Oh boy, am I glad I copy and pasted that. I lost it the first time too.

Jan, cool pics.
Marsha, it's going to be low 90's all this week, not sure after that. Sounds like a fun trip. Probably not able to get together this time? Maybe the next time you come north. I think recon is out of my future, too. More surgery just doesn't sound good, unless I take the other boob. Still holding on to it as long as I can.
My son, Jacob, is 20. His original plan had him coming home at the end of this month, I guess that would be part of his visa. If he was working he could stay longer. It's all a little confusing because he left all of his stuff at the guy's house and he seems to be a little afraid of this guy. He seems to think this guy could get him in some sort of trouble internationally. I told Jacob to check in at the embassy, just in case something goes wrong. I'm still thinking he will come home in a few weeks, he just has to get his ticket back from the guy's house!
Labor Day is nice. It's the last day our pool here is open. They are having a pool party this afternoon. Micah is so excited.
For those of you needing carpets cleaned, my dh bought a home cleaner a few years ago and cleans the carpets about every 6 months. He doesn't move the majoy furniture. He worked for a pro for awhile and they said that the carpets don't get dirty under the furniture, so why move it? It makes cleaning it more often easier.
Cheri, I wish I could have seen your post, yes, I'm nosy. Plop down in the center for awhile.
Had a lot more to say, but forgot to take notes. Using the school laptop I brought home. Such a cool toy! Happy Labor Day.0 -
Sheri and Denise - My mom and dad bought us the Bissell Pro-Heat 2x carpet cleaner last Christmas. It works as good, if not better than the professionals that I paid to come in and clean for me.

OMG I went to photobucket looking for a happy labor day pic and I swear on the first page that came up there was a close up of a women with her bare legs spread and a baby's head coming out. That's it. Just two legs, a coochie and a baby's head. Type in "labor day" and it is on the first page right by the cutsy cat. (No pun intended) Having never BIRTHED a baby it was like passing a wreck on the side of the road and can't stop looking. EEWWWWW0 -
Okay, took the bait. Having "passed a wreck" through my legs three times, why would anyone post that pic?? I wouldn't want my coochie all over the www looking like that.

Hi Everyone,
I am almost caught up reading.
I didn't get to meet Shel this time, but she will be back again soon.
Yesterday, had a wonderful evening. We had great grilled steaks with sauteed mushrooms, green bean casserole, fresh corn and a lovely red wine out on the dock at sunset. We also had some visitors - a HUGE mama manatee and her baby.
My husband Jeff watching the sunset.
Off to feed the egrets, be back later.

