12:52 am

did you tell him that it's all right, cos in the end, everything blows up?
12:52 am

but maybe he wants to watch it because she didn't want to be married any more. He's mad at the moment that Dad is married to me, because HE's supposed to marry me. It's a 4 yo thing.

Greetings lynxxx, good to see you :)
4:23 am
FMitch

Tell me how lovely and warm and sunny it is is with you as it has bee pouring for 2 days now.
4:23 am
lynxxx

hi FM, ditto. Are you treating yourself to a holiday from work?
4:25 am
FMitch

HAve given myself a late start for work today as I only have 9 words left to find so as soon as that is done I will don the work head.
4:25 am
lynxxx

Lovely and sunny - maybe a tad bit warm - 34 today. Similar weather coming up for the next 3 days. Just need to start the day early and avoid the afternoon swelter
4:26 am
lynxxx

wow - 9 - well done. I am finding this a bit hard - still have 56 to find
4:26 am
FMitch

oh bliss although that is rather too warm.
4:26 am
lynxxx

You have no snow left though?
4:26 am
FMitch

How does Stewie cope with the heat - sleep?
4:27 am
FMitch

Touch wood no snow now for a couple of weeks although it has tried to but nothing has settled.
4:27 am
lynxxx

Yes and appetite falls off too (but a little weight loss won't hurt him - might get back that svelte waistline!)
4:28 am
FMitch

LOL
4:28 am
FMitch

How long has he been with you now?
4:29 am
lynxxx

3 years already - he is 5.5 yo
4:30 am

Ah yes I thought it was about that long, I knew you had found him during my babble time :)
4:33 am

And there goes my chat time for now - phone is ringing :(

4:35 am

Hello Haz - how kind of you. How is everything of there?
4:35 am
FMitch

Morning Haz!
4:35 am
Haz1558

Good morning, FM. We've had another skiff of snow and it's cold. Otherwise things are much as usual.
4:36 am
lynxxx

We have a government registry here where you can opt to register your phone number and then only charities/surveys can ring you - certainly cuts down on stupid cold callers
4:37 am
FMitch

WE do too lynxx for phone and fax but it only applies to UK numbers so call centers o/s the UK are exempt :(
4:38 am
FMitch

HAven't seen you for a bit Haz, have you been a busy bee?
4:38 am
Haz1558

I've been skulking. That sounds even worse than lurking, doesn't it?

It does indeed.
Morning suef
4:40 am
FMitch

HAve you been muttering under your breath too?
4:41 am
Haz1558

Something like that. I just realised that I was getting cross and miserable because so many people here were cross and miserable. I loved Les Miserables the show, but I have my limitations.
4:41 am
Haz1558

So, I've skulked.
4:42 am
FMitch

Fair enough.
Has RDA stated up again?
4:42 am
lynxxx

well while you are here we could get an update of the wedding preps...bridesmaid dresses - sorted?
4:43 am
Haz1558

We have a committee meeting next week and we'll start up, weather permitting, the week after that.

Morning frog
4:44 am
lynxxx

Is it a church wedding?
4:44 am
Haz1558

And the hotel sent through the new menu with changes and, (surprise) price increases.
4:44 am
lynxxx

never!
4:45 am
Haz1558

Yes, church wedding followed by afternoon and evening reception in a hotel.
4:45 am
Haz1558

I know. Price increases. I've never heard of such a thing.
4:46 am
FMitch

and don't mention the cost of petrol and the VAT increase *le sigh*
4:46 am
Haz1558

I know. If the price of petrol goes up any more, they'll be thumbing a lift to the reception.
4:46 am
lynxxx

A long day in store - I'll assume you have purchased a pair of flats as well as heels for yourself
4:47 am
FMitch

or a horse drawn carriage :)
4:47 am
lynxxx

I'm sure you could get a loan of some of the horses from RDA
4:47 am
Haz1558

Oh, I've not even started to look for anything for me. I'll wait until the summer stuff starts coming into the shops after February and by then the liposuction will have been effective.
4:48 am
FMitch

good thinking lynxxx
4:48 am
lynxxx

lol
4:48 am
Haz1558

Poor old RDA horses wouldn't be up to the trek. It's about 14 miles and a lot of it uphill. No, I'll check out bus times.
4:49 am
lynxxx

