[Minnie_Moo]

DEAR MELINDA

And some "friendly" birthday flowers!!!

Hope you had a nice dinner, Melinda!

Mr. Moo sends his thanks for all the birthday wishes!!!

I took him out for dinner at Red Lobster tonight (his choice) and picked up some Maggie Moo ice cream cupcakes on the way home. May I just say YUM?!

Pumba, so sorry to hear the flu bug bit you Feel better soon.

E, I can't believe Caleb is going back to school so soon! What a trouper. Continued prayers and for speedy quick healing.

 

[Toot Sweet]

Sexy lexy!

Hope it was a fantastic day! You deserve the best!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Lexi, hope you had a great day!

Pumba, feel better soon

BBN, great news about Caleb being better so soon

Uma, your challenge on the Peeps thread is a blast


On the home front, I think I told you all that a week ago Friday DS got a call to show up for a second eye exam on Monday for the AF. But he was on a job in Key West. So today was the first day he could go. They had to reexam his eyes without the drops. Turns out his left eye is not up to standards.
So now they have to apply for a waiver for him to get into the AF

This whole process is causing me more gray hairs than L'Oreal is going to be able to cover soon.
On a positive note (?) , he got a call to meet someone on Wednesday for his security clearance interview. It is scheduled for an hour, but his buddy (who got in) ended up getting grilled for 6 (SIX) hours! DS thinks it is because he had financial issues. Potential issues for blackmail, I heard.

DS is fine with Finances, but he expects questions centered around visiting Germany so much. Well, we have legitimate reasons for that, right?
And WHY is is his mother NOT a citizen after 37 years?
(Cause at first she wasnt sure if she would stay, and now she is just too lazy to take an exam )

Anyone up for Debbie Downer? Because that is SO me right now. I'll give the abbreviated version, but basically I am in Senior Research Project hell. I had been working on the dang paper ALL of Friday and Saturday. Literally sitting in the library working nonstop. It was almost done. Last night I went to open it and it said there was a virus on the file and my computer couldn't open it. I didn't panic at first but now I have transferred to full-blown panic attack/excessive crying. I need extra xanax! After consulting all computer friends and the computer center on campus, a conclusion has been reached...the paper somehow got a virus and my computer deleted it. It's gone. Totally and completely gone. All 30 pages of it. It was done and now it's gone.

Today at school my teacher asked me if I wanted to take the 3rd grade reading group with Chronicles of Narnia or the 2nd grade group with Boxcar Children. Sounds like a simple enough question, no? One might think. Boxcar Children was a book my grandma and I always read growing up. I think we read that series 5 times. She absolutely loved it. When I was officially going to school to be a teacher she bought me the whole set for my future classroom. So, instead of answering my teacher I had to leave the room crying hysterically. Seriously, if I could get through just one day without crying, that would be awesome. Every little thing makes me cry. I've been trying to be positive (not pollyanna) but I feel like I've been right on the edge and now this paper thing has just pushed me over. I want to just say forget it all and go be a homeless bum somewhere, because seriously, I don't think I can go anymore.

I'm sorry for being so depressing I'm just so done tonight.

PJ, poor baby, who could blame you! I am sure all your imaginary friends are goiing to send you prayers and Pixie Dust.
Losing that paper just stinks to high heaven!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you tell your teacher?
Get some rest, get a good, laying in bed cry, and go to sleep. It will all work out in the end.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Lauren, sweetie - first take a DEPP BREATH!!! And try to get a decent night's sleep. Tomorrow, get your computer to a professional. Did the computer center check your temp file? Recent documents? Any chance you might have saved a portion on a thumb drive?

If all else fails, I've got some spare Xanax

 

[TwinkieMama]

PirateBallerina- been there, done that. I agree with what moo said- a computer professional/geek should be able to recover the file but if not, it will be much easier to re-write than to write.

And sometimes crying is good. Grief hurts but bottling it up just causes it to explode later.

