Terry has 'tool envy'

Heck, your bum cheeks will be up by your neck !!!!!!!

Durned men and their tool obsessions (you guys are gonna have to fill in emoticons until I phigure how to get 'em back)

They only way she will get them up as high as her neck is if she has "The knob" (lol)

Well, apparently my fears on that front were completely unfounded. I guess the days I was interviewing and stuff people were wearing their dull clothes, because I haven't got anything remotely as flashy as what some of those girls are wearing. But the new job is really great. They really do train you and pay attention to what you're doing, it's awesome. I'm tired of places that don't actually take the time to train you what to do.

Yeah bunbun, yer got a great job and ya can dress expressively to boot!! You lucked out (and you deserve it)

Phantastic!!!! I wish I had his energy! He's been mountain biking, hiking, planting trees, installing gutters, building a pergola, putting in a vegetable garden, finalizing his research, writing papers.......it wears me out just thinking about it!

Ah, the wonderment of reinspired youth!

Quick poop in cause I HAD to share this with you all. It's ridiculously awesome (and VERY cute!).

Since 2008, two French hikers have chronicled their trek from Miami, FL to the tip of South America, a journey of 15,000km (about 9,320 miles) through 13 countries.

I had been sent stills of that couple and their sweet kitteh. Daddy's kitteh! Now, if I were to carry my kitteh I wouldn't have the energy for carrying anything else'. Of course, I wouldn't have the energy to walk all the way to Ushaia anyway. Poopy cow. Getting old sucks.

Yeah, it's raining here this morning, but hey, that's good news because we are officially in drought - less than half our normal rainfall so far this year. Plants are all going SLURP.

Where ya been--missed you. Phill us in.

I am breathless in amazement, Leeeesargh... . . ....what an amazing, inspirational son you have, there. Perhaps we won't read about him in a novel or biography, but it sounds like we will be able to reference him in medical journals.. . . ......it's all good!

OMG.. .. .. ...adorable. Yes, I, too, would be struggling along, breathing hard and staggering, if my big tom Bryce was perched on my shoulders... . ....actually, he would drape himself, and cover my entire upper body. Methinks he is a cougar, actually....... . . ...

May all go to hell this week since we'll be in Victoria.... Afternoon tea at the Empress hotel may screw it all up, but for 55$ per person, you'd better believe I'm gonna eat anything and everything they set in front of me!!

The Empress is absolutely beautiful, Rah-chyellle! We were there in the fall.....dinna spring for the high tea, but sat in the exquisite lounge sipping the cheapest vino they could bring us... . .....STILL cha-ching, but what an experience!

....and NOW I know about cuteoverload.com = VORTEX!!!!!!!!!!

Yup.....I'm in trouble, now. . .. . . .. ..

Took a little over an hour to catch up on the reading.

Been really busy and it's not going to get better for a while although now that I'm caught up, it shouldn't be as bad. Whenever I get behind, I seem to put off getting back on here until I have time to catch up on all the reading . . . I know I should just jump in, but I can't seem to do that.

Skeeter had her appt in Cinti. As luck would have it, the doc we saw was a resident (years and years ago) under the doc that we were leaving behind . New doc was nice but didn't really see the point of us driving all the way to Cinti since we have perfectly good docs here. I told him I wasn't allowed to switch docs within the practice and got an "Oh . . . yeah, we used to do that here . . . don't know why anyone would have that policy". Then questioned me about another doc at the other big practice in town . . . and I told him she was out on maternity leave . . . got another "Oh". He did not think Skeeter had/has gastroparesis since she can eat within hour(s) of regurgitating/vomitting without any additional consequences. He thinks it's GERD. He did a few blood tests . . . all came back normal . . . still waiting on tTG. No additional tests are planned. I feel like I came across as an overconcerned mother. I feel like Skeeter isn't "sick" enough to get their attention . . . especially when you see some of the kids that they are treating (which is heartbreaking). However, she's probably missed about half of her math classes since the beginning of the year . . . of course, I didn't think to tell him that but I think he would think she is stressed out about math (which she is not) and the GERD is the result of the stress. BAH!!! He put her on a higher dose PPI for the next four months . . . she threw up at school the next day.

