Bernies Angels, our new summer home

[Breezy_Carol]

Hello Angels.

Marsha, nice gifts from Pete. And you are right to wear that bracelet when so much thought went into it.

Bernie is definitely missing Sharon and the girls.

Good evening everyone !

Enjoyed a nice day today ...... first went out for lunch ... went to a raw bar and had a couple of seabreezes and some killer shrimp and cocktail sauce ...... then went down to the beach for awhile and watched all the boats cruising around (in Old Saybrook Lars!)
and capped it off with a stop at the ice cream parlor

Steph, while I'm a fan of country like you (when is Brooks and Dunn by the way??? ) I agree that it can hit you hard ....
here's one from Trace Adkins that did me in last summer after the end of a 5 year relationship

Help Me Understand
Once in a lifetime
You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

And my picture in your locket
What will you do with it now
All our friends and all our memories
Tell me how we sort them out
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
Is that all that's left
After all this time

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

Help me understand
Why I'm not part of our plan
And you don't need me anymore
Help me understand
Why I still wanna be where you are
Even though I know in my hear
You don't love me anymore

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand



Well a year has gone by and he wants to get back into the picture ... guess he's realized how wonderful I really am
...... so we've gotton together a few times ... I think I'm a lot stronger now and have my eyes wide open and just hope I won't do anything stupid....for now I'm just going w/ the flow , trying to communicate better and see if we can mesh again .....but the time will come to talk about where this is leading and if it won't be resulting in some type of commitment, that's not what I want ..... so anyway, now there's a new song on the radio that is also hitting close to home ... I swear they must be following me around

Stay Gone
I’ve found piece of mind, feeling good again
I’m on the other side, back among the living
All my tears have been cried
And I can finally say

Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
It’s good for my heart
I haven’t felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everything’s gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone

I still love you and I will forever
But we can’t hide the truth, we know each other better
When we try to make it work
We both end up hurt

Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
It’s good for my heart
I haven’t felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everything’s gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone

When we try to make it work
We both end up hurt
Love ain’t supposed to be that way

Baby baby stay
Stay right where you are
I like it this way
It’s good for my heart
I haven’t felt like this
In God knows how long
I know everything’s gonna be ok
If you just stay
Gone


So I don't know what's going to happen yet .... keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll end up doing the right thing ..... whew - guess I'm gone w/ my babbling for now - talk to ya later !

Sandy, if you have had a year and feel stronger now, you will do the right thing. Just take one day at a time.

Diane, sorry to hear Duffy didn't win.
I think this has been a weekend of losses.

Middle DS(22) is in Michigan at the annual Backgammon tournament. He's a great player and has been going to this tournament since he was 16. He called to say he didn't win. He sounds bummed about it. He was counting on a big win $$ to put toward his trip to France.
Oldest DS (24), put in a bid on a gorgeous house. The sellers came back with a counteroffer, DS put in his Final offer and they verbally accepted. He was SO excited!!! He called me and said "I just bought a house!!" I was excited for him! It was a verbal agreement and before they got the papers signed, the sellers made another agreement with another buyer.
He lost the house. He's been on the phone with the manager of Howard Hanna, who has been apologizing up and down. But what good does that do. What they did, while not illegal in Pennsylvania, is considered very unethical.

No matter how old your kids are, when they hurt, you hurt for them.

Sandy,
Crossing my fingers for you. Do what feels right. Don't second guess yourself. Only you truly knows what's best for you.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Just looking at last page here, {hugs} for you, Sandi, and also for you, Sandy. Hope your week is a good one, both of you.

Dan

Hi Guys!!
Home from a day at the lake....we had a great time but we're all pooped out!! Too much sun & too much fun!!
Sandy-{{{hugs}}} You'll make the right decision if you trust yourself & follow your heart. We're here if you need to talk!
Sandi-Where in Michigan was DS? I feel bad for your other DS...such a disappointment...just means he wasn't meant to get that house, probably something wrong with it! He'll find an even better one!
Marsha-Glad your doing better....hope the back is on the mend!
Steph-That song got to mesniff sniff Country music tugs at the heart strings doesn't it?

