Good morning from here Karen! Hopefully Ted is beginning to get the internet problem sorted.

I'm so pleased you can get up to Bodega Bay - seems like you could do with the break.

Thanks Marilyn!

Yes, we really do need a break. I have had 3 whole days off (not in a row) since we opened in May. DH is only slightly better, but he works longer hours during the week as he is at 2 contracting (software) jobs.

I'm off to bed, (finally). I hope that you have a lovely day!

Not all us Men are the same! I don't think this is normal! Somethings up besides changes at school,JMHO. Hope the Doc finds something and is able to help your little man out!

His answer to this was to ask Tyler, "Where did you hear such talk? Did you learn that from Hunter?" Hunter is Tyler's best buddy at day care. If other kids were saying things like that, Tyler wouldn't be the only one booted out of day care every day. It's truly not a normal thing for a 5 year old to say.
P.S. Happy Birthday tomorrow!

THANK YOU!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

Happy Birthday Holly!

You deserve a GREAT birthday, hope it is wonderful!

My best friend's birthday was yesterday and my 50th is tomorrow, so the two of us are celebrating it together, today, on your birthday. I will just have to have an extra drink for you

Kathe

THANK YOU!!! And happy birthday to you too! I hope you do something special to celebrate! Enjoy your drinks!

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly,

Since it's already tomorrow in your time zone...

Happy Birthday!!! arty:

Hope you have a great day!!

Karen

THANK YOU!!!

My friend was planning her parents' 50 surprise anniversary party and somehow it got out. The mom was relieved, and wanted her daughter to keep it a surprise. That way, if they didn't invite someone she couldn't be blamed! Lisa

That's just too funny! Smart mom!

Hello cruisers,
I have been asked to give you a message from your friend Nan (nskjerven):

Hello dear friends:

I’ve just come home from a morning mammogram/ultra sound appointment with my mom. My mom has been diagnosed with a breast mass (or 2) and I’m the point person to work with her doctors on getting a biopsy (with in the next few days).

It’s not looking good and I expect that we will shortly be scheduling surgery at a minimum course of treatment.

Mom is also is under care from her eye doctor for a laser treatment for glaucoma. (okay, and a bad tooth and so on and so on…it’s hard getting old)

Prayers are much needed for strength to get thru the next few appointments and find out what is the actual diagnosis and treatment actions.

I’ll keep you updated as more news unfolds,


Nan

(jen/tigg/aisling/jill: If you guys have a chance to drop in on the West Repo thread can you please post them a note on what is going on with me and let them know I’ll be back when I can)

Nanette R. Skjerven

Aisling: Thanks for letting us know. How awful! to Nan and her mom.

 

[HollyTyler]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLLY.

THANK YOU! I love all the jumpy guys! I feel like having a bouncy day too!

 

[HollyTyler]

GOOD NEWS: I won't get a phone call at work today to pick Tyler up from day care for bad behavior because I just got a phone call...they're closed today due to a power outage from a storm last night.

So somebody has to miss work. Tyler's at his dad's, but his dad has to conduct meetings in a city an hour away, so his dad can't stay home. He told me he might just take Tyler with him or see if the stepmom can miss work today. I haven't received a callback yet from him telling me they can't work out an alternate plan, and I leave for work in 20 minutes, so it looks like I don't have to miss any work today!

I think I can say we will all be sending and tons of our thoughts and prayers to help you through.

 

[HollyTyler]

Happy Birthday

THANK YOU! All those party guys just made me laugh out loud here at work.

 

[MrsMork]

Oh you cannot leave him out. He is too sweet and plus, he is AARON'S DAD!

Yes, he is coming!

 

[tink1963]

Holly,

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Holly, Happy Birthday to you.

Hope you have a great B-Day.

What about a visit to Whisper Canyon Cafe, should be quiet, or as quiet as WCC can be, at lunch and Olivia will be doted on.

Actually- that's where I booked! I figure we can stuff ourselves on the skillet and not have to worry about being hungry at the airport or on the plane.

Holly, you will love this story. Youngest DD, Samantha just came in and plopped on my bed to say, "Ok, as much as I hate to admit it, you are right."
Music to this mother's ears.

She said, "You were right about Crystal (her high school), you were right about USD (her University), you were right about Oliver (ex boyfriend) and now as much as I hate to admit it, you are right, I am going to go to law school. I want to do this internship for next few months and then I am going to start studying for the LSAT while I work part time. Every job I look at bores me and for what I want to do, I need a law degree. Ok, Mom, you can say, I told you so."

I didn't tell her I told you so but what I did tell her is that I was proud of her for coming to her own conclusions.

How wonderful!

Thanks for relaying the message. My thoughts and prayers are with you Nan!


John- what great pictures- you must be so proud of your kids!


I’m stuck doing continuing education today, so I won’t be on the computer much. Tomorrow is DH’s cat scan, and then we have a wedding all day on Saturday- so it will be BUSY!

 

[tink1963]

katypop,

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear Kathe, Happy Birthday to you

Hope you have a great day.

 

[granmaz]

I think I got it inot my head that Katypop's birthday was tomorrow, but I think I have got that wrong, so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY



I hope you are having a lovely day.

 

[birkner]

Your DD's decisions and the way that she presented it to you is a wonderful reflection of how well you have raised her!

It takes big shoulders and a good sense of self to admit that someone else may have been right!!

I hope that my DD grows up with as much confidence and humility!!

Karen

Thank you for your very kind words. I am your DD will be have as much confidence and humility with fine parents such as you and your DH!
