Bernies Angels, our new summer home

[kimmar067]

...gotta "hang" by the phone to await a call from my bro'...his wife is in labor right now with their FIRST.....[size=medium]TWINS[/size]!!!

 

[shamrock bunch]

Kimmar - good luck to your BRO . Do they know the sex of the twins yet?

 

[kimmar067]

...once they're BORN!!

 

[shamrock bunch]

Good choice for them Kimmar - i didn't want to know the sex of my kids before they were born. I was just going to mention if they are the same sex, please tell your brother not to dress them alike for too long. I am a twin, and my mom used to do that to me and LK. Bothered the **** out of me!

 

[helenabear]

Oh geez, Kim!!! You are an amazon woman compared to me

I didn't say anything was WRONG with being short, Gail... okay I did but those are my personal opinions about my personal body. All other short women are beautiful

Good luck to your brother Kimmar!!! I be that has to be nerve wracking!

Hi Lorriane I am not a twin but my sister is 13 months older than me... not only did people think we were twins because we were so close in size, my mom dressed us the same too I'm sure that didn't help others to think we weren't twins. So I sort of feel your pain there.

Okay question for you all here... I post on many different long going threads. One place I frequent I feel like I've been ignored (and really have been) by one person for months now. Would you all let sleeping dogs lie or would you confront this person? I thought I was once friends with her but now it seems not. It bugs me

 

[kimmar067]

I'm an aunt to Baby Matthew and Baby Rebecca!!!

 

[love the magic]

CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of MATTHEW and REBECCA Kimmar!

 

[love the magic]

Glad I'm not the only one feeling "woo hoo" challenged these days!!!

I'm with LK on how I feel about t-shirt sizing....I can wear a medium or large, but usually take the large as I like having room in my clothes. I'm about 5 ft 6 so the length usually is not an issue luckily!

Hope everyone's having a great afternoon! Still crazy with work, but wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing!

Catch you later!

Valerie

 

[helenabear]

Congratulations on Matthew and Rebecca!!!!!

 

[shamrock bunch]

CONGRATS ON BABY MATTHEW AND BABY REBECCA

E - I think I wouldn't confront the person you were talking about. Maybe this person will someday respond to you. If there was something wrong, hopefully this person would have just PM'd you in the first place.

mints,mints on the riddle please!!!

 

[Lars624]

Congratulations Auntie Kimmar!!!!
I have boy/girl twins They are so much fun!!!!

E!-You have to do whatever makes you feel comfortable with this person. If you feel like you need to know just ask if there's a reason they are treating you differently.
I'm almost 5'9 & length of shirts isn't a problem for me!

 

[helenabear]

Lorraine, is there anyone who CAN give us 'mints' for the riddle???

I should also say that I will be meeting this person for the first time in a few weeks with a larger group of people. A part of me wants to PM her and say "what's up" and another part thinks I ought to see if another week or two will go by w/o a word to me. It's petty sounding I know, but since I noticed she doesn't talk to me much, I have made efforts to reply to her and say hi to her. If I said something about lack of power in my house for three days, she would post like 20 mintues later and totally not say a thing. Kind of hurts my feelings I guess that nothing I say is good enough to reply to.

Thanks Lorriane and Lars for your thoughts so far

Elaine - LOL! I feel so stupid on the riddle these days - I just can't see between the lines. I'm amazed at the people who CAN solve these. I guess my brain doesn't function like theirs.

 

[The LK 4]

Congratulations on the new niece and nephew Kimmar! That's fantastic!!

E, I was going to suggest to you that you PM this person to see what they say. You might want to find out what is going on before you meet them in person. However, do whatever you feel is most comfortable for you.

 

[mickeyfan1]

Hi angels!!!!

E! Anyone who stops talking to you is missing out. But it is so hard to "read" what is going on. If you were me..... I would probably send a PM saying something about looking forward to seeing her in person, etc. THe WWW is a strange place, people you think you know here are often very different in person. And vice versa. I learned that from meeting up with some disers in CA. We sometimes forget that this form of friendship is a lot different than "in person". If you PM her and get no response, she may still be the best bud when you meet in person. Or she may not. I know you aren't getting PWS (I just learned this term, panty wad syndrome) over it, but I know you are wanting to know whats up.

