    Good evening, ladies.

    Deb, I really enjoyed your bear/gun story. Don't you love little dogs who are willing to take on the world? LOL

    Shel, I am so glad you don't have to fight with your job now. That won't effect your vacation plans, will it???

    Sue, welcome. Lots of wonderful people here.

    Amy, I am so happy for you that you got some good news.

    Z, I love reading your posts!

    Good Gravy! I finally made it home. No way I can read this many pages. Can I just get the Cliff notes???

    I want to know WHY??? WHY people can't learn to drive in one lane....and ONLY one lane. I've never seen the like of people crossing over the line into my lane like I did today. I think all those drivers coming home with me were on drugs! Seriously, you only get one lane per car people! That's my vent for the day.

    LOL...try living out in the sticks where I am and dealing with tractors hooked to equipment that takes up BOTH lanes! Totally nuts! They are tractors for cripes sake...pull over in a field and let the string of 20 cars go by! It's really fun when they meet someone coming the other way and they have to back up half a mile to a driveway to get out of the way.

    Vickie - checked out the nukemboobies. You were much nicer than I would have been.

    Jas - my husband drives down the middle of the road half the time. Drives me nuts! I won't ride with him anymore. We usually take seperate cars. I mean geez - there is a line there for a reason.

    I hate tractors and don't get me started on wheat cutting season.

    Back from the doctors. Man person still has his staples. Doc said maybe next week. Dang. BUT doc gave him Ativan so maybe he won't be so crabby anymore. Yehaw for me. If they don't work on him I'll take em and not give a hoot if he's crabby.
    So I wasn't gonna say it, but I just have to.....I LOVE BEING RIGHT!!!
    While hubby was at the doctors I ran over to the lab. A definate perk of living in a small town. Asked them to show me where the celiac test results were on the gazillion papers I got......they weren't there cause they didn't do them. Geez louise!!! Poor tech lady was very very sorry. She is very pregnant so I cut her some slack. They sucked more blood while I was there. Results in a couple of days. Now just have to figure out why the MM tests are not normal.
    3 pages since I left. Yowsers....here we go...

    shokk, the entertainment never ends. Hope you got a phone #

    Vicki, twix are bad for your teeth.

    Socal, indeed! And you raised a doctor. Took me 3 years to get thru high school biology. I'm clueless. But I fake it as best as I can.

    Shokk, Failed miserably at high school spanish. Hmmm are you all getting the idea I wasn't very attentive in high school?

    Margaret, yippee for printers.

    Liz, no such luck. I'm coming for dinner. Leave the light on. I'll be late. So did the films tell a good tale?

    Tapping fingers waiting for Amys report...maybe next page.

    Beth, bras? What is up with all the bomb scares? I am sooo glad I don't have kids in school anymore. Not that that makes them any safer in the world.
    I love Chicken Marsala. Coming to your house tomorrow. Read not to Liz.

    Jankay, hugs to you my friend. Did you have a hard time at PT?

    Have a great night Nicki. Tho you won't see this till morning. Consider it a retro-active well wish.

    Denise Denise Denise....copy and paste my dear. It's easy as pie. Once your done typing, highlight the text, right click mouse, hit copy. Hit continue. If you get the page invalid thing just hit your back button and paste by right clicking mouse again. Try it, you'll feel totally accomplished. And you'll have saved the post it took you an hour to compose.
    Hugs to you hon. I can't fathom the pain of losing a child. My shoulder and ears are hear if ever you need them.
    Will say a prayer for the family of the teenager lost yesterday. Such a waste of life.

    hehehehehhe Liz, we are so on the same page. If you've got this far you'll see that I covered everything from manperson, crabbiness, bloodwork, to ativan. You crack me up.

    If you are lurking HI KATHY!!

    Have a grand time socal. GO PADRES!!

    Hi PBD

    Jaz, isn't that little yellow line in the middle SUPPOSED to line up with the center of my car? hahahhahahahhah

    Shel, remind me never to drive in front of you.

