Nik, forevvins sake! Take good care of theesell; t'is a long time to be crappy. I had often wondered how old "wee" Alzy was; had not pictured 17!! Gads, ya can't call him "wee" nae more, and he definitely needs a more grown-up name to mark his 17th year!! Even if it's only Al

Yeah, Nik . . . wee Big Al!!! . . . Much better and more phitting for a 17 year old!!! Hope yer pheelin' better soon.

Sloozen . . . sorry to hear about yer hubby . . . hope something (better) comes about quickly.

Josie has a phriend over for the weekend. Willa is here for the next 24 hours. Willa is about 4 months old and is a golden retriever. She's a cutie and already annoying Jo-dog which surprises me. I really thought Jo-dog (who has had lots of practice annoying everyone) would be annoying Willa!!!

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!!

OMG! My husband got laid-off today!

Welcome to the club.....only my hubby was fired. They NEVER lay off. It's been over 2 months, now.

Can you not get COBRA insurance in the meantime?? Assuming finances would permit???

GADS, that is sooo expensive! I got insurance through my job, but insuring hubby on mine is out of our reach, also. So he doesn't have insurance at the moment.

On another note.....closing happened this morning--went off without a hitch.

WOOHOO!!!!

Ya know, one day I'll be back down there, since my son's not too far from you!

At least its not _snaughing (ssshhhhhh)

Hush yer mouth!!!!!

Sewzan.....My husband's bosses were told they had to let more people go, and hubby was the highest paid in his department......and the most knowledgeable and most dependable. This is what yer daddy meant when he said life wasn't fair.

[curlyfries]

What can I say. Onward and Upward, I guess.

That's Right!

Like you, I'm pissed, but I have to believe there is something better out there for him. I believe in the 'another door opening' idea...just wish it didn't take so long!

Keep the faith.......we're here for you

[jerseyangel]

Ya know, one day I'll be back down there, since my son's not too far from you!

And when that day comes, you and Brain better let me know!! We'd love to see youse guys again, and this time under much happier curcumstances

Yeah--Mark was the last hired and higest paid in his department....actually the deprtment manager. The company he was with eliminated the entire tier of middle management in one fell swoop. It was right before the holidays (November 14th of last year) and it was a nerve-wracking time.

His position down here is better (GM), and thank goodness it came along. The trade-off is that we had to move away from the boys. Ya just never know......but Sleezen and Leesiugh, hold tight and I know something is going to come along fer your guys You are all in my thoughts.

[jerseyangel]

I believe in the 'another door opening' idea...

Me too

[nikki-uk]

ps...Nick, get better and Iam... are you diabetic?

Nah, all the bad genes are on hubbies side......namely celiac disease

Nik, forevvins sake! Take good care of theesell; t'is a long time to be crappy. I had often wondered how old "wee" Alzy was; had not pictured 17!! Gads, ya can't call him "wee" nae more, and he definitely needs a more grown-up name to mark his 17th year!! Even if it's only Al

..and he is infact taller than me!!

He will always seem like 'wee Alzey' even though he's the middle child! I think it's because he has learning difficulties and still has an air of innocence 'bout him (unlike me other boys )

Congrats Pat-Tea!! . . . ummm . . . on the house, not on finding a bottle of sugar cola in yer phridge!!

I'd like to commend her on both actually!!

Ya just never know......but Sleezen and Leesiugh, hold tight and I know something is going to come along fer your guys You are all in my thoughts.

This really choked me up, just thinking of all Leesar and family have been through ....... _{<dunno what's wrong wiv me ... I keep crying at the drop of a hat>}

....but I heartily agree!!

Now you just stop that!

I was emptying out some old e-mails recently and came across one from Jess. She had given her phone number and said if I needed anything at all........

*sniff*

....... 'twas a good cry, though.

I think I still have e-mails from Janet and other psillies, too Have tried to get rid of some, a little at a time.

Time to move on........

[elye]

..and he is infact taller than me!!

Gah! Isn't it astonishing when this begins to happen?? The Ripper does not have to look way up to me anymore.. . . .this pleases him greatly, but for me it is a measure of time passing.....of me getting older... .. . . ......

He just ain't a little kid anymore! He's got glasses, and stinky feet, and an oft-mopey attitude.... . . ....

At least he still hates his sister, and remains GREATLY embarrassed by me when we are anywhere together.

Jeez, when he and Sophie start to become friends, and Jack can suddenly relate to me, I'm done for.

Hey!! I can get a muumuu here for like, $18!!!

Got up at 3:30 this morning, got on the 5:20 boat, took the limo to the airport and sat around for a loooooong time. Got to my hotel about 2:30 Hawaiian time and made myself go walk along the beach. Achieved my goal of going to see the pink hotel. And I am completely wiped.

Gonna try to do some homework, but I thought I'd say hi first.

[jerseyangel]

Hi Jess!!! All the way to Hawaii

I've been so out of the loop lately that I didn't know you were there already! How long will you be there?

Make sure to have some phun sprinkled in wif yer work OMG muumuus!! I remember when I was little and my grandparents came home from Florida with one for all the females in the family--my grandmother thought they were the greatest things We just didn't have such exotic things in Syracuse.

Be careful and be sure to lock yer door well at night
