I know... . .I am still thinking of J. Competition can get so heated at this age, regardless of the activity, that it can bring great big teenage boys to tears.

Well, our teenage GIRLS made it through to the semi game, which I must get us to shortly. We are playing Sudbury. . . ....... ..great big, tough girls who throw their weight around. . .. ..... . .

GO, LI'L WLDCATS!

Here she is.. .. . . ....her nickname is The Wall..........

I guess I didn't explain it well. It isn't that he lost. That's disappointing. he played on a football team that didn't win but as long as he did his best, he was happy. This is more the realization that something he has given his heart, soul, & a lot of free time to, is over. This has been his passion for 6 years. He had hoped to win so he could have 1 more competition. As oneof the kids pointed out, they build bigger and better things in engineering school.

I believe hockey is one of the few times a girl likes to be called "The Wall"

[elye]

Well, The Wall is finished her tournaments.

It was such an incredibly exciting game, and Sudbury was a team of big and very aggressive girls..... . . ...we were way out of our league, actually, but we were TIED 0-0 (Sophie faced 20 shots, the other goalie 4) until the dying seconds of the final period, when Soph saved a tough shot off her glove and the rebound was whipped up, like ligfhtning, over her shoulder. Into the net. I looked at the clock -- 3 seconds remaining.

That was it.

What a way to lose! But Sophie got MVP. A great way to end things....and I don't have to head out to YET another game tonight.

Okay, now on to baseball.....training camp for Jack is in two weeks. . .. ...

So I accidently flashed a guy at the park yesterday Max was showing me some yoga moves he learned and I asked him if he could do the dancer pose. He asked me to show him. Welllllll, when I leaned forward, I kinda lost my right side outta my top. Couldn't figure out why this hottie was watching us so intently... Then I stood up and caught a but of a breeze across the chest. Oops! I was laughing so hard! Thank goodness it was time to leave, we hightailed it to the car and got outta there!

Dear GAWD Raechulle?! ....yer (passion fruit! ) jam was butter???

Would you still put it on toast?? *confused*

It's not really butter. It's hard to explain... Have you ever had apple or pumpkin butter in autumn? It's a big thing here. It's a fruit spread, but creamier, like butter, no seeds like jam, not gelatious like jelly. But it's basically a fruit/sugar puree I guess. It is heaven

Gawd, some severe dating of meselph, here.. . . . there has only been one movie that absolutely terrified me as a child: When I was about four, my sister and her boyfriend let me come along to the drive-in to se (the original -- probably 1970) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Hate, hate HATE that movie. Reminded me of a creepy pedophile.

I turned on every single light in and around my house last evening during Earth Hour.

Warning: very unpsilly stuff ahead!

We were eliminated. Our robot did OK but not as well as it should have in the last rounds. That's probably the hardest part for J to take- his last robotics match and he didn't do his best. Glad hub was here, I couldn't talk to J without crying. It's really hard to see your big strong son in tears. The 2 girls on the team he has known the longest were looking at him helplessly. I'll try to be silly later.

Well, The Wall is finished her tournaments.

Congrats to the girls! AND the boys!! K, I know how disappointing it is for them, but they came so far!! I hope they're proud of what they accomplished

Hi My Dear Psillies,

Finally got through most of my testing. Think I mentioned I'm in the watch and wait stage of the CLL. Back is a major issue (scoliosis and curvature) plus rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis (in addition to Celiac),

I'm writing to let you knpw I'll be offline until the weekend My son is coming home to look for a summer job and is bringing two friends (who date each other) They'll be staying in my study (hip parents are letting them stay together). I did want to share this hysterical poem with you that I had my PCP make me a photocopy of:.

I'll miss you all but be back by Sunday.

Loey

THE CAT IN THEHAT ON AGING

I cannot see

I cannot pee

I cannot chew

I cannot screw

Oh my God, whatcan I do?

My memory shrinks

No sense of smell

I look like hell

My mood is bad-can you tell?

My body is drooping

Have trouble pooping

The Golden Years

Have come at last

The Golden Years

Can kiss my ass!

Good job Loey! You made a chinchilla laugh.

I actually looked up chinchilla rescue today. I always wanted one. I think it might not like my dog. My dog would like to be friends.

Dave Carroll made big news up here, being a Haligonian. . ....(trying to flex my demonym muscle as much as possible 'round here)... . ... . .. . .

[kareng]

LIked how he was hiding out in the Ozarks. I've been to that bar.

[etta694]

You know.. chinchillas are amazingly brave. If you are sure your dogs won't do the 'bite shake' thing, they might really enjoy each other. Chilli is very social and I think he would love a puppy if we could do it...but we can't get a dog. (sigh.. someday, I hope) If you rescue one, try to get one that is young or very people trusting. If they are too old and half wild they are more nervous and it takes a lot longer to get them people friendly(which isn't that good for introducing dog friends too... but by all means, all chinchillas are cute). They are so neat!

My silly lab has finally given up, after 2 years, making friends with the squirrels. He would walk out, nose down, tail wagging. The rude creatures would run away.

I can see it now... " Hello.. I'm a dog... I'm a happy friendly dog...awwww Squirrel's gone..." My son wants a 'Cooper'.

never mind my son....I want a 'Cooper'.

And then, apparently, plaster 'em with paintballs. Or does she have her minions do that? I'm unclear on the medieval rules of the road.

That has got to be one of the most exciting, edge-of-yer seat, exhilarating spectator sports I have ever been privy to.

Methinks Bicycle Paintball Jousting should be our Psillyville National Sport.