    Have to go figure out what to cook for dinner. Wish I really could show up on Liz's doorstep. Grandmas recipe sounds yummy.

    I think the post was okay. That is why I'm not joining the 'not so secret' pals thing. I'm such a horrible flake when it comes to things like that. In the case of these journals, this is a totally different thing though. People like Peggy sent pictures that are probably irreplaceable. That's just sad. These women need to step up and do the right thing.

    Ok Vickie you operate the backhoe, I'll take the king sized tamper to make sure he stays put.

    Jankay....It's not fair with all you have right now. I'm so happy you found this site.

    Shirley...maybe add some more to his coffee???? Wait maybe I meant that for Robin.hehe

    Amy...ok I took a breath, but still holding out for the rest of the reports. Please send more pictures of the "kids". Someone at work is getting rid of a 9 month old Westie...I would love to, but my dog is so alpha...never happen but still trying to find a home.

    DMDeb...All I can think about is Green Acres and you're Liza in your furry heels and silk robe..xoxo

    Liz...good to hear from you today.xoxo

    Anne...I think the rads bothered me more than chemo. My rad onc and regular onc fought over whether I should do them or not, so when I did, I wasn't mental prepared for it. Good luck and sleep when needed.

    Lisa....We're big Phillies fans here and my older son and I went to the game Sunday. There is nothing so all American that a warm night at a baseball game.

    AI is on so must go. Love to all .xoxo

    ok ladies...it's off to bed and my crochet hook for me.
    Thanks for all you replies about my "mean" post! I have a tough time being mean but was very disappointed after reading Peggy's post and feeling her disappointment. I do know that the girls who had the boxes are still here and posting, chatting and well so what their excuse is...I don't know and I guess it doesn't matter...we will move on with the project without them.
    Cheri, Mena, CY, Robin, Jankay, Anne,and all you girls in the center...giving you a hug and making sure your tucked in and warm before heading off to bed.
    Welcome again to all the new girls.
    Love and hugs to everyone...Nicki, Shel, Margaret, Susan, Liz, Tgirl, Z, Madison, Amy, Karenindenver, Lini, Sheri, Deb, Lisa, Beth, Shokk, Shirley, ... hmmm...my brain is failing me...EVERYONE...

    OMG...I actually spit out my water at the green acres bit! LOL. The really funny thing is that green acres is on the TV when we are getting ready in the morning. My kids have started turning it on while they are eating breakfast. I had never watched it, but it is TOO funny. I have a pretty simple sense of humor. I think I have more in common with Arnold the pig…he had some pretty spiffy hats you know. Plus, he gets all the “good” lines

    You ladies make me laugh

    our first house was a nightmare with stuff like that.

    couldn't do laundry and cook at the same time, couldn't shower and run water, couldn't microwave and use over the sink light at the same time etc. etc. and the funniest part was the hose outside ran boiling hot water ......... i near about scalded my child the first time i filled up her little baby pool.......... and we had this crazy 1/4 garage thing going on because the previous owners built a laundry room into the garage. crazy, crazy house, but sadly, it's the last time i remember 'earl' and i being truly happy despite the hardships.

    seems like the more we moved "on and up" the crappier things became ......... thank goodness i own my own house now, and can enjoy the home ownership woes all on my own lol!

    well girls as we all know life is not fair. chester was out ofwork because the plant closed and he had worked there 30 yrs N had a job since he was 17/. that is why 7 mos out of work was hard. but thank thelord, he starts work thursday morning working for one ofour old bosses. so maybe there is an end to the tunnel.
    i get depressaed easy and get offended easily, but i am thankful for the wagon circle and the camp fire. just bear with me and overlook my tantrums/

    Following Person

    A teacher was sitting at her desk grading papers when her first-grade class came back from lunch. Alice informed the teacher, "Paul has to go to the principal's office."

    "I wonder why," the teacher mused.

    "Because he's a following person," Alice replied.

    "A what?" the teacher asked.