Good Morning Everyone. It's a beautiful day here .. sunny and high of 86. Karl is surprising Audrey with a trip to Hersheypark. Perfect weather for the new waterpark they have. Audrey went one other time all summer and it was after 5 when the prices go down so this will be a real treat .. going from when the park opens at 10 until it closes at 8. Ava and I will enjoy a quiet relaxing day together.
Nicki .. I'm glad you have off today and are doing the traditional labor day get together! I hope you have fun!
Regarding MySpace, go to your InBox to retrieve your messages!
Wild/Jan .. Incredible pictures, thanks for sharing!
Marsha .. Yep, Karls birthday is on 03/03, same as Nicki's. I'm thinking Cheri is a Pisces too but I could be wrong about that. I'll have to ask her. Wow, that houseboat sounds magnificent! Enjoy yourself at the party today...go hungry, I bet the food is awesome!
Cheri .. When is your birthday and what sign are you? It was wonderful chatting with you last night, it had been way too long since we did that. You CAN do this. I think I may be the only one who saw your rant before you deleted it! You need to stay in the middle for awhile sweetie.
Lini .. It's nice seeing you posting more here. Speaking of Foobs, I've heard that you don't need a bra with them. Do you ever go braless and how does that feel? I've heard you can wear any bra you want but for some reason I fear the underwire. I'd double check with the PS or maybe Karen and others can answer that. My sister sent me a website that appears to have decent non underwire bras. I haven't ordered any yet but you could check it out if you want. http://www.championcatalog.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?prnbr=1A0139&cs=upsell
They have an excellent return policy and just ask that you wash worn products before returning: We back our unbeatable products with unbeatable service. Return any item, any time, for any reason, for a refund or replacement...your choice. With us, you're always the champion. They often have free shipping offers on orders over a certain amount but when not shipping is only $5.95.
Okay, that was more than I meant to post and it looks like I have a vested interest in the company .. I don't! Just looks like it might be an option for us. In the meantime, make that phone call to the manager.
Vickie .. I hope you're feeling better today. I think smashing that window probably got a lot of frustration out! Thank you for the sweet comment on myspace this morning!
Sheri .. I hope your son goes to the Embassy. They should be able to help him get his stuff back also.
Hey to Colleen and anyone else who comes along today! Gotta go, Ava wants mommy's attention! Have a great labor day everyone.
Love & Hugs,
Charlene
Oh Marsha, that's just wrong!!! I selected the other pussy for my image to post!0 -
Wishing everyone a happy labor day
got started late today0 -
Also stopping in to wish everyone a happy labor day
Going to bake cookies to send to my military daughter for her wingman buddies (they took such good care of her when she was sick). Also sending some to the Veteranian daughter...she is working long hours and not eatting enough.
Oh, those taking Bellamine-S, or a variation thereof, I tried to fill my RX and was told the company has quit making this drug. Have an onc appointment tomorrow, so I'll see what else he has in this magical bag of RX options.
bbl after reading the posts0 -
TRICIA>how cool is that, a wild manatee with baby at your dock! I lived in Jacksonville for a few years, hubby was stationed at Mayport. Never did see any sea creatures while at the beach.

