!!! But, yer newmoanya sucks

You get special visitors when you hit forty? How come I didn't get any visitors?? From, like, overseas er sumfin'? From one's high school days? To help you celebrate, or clean up? What in hell?. . ........

Aw, Rayechull...... . . . So sorry things are rough for you right now. I know how you feel - - this economic climate has us fretting daily. Three of us eating gluten-free and all my diabetes supplies add up to big, scary bills... .. . .

But it will get better! We will get busier! One lives in hope. . .. .....

Goooooood Morning, Peeps!

I had a long, strange dream last night involving my MIL, Sally Struthers and some impoverished African children that they were taking under their wing. . . . . ....

I'm still piecing it together, fascinated and perplexed... .... . . .what in hell does THIS mean??

Got nowt else this am. ... .. ..methinks this is quite enough for one morning.

[flourgirl]

OMG!! I haven't thought about Sally Struthers in ages! I wonder how she knows your MIL? And...do you mean to say that Sally and your MIL have wings? ( )

Not much going on today....yet. Still playing catch-up with emails and trying to work up the energy to work outside. I have inside work to do too......but I think I'll leave that for the rain that's coming our way. I know we need the rain....but I'm getting a bit annoyed with it all. Most of my plants are very happy with the amount of rain....others are crying about their soggy feet!

New baby is doing fine and dandy. She has settled in very quickly.....like any baby she likes having us nearby and cries is either of us goes outside. But I've noticed that when Hubby left this morning the crying didn't last long . I think it's a built in "guilt-inducing behavior" that all babies are born with! Amazingly enough, she sleeps most of the night (as far as I can tell).....stretched out around our heads. Must be the hair that makes her feel more at home ....Psuess...maybe I need to borrow your *Hair Suit*. No sign of fleas (on the cat), but did remove 2 ticks and been cleaning ears of mites. Trying to train her to a basket for her toys....but so far I am the only one who puts the toys in it (go figger).

I know, I know.....I didn't give you all enough time to prepare to get saturated with more baby stories! (want to see the pictures in my wallet....got a whole string of 'em...heh heh).

Hope everyone is feeling relatively well today....lots of pep and laughter!

Threadbare and empty?

I miss the me that shone

rough day

whining helps

[Mtndog]

Just wanted to poop in...........and say HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess- Whine away.

Egads- I have been MIA. Lots going on......on antibiotic break (not much of a break as the symptoms don't go away POOPY COW!).

Got tested for Addison's on Monday (injected with drugs- nothing happened which is good. Some people get a little crazy :lol:

Been very depressed lately Working on that. Working in the garden has helped but drugs needed toot sweet! Raychull- You hang in there too!

But good news about Brian's leg, Teerusa's wee new addition (want to kiss his wittle nose!) :wub:

Only 10 more days and I get to go away! Me dad and I rented a cott-age on the ze water.....Plum Island where I saw the swans at sunset! It's beautiful there and only 45 minutes from here so people can come visit. My sister is bringing the kids for a long weekend. Happy abou that- you are all invited!

Jyess!! What in hell? This is so. . . . . . . . . ....... . . . . . . . . deep and . .. . . . . .... . . . . . existential and. .. . . . . . ..

Haiku-ish. .. ...! You are feeling like an unravelled piece of cloth? You need to grab an Agathie Christie book (missing mystery), perhaps some Windex (lack of shine), put up some new paintings (empty wall syndrome), get a new eyewear scrip (disappearing images).. .. . ....hell, you is feelin' downright weird, girl . . . ....

HI, BEVEL! Always wondering about you! Hang in there.. .. . ...

I use Stevia fairly regularly, but not much for baking. Perhaps I'll try it....but it is even more unlike sugar texture-wise. It is worth a try.

Stay tuned.... . . . .

Halloooo my lovely, dear, psillie friends

I have fallen into the regularly-scheduled (well, regularly-occurring, I should say) deep pit of grief, could wax existential and sad and appalled over it, but will just quote Geoss's BEAUTIFUL poem instead, and keep quiet, head underground

Sills, I had a tough day today. I am having to make my third heinously difficult and painfully grown up choice of the week. 2 were family related and verrrrry hard. The third is how to work, feed 3 people on the incredibly overpriced gluten-free diet, and still manage to be any kind of a mother. Taylor is the only one of us required to be gluten-free, but we do it too for her better health and to not cc her. The cost of living here is outrageous--I pay about $1200 a month for groceries, pet food, laundry detergent--all that stuff total. No kidding I barely make anything at UPS and can't pay a babysitter 3/4 of diddly squat. I don't trust anyone other than my aging mother-in-law to care for my daughter--I can guarantee a glutening if she is left with anyone else, Taylor is that sensitive. And let's face it folks, most well meaning friends and family have no idea what is required with caring for a person with celiac.

<<sigh>>

My job at UPS is really taking a downward turn--I nearly threw down with a nasty lowlife customer today.

<<sigh>>

sending so much love and prayers, Mimms. You are a scrapper and you WILL figure it out. Just hang tough.

Well hell. Stop sending it north. Add it to the list of things we're going to send the taliban, along wif celiac disease.

Stay tuned.... . . . .

It is NOT a one- for -one replacement, as I'm sure you're aware. I'm going to try it with honey, and add some flour, I'll let you know how it goes.... Maybe a bit of pectin, to make up for the sugar 'jelling' properties.