My girlfriend dieted and gymed for a year for her son's wedding - it's all slipping back now though
4:49 am
Haz1558

I've got less time than that...
4:50 am
FMitch

You don't need to lose any weight!
4:50 am
lynxxx

You most certainly have quite a head start on her - and several inches in height too
4:51 am
Haz1558

Oh, I do, FM. Just enough to destroy any chance of having double and triple chins.
4:51 am
Haz1558

Is your girlfriend short or tall, lynxxx?
4:52 am
lynxxx

short, about 5 foot one I think
4:52 am
Haz1558

Then we're about the same size. FM is the tall one.
4:53 am
Haz1558

When you're shorter, it's harder to carry extra weight.
4:53 am
lynxxx

Really - you seem so tall and slim in your photos - must be your bearing
4:53 am
lynxxx

FM - how tall are you?
4:54 am
FMitch

6 foot
4:54 am
Haz1558

Wishful thinking, lynxxx. I'm like the little teapot.
4:54 am
FMitch

oh Haz really! tsk.
4:55 am
lynxxx

Wow - how great. My daughter only got to 5'9"
4:55 am
lynxxx

I'm very avg - 5'6" - probably shorter now though - age!
4:56 am
Haz1558

We've never seen a photo of you, lynxxx.
4:56 am
FMitch

Good point Haz.
4:56 am
lynxxx

could be a reason! I hate p\hotos of myself, usually destroy them
4:57 am
Haz1558

Interesting. We need to send in a secret sq5/18 to capture you unawares.
4:58 am
Haz1558

In a photo, I mean. We wouldn't kidnap you.
4:59 am
FMitch

It would be lovely to see a pic tho.
4:59 am
lynxxx

We have a variety show show - which has Red Faces talent segment (funny acts obviously). The funniest act I have ever seen on it was a youngish guy who an amputee (missing a leg) who sang "I'm a Little Teapot" - truly funny
4:59 am
FMitch

Notice how she is trying to change the subject HAz?
4:59 am
Haz1558

You could put anybody's picture up, lynxxx, and we'd be none the wiser.
5:00 am
Haz1558

We'd suspect something if it was Kylie Minogue.
5:00 am
Haz1558

I've noticed, FM, I've noticed.
5:00 am
lynxxx

Haz reminded me of it
5:01 am
lynxxx

Changing subject again - so do you like my latest purchase?
5:01 am
Haz1558

I like it very much. What size is it?
5:02 am
FMitch

yr icon pic - it is lovely.
5:02 am
Haz1558

Phone.
5:02 am

18cm - or 8=9 inches
5:02 am

So elegant.
5:03 am

I'd better go help my daughter with our dinner - maybe see you later.

6:29 am

6:29 am

6:29 am
ChampFit

He's lucky to be alive!

6:30 am

6:30 am

6:31 am
ChampFit

I have one the same age. He's a good driver.
6:31 am
EspritdJean

must have been hit with great force to send him flying
6:31 am
jmcnrick

and the driver of the second suv saw what was happened and so stood on his breaks to keep from being pushed into another car and adding to the list
6:32 am
jmcnrick

no, the boy calls his miata a skate board -- it is very light and tiny
6:32 am

6:35 am

7:15 am
EvaNadine

7:15 am
carleekat

7:15 am
carleekat

carleekat

7:16 am
EvaNadine

7:16 am
EvaNadine

::pouts::
7:16 am
MollyL

Not on the Metro though, right?
7:17 am
MollyL

Must be something in the air Eva. I left my breakfast at home. Had to get McGrease.
7:17 am
EvaNadine

7:17 am
carleekat

i just woke up..( bed is cozy... coffee way downstairs in cold kitchen...sob>
7:18 am
MollyL

I know someone who keeps a four cup coffeemaker next to her bed. How's that for treating yourself well?
7:19 am
carleekat

i'd need a mini fridge too for the cream...I treat myself to cream always
7:19 am
EvaNadine

we have not one, but two Keurigs in our house (one is ours, one is our roommates)
im pretty sure on ours you can set the timer to have coffee/tea ready for you in the morning. i just havent tried that yet...
7:19 am
MollyL