Good Morning Friends. 7am and it's already 80F out there. Guess were not gonna get a reprieve this weekend.
Charlene, did I tell you how pickin cute Ava is. I have pics of my grands eating their first corn on the cob too. How funny is that. Also their first pickles, and spicey whatever.
Margaret, I don't know if you can get it at Costco. Don't have one close to me. I get mine at walmart. You have my sympathy. Sac in the summer is not a fun place to be.
Madison, Batbusters it is. hahahhahahah
Socal, do what I do. Sit on the couch and let them tear up your house and worry about it when they leave.
Odalys, thats one fancy pool. Wish I was there.
Karen, a new kitchen, yippee! My daughter got married almost 8 years ago and still calls her mommy at least once a day.
Charlene, a 4 hour nap. You were tired my dear.
Inquistive is a very good thing. The constant jabber is tiring but how else are they going to learn about their world. Yesterday we found a Katydid on the porch. Poor thing was very close to death cause I get my house sprayed but we'd have never caught him if he wasn't......we had a grand conversation about them. All three kidlets got to hold him. They thought that was just way cool.
Cheri, you can do it. Just keep dangling that carrot in front of your nose. I hate that you have to do these infusions yourself. That just seems totally stupid to me.
Nicki, wehn you log onto myspace it will take you to your home page. Scroll down and you will see on the left, New Comments, New Messages, New friends requests. Just click on them. Wondering if all that fruit juice might be participating in your high blood sugar.
Colleen, they did indeed, about 8:45. Annoying their mom to no end. They are going to be worn out and crabby when mom comes to take them home.
WildJan, that is very very cool.
Marsha, whew.....I thought you were gonna go all normal on me. I was scared. I do have the perfect haunted mansion. Even have the creepy chandelier on my porch.
Passing a wreak? hahahhahahhahh I have pics of all my grands as they have come into the world. I was the official photographer for each event. I promise tho, thats not my daughters coochie. hahahah
Sheri, Hope Jacob takes your advice and checks in with the embassy. Thanks so much for the warm fuzzies. I had my daughter when I was 10. hahhahahahahhhahah
Someone asked how old the grands are. Dorian is 6 (7 in Nov), Senta will be 5 in 3 weeks, Ileeah just turned 3, Koen just hit his first year mark.
Tricia, that is so very cool.
Off to feed the kidlets. See you later.0 -
Lini, I have to laugh at your consternation over posting/taking notes/getting overwhelmed. Me too, hon.
Marsha, i would love to come to Florida with the girls. DH doesn't want to and that's my birthday so it would cause hard feelings at home, i think.
Cheri, i'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. I think I'm draggin' your infusioned butt to Springfield today for a Bar-B-Q.
I have no more time. I am wishing I could live on this board.
No real job for me. I just had a temp job for 6 days. that's ok. more irons in the fire.
s.0 -
hey y'all
I am slowly catching up here. I just want to say to the girls going through a hard time, or who have sisters who are sick, we are praying for you and them and are keeping you close in the middle.
I saw the PS this weekend for my squeezing/draining and now the latest is tomorrow morning if it is not better, he will send me to an interventional radiologist to drain me under guidance. Is it me or does that sound incredibly painful???
In fact, the term "interventional radiologist" scares the be jebbies out of me!
It has been very exciting around here on The Island of Misfit Toys, which is what I call my town.
The police have been here on my street alone, TWICE since last night. Once was for a turf war going on between two neighbors who have been having a pissing contest about whose property what is on. It escalated to one neighbor installing spotlights on the side of their house and then shining them into the house next door. That then was reciprocated with THAT neighbor turning the drain pipe from their basement pump into THEIR driveway flooding it out. ( we are on the water so we all have pumps in the basement) It went down hill from there and the police were called.
Then this morning a couple is visiting at this other house. It is owned by the mother of the wife of this couple. Apparently there was a fight this morning between mother and daughter and the daughter pushed her mother or something and so her husband, the son in law, called the police on his wife and talked her own mother into having her own daughter arrested. I heard this conversation. The policeman was saying YOU REALLY WANT ME TO ARREST YOUR DAUGHTER???? But the son in law/ husband was adamant. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the mother, she is young and was not hurt. So I think this is a marital issue gone insane. Thank heaven they are only visiting.
This is a quiet little seaside town... everybody knows everyone...and now we know the police.
Good Lord. Sometimes I feel like asking these people if they have a clue what a real problem is.
I am staying in the back yard today!0 -
Howdy CG's and Peter
I just finished reading several pages of posts but didn't take notes and now I can't remember...grrrrrrr. The muscle relaxer is working; hands are better. The down side is that feeling of being disconnected. Yuck...don't like it one bit.
Cheri - you can come here and rant all you need/want. We are here to help you. Do you need me to send the Pink Ladies again?
Marsha - yeap, I saw the picture. Now you see why they call it labor? I'm not surprised that picture is there. I have even seen porno pictures on that site. Maybe I should notify the Mojo thread...hahahahaha.
Vickie - glad to hear you booked a flight and are headed for Fla. DH told me not to worry he can drive me to whatever city you will be staying at. Not that I can't drive myself. What a guy! I'm so excited to finally meet you. I'll have to check the other thread to get all the details.
Oh rats...I forgot what else I wanted to say. I'm going back to check all the postings again. BBL0 -
Hi girls~
Just poping in for a "quickie".
Wild/Jan - awesome pics of the truck. Thanks for sharing. I agree with whomever said it - I still can't believe the 911 thing happened either. Just now remembered I'm traveling for work this 911. I don't think I've actually been in the air on 911 since 2001.
Tricia - how cool is that? BF lives on a lake in OK, and we occasionally eat outside by the water (when it's not 100 degrees) and sometimes we get to see debris float by (from all the heavy rains and flooding earlier in the year) but I have a feeling the manatee are much more impressive. I'll post a pic later, as I'm sure you're all anxious to see
Hugs to all ~

