Off until Monday afternoon, have a friend coming in on Saturday (female) and for the first time since I have been single, over five years, going out dancing and having fun on New Years Eve. See if this old lady still has it in her to have a night of fun. Not sure if I remember how to dance. Hope you all have a Happy New Years. 2007 is going to be a good one for me.

Happy Monday
Just wishing everyone a happy Monday! Is it Monday already??  I worked all day Saturday, but was off yesterday. Whew. Just stretching the old back muscles a bit and then getting back to the keyboard.

Happy 20 years to you! nm

Happy birthday! You are 40 years young.

Happy Birthday to us! I wish you well and abundant blessings in the coming years...
Since afternoon is here already,
this is a bit late, but I definitely think you need to go to the ER. I would think a CT scan or MRI, even a spinal tap may be required, that's how odd it sounds to me.
Don't delay.
YEP.. usually afternoon
I have had a coke or something to help me wake up, so maybe I should not do that.. I know they say not to, but sometimes we do without thinkin... will try the high protein & low carb.. cut the caffeine.. thanks.. will let you know if it helps.. i don't do it all the time, but i have days it is horrible.. thanks again..
Dog Day Afternoon :) Very cute!

Did you go to the afternoon showing?
I only do that (costs less for me) because I would hate to pay full price and get a crappy show I did not like.
Rain or shine, what about an afternoon at

Mowed lawn Friday afternoon. sm
It started to rain around 10:30 but the rain suddenly went away. I decided to mow because my neighbors were probably upset. They had already done their lawns, but mine was overgrown with weeds. Aesthetically, it looks better, but I have to find something to get rid of the weeds. They grew the prettiest purple flowers, though. Didn't mind them so much, but I know my neighbors probably though the lawn was an eyesore.
I have an upsetting problem and need some advice by this afternoon
After my mom died, I buried her in the family plot. My cousin's husband (Joan and John) asked if there were any lots left (yes, 2) and could they have them. Since they lived in the same town all their lives, I gave the deed to them. I also told them at that time (7 years ago) that I had bought lots for my family and I would be willing to move my mom - I still had some money then. They said it was not necessary.
Joan died Sunday and John called my aunt to get my phone # and asked if I moved mom. I said I didn't because no one really asked me to do it. He told the kids that I refused to move mom. The lots are split, one on the side of mom and one on the my grandfather's side. I think they wanted a stone with both their names on it and buried aside of each other. One of the kids called my aunt yesterday and said there was no hard feelings, but that her dad had called me a couple weeks ago and asked me to move my mom. He didn't do that because he didn't have my phone number!! My aunt told her that, but I'm not sure if they believe her.
Anyway, the viewing is tonight and I should really go, but I'm afraid my John will cause a scene and that's the last thing I need. I'm literally making myself sick in the stomach over this as I can't afford to move my mom now.
Any advice? Should I still go or should I stay home? I've been running this through my mind ever since he called and can't come to a decision by myself.
I will have to see the kids at the family reunion in August, but it may blow over by then. John hasn't gone to the reunion in years so I'm not afraid he'll be there then.
P.S. Over the past 5 years, I have been getting panic attacks at viewings.
Live alone, don't eat lunch. Usually don't eat until late afternoon.

Afternoon or evening ceremony? What is the other mom wearing? What looks good on you?
s
Doesn't offend me to hear Happy Holidays, Happy Hannuka...sm
or any way someone wants to greet me. As a basic rule, people use the greeting most comfortable to the speaker. What does burn my butt is when someone tries to tell me that my comfortable greeting of "Merry Christmas" is not appropriate. To those who are not concerned with my comfort, I have no concern for theirs.
Merry Christmas to all.
He will be 10 Monday

