1:34 am

Jandy

I was just going to say, Kiwi, that it might help your children if you suggest that their father is probably embarrased and ashamed and that might have to do with his lack of communication... they tend to not think of adults having those emotions.

1:34 am

Jandy

Excellent, diem.... that's how I like them!

Andree

i'm still an ambling armidillo

2:18 am

moonwoof

I dont, personally... and my work revolves around weekends... I'm sure if it were a long weekend, here, I would know already. I'm guessing that people do take them off, but it's not national.

2:18 am

Andree

did the kids get a laugh out of it mrp

2:19 am

mrpresident

I must admit, I was a sluggish snail for about 2 goes! LOL

2:19 am

Jandy

My friends boy has Aspergers and a decent school that gets him and appreciates him. So far this year he has kids wanted him to help with their home work and he also received a $20 canteen voucher for breaking up a fight with a bully (that hit him) and another kid.

2:30 am

Jandy

So, sprite, all I can console you with is that this, too, shall pass. And a perfectly nice person (not the axe murderer I used to worry about when my oldest son was that age) will pop out the other end!

2:30 am

sprite

thanks, Jandy! I truly hope so! ;)

2:30 am

mrpresident

Jandy

Take care of it, ard and take it easy...

2:32 am

Andree

2:32 am

mrpresident

I have been witness to that with a few of my friends with teenage boys... they would rather they just run away from home than have to deal with the crap!!

2:32 am

sprite

lol, mrP, no drama here, just desperation. I need to find a way to keep the atmosphere pleasant, even if he isn't... ;)

2:32 am

mrpresident

ie, they would rather their child run away from home

2:33 am

Jandy

Oh, I would have gone myself cheerfully some days!

2:33 am

sprite

sometimes I feel almost ready to run away from home myself :D

2:33 am

sprite

snap, Jandy!

2:33 am

mrpresident

ah, desperate times call for desperate measures! measure out a 5th of vodka and shamelessly relax!

2:33 am

Jandy

At least you can still hit him where it hurts... at that age he needs things like lifts and money...

2:33 am

sprite

LOLOLOL... at 8.34 am, mrP? Ok, perhaps I am not that desperate ;)

2:34 am

Just1Mar

Jandy

Just, that is exactly my oldest who is nearly 28. Married to a great girl, just moved cities, at one with himself and the universe..

2:35 am

2:35 am

herinfernallady

my head hurts

2:35 am

sprite

you guys give me back my courage. My son is beautiful at heart and we did give him a strong and selfconfident foundation... he will come through ok.

2:35 am

Jandy

Sprite, I actually think they really WANT boundaries set at that age.. I think they get scared by what's happening inside them and are looking for solidity in their world. Ooh, watchout Dr Phil! LOLOL!

2:36 am

dart001

2:42 am

sprite

2:42 am

Jandy

I think I should just get up every morning and tae the pill and a big fat antihistamine and get it out of the way! I need it most days anyway!

2:43 am

Jandy

Oooh... haven't taken my iron yet, today! Bad Jandy!

2:43 am

thanks lori

6:45 am

kje

advice from my experience - take the next lortab before the 1st one wears off - even if it means setting the timer for a few days!

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Keep your foot up, take your pain meds, and get better quickly, Ardilla!

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Good advice, kje.

6:46 am

ardilla

hello everyone, whoa, 338, strange that a grid this size doesn't have any 9's or 10's, of course, it does have 10 8-letter words, so I guess that makes up for it

7:35 am

9:23 am

Angelsong

before I bid my ad6/24, I will say this grid did not take an ae4 to finish. I haven't ag4/7 more than an hour since I began it...I determined not to ce5/12 working on it until it was done. I did not need my cl6/21, to dig in, either. I went de4/6, and de6/24, then de7/36 of all into the words as I worked on the grid.

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

de rien!

I feel as though I just had a bit part in a zany comedy. Today is deep-cleaning day... vacuuming the mattresses, flipping them... you know...moving everything out of the way to catch lurking dustbunnies. I am also caring for my grand-kittie... six months old and full of vinegar. I was balancing the king mattress just right to get it to flip, without too much strain... the kitten jumped on the clock radio, leapt, landed on my head and I reached out to save the clock radio, lost my balance, twisted my back, and the kitten landed in my bucket of fresh (thnak goodness) soapy water. I need a hug

12:28 pm