Good morning to the Circle. I am trying to come here more often so I dont get so behind reading posts. It can take hours to get caught up for just one day.
Karen-No damage from the earthquake. My husband sells cars on craigslist all the time. I havent bought anything there yet.
Charlene-Nobody made me dinner yesterday but I made ribs, corn and potatoes. Then we all went to Dairy Queen last night. So much for losing any weight yesterday. We rented Are We Done Yet but I only watched part of it. It was pretty corny. The kids liked it though. I think my kids like the library because they think they are getting something for free more than anything.
Nicki-Good morning to you too. Have a good BBQ. I am glad you are having a nice week-end. You deserve it.
Cheri-You just stay in the center of the circle all you want. If you are looking for a warm place just come visit us in S. CA today. Hope your feeling better.
Wild/Jan-Thanks for sharing. That is just amazing.
Marsha-nice to see you. Catered party. Wow I want to come.
Lini-You are probably about the same distance from that quake as I was. That is probably what you heard.
Sheri-Enjoy your pool party. It is so nice to have friend and family around for a day.
Tricia-Beautiful
Gina-Sorry you are having such problems. Squeezing and draining alone sounds painful to me. Good luck tomorrow.
Well happy Labor Day to you all. My dh and one ds are going out to a friends to work on a race car. In this heat I think they are crazy. Me and little ds are just going to hang out or go to a movie or something.0 -
Why am I so teary today? I've been crying off and on all day. WTH?!! So, not like me. I don't want to cry anymore.
Ah, crap!! I hate when I feel this way. Somebody come make me laugh. Maybe it's the end-of-summer blues. Sorry, for the rant, but I know I'm safe here.0 -
Here's a pic of Ethan and one of the watermelons he's grown.

Hello to all!
Success! A carpet scrubber was found! It totally amazes me how much sludge and crap you pull up when you think you live in a "clean" house!
I like using the "Rug Doctor" ......whoever said their parents had the bissell, I had one for quite sometime and it did a good job.....think it got lent out to much and it finally bit the dust.
DH has talked about buying The Rug Doctor.........What's up with that?! Why pay 600 or 700 dollars for a scrubber....yet he thinks $500 is ridiculous for the Dyson Vacumm that I want. Scrubber....use 3 times a year.....Dyson....use 3 times a week!
Anyhow, I'm letting them dry a bit and I'll run back over them with just hot water and see how much more crud I pull out!
Marsha: First post from you in awhile and I was laughing immediately! INVALID MY ASS............love ya!
Nicki: Enjoy the BBQ today!
Vickie: Ouch about the car........and you were "frigid" at the time! Glad you had the baptisim......
Nicki: I love it, for some reason, "dunked" in the creek!
I too like Shirleys idea of being 'dunked' in a hot tub!
Madison: Can I be one of your daughters and get cookies too?!?! I'm sure they will be happy.......kids always like surprises from Mom!
Brenda: Enjoy your day with the little one!
Shirley: Glad you enjoyed your days with the little ones! Or should I say Survived your days!
Odalys: Like the pic.......have a great day.......ain't it grand to 'forget' in mid sentence! That's me everyday!
CasinoGirl: I thought you went to the lake for the weekend, not I see that BF lives on a lake.........boy, he does teeth and he does lakes..........hang on to this one!
Gina: Neighborhood sounds scary to me! Take care, or, take cover!
Susan: You had me scared for a minute.......I thought you reallly had gone and gotten a job!
Cy: If you check in I sent you a pm earlier.
Gotta go finish these carpets before the hands totally give out on me!
Hugs to all!

Hi Girls,
Just checking in. Alls well here. I had a case of canceritis last week and called my onc. I have a small lump on my upper eyelid. My DH says it is a stye but it doesn't feel like one. The onc nurse says that it doesn't "sound" like cancer. I am still not convinced. She told me to see my primary doc or eye doc and if they are concerned they will fit me in. I hate to panic so I am trying to stay calm. I have an eye appointment on 9/29 so will go from there unless it gets bigger by then.Don't mean to whine,really I am feeling calmer now.
Gina-That sounds painful to me to.Your neighbors sound like a soap opera,Live!
Denise-Don't work too hard.
My DH and I just had a few days with a couple friends. It was nice and relaxing.We are off to a BarBQ now.
Have a Great Day,