What a boring Monday!!! (sm)
My line count is low today even though I am working my butt off to try to bring it up. I come over here for a break and it looks like no one has posted anything new for hours. Doesn't anyone have anything exciting to say (I don't!!! was hoping you did!) LOL
Monday would be a great day to have off!! (sm)
Hope your daughter feels better soon - those antibiotics usually kick strep pretty quickly!
Go in before Monday and buy the Forever
stamp, you buy it at the current rate and it is good no matter what the postage goes up to.
Birthday wish to justme2....Happy B-day to you, happy B-day to you. now make your wish...
I wanted to wish you a very Happy B-Day...I am aging so tomorrw I may forget or at least remember at midnight...LOL...to all you celebrating B-Days this month, Congrats
Went to the semifinals of DWTS on Monday!
I was lucky enough to snag a pass to Dancing With The Stars on Monday! Wow - what a totally fun show that is! (I am SO addicted!) The dancing is even more amazing in person than it is on TV - those people are unbelievable. I just wish I could go again NEXT week, as well. I think any of the 4 couples could've won, and was sad to see Ian have to leave. Still, my money is on Apolo!
(BTW - it really is TRUE that televison adds 10 lbs... everyone there is considerably thinner than they appear on camera!)
Zip. Hub's and bud are reshingling the roof on Monday. nm

I agree with you. Did you see all of the "fans" on Monday? sm
Totally sickening!!! And even worse is the Falcon players who had Vicks number on their face and other visible signs on team players. Personally I feel all Falcon players who made a public show on Monday night football should be fined or suspended, and if that means the whole team is suspended then so be it!! Truely disgusting!!!!
Had lapband surgery on Monday and
To anybody out there that has had or is thinking about having lapband, the first three days are very hard but they get much easier as far as the pain goes. Now, it's a matter of learning what I can and cannot eat.
IMO, it is very much worth the hard work before, during and after the surgery that goes into this whole life changing process. Do not let ANYBODY discourage you if this is the path of weight loss that you choose for yourself.
Good Monday Morning
Good morning all.
Haven't looked at our weather yet, so I don't know what we will have today.
I just cuoldn't sleep, so up I am and just put the coffee on. Come on over and have a fresh cup of coffee and I'll make us some breakfast.
Just turned T.V. on and so now I can watch it an hour longer. I'm going to have a problem with this time change.
I should be working on our income tax, and it's a little overwhelming even thinking about it.
Just a little laundry today and that's about it.
Have a great day all of you.
Why does today feel like a Monday?
This morning after washing my face I picked up a cream I put in my hair so it is a bit more controllable, and rubbed it all over my face thinking it was my moisturizer. The 2 containers look nothing alike. After I got dressed and went to wash my hands I used my new foam soap dispenser and the soap shot all the way across the sink and all over my clothes. Then when I went to take one of my dogs to the groomers the other dog got out the front door and I spent 20 minutes chasing him all over the neighborhood. Got to the groomers and they did not have my dog down for an appointment. They did keep him, but can't pick him up until between 4:30 and 5:00. DS has a tennis match at 4:30. SIGH! I am tired already and it is only 10:45. Someone please send some strength my way!
Stamps go up 1 cent Monday
I first heard of it today, they're blaming it on the cost of gas to deliver mail. At least this time I won't have all my bills returned for a stupid 1 cent more postage, like happened last time.
how I spent my Monday morning...sm
Just wanted to say how much I missed this community while I was away...take a look at the picture I've linked...that's my neighborhood during our mandatory evacuation from the Marek Fire in California... Didn't know if I should post this here or on the mental health or prayer request boards LOL! Grateful to have my home...and my home office...next time you dread Monday morning...keep this as a reminder to renew your perspective! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
why is everyone so mean on a monday? geez, how would you like to be shut up in a house never to go
i had a dog get attacked and killed about a month ago by another dog in my own fenced back yard. never seen the attacker dog before in my life nor again since the incident. you can't always protect your pets just like you can't always protect your children, but yet you have to give them some freedom. would you lock your children up in the house never to go outdoors because of the violence? i think not. the OP has a valid point and her SIL is being extremely disrespectful and careless with her dogs.
to the OP, i would tell MIL that she is responsible for those dogs while they are in "her care" and to do whatever it takes to keep them off your property. you have the right to protect you home, your property, and your animals. i'd get a bb-gun and shoot them until they learned to stay out of your yard.
We have snow flurries and 20s today. It was 65 Monday...sm
gotta love this crazy winter we're having!
It's Monday...What's for dinner tonight folks?
Cat here....Been wondering what you've all been up too. Been kinda lost as well considering my computer died over a month ago and was finally resurrected this morning.
Tonight's fare will be venison pot roast style (about 4 hours on top of the stove) with string beans and potatoes side, hot water cornbread and strawberry jello for desert.  Cat