Kimmar - two baby, double the love! How fun, are you close enough to get to snuggle them?

SB - I haven't gotten today's riddle yet, either. I have Vicky mints, but they are not helping!

I forgot to order a riddlecon shirt, but if I had, it would have been XL because I am. And I used to be 5' 7", but now I am 5'6 and 3/4. Sheesh!

Got the new door knob on, and have been getting my son's travel plans set, he is meeting me at WDW for 2 days. He hasn't seen his Aunt Barbie and his cousins in a few years, it should be fun.

Gotta go vacumm the pool, many leaves and eucalyptus bark blew in last night., The bark has to come out manually, it clogs up the hoses. But it's only 110, so it should be manageable.

I also vote for cake pictures, please.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Barn swallows are building a nest over my front porch. They are making quite a mess with the mud they are using, but I guess I'm okay with it. It'll be fun to watch them. Maybe I'll start a thread when they get settled in.

Congratulations on the twins. Share a photo when you get the chance, okay? I love babies.

Sorry about the situation you are in E. I'd probably let it slide, but I don't think there is anything wrong with getting it out in the open if it'd make you feel better.

How is the cake coming along? Just thinking about it makes me hungry. I love cake and this lo-carb diet doesn't include a yummy cake. Mmmm. Sounds heavenly.

Glad the knob is back in place. Sounds fun to meet your son at WDW. It's ONLY 110? Yikes! I'm only planning to visit you in the dead of winter. LOL!

I'm definitely Pooh-sized. I don't wear many t-shirts since my surgery. When I am home I like to remove "Betty" and go braless, especially in the summer. It's cooler that way. In a t-shirt I'm way too lopsided. If I wear one, I wear one that is huge - the bigger the better so it doesn't cling. I sometimes buy a 3X or a 4X and wear it as a sleep shirt.

I can't give out any mints because I'm clueless. I can't seem to get any of the riddles these days.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

congrats Kimmar!

 

[paras4ri]

Wow....busy afternoon here!!!

Congratulations Auntie!!!! Great names too (gee, do ya think maybe because I have a Matthew too?) There are no twins in our families but I have friends who are twins and know people who have had them too. I also didn't want to know the sex of either of my kids until their birthday.....life has too few surprises like that anymore.

I think Marsha summed it up perfectly E, anyone who stops talking to you is the one who's missing out!!! I'm not sure how I'd handle it because I can certainly appreciate how you're feeling.

Right now Lew & I are being ignored by a group of parents in Little League (great example for their kids, huh??) There are days I want to march right up to them and ask what their problem is......but most of the time I just ignore them too.

Melissa - I have to admit I love your references to Betty!! I also missed wishing you a happy anniversary.....you got a nice gift and I'm glad your DH felt better too.

Hey Marsha.....love PWS.....I'm gonna use that one!

Hi everyone else....no clue on the mints here either!!!

LOL! My twin sister and I also hated it when my mom would try to dress us alike!!

Congrats Auntie Kimmar! That is SO exciting! I bet you can't wait to hold those babies!

As for the T-shirt question, I'm a medium.

I went to work after the gym, then to the pool around 3:30 for an hour. Now I'm sitting here sipping on a margarita waiting for the men to come home. I have a lot of leftovers. Even leftover Birthday cake!

E, I sure hope you get that problem taken care of. Our power has gone out a lot in the last month due to storms, but not as bad as you've had to put up with!

 

[mickeyfan1]

I told a lie, I didn't mean to, but when I said it was 110, it wasn't, it was 117. My back yard is always hotter than the weather bug. But I did my hour in the sun, gotta keep the color!

I could go for a margarita. We are having shrimp and salad for dinner. A lime margarita would go quite nicely with that. I even have low carb mix, but it tastes very, very, very bad. It is so tart, it is hard to swallow. I have to mix in a bunch of splenda to make it drinkable. Still, it would be good.................

Merry, we get hummingbirds once in a while at our desert willow, but no nesting. We also get morning doves in the yard a lot, and one time there was a quail on the fence wall. I think it's neat the birds are building where you can see them. Except for the mess. Most of the time we het ugly brown birds. It is really too warm for most species.

Hey Kimmar, please, if your kin decide to dress the twins alike, at least jeans and t shirts won't raise too many eyebrows, but dresses, well that is entirely toooooo much!