hmmm...just popping in to see if I can post quick before the internet goes kapoowie. Having problems with internet and phone today and it's driving me nuts. Can't use either one for more than 10 minutes and they quit. It's the same with the neighbors too. Called the phone company but knowing how they operate it will take them at least a week to find us.
hot hot hot again! Really cold nights and really hot days...weird weather all the way around this year.
Hmmm...Lini needs a smile...I think I'll give ya a hug for now...love ya sweet girl. Plant your hinney in the center with Cheri and we'll take care of you. I think you should meet us in Florida.
Donna popped in for a quickie...hmmm...there goes our reputation again.
Ethans got a whopper of a watermelon! Hmm...wonder if I jumped in my car and headed that way he'd share? What a cutey he is.
Denise got her carpets done finally. What a day yesterday was...now I have to call the insurance company tomorrow to replace my window LOL...lets hope its halfway warm tomorrow or its gonna be a chilly ride to work.
WildJan...love those pictures. What a lot of detail.
Joyce has canceritis...that really sucks so I'm sending you a hug. I have my oncology appointment on the 11th and can honestly feel myself getting nervous already. I hate this disease.
Odalys...I can't wait for vacation time. I miss my daughter so much. I love the beach and ocean so it's gonna be a great time. I do believe I may have to sedate MB to get her on the plane though. I was that way when I flew down last year...first time I had flown and to be honest it still doesn't thrill me. It will be so wonderful to see you. I am hoping some of the girls that aren't working can stay with us...one day or seven...doesn't matter...we'll all squeeze in and have a ball.
Gina...sounds like a soap opera in your neighborhood. Hiding in the back yard sounds like a good idea.
Jankay said the P word!!!
Brenda is off to the movies...have fun.
Ok...back to crocheting and being a bum which is all I've done all day today!
Love and hugs

Karen, did you find a china cabinet? I love Craigslist for things, especially furniture. You'd be surprised how many people put brand new things for sale there because it doesn't fit the space or other pieces in the room. Hubby buys and sells cars there all the time. Look for the bras on eBay, I paid about $14 for the exact same bra I paid $72 for at Nordstrom, and it was brand new. Good idea about school outings.
Charlene, yes, we have lots of cars. I have seen him buy frames from two cars, put them together to make one car, paint it, and sell it for $25k. One day I will post the pic of his 34 Ford coupe, or my son's 67 Chevelle. These are in addition to our regular cars we drive every day. The man likes his toys, whether it's cars or boats.
Cheri, sending you gentle hugs in the center of the circle, how are you feeling today? Boy, that watermelon is almost bigger than Ethan.
Nicki, yup, the Halloween stuff is out already. Hope you had a great time at the BBQ. 6 minutes is better than no minutes. Tomorrow make it 7 minutes.
WildJan, great pics of the 9/11 memorial.
Marsha, you'll have a great time on the houseboat. We had one when the kids were younger - and we had a few jetskis that the guys had built a winch for so they could put them on the second deck so they were out of the way. Did I say my husband liked his toys? I didn't even want to look at the labor day photo on photobucket.
Lini, calls Nordies and complain. I don't even use my credit card there so the service can't be about the credit limits. I wear a 40DD now and try to be careful about underwires but I don't worry about it too much. And yes, exchange that pink silicone heart shaped pan you will never use for something that you will. You did a good job posting, and even better that you copied and pasted! You're in the middle of the circle....hugs to you.
Sheri, good advise on having Jacob check in with the embassy. We need to get that boy home.
Shirley, my house is kidproof for the most part. The kids know where to stay away from.
Gina, that sounds like a soap opera. Hope you are feeling better, and an interventional radiologist sounds - interesting.
Denise, forget the silver dress - I tried it on yesterday and it's a little short. Is going to make a nice top and jacket though to wear over black velvet pants.
Joyce, hugs to you. I'm sure the lump is nothing but it's best to check it out.
Amy and Shirley, stuff has been bought and boxed for your nephew and son. Probably go out Thursday since I have the day off then.
It's HOT outside but I don't think it's as hot as yesterday. Everyone from Amy to Z enjoy what's left of the weekend.