Maybe that is just a treat for black coffee drinkers then.
7:20 am
ivesy3

dr 6/27 plz
7:20 am
MollyL

I refuse to have a coffeemaker without a timer. If I have to get up at 5:30AM, I want coffee ready and waiting for me.

carleekat

7:37 am
Mom

so glad to hear that
7:37 am
MollyL

You know, I find it ironic that someone made a huge dramatic point about having someone to live with in case something happened to him, and you have an accident when you are home all alone.
7:38 am
carleekat

its ok..i mean..i can walk etc...yea..a bit of poetic justice.....but...i apparently "dont count" as i can "take care of myself"
7:38 am
carleekat

WHATEVER

I tried crocheting once. What I attempted to make was pretty comical.
7:47 am
Mom

that is the way it was with me learning to knit Molly. I gave that one up
7:47 am
carleekat

i find it relaxing....i want to try this "new" tunisian method..uses a different hook and works up the way knitting does
7:48 am
carleekat

knitting i feel like i am stabbing something over and over and over again...
7:48 am
Mom

I saw a pattern for that yesterday. Looked for a hook at Hobby Lobby but they were out
7:48 am
carleekat

onceyou get good at the tunisian way...essentially any knit pattern can be done with a crochet hook
7:48 am
Mom

let me see if I can find the pattern.

Of course, your budget would be a huge influence on this, Carlee, but how about some potato (Yes Moll - more spuds!!) and leek soup, with soda bread. (actually anything involving soda bread and/or potatos is very Irish....)
8:12 am
periwinkle

8:13 am

potato and leek...good idea..

8:14 am

hey all. up early, have a parenting conundrum. trying to NOT enable the elder kid's lack of follow-through while recognizing there is significant involvment of his learning disabilities while feeling "dissed" because he denies he has a problem (until he needs help urgently) at the same time recognizing he is also not as mature as others at his age...

Hi ((Stid))

Ask him how he wants to solve the problem. Ask him if he would like input.
8:53 am

he doesn't want input. he wants me to fix it.
8:53 am
Scrabbler

I don't know that any high school senior is truly mature, but they sure think they are.
8:54 am
Scrabbler

Tell him this is a dress rehearsal for college--how will he solve this problem.
8:54 am
stidmama

he expects me to be ready, willing and able to "fix" any and every lapse; resents when I prompt him in advance; says he "forgot" (which given his learning disabilities is possible, but he refuses to make use of strategies to help...)
8:54 am

my parents used tough love. eventually kids need to face the consequences of their actions (or inaction as the case may be.)

he isn't going to college scrabs, not unless and until he gets himself more reliable
8:55 am
stidmama

I am thinking "tough love" in this case as well, EvaN. *very sad mama look*
8:55 am
Riverdance

being called at work - wow that was a fun minute...bbl
8:56 am
stidmama

I can't afford to support a "student" who doesn't study, thinks a paper can be written the night before it is due... and he is technically already in college (doing coursework for free while in H.S.) and thinks a "C" grade is acceptable and will get him into a 4-year school with scholarships.
8:56 am
EvaNadine

not sure what learning disabilities your son has, but my brother had a few learning disabilities too. my parents "helped" him so much that it actually became a disservice to him. eventually they had to cut the cords and let him really figure things out on his own -- down to almost not graduating HS on time because of it. but once he realized that they werent going to help him out of his mess, he picked himself up and figured out a way himself...
8:57 am
Scrabbler

I say to emply tough love--better now then later.
8:57 am
stidmama

I don't think he will finish, EvaN... after losing the computer (which he had not backed up despite prompting) with his senior project on it... *sigh*
8:58 am
stidmama

thanks Scrabs. look for angry posts from your younger cousin on facebook. *sad mama look*
8:59 am
EvaNadine

it IS sad when kids cant get it together on their own. but not graduating is a serious consequence. hopefully it wont come to that, but if it does, hopefully that will be the jump start he needs to be more responsible...
9:00 am
Scrabbler