 

[DonaldTDuck]

The birthday isn't over till the last wishes are in.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELINDA
(It took all I've got to use blue)
PJ- Time. It's the only answer. But it will get easier. And around here, we Debbie Downer. She is our sports site's icon. Oh, my puter just ate my last chapter of my trippie, but fortunately I had just posted it, so I'll just copy and paste back in. But where does that stuff go? It's still in there. Get a pro to find it.
DID ALL SEE THAT, A NEW CHAPTER at last.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Sage advice, GrasshoppaMama!

Enjoyed your update, DTD

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Wendy, one last remark before I go to bed.

You are ONE HOT MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!

You have come a long way, and you did great!

And I have seen you in person to testify to that, Quit putting yourselfself down so much, you are SMOKING HOT!

Putting myself down is just my shtick. I know how hot I really am I JUST SAID THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE! I laugh at my flaws and crack myself up.

Marita! Come-here and give me a hug. I just love you for that!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

wow, i didn't realized donald wrote a jazzy trip report,

doing the cruise...stuff..is causing me to miss alot. ..jus
like the disneyland reports...heck,i never knew..they did
a disneyland report section.


..oh, jus a quickie..observations,last week teenager attack on the
bus driver.., now i don't think its too hard..to "see"..this week
tenn killing her "close~knit family. theese storys...are round
table..discussions @ work...

however, are things worst today then years pass.....no, not by
our obsreavtions...while ther're causes and effects situations,
there's always been things..needing adderssing. life is a dynamic
situation..ha! i love how commmon sense..is so applicable....
cos...what is the first sign of life??? movment.

* in fact..i think one of the most cherish memory...was when we
first felt "life" kicking...in some one belly~ . i also
can recall..in details..looking down..@ our first..tiny baby..&
wondering..what will be like..now i know.." ".

my kids..don't not think...much of my ..insights..but you see..it isn't
improtant other than to missed the danger zones. in time, reality
will step in.

\facts & reality....true, if i explained..how my parents raised us..
would not impressed any person..even called it dysfunctioning...
{ like mentality ill-, i don't beleive in}....* however, there are
facts..that would make that case. but this is when reality takes
over...one of the things ,i did before my parents died was to spend
time "rapping ' with them...& this produced additonal facts...that
completely altered that conclusions. once you learned how far they
came..and the obstacles..they over came..all of sudden, i had
new profound respect.

i'm, no ...as evdienced by a long list of others..having a low
opinion of me. not thats important, but some went as far as they could
to cause me negative outcomes. but make no mistakes, i have no
regrets. even mistakes. i think, if one can be honest wiht oneself..
and recognizes their mistakes..& jus try..to do better the next time,
will have a sucessful life. i never thought myself...ever as anything
but plain & simple. i sorta surprise..of the feedback... however,
i am amazed...how so many..live poorly....by their own doings.

on the flip side...i think many underscore..the wonders &


..living normal lives..drug free, and appricating all the magic..in
their world. * it is true...when i turn 40, ok? the plan was to
slow down..never guessing it was going to be the other.

mr moo & lexy...not surprising. ..now there's 2 who knows
how to live life.

.. pj..i know..if worst came to worst..& you told
me that what happened..i wouldn't have any doubts. ps, isn't the
"knowledge"..of your work...still in your..pretty lil' head?


...so far...i have come to learn..the values for life..are raise by
the choices we make that share our feelings and the knowledge
we gained..thru our day to day living..especially making those
around us happy.

crazy thinking..is ineffective coping and there are much better choices
to be made. however, there are those that will not. other than work,
when i come across...i rid myself of their company, unless they
confront. no problem...to used..my professional interventions.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

wanta kno waht i was grateful today? * the last time
we broke 60 degress, was the day..i heard my wife hollering
@ my boys to get up...@ 530 am, cos our bathroom was flooding,



...like this:



http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i75/mrmerlin56/100_2011.jpg?t=1204611498

..noticed..how full the tub was..after bailing..


..lookie....who took my "happy place"..blanket and all, dirty


http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i75/mrmerlin56/100_0279-1.jpg?t=1204611797

sooo when i say.."skippy, dosen't like the cold..you'll know my point
of reference..* glad my lost..sure made him the happiest dog ..in
our house.