Been birding a few times since I was last here . . . I am totally loving this hobby. I ordered myself some fancy schmancy binoculars for Mother's Day. They should arrive tomorrow. The people I have met have been just fabulous.

Nik, love the hair coloUr. I also started WW about a month ago. I have to get down to a certain weight before the next Hilton Head girls trip in late Sept or else pay the price (yes, money is involved). I've got about 11 pounds to go but the next two months are NOT going to be good . . . lots of traveling. Then after I'm in the clear (bet-wise) I've got an additional 10 pounds (at least) to lose. The good news is that I haven't been my current weight for about four years.

Did not use fast reply so I can not remember what else to say . . .

OH!!! BUN!!! Congrats on the job!!!

Hi to T!! . . . and Hi to everyone else, too. Not very psillie here but it'll come around, just need to get back in the swing of things.

[elye]

Hi, Jyaghnutt! You've been a busy bee...... . . ....great to see you back. No great AHA! moment with Skeeter ... .. . ...keep pluggin' -- you'll get your answer!

Congrats on the weight loss! I was about to list on ebay a large, framed work of art with precision reflective glass on the front - - sounds like you could happily hang it beside your computer, so I'll just send it down to you.. .. ..

[Darn210]

Nope . . . not ready for any mirror-like artwork. Did you not hear me . . . got at least 21 pounds to lose(that would be 1 stone and a half dozen pieces of gravel to Nik).

Have you ever wondered why some mirrors are skinny mirrors and some mirrors are fat mirrors? My phrend here swears that Ann Taylor puts skinny mirrors in their dressing rooms which convincer her to buy their clothes . . . when she gets home, they look nothing like they did in the store. We've got a fat mirror at work. I always look 10 pounds heavier there. (I'm sure it's the mirror and not me )

[elye]

We've got a fat mirror at work. I always look 10 pounds heavier there.

Um.... . . . . . :unsure:. . ... . .....aren't.....ALL mirrors..... . ...FAT mirrors?..... .. .. . .. ....

You mean... .... . ..those mirrors that I look into and think "oh, gawd....thank heaven they all make me look heavier than I really am" might, in fact, be ACCURATE?? Or, gawd -- THIN mirrors??

No way. ALL mirrors in me day-to-day travels are PHAT mirrors.

Yep. ALL of 'em.

[jerseyangel]

Oh yes...all me mirrors are of the phat variety. Phat mirrors, phat cameras....

[Darn210]

Well, I must say . . . all cameras ARE phat cameras. One of my favourite lines from Friends . . . watching the "Prom" video of Monica and Rachel from high school and Monica is hefty . . . Monica says "well, the camera adds 10 lbs you know" and Chandler answered with "how many cameras are actually on you?"

[jerseyangel]

Monica says "well, the camera adds 10 lbs you know" and Chandler answered with "how many cameras are actually on you?"

:lol: I remember that too!!

[jerseyangel]

Speaking of phat....I just ate 1/4 of a container of organic chocolate ice cream.

[Jestgar]

but it was organic, so that's OK

[jerseyangel]

Yeah, that's what I figured..

Now the bunnie is sad because I can't have kitties..... they make me stop breathing..... I LOVE kitties..........

Hubby too, no kitten-britches for us either

Yup....sorry

.....and he cleans and does laundry and cooks, too!

Good Lord! You must be the best mom EVER!!! Teach me, teach me, teach me!!! I want my son to grow up to be like your son!

Not to mention, they SUCK you in because their clothes are sized 2 sizes lower than you normally wear.... Hell yeah when I fit perfectly into a size 6 dress, I'm gonna buy it!!

Hahahahaha! I LOVE that one!! That and "7.....7......7!!!!!!!" Heeheehee

Speaking of phat....I just ate 1/4 of a container of organic chocolate ice cream.