I have already seen them, Stid.
9:02 am
MollyL

Stid, I have a kid in special ed because of a learning disability. He has always been taught not to let his disability "own" him.
9:02 am
stidmama

rofl while crying. yes. he is certain that every thing I do is designed to ruin his life. He doesn't realize that I went back to school to get certification because I think he will need some financial support for his whole life (unless a miracle happens) -- not because I needed a master's but because tom's income does not keep pace with inflation and there is NO extra money to set aside for college, financial help with rent -- or anything else.
9:03 am
Scrabbler

Life is tough + unfair for ALL of us.
9:03 am
stidmama

this one so much doesn't let the disability "own" him -- he is certain he doesn't have a problem of any kind; that it is all in my head and I do it to keep him from meeting his dreams
9:04 am
stidmama

and on the surface, in the moment, he seems normal, if quirky. it's only when he is asked to do specific tasks that things start to fall apart.
9:04 am
EvaNadine

oh yeah, thats you, stid.
totally conniving and scheming against your own children.
*snort*
9:05 am
Scrabbler

I see this lack of responsibility and accountability in kids with diabetes, asthma, etc, also.
9:06 am
Scrabbler

This is a superbly useful web site for teachers, parents and students. I refer to it often. www.studygs.net/
9:06 am
stidmama

wow. the news is showing snow back in philly again...
9:06 am
redturtlehead

sorry that things are not going so well right now Stid.
9:07 am
stidmama

thanks scrabs. I have seen that one before. But he won't look at things like that. If he looks he won't use. It's not even on his radar.
9:07 am
stidmama

thanks red.
9:07 am
stidmama

I, on the other hand... use many of those tips and techniques on a daily basis! If I don't keep lists, I don't get things done.
9:07 am
redturtlehead

I love lists! but...I am not in high school either.
9:08 am
Scrabbler

Denial is apowerful defense mechanism.
9:08 am
stidmama

but, I will try again.
9:09 am
Smdnjv

Hi Stid. Forgive me for butting in uninvited. Your oldest son sounds like my middle son. Remember drwed who babbled for awhile? He graduated HS and went to live with my Mom. She made him get a job, pay his own expenses, and buy his own clothes etc. Being LD also, he did not have the grades for scholarships. He went to Community College to bring up his grades, onto university with President's scholarship and now has Ph.D. My mom gets the credit as well as son. She did not cater to his LD and he decided he did not want to live "hand to mouth" and found ways, with help from caring professors, to turn learning disabilities into learning differences.
9:09 am
stidmama

I'll talk to my Mother before I decide one one way or the other on paying the fee for him to play in a solo/ensemble contest
9:10 am
Scrabbler

Another web site that I recommend for parents = empoweringparents.com. There are many articles about the challenges of dealing with adolescents.
9:10 am
stidmama

thanks smd! ((hugs)) something similar is going to happen with this one. He thinks he is going to take a week or two this August to go to a family reunion in Indiana, and a meeting closer to home. But no job yet...
9:11 am
Scrabbler

Yay for him, smd!
9:11 am
stidmama

so I am talking to him about needed to get an apartment in town -- but needing to have a job to pay for it!
9:11 am
redturtlehead

stid, it seems he may need a reality check from someone other than parents. as kids, we are always so certain that our parents are just wrong.
9:11 am
stidmama

I am hopeful that one of these days he'll figure out that he has to spend time studying (as opposed to reading the text once) in order to get better grades...
9:12 am
Scrabbler

I see this in young "adults." They tihnk they are ready for adulthood, complain about lack of freedom and independence, yet still want money and other help.
9:12 am
redturtlehead

Oh scrabbler do not get me started on the "you owe me" generation.
9:13 am
stidmama

When I was his age, I would have been devastated by a grade lower than "A", red -- if that's not sufficient input that a student isn't taking things seriously... and he is eligible for accommodations at his college; refuses to use them. I told him last night that I won't pay for him to retake classes.
9:14 am
Scrabbler

I see it everyday in my office, Red, and with my sister's 3 boys (22, 21, 17)
9:14 am
stidmama

smd, your story gives me hope, though. staying with grandparents isn't an option, but at some point he will likely stay witha friend.
9:15 am
Smdnjv

Good luck Stid. I am sure things will work out. It just may take a little time and patience....and tough love. ((hugs)) to you and stiddad.
9:15 am
Scrabbler

And talk to Doren about her younger son---graduated from Harvard's adult college program at age 30 or so.
9:15 am
stidmama

we don't live in town and he doesn't drive (see the whole motivation, study, follow-through thing -- again) so he has to live where there is public transportation.
9:16 am
redturtlehead

I certainly had my moments figuring out that my parents weren't going to fight my battles for me.
9:16 am

yes, many people do start to pull things together ...

