^Ha_ppy ^Bi_rt^hd_ay ^Am_an^da!!!

Glad it all went well Judy!

My wrap up- chickens are happy. no signs of another break in (or out ) Max's still sick. No idea what's causing it. Have spent the morning at the vet's every day. I'm tired of this, I told them I'd go by how he's acting and not bring him in again till Friday if all seems the same. Currently waiting for him to poop ( I have a constipated cat). Adding psyllium to his food (and Lefty's, by default. Lefty has...produced...we'll just leave it at that...)

Have to catch up on studying.

[psawyer]

Jess, for a constipated cat, try adding mineral oil to the food. One of our cats has chronic problems in this area, so we give her mineral oil on a daily basis.

[Jestgar]

Thanks Peter. I got some tuna in oil to start with. Max is still really really picky about what he's eating so I'm reluctant to do anything that might change the flavor too much. He even knows when the psyllium has been sprinkled in. I tried the pumpkin, but neither of them will eat it. I, however, have discovered that it does have plenty of fibre.

[jerseyangel]

Ya got yer hands full for sure, Jess. Hope Max feels better soon

[mimommy]

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dearrrrrrrrrrrr Amanda, happy birthday to you!!!!!

I am livid.

Whot????? That is the most heinous thing ever?! Did i read it right that he fired you by e-mail? Coward!!

We made over $800.

too tired to count all the change but there is alot of it esp. quarters.

will try to read and catch up tomoorw

listing the house this Thurs.

Judy

Excellent profits, Judy! I hope I do half as well with mine next month.

And Llama lady was here, too? Wow, I've been remiss <hangs head in shame>

Jess, good luck with your wee Max. I had a cat named Snowy who had "Mega-colon" and the tummy issues were AWFUL I secretly called him 'Sucky Butt' because at it's worst his bottom would make a sucking sound every time the poor guy took a step. He would lie on his back while his tummy actually rolled He was a lover, it was so sad.

Miss you all. Trying to catch up.

Have a great day!!!!

Morning Sillies!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We are getting together with my college friends, Amanda and Steve and Steve's wife Jamie. Even though we all live close. We are in Harrisburg and those 3 live in the York area, due to our jobs and schedules we don't get to meet up all that often. So our plans are mini-golfing and dinner. It is supposed to be very hot and humid today- even so I am still excited. Our gatherings are always fun.

Update from the fair- My Peanut Butter fudge took 4th place, out of 40 other fudge entries. Sadly, my cake and cupcake did not place but thats ok-it was my first time entering the baking contests and I am going to enter again next year.

My oil painting took 3rd place and my calligraphy took 2nd. I am not sure about any of my photographs, since the judging was over but the pictures were not up for viewing. There were stacks of about 400 entries sitting on the floor being sorted...I didnt have time to wait.

We took silvia to the fair- it was her first time. She loved it. Sadly, she was too small to ride a few things. Even accompanied by me they would not allow her on the big slide. She is 2 1/2. I saw younger kids riding. Like a good aunite- I boarded the train and jallopy cars with her so she could ride... I took her on the lollipop swings too which was nice. The seats are made for two so parents can ride. It was nice. We looked at the animals and other things.

All that running between scranton and home on thursday and friday took it toll. We came back to our house by midnight on Friday. Yesterday I was worn out!

How are all my sillies today? I would love to stay but it is storming already and I want to unplug the computer. BYe till later

[Darn210]

We made over $800.

Yes, wish i could but celebrated with the old "d" most of the nite.

Guess stress and too tired will do it everytime for me.

But at least the 'd' was worth some cash this time.

It is hot here, today. Summer has finally arrived. Methinks the air-conditioner is having ptoblems. Can't get the temp below 76 F.

Spending some time refreshing my memory of signs I learned last year.

Pffftttt!!!!!.........who am I kidding.........What memory????

[blueeyedmanda]

Yep had a nasty storm at 10am this morning- which I was glad now that the sun is out so we can still play the round of mini-golf.

John allowed me to go buy what I wanted for my bday gift. The thing I wanted was some new clothes. So I figured I would stop by Tarjay and get some in-style things...so when did Tarjay get so phlippin pricey? Dresses for 36-50 bucks...yikes! shirts for 25....even tanks were 19. So I bummed and left.

Stopped at Kohls...walked out of there with 6 new tops for 56 bucks. Everything was buy one get one :) Beat that Tarjay!!!!