..those crazy..young stars....make it self evident why
fame & riches....are not important..for a happy life...you can't
take them with you....

GOOG MORNING!

Thanks again for all the kind words yesterday! You guys are the best!

Like Lil G, I was thankful to God for my gift of a beautiful, sunny, 70 degree day yesterday. My friend appeared with chips/dip, drinks, and a gift at 5pm so we sat outside on my porch and watched the kids play. It was wonderful.

PJ! Sweetie! That file has GOT to be on that hard drive somewhere! I must agree....take it to a paid professional. Just in case....start rewriting. It should be a snap and will probably be BETTER than the first one. Just remember....come the first of May you'll be walking up to get your diploma and this will all be behind you!

Moo....Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mr. Moo! I hope his day was wonderful. I called my niece. She was at the college pub as expected.

Marita....ACK! What does this eye exam mean? Does it prohibit him from some of his preferred jobs? Go get your citizenship, woman!

Celery....I saw that scary Easter Bunny picture too! I had nightmares all night long! I will be screaming and grabbing other people's kids off the Easter Bunny's lap at the mall!

EVERYBODY ELSE..... Thanks again for the birthday wishes!

HAVE A GREAT MONICA'S BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!

 

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MONICA!

HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!​

Losing that paper just stinks to high heaven!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you tell your teacher?

My professor won't care. This is the same professor who made me go to class the day of my grandma's funeral. I never told this story. I called her to tell her I wasn't coming to class and she asked what time the funeral was. I said 10am and she said "then I see no reason why you can't be at class at 4." Told me I would lose points off my final grade and have to do a make-up assignment (which I'm sure would have been horrible) if I "chose" not to come. She's not going to care about computer problems.

Lauren, sweetie - first take a DEPP BREATH!!! And try to get a decent night's sleep. Tomorrow, get your computer to a professional. Did the computer center check your temp file? Recent documents? Any chance you might have saved a portion on a thumb drive?

If all else fails, I've got some spare Xanax

You would think I would have saved it on my flash drive. However....
It's only showing up in my recent documents. It's not anywhere else because my computer deleted it because it has a virus. And eventually it won't even be in my recent documents. That's what they told me at least.

PirateBallerina- been there, done that. I agree with what moo said- a computer professional/geek should be able to recover the file but if not, it will be much easier to re-write than to write.

And sometimes crying is good. Grief hurts but bottling it up just causes it to explode later.

Are you taking lessons from Sunnybrook?

PJ- Time. It's the only answer. But it will get easier. And around here, we Debbie Downer. She is our sports site's icon. Oh, my puter just ate my last chapter of my trippie, but fortunately I had just posted it, so I'll just copy and paste back in. But where does that stuff go? It's still in there. Get a pro to find it.
DID ALL SEE THAT, A NEW CHAPTER at last.

We have a sports team here? And I'm the mascot? Wow. Never saw that one coming.

.. pj..i know..if worst came to worst..& you told
me that what happened..i wouldn't have any doubts. ps, isn't the
"knowledge"..of your work...still in your..pretty lil' head?

I think there's too much other stuff in there.

PJ! Sweetie! That file has GOT to be on that hard drive somewhere! I must agree....take it to a paid professional. Just in case....start rewriting. It should be a snap and will probably be BETTER than the first one. Just remember....come the first of May you'll be walking up to get your diploma and this will all be behind you!

The whole thing about it potentially being there is that I don't want to waste time trying to recover it when I could be spending that time re-writing it, if that is, in fact, what needs to be done. Which it sounds like it is. Does that make any sense?

Goog morning, sunshines, and all that jazz.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MONICA!!!!

arty:

Have a great one, all.

Lil'g -- I do not see a bath tub in that picture..

P.J.-- I know you will never be that teacher, she has no heart. Can't believe she told you to come in that day.

UMA-- Went to see the before and after pic of you Marita was talking about but couldn't find it. There are a lot of Peeps and that is a fast moving thread.

Celery-- are your afraid of bunnies... Mind you I didn't see the one you and Lexi saw I guess. Hannah didn't mind the one UMA had before.