OK I must run. Scrabbs, please if you can take turn at scrabble so you can continue to beat me!
9:18 am
Scrabbler

Stid, remember he is ONLY 18. He has much life experience ahead of him, especially over the next 4-7 yrs. Kids have to choose to say good-bye to adolescence and become a responsible adult.
9:19 am
Scrabbler

I just did, Red.

Annoyed that I missed a doc appt this AM because I didn't transfer appts to 2011 schedule book yet. $50 no-show fee now. Grrr.
9:28 am

I am going to call Mother and see what she thinks. After all, he hasn't picked out the music, so she can't practice and be his accompanist until he does

they have no-show fees at group health now, and at our dentist...
9:31 am

We chatted on the phone when he called me.
9:31 am

unless it's something really major, like traffic accident
9:32 am

Everywhere I go--MDs, dentist--there are no-show fees, even my own practice.
9:32 am

okay, calling Mother to ask her how she wants me to do this.

Dr Scrabs, would you come over + take a look at my ankle??

9:46 am

Annie, there is some debate about which surgical option is best, and the parents are thinking of getting a 2nd opinion.
9:47 am
Scrabbler

Sleep well, kje.
9:47 am
Scrabbler

Eva, what happened? Is this your rash or an injury?
9:47 am
Anniebrook

I remember when Bobby's doctor asked me how long he had been on doxy..i had no idea what he was speaking about and now I say "doxy" too


9:48 am
EvaNadine

rash seems to be cleared up finally. YAY!

my ankle has been bothering me ever since the honeymoon. dont recall actually doing anything to it, but ever since then, whenever i wear heels, my right ankle is sore on the outside edge + constantly feels like its going to give way.
everything is fine in flats.
9:49 am
Scrabbler

Solution = don't wear heels.
9:49 am
Scrabbler

Heels place awful strain on foot.
9:49 am
EvaNadine

heh, well, yes. unfortunately, the vast majority of my work-appropriate shoes are heels. and i DO like heels. would like to not have to be confined to flats for the rest of my days...
9:50 am
Scrabbler

Women + heels = rich podiatrists.
9:50 am
Scrabbler

I don't know how you, and other women, do that, Eva.
9:51 am
EvaNadine

i know, i know.
i wear them because i sit at a desk all day. :)
i commute in sneakers or flats. the only time im really on my feet in heels is walking to lunch or the loo...
9:51 am
EvaNadine

but even those short trips are hellish now. :/
9:52 am
Scrabbler

Pain = message from body.

Well, it's true, Crossy.

well, if im gonna go that anyway, how can i make it less painful....heh
9:54 am

::pouts::
cant you wave your magic wand?
9:55 am
Scrabbler

Or suck it up. LOL
9:55 am

:P
9:56 am
Scrabbler

Sorry, the foot is not intended to walk in heels. It's bad for your spine too.
9:56 am
EvaNadine

im much better at complaining than sucking it up. ;)
9:57 am

if you like eva,it could be a bone spur,i had one of those carved out of me by Dr death..err i mean our resident 80 year old bone mender and took 2 months to recover
9:57 am
Scrabbler

Eva, I truly have no other solutions for you.
9:58 am
Scrabbler

Although you could see a podiatrist and have him/her tell you the same stuff.
9:58 am
crosshair

he writes on the feet so he gets the correct one in surgery lol
9:58 am
EvaNadine

i do have a bone spur on the top of one of my feet. thankfully it rarely causes me pain, so doc + i decided to just leave it there.
9:58 am

That is now routine, Crossy.
9:58 am

Well, I am past halfway, so time for breakfast, shower and then the XC-ski trails!