[curlyfries]

GAAAHHHH!!!!

Air conditioner is definitely on the fritz

78 degrees so far

<ca-ching>

Mornin', Peeps!

OMG.....last night Will and I drove up to McDonalds for an ice cream - -Sophie was working through the dinner shift, and we wanted to get in her line and embarrass her.

We drove in and I said, "Hey! I think that's Soph at the drive-through window!"

Perfect.

We drove up to the menu order/microphone thingy, and sure enough, there is Sophie's li'l voice........"Good evening.... ..... .can I help you?"

In a thick, almost indiscernable Celtic/Scottish brogue, DH says, "I'll have me an extra large sooondae witha booonch a' sauce o'ertop".

There is silence. Then Sophie says, "Um.... ...sir, there is only one size of sundae......and which type of sauce would you like, chocolate, strawberry or caramel?"

DH: (angry, more heavily-accented voice): "I need a LARGE soooondae! The biggest one ya can put through yer winda there! And I need ALL THREE sauces, swirled aroooound in a spec-TAC-ular coooolinary display!"

We can hear other girls' muffled laughter in the background.

More silence. Then, "DAD??"

So fun. This is about as exciting as it gets in my family life.

[jerseyangel]

Poor Max.....so uncomfortable.

We got our new TX driver's licenses in the mail on Saturday.....oye, I literally look like a convict The woman at the DMV was mean--she yelled at me about standing in the correct place for the pic to be taken, and then I swear she snapped the pic before I smiled.

Plus, my PA license actually had the rare good pic of me so this is especially heinous In Kohl's yesterday, I had to show the cashier my license since I hadn't used my card there in a long time, and I apologized when I handed it to her--we had a laugh over it

[Judyin Philly]

YAh, yes you make your like FUN. CONGRATS. EM FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT

Excellent embarrassment display.

THAT'S GREAT

pATTI. THOUGHT I QUOTED YOU BUT LOST IT..........

gLAD YOU GOT OUT YESTERDAY AND AT LEAST GOT THE LISCENCE.

[Darn210]

Em . . . . . . Excellent!!!

Jess . . . . . . Yay??? . . . well, it's a start anyway.

Patti . . . convict, huh?? . . . ummm, are we sure we want to stay at Patti's for the summit???

In-law news . . . OK, you need to remember that they saw this model/house/neighborhood a week ago yesterday . . . they have a deposit on a lot, their house is on the market, and they've got arrangements for where they are going to live after their house sells and before the new one is built . . . things are just creepin' along . . .

[elye]

ps....Max pooped! Looked uncomfortable. And....incomplete....

(((sigh))).........story o' my life.. . . . ....

The woman at the DMV was mean--she yelled at me about standing in the correct place for the pic to be taken, and then I swear she snapped the pic before I smiled.

......Gawd, likely an undiagnosed celiac with all the pertinent neurological issues making her a crabby b!tch. Patteigh, next time you need to quietly approach her and say, "Just a friendly suggestion......your abominable social skills may be caused by an autoimmune reaction to the protein found in wheat, barley and rye".

I have told Sophie to say that to any rude customer she finds in her line at McD's.

In Kohl's yesterday, I had to show the cashier my license since I hadn't used my card there in a long time, and I apologized when I handed it to her--we had a laugh over it

Now SHE has her celiac under control!

. . . they have a deposit on a lot, their house is on the market, and they've got arrangements for where they are going to live after their house sells and before the new one is built . . . things are just creepin' along . . .

Hey! Great stuff! .. . . ..........right?. . .. ...

Sillies- the worst has happened....

The birthday dinner from hell---we enjoyed mini-golfing although I had a incident where I sat on a rope which didnt seem to support me and I fell to the ground....

We then went to dinner where I had a salad...nothing seemed to be wrong with it. On our way home- we saw friends 30 minutes from where we lived....I got sick....so sick that there was no where to go....and I had an accident...sillies I was crying on my birthday--such a terrible terrible feeling...

This is the 3rd birthday I have gotten ill- 1 was pre-celiac which now I know why I was sick, 2nd was that time my coworkers and I went to Issacs and got food poisioning and now there was last night....

I think that the lesson is no more birthday dinners :)

My coworker made me gluten-free cream cheese cupcakes with chocolate on top :)

[jerseyangel]

Oh Amanda--I'm so sorry....horrible under any circumstances , but especially so on your birthday.

Jeesh

[nikki-uk]