 

[shamrock bunch]

Evening Everyone!

Sandi & Sandy - lots of (((hugs))) going out to both of you!!! Here's hoping the future gets better for your DS Sandi and for you Sandy!

Marsha - what a great guy Pete is!!! I think there is nothing more romantic than your hubby surprising you w/ gifts from the heart.

 

[Lars624]

OMG I just realized that I forgot to give Pete a much deserved pat on the back!!!! YAY PETE!!! He's a keeper Marsha!

Here is his back (he just had me take the pic, he is deciding on color for the latest dragon, and the reason there is a space in the middle, something (unknown at this time) will cross over the dragon in the future. See we have to plan for everything.

Oh, the devil girl, she is from a Mahogany Rush album cover. Any more questions?

 

[helenabear]

Hi all... been busy this weekend. I've had time to read but not much time to reply.

Tomorrow when I head back to work, I should be around as much as I usually am. I hope you all had great weekends and I will see you all tomorrow

bump from almost page 2

bump from the REAL page 2



Morning All! I can't believe we slipped to page 2!!

Gaspode - are you back yet?

Have to go to work today, so I'll check in later!

 

[Boo'sMom]

Gaspode is gone for 3 weeks....says it's the only way to "do" WDW from the other side of the pond. Seems like she's been gone forever though, huh/??

Sandy/Sandi (((hugs))) to both of you...I understand how both of you feel. Yes,when your kids hurt, you hurt....and relationships beginning and ending are painful and worrisome.

Marsha: Congrats on some wonderful presents. I've received some of those "not exactly my style" gifts in the past, and have tried to do as you do.....be strong GF....my DH would NEVER think of going into BBW, he thinks I wake up smelling this wonderful.

Well, guess I better go catch up on the riddle.

 

[oldkicker]

Sandy - it sounds like you're moving forward with eyes wide open....good luck!

Sandi - I know what you mean about kids....

Nice tatoo, Pete - and WAY TO GO on treating Marsha right!

 

[dianeschlicht]

If Gaspode is at WDW for 3 weeks, I sure hope she is a DVC member!

Steph, do we have riddle con buds yet?

 

[paras4ri]

Hi and bye.
I can't play today.....it's traditionally our busiest day of the year at work. Don't have too much fun without me!

 

[helenabear]

Morning all... just have to backtrack a little. I was so tired last night that I was too lazy to catch up properly. So I'll do a little now and hopefully call it even

Sandy, it does sound like you are much stronger and have a much better approach now. I wish you all the luck

Sandi {{{hugs}}} no kids here, but I can imagine what it is like after watching my dad go through the disappointments that we had.

Marsha, what a sweetie you have there!!! Sounds like one great guy!! If Luis ever did anything like that I would be swimming (even if I didn't like it all) With him it is the thought that counts.

I miss Gaspode too... I just hope she is having a blast down there!!! Too bad I can't sneak away for a few days and say hi to her

Gail good luck today. Why is today your busiest day of the year? That sucks to come back to a day like that after a nice weekend.

Well I am off to catch up on a few other threads and then get to work (what little I have... more should be here this week )

 

[The LK 4]

Awww, Gail, that doesn't sound like fun.

Sandi, congrats on being named Godmother! What happened to your DS stinks - how can those sellers do that? It seems so unfair.

Sandy, good for you for knowing what you want and having a smart head on your shoulders! We're here for you!

I've got to admit that I am not into country music at all, but those lyrics are pretty powerful.

Marsha, be sure to show us when Pete gets the color done on the dragon!

DS is now at Cub Scout camp until Wednesday. It started thundering and lightening when they were getting ready to take their swim test. Today doesn't look too great either.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Lars624]

Good Morning!
Do we all get a vote in what color 'Pete's Dragon' ends up being??