((lini))
Of course you are safe here... hopefully we all are! Where is jankay today? She has all the funnies. I wish I could make you laugh, but am really in the same boat. Cry at the drop of a hat. I must admit to laughing at several comments in the posts today.
For instance, Donna talking about her BF living on the lake... and watching DEBRIS? float by. I couldn't help but laugh.
Tricia, seriously, your pics are beautiful. Where in FL do you live? My son, his girlfriend, my sister and I are planning a trip for the week after Christmas and want to go far enough south that it will still be warm. Started off looking at Key West, now we are looking at Key Largo...lol.
May end up in St. Pete. Never can tell.
Marsha... glad to see you back posting. I laughed out loud when I read your description of what you saw. I was looking around on the site the other day and found an old thread where you were talking about doing a play. How is that coming along?
Odalys, thanks for the good wishes, but I am sad that summer is over. It seemed to fly by. I don't know how I feel anymore really. All I know is that there is not enough time OFF!!! (Can I get an Amen!)
Vickie... Clyde got loose today and a neighbor called to tell me. When I went home to check on him (and by the way, Clyde's dad was a German Shepherd, his mom a Siberian Husky...he looks a lot like Diesel), I got a dragonfly dance!! It was so incredible. Thank you for the beautiful pics. I wish I had a video of you and Nate in the creek.
I was baptized in a baptistry in a Southern Baptist Church when I was in college. I didn't know that the preacher wasn't going to hold my nose (why else would he put the handkerchief over my face?). So when I came up out of the water, I tried to blow the water out and they said I came up out of the water "blowing like a whale." Not the nicest compliment, but it was true.
NS... squeezing and draining? Sounds like a type of torture. So sorry you have to endure this! Neighborhood sounds like what I call a "full moon" neighborhood. Staying in the back yard seems like a good idea.
Well, boss came in and now I have lost my train of thought. Wishing all of you a happy day and a peaceful evening. Hugs to all. Pam0 -
Cheri..before I forget...I did mean I wish I could stretch my arms across to you for a hug..I just love that watermelon picture..those eyes say it all.
Brenda/BMD..no I didn't feel the earthquake..funny how that goes isn't it!!
Jan..yes, the earthquake was about an hour or so northeast of San Diego...
Peter..that is some photo taken at the stadium.very impressive..
Just went out to Walmart to get some pills..it was 105 degrees...wow....sure glad we got the A/C..even if the guy took forever to install it..
Vickie..sounds like a fun trip..
Jeannie..there were thousands of Cal Ripken Jr. fans there...I think there were something like 225 busloads just who came up for the ceremony...we were also there for Brooks Robinson which was also cool...
Colleen..glad you are having fun on the beach in Rhode Island..we lived there for a while...love the air there...
Pam..sounds like they put on a good show at the baseball game..
Charlene..glad you had such a restful Sunday..sure does help doesn't it?..
Nicki..love your little smiley face..so cute..
I saw a dietition at the hospital and she put me on the DASH diet...she claims it is the healthiest..I think they have a website at Dashdiet.org......

Just a quick fly by .. SoCal those grands are just adorable!
Lini needs a funny and I happened to see this one in my inbox today that I actually posted before and Denise referenced yesterday:
9 WORDS WOMEN USE
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the (meaning of nothing.)
6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8. Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F@!K YOU!
9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's
wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.
Oh, and one more for pet lovers:
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door: To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children0 -
Thanks Charlene. Funny, my DH and I just had an argument last week over his use of the word "fine". He uses it when he doesn't want to commit. "The dinner was fine." "Your boobs look fine." "Son, you did fine at football practice tonight." Fine?! I say, "whatever!" LOL!!

Lisa--
Brooks Robinson too? Wow, were you lucky---every Oriole fan's dream come true. I was at the Wrold Series game in '71 right on the third base line when he made that famous catch that you still see pictures of on occassion---parallel to the ground, hand extended, ball just landing in his glove. No wonder they called him The Human Vacuum Cleaner! Hmmmm---maybe I am a MLB fan after all---at least an Orioles fan, even if I don't live there any more and they can't play for beans, the last I heard.
Gina---Wow, backyard sounds like a good idea to me too! Did anybody tell those folks the full moon was LAST week?
