And may I remind you, Nikki, dear, that weeds are GREEN. There is really no need to be concerned about them; from a distance, they blend in.

Well *I* KNOW!!!....... just wish someone would tell me Mother

Everytime she visits, she berates me for the amount of dandelions in me lawn

I tell her that as long as the grass is kept short they blend in.....but me Mum's lawn is like a bowling green (do you pholks have 'Bowls'?? )

Exactement. Some weeds are actually a lovely shade of emerald, harlequin or jade. I simply pretend that they are acceptable plants, placed intentionally. . . . . . ..

Nik - I would LOVE LOVE LOVE your garden - - can't STAND the mundane grounds here, where growth is not occurred, but constatly clipped and shaped.

quoted meself - meant to say, where growth is not ENCOURAGED, ha.

yes, you wouldn't believe the letters we get.......they want to remove about $180,000 worth of TREES now.........DON"T GET ME STARTED!!!!!!!!! (we are all leaving them in and some have written letters)

Love her

...but wait do Stepfords allow dogs on their lawns ???

NO, they do not! You can get in trouble for thsi, also.

Need to move to an overgrown, weed-infested (like Nik's? ) commune...........

Nikki - cradling Bo Bo - poor, wee, nutt-less little muffin!

And may I remind you, Nikki, dear, that weeds are GREEN. There is really no need to be concerned about them; from a distance, they blend in.

this is EXACTLY correct.

OMG - there is almost NO worse panic........what about when you try on a shirt or dress that's too small......you've managed to get the garment ON yer body, but, when comes time to pull it over yer head, your arms are completely stuck........bent over, in a panic, hyperventilating with this thing stuck over your head............aggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! always terrifying as I wonder if they're going to have to bring in the Jaws of Death to extricate

AHHHHHHHHHHH,....I know this well- that and rings- you get it on but may have to buy it cause you can't get it off!! :o

[CarlaB]

Beans and rice are cheap.

hhhmmmm. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to stop ripping the blackberries and nettles out of my yard, as both are edible.

[curlyfries]

You and me both! My 'Susie Homemaker' days are over!

edit: No reference to you, Souczle!

BTW Carla.....For some ridiculous reason I started reading this thread from the beginning and saw that you are a flautist.......me too.

I haven't played in a couple of years, though.

[CarlaB]

I didn't play my flute for 23 years!!! I picked it up about four years ago and from day 1 was playing it at church, LOL. The whole parish got to hear me re-learn it!

[curlyfries]

Post count just rolled over!

So far, the only phluid phenomenon is that I'll probably be sleeping with tissues up me nose tonight.

My DD and I would noodle around together when she was in HS. We played a duet for my in-law's anniversary party about 10 or so years ago......DD was in MS. We also played in a quartet for my niece's wedding a few years ago.....that was awesome! And then we played a duet at my son's wedding a couple years ago and I totally blew one song.......too much stress and emotion......I should have never agreed to do it.

Sillies-- This house hunting thing is so un-phunny. We are just not having the luck finding anything....and we arent being too picky either.

My sister had a slight domestic accident this evening, she was sewing on her machine and the needle went through her finger. It was the heaviest gauge needle you could get....split off her nail and she was in the ER to get repairs....of course she had to send me the pics and they were gross!

Omg....ouch!! That does sound painphul. Hope she can get some sleep tonight.

Don't lose heart--sometimes it takes time to find the perfect house. It's a big decision, so try and be patient. You'll find it, though--I know it's out there Then all this time spent searching will have been well worth it.

[blueeyedmanda]

Thanks Patti I am trying to not lose sight.

It has been a while since I put my silly on and posted here. There have been some troubles in the business world that have diverted my attention. We are working more hours at the moment, but things are actually much better since we got rid of a problem employee on Tuesday. We're off tomorrow, the first day off in almost two weeks. I haven't read everything that I missed, so if I seem clueless about something, well, you know, I'm over fifty now.

Things sound better for ya, PeOter - - just as many hours for you, but less stressful, as you have a new, dependable person at the helm. So glad to hear this.. . . . .

Had A TERRIFIC evening at my friend's. She is ill, but in so many ways she is just like we were as teenagers. So positive, and happy.. ... . .. and here I was, complaining about my car that needs repairs and the fact that I can't fit the electrician in next week. . . .. ...

Puts things all into perspective, for certain.

I need to see her more often, to realize how incredibly lucky I am.

....How I dassent worry about the silly things that I do.

I hear if you sneak up on them very quietly, you can grab 'em before they run away.

Thanks for the reminder. Easy to get caught up in things that, in the long run, are unimportant. Really, the only thing that matters is the people who touch our lives

Soooo true

Love you all!

[Jestgar]

WooooHOOOOO I'm the first post of the morning!!

I NEVER get to be the first one

Yesterday, when I went for my walk, I thought I'd walk a little farther so I went one more street section before turning downhill (ruralesque here, street sections are 1/2 mile).

As it turns out, the streets are named a bit inconsistently (old territorial roads) and I got lost. I ended up at this beautiful little cove and walked along the edge of the water. Roosters off in the distance. The trickle of water down the hill, finish its journey to the sea. The smallest slap of waves as the last of the ocean's power dissipated against the shore.

I'm gonna try to find it again this morning.

[elye]

Ya beat me to the post, Jess! Good morning. . . . . I do hope you find that little heavenly place again this a.m. I WANNA LIVE ON THE OCEAN! I've just got our meandering Ottawa River. .. . .. and hordes of snarky Canada geese squawking and pooping all over everything. Boy, if you were underneath these creatures while they let some of this go in flight, you'd look like a mud-wrestler. . .. . . ...

Thanks for the reminder. Easy to get caught up in things that, in the long run, are unimportant. Really, the only thing that matters is the people who touch our lives

Yep. I am SO lucky to have a great friend like this, who not only brings so much to my life, but serves as a constant, valuable reminder of what I've got. Man, all I have to complain about is that my daughter wears stupid clothes and one of my students can't seem to understand the present perfect. . . . . ....

The Ripper returns this afternoon from what must have been a rather wet outdoor experience at cub camp. Everything will be damp, muddy and smelly. Now, this I simply can't help but complain about. . . . . . ......

[nikki-uk]

AFTERNOON peeps (apologising for tardiness)

I WANNA LIVE ON THE OCEAN! I've just got our meandering Ottawa River. .. . ..

ME TOO!!!

Something magical about the open sea.

No doubt he had a FAB time full of tales (and smelly damp clothes )

Had a lay-in today as my gym class is cancelled until this eve.....it's lunchtime and I've only just got dressed

[jerseyangel]

Mornin' Sillies!!

Ahh--normalcy This is nice!

Em, you're so right--life is too short and fragile to get caught up and waste time in things that don't really matter.

Nik--what's Tel makin fer dinner today? Hee--I haven't even eaten breakfast yet

Wow Jess, where you live sounds so beautiphul! Take a wrong turn and end up in a water trickled cove. Nice!

Hey PeOter.....getting thy sillie back on!!

This makes moi happy--checkin in wif me sillies in the morning.....gawd, I missed that. Ok, off to start the bacon.....