    "It came over the loudspeaker: 'The following persons are to go to the office.'"

    A quick note to say good night girls. I have been really busy at work, and between my son's activities and just trying to hold my head above water in general, I feel like I just keep getting more and more behind on what's happening in the circle. So I'm just going to try to read a few posts at a time, respond when I can, and stop stressing about it for heaven's sake!!

    Denise - so sorry about this month being the anniversary of your son's death. My good friend lost her brother when he was 13 (she was 11) in October, over 40 years ago. It's the same for them - good and bad memories, just an emotional roller coaster. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you have a good support system and friends and family that understand how difficult this time is for you.

    NS - how are you feeling?

    Mena - it's getting warmer here on the east coast, but still chilly at night. Hope you are wrapped in your afghan, warm and cozy.

    Tracey - what is happening with work?

    Shel - There is probably news about your work, I hope things are proceeding. BTW how's the tatoo looking?

    Nicki - Are you exercising? I have really good intentions, I'm just not following through on them!

    Vicki - Did you post baby Derrick pictures? I thought I saw a post saying how cute he was, but didn't see a picture I don't think.

    Amy - It sounds like something is up with you - like you're waiting to hear from a doctor. I hope all is well.

    DebC - Lions and tigers and bears OH MY! Funny story!

    OK, well this trying to remember and not really sure if I'm posting the right response to the right person is less than satisfying, but it's all I can manage for tonight.

    A big, huge welcome to all the new girls in the circle!

    Oh jankay, you sound really down! Hope tomorrow is a better day.

    Jasmine, Nicki - I CAN"T KEEP UP HERE EITHER!!!! This is just over whelming.

    Nicki, stay on that diet - please don't want me fat(fatter). I had to go see a CPA today, old high school friend and one I dated a few times - I've sure put on weight from that 117 lb. girl he remembered. Yes, he had to but somehow it looked better on him. These last two years I look like I have aged 10.

    Amy - thankfully you got some news and it was nothing like your dream or the worries the stress from waiting was creating.

    Sue, welcome. This is a very chatty group.

    Anne, sorry to hear about your Dad. You've been going through some tough times.

    Deb - thanks for sharing the bear story. I think we all love to hear stories you have about the wildlife. My favorite was you stopping by the lake on your way to take rads - that was so very real.

    Vicki, I have no idea what you are talking about on the journals or your post. I'm really kind of lost on lots of stuff here.

    I discovered couple of weeks ago what I thought was a simple mistake by our CPA on our 2005 taxes. Well, that simple little mistake is now going to cost us $3500. plus interest. I took the return to my high school friend who is a CPA and he told me yes, we owe it and said "Brenda, this is a big mistake; someone didn't review their work". I am not a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On top of that, I have an employee that has worked for me the biggest part of 10 years. He may be 27 but he acts more and is about as responsible as a 16 year old. He doesn't pay his house payment, van payment, power, water - nothing is ever on time and he pays so much in reconnect or late fees; behind on the doctor visits for his kids to the point the won't see them anymore AND his parents always pay his way out and three months later it starts all over. He is a problem for me because he steals from me. I can't catch him - he is good, very good. I have to catch him and his posterior is GONE!!!!!!!!! I want proof - save me lots of grief as this is a small community. I have no idea how much he has gotten me for over the years. I trusted him until about l l/2 years ago. I'm sure his stealing has been an ongoing problem he just got more and more greedy. I have a security camera in place, I need the recorder - a good quality one. Tried to get in touch with a guy today that installs these. I want one that is very clear. No wonder my head hurts. He knows the camera is there but knows there isn't a recorder attached - just let him keep thinking that way. To think how hard we have worked, what we get out of our business, what I have been through and he steals from me. Oh, I want to nail his posterior gooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gina, Cy, Cheri, Amy, Jankay, Anne, Robin,Z - anyothers that needs the warmth of the fire and the strength of friends - come close. We have you in the center and we will keep you safe.

    Good night everyone. Hugs and blessings, Brenda