Better now than later. There is a difference between helping and enabling. He must learn to be accountable to to solve his problems, including asking for help.
10:03 am
Scrabbler

Bye kids!
10:04 am
stidmama

oh cross, it's "tough love" time for the elder stidkid who didn't pay a fee for an activity he said he wanted to do. When combined with the fact that preparing for the activity will take time away from completing a (required for graduation) senior project... *sigh*


*very sad mama look*
10:05 am
crosshair

tough love can be hard but bears good fruit and a strong tree later on
10:05 am
stidmama

ultra-compounding is that I WILL go pay for the younger kid's participation in the same activity because he didn't have the same "lead time" to get things arranged (the band director doesn't always make sure he has everyone's attention before speaking I think)
10:05 am
stidmama

thanks cross. I really hope so.
10:06 am

get done what must be done,the fun time activities must wait..so sorry

my feet?
10:20 am

how tall are these heels that you can no longer wear?
10:21 am
stidmama

you said you have a bone spur (owie) and I was wondering if some of the lower heels that I have seen would meet your need for elegance without making your feet miserable
10:21 am
EvaNadine

any height, sadly. but i would guess that most are between 2" and 3.5-4"
i dont have many that are crazy high, most are on the lower end.
10:22 am
stidmama

I have some lovely new boots Mother bought me that have a 1" heel but looks like some of the crazy heels.
10:22 am

i do have 2 pairs that are kitten heels and those dont bother me SO much, but sometimes even those are tough on my ankles.
10:22 am
stidmama

oh. bummer.
10:23 am
EvaNadine

well, just the one ankle.
10:23 am
stidmama

I tried wearing some more elegant shoes for teaching in the fall, and that didn't do nice things for the plantar fasciitis. So I went back to more sensible shoes.
10:23 am

its like, at some point, it just sorta forgot how to do its job...
10:23 am

Can hardly wait to show off these boots! LOL
10:23 am

physical therapy?
10:23 am
EvaNadine

to be honest, though, i found the kitten hells awkward to walk in, even before the ankle issue.
10:24 am
EvaNadine

i will probably have to look into it. im too young to never be able to wear heels again!
10:24 am
stidmama

then don't use those heels. they don't look that comfortable to me. *sigh*
10:25 am
stidmama

well, a word of caution from "beyond" -- my grandmother who was a young adult in the 1920s wore those fashionable shoes as a young woman and suffered from bunions as an adult. don't sacrifice future mobility for fashion today!
10:26 am

hi peri

Aloy, the Arugula and White Bean Soup was a big disappointment. not thick enough. I would puree or mash some or all of the beans if I were to make it again. also I would not use red pepper flakes, alsmot chocked to death on them :(
10:53 am
periwinkle

geez, can't type today, but you get the idea
10:54 am
Aloyisius

oh, thumbs down on that one, then! fixed a wonderful broccoli cream soup last night
10:54 am
rururocks

I always puree some of the beans + a little white potatoes to thicken a soup without cream
10:54 am
periwinkle

that sounds good, Aloy
10:54 am
periwinkle

good idea, ty ruru
10:54 am
Aloyisius

cold night here, gotta have soup
10:55 am
periwinkle

love a thick soupd
10:55 am
rururocks

me too
10:55 am
periwinkle

do you just cut up the potatoes
10:55 am
periwinkle

?
10:56 am
rururocks

I steam them and chop them and then whip them up in the cuisinart with a little of the soup stock
10:56 am
Aloyisius

I just diced one potato and put it in with the onions and broccoli, added a nice texture
10:57 am
rururocks

potato is a necessary ingredient for bean soups I think
10:57 am
periwinkle

dicing sounds easier but both ideas are good
10:57 am
periwinkle

now you tell me :)
10:57 am
rururocks

the red pepper should be added when you are sauteeing the onions I bet.. to have tehem integrate better
10:58 am
rururocks

A little bit of chili flakes go a lonnnnng way
10:58 am
periwinkle

the red pepper was added when I was sauteeing the garlic. but I will just eliminate it
10:58 am
periwinkle

indeed
10:58 am
periwinkle

mihgt just add some kind of hot saude instead but a little bit of it
10:58 am
rururocks

sure you can use black or white pepper to get the same flavor without the hear
10:59 am
rururocks

heat
10:59 am
periwinkle

sauce even
10:59 am
Aloyisius

maybe you could use La. hot sauce instead
10:59 am

For that reason Soodle, they invented The Weather Channel. I have the same disorder
4:20 pm

i have been commenting the people who survived snowmaggedon in DC last year are suffering from PTSD--post traumatic snow drama
4:20 pm
Soodlebum