I ate a pint of cherry amaretto a small pineapple and 1/2 a cheeseless veggie pizza an hour ago. BUT.... as my daughter says, it's not really pizza if it doesn't have cheese and the ice cream has 24g fiber.... Soooooo, I'm sure I didn't gain an ounce...

[curlyfries]

Hmmmmmm.....let's seee.......

1)Be inconsistant about assigning chores

2)Eventually give up and do them yourself

He was so laaaazy as a boy...couldn't even bribe him with money. I found out after he was grown that he would do a terrible job on the dishes so I would give up and do them meself

He did a complete turnaround once he started college.

At his wife's wedding shower, she got a bunch of small stuff put in a laundry basket. Someone mentioned that she needed to teach her hubby how to use it. She replied, "I don't have to.....he came that way!"

But he was a really good kid. Vey mature for his age......and extremely smart.

Here's my boy.......since you weren't here the first time I posted it

[curlyfries]

Here's my boy.......since you weren't here the first time I posted it

Wait.....maybe I did post it not too long ago

oh well......it's a good picture anyway

just remembered....that was my nephew I was thinking of.........carry on!

[elye]

Happy Monday, Psills!

He did a complete turnaround once he started college.

GAH! Magic words! Thank gawd...there is some hope!!

Crap. Shoulda done a quick-reply-with-cut-and-paste.... .. . .I wanted to say something about... . . ..ice cream? Floor tiles? Size six pants?. .. .. ....... . ... ...bah, 'tis gone. . . . . . ..

[nikki-uk]

It's ok Leighsah!!.... I can't even call my kids by their correct names - I should just stick to 'Hey you!'

When bunnies and cats get together, its rarely a good outcome in my experience.

You can have some of our rain. Ugh!

Sorry Skeeter's appointment was a let down. "Not sick enough."

Birding sounds fun!

Looked around my house & most of my paintings do not have glass on them. Only the small ones & the ones in dark corners. Wasn't that smart of me? Also, all mirrors are of the waist up varity so you cannot see your bum.

I always wonder how I can wear the same size I did in High School and was 20 pounds lighter?

I think one of the rules of dieting is that if its healthy, the calories don't count.

Hmmmmmm.....let's seee.......

1)Be inconsistant about assigning chores

2)Eventually give up and do them yourself

My boys do thier laundry of they have nothing to wear. Got tired of at 10 pm " Mom! I have to wear that shirt tomorrow!"

[celiac-mommy]

Hmmmmmm.....let's seee.......

Nice looking boy man! And I do remember the pic of your nephew!!

Man, I'm so consistent wif the chores and my son STILL shoves his dirty clothes under his dresser and in the back of his closet. He's had the TV taken away from him so many times, you'd think he'd get it by now--hubby says to give him some slack, since he's only 4

HAHAHAHAHAHA! How are you this clever this early in the morning? Oh wait, different time zones

I think one of the rules of dieting is that if its healthy, the calories don't count.

I wish that were true! I always gain weight in the summer because of all of the fruit I eat. They're called "personal" watermelons, but I really don't think they're meant to be eaten by one person in one sitting

[jerseyangel]

Ya know, call me whatever but I wasn't real concerned with my boys doing chores. Granted, I was home during the day, and honestly it was easier for me to do things once and get them done. I like things a certain way, and didn't think it was fair to expect the kids to give the same attention to detail.

I (we) were consistent about many things from an early age--among them--school work/home work, drugs, honesty, respect for others and their belongings, fair play--ya know, don't be a jerk. I did laundry, but they didn't throw their clothes around and kept their rooms neat. After eating, they cleared their own dishes. We picked our battles....I went with my gut on a lot of stuff, not necessarily what was the 'accepted way' at the time.

I grew up in a very dictatorial home, and I tried to find that place with my kids where they felt comfortable, yet with boundaries. It was at times very difficult, going against what was ingrained, and of course all that 'helpful' advice that intimated that I was doing it all wrong. So far, they have made me proud--and I say 'so far', cause you never know what's around the corner. They each have their own homes now and both of them are neat, clean, and decent working members of society--and most important to me--we all like each other.

Whew!