Did mine Monday, tiny refund $58 - sm
and "accepted" by the IRS on Monday night, so all done. Just need to print out the state, sign and mail off with our payment to them by May 1. Will probably do that over the weekend then will be all done.
The cat happened Monday. Toilet trauma was Wednesday.
I think I'm fine...just accident prone this week.
I went to a strawberry pickin' farm Monday. The owner sm
told our large group of homeschoolers (both moms and dads) during our tour that he had to learn the hard way that women make THE GREATEST strawberry planters. He said he hired a bunch of men one year and that was the last time he did that. He said now they are all women - they take their time, take pride in their work, and just do something for the soil where he has huge, gorgeous berries whenever they plant them. All the women there broke into applause. I thought it was so funny. I just liked seeing a man actually admit to something like that.....
Lucky Gwyneth!!! Go ahead, make your Monday :)

Hubs had me a delicious huge chocolate cake this morning and daughter coming over for pizza tonight, oh forgot working today also but like I said, hard to give this terrific life up, that is a life in between my working!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Hope it is a good one. nm

My feelings; people shacking up together for years and years
and then all of a sudden deciding to get married don't need a thing, obviously. A shower should not even be given. I lived with my now husband a while (nowadays who doesn't!) before we married and I also had been married before years ago but he was not....so of course HIS mom wanted a shower. I told her absolutely not unless it was just the immediate family, his mom, sisters, etc, more like a celebration/get together. And so that's what we did. Showers are tacky, period. Unless it's a couple of young kids getting married straight out of the house and that doesn't happen much anymore.
Happy Birthday to you, then you can wish me a happy birthday on Friday! sm
Aquarians Rule!!!!! LOL
Been with a man 13 years older, now with a man 4 years younger.
Younger is better, at least in my case ;)
Sorry, meant 75 cents. Still, that was years and years ago.

I studied to be a scopist years and years ago
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Note reader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive for me. But I am familiar with them and even found my book from the first course I took. Looking back I think it would have been a blast if I had kept up with it.
It is definitely legitimate. A lot has changed since the early 90s, so I'm not too familiar with the industry now. I do remember what was really weird was it didn't take a lot for me to learn it. For instance I could look at a line of court notes and see something that looked like: NV p srn - and I seemed to know exactly what it said. Just weird. My DH used to say that I understood it because I was an alien and my ship crashed in Roswell. HA HA HA Anyway...that's what I know about it. But if you Google note reader scopist or at home professions i'm sure you could probably find a lot of info.
I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!
Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.
There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.
Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.
I studied this years and years and years ago
Most definitely is legitimate. In the late 1980s I studied to be a note reader scopist through a group called At Home Professions. I loved it, but unfortunately could not continue due to no funds. It was reading the court reporters notes which looked like a grocery receipt with a bunch of letters scattered on it. The weird thing was I found it extremely easy. For instance I would see a line that looked like: av e cr, and for some reason I would know what it said. My DH told me that's because I'm an alien and my ship landed in Roswell. HA HA. Well I know that a lot has changed, after all it's been over 20 years since I took the first course and know a lot of it is computerized now, but it is most definitely legitimate and I've heard people like to do it. I think I remember one of the courses was in medical terminology and another course was in legal terminology. Should be able to find a lot of it on google, or maybe go to your local college if they offer it and talk to an instructor.
This has happened for years and years, where have you been?
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles, and on and on. This person is acting very normal like the age she is. You would have to have been under a rock to think differently, like this was an abnormal behavior....
Lost my mom 23 years ago and dad 18 years ago.
My son was not even 1 when my mom died....she was only 50. My dad died at age 59. So even though I feel your pain....I would have been very grateful to have them into their 80's. I guess we take what we get and be thankful. Sometimes it is hard though.
I was married for 13 years and 2 years
after my divorce I met the most incredible man. He was also divorced, we both have 2 kids, and though we are not married, we have been together for 9 years. They are still out there, you may have to go through a few marginal ones before you find him, but they are out there and available.
Most men would be happy for a new toy.
My sister got me a toy many moons ago, I named it gumby. My son was 2 at the time and found it DURING a dinner party I was having. He ran into the room waving "gumby" over his head yelling that everyone should look at this sword. My mouth hit the floor and my friends just about peed in their pants laughing. :-)