Oooh. Now I am seriously jealous. I love CA. I hope you are having a wonderful time there. By Bay Area, I presume your in San Fransisco?
4:21 pm
bichon

Yes, San Mateo, about 10 miles south of SF. It was 42 outside this AM when we took the kiddies to the park. Pretty chilly. But, the sun is out this afternoon so it's much nicer
4:21 pm
Soodlebum

SNOWMAGGEDON. PTSD Oh thank you JMC. Now I have a technical name for my condition. Thank you thank you thank you.
4:22 pm

At least in our town in CT, they do a great job of snow clearing
4:25 pm

My m.i.l. moved from Miami to Richmond a few years back to be closer to her son the doctor. I don't think she's very happy about that deciion
4:27 pm
jmcnrick

which richmond? va?
4:27 pm
bichon

yes, one and the same
4:28 pm
bichon

they do a rather poor job of clearing the roads and the sidewalks there. For omeone who's turning 87, that's not too great
4:28 pm
jmcnrick

there is also a richmond indiana and texas and probably some other states
4:29 pm
jmcnrick

no it is really hard being in a place without the infrastructure to deal with snow
4:29 pm

well, I mentioned Richond caue it's 100 miles south of you.
4:29 pm

4:30 pm

I can't imagine living in an apartment complex where the snow isn't cleared out of the parking lot and the walks. What is she paying rent for?
4:30 pm
jmcnrick

it is an intricant wood floor sammy
4:30 pm
jmcnrick

that definitely sucks bichon and she should complain
4:31 pm
Soodlebum

Use the high scoring tile, Sammysmom....
4:33 pm
bichon

I think she has complained jmc. I can't imagine that happening in the town we live in. If people complained to the city, they would clear it, charge the owner and them fine him.
4:34 pm
Soodlebum

Bichon, my mother also has a 'My Son The Doctor'.... IF he was drowning in the ocean, I am convinced she would yell....'Oh somebody, please save my son..THE DOCTOR'!!!
4:36 pm
jmcnrick

if it were me i would hire someone to clear it and deduct it from my rent and let them take me to court over it.
4:36 pm
jmcnrick

but that is me
4:36 pm

4:41 pm
Soodlebum

My mother, bless her,reckons that as she put 2 of her offspring through medical college, by some sort of osmosis has an honorary degree in medicine. She dispenses advice and medicines to her cronies, who, alarmingly, actually listen to her. Its terrifying.....

I so 4/4 of think people might need a story so here it is.My dog is a very ad5/14able dog. We got him when he was seven months and he ad7/40 to his new home very easily. My dog was not fully house trained when we got him so we needed to ai4/5 him with that. As a puppy, he was not a qu 5/16 dog, but he has qu 7/44 down since then. When he was a puppy he ra6/24 my closet and would te 4/4 up my shoes. He does not do that anymore, but he's still very enthusiastic. He will play ball with you for hours w/such ar5/12. He loves to roll around in the di4/5. My dog likes to sit&watch TV w/me. My dog will sit next to me on the ed 4/7 of the sofa and dr5/14 one of his legs over mine.My dog does not like the id4/5 of sleeping late. I have to get up early&get my butt in ge4/7 to take him on a walk. My dog doesn't have a bad od4/5 which is good since I really hate dogs that smell.Once my dog marched in a Halloween dog pa 6/24. He pa7/40 up and down the street like he was the king of the world. My dog won a rewa4/9 for wearing the best costume.My dog was rewa6/36 with a free grooming appointment. My dog also likes to sit in the passenger si4/5 of the car and listen to music on the ra5/12 as he ri 4/5s in the car This is the end of my story. My de4/5 husband wants the computer.If I do not give it to him,he will go on a tir5/12 and cause a ri 4/4 and will not qu4/7 until he gets his way.I really do think his mind is wa6/36 with his addiction to Farmville.Usually I don't give a do4/5 about his antics, but I'm tired. I did not have time to be an ed6/21 & ed4/5 my story so please excuse the mistakes. Ad 5/12!
