MOOvers, Huggers, and Pixie Dusters!

[Backstage_Gal]

So DS was carrying his buddy to safety, and the Officer said to him:

LASTNAME, DROP, You just got shot in the spine

So then some other guys had to carry both of them.

 

[TwinkieMama]

PirateBallerina- Congrats on making a decision about a job! How exciting!

Marita- Thanks for sharing the pictures of your son. I feel like we have all been watching him on this journey, rooting from the sidelines so long.

PopCulturePrincess- I KNEW you would know that moovie!

FutureTNMama- Hi! Is your house still clean? Have you developed a nervous tic from all the tidying yet? I think all the hits on your tour are my kids I was trying to explain the concept of clean clutter-free rooms to them. Just kidding!

Ninjafriend- I seem to have missed you since you are stealth. Drop by more often.

Lexy- Thinking of you, deer friend.

The rest of you, consider yourself shouted at Grasshopper is shouting at me- gotta jet

 

[Bloodhound]

Hi everbody!


Bloodhound: Did I read right or wrong? Are you in LooUhVull? Thanks for clarifying. That's my middle name..

Hey...babynurse...I said I work there.(LooUhVull)....buying and selling antiques, used furniture, collectables, glassware...household stuf...if you ask for it ...I may be able to find it....but I live 25 south of the Jeferson County Line In Fort Knox/Radcliff Ky.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Marita- Thanks for sharing the pictures of your son. I feel like we have all been watching him on this journey, rooting from the sidelines so long.

Thanks, Twinkie! I thought the journey was over once DS got into training, but he still is at risk of being thrown out, which causes me ulcers. But he seems to be doing OK so far.

Sending you a dozen warm chocolate chip cookies with melting chocolate chips!

Where is thread mama Moo tonight?

I am planning a light work day tomorrow. Lunch at Bahama Breeze tomorrow till 1:30(birthday for Asst. #2), then go home from there and maybe do a little work then. Then next week starts mad activities for next years budget for seveal weeks/months.

 

[Bloodhound]

Today marks one week since we got our new kitty, Crystal, to be a companion for Tornado, (especially when we're away from home.) I was concerned how this would go, having gone through the old cat/new cat get acquainted period before. We made it through the HISS GRRRrrrrrrrr stage in record time. They are now friends and sleep on our bed together. I woke up with Crystal sleeping on my chest this morning, her face inches from mine! Fortunately Tornado sleeps at the foot because he weighs 14 pounds and she only weighs 3.

So that's the good news. Now for the bad news. Lowell's Ex dropped the bombshell on us when we saw her on Memorial Day that daughter #1 (age 20) is five months pregnant. Lowell had read his daughter the riot act when she moved from home and went to live with some boy and the boy's dad. She refused to come back home, and now this. The Ex says DD is cheerful about the situation and they were going that day to pick out baby clothes and things. DD calls the baby "her little bundle of kisses." This may sound cute, but I have the feeling DD thinks of the baby like a cat (she wanted to get a cat and name him Mr. Kisses) or like a doll. It's a novelty now and probably exciting, but what about a year or two from now?

I don't believe the couple has any plans to get married which may be just as well since I think this fellow is the only boy DD has dated more than a handful of times. The EX told Lowell he shouldn't say anything like "you should have had more sense" if he doesn't want to alienate DD. While I believe in making the best of this and being supportive, we don't approve of living together and we aren't happy about her being an unwed mother. I think it's wrong on the Ex's part to expect Lowell to completely refrain from telling her she messed up. We went through the same disciplinary blackmail when DD moved in with the boy. "Don't give her a hard time, because it won't do any good and you'll only drive her away." Now look where that approach got us.

Lowell "doesn't want to think about it right now," but we can't stick our heads in the sand. We're very sad, because as I said to the Ex, "DD has really complicated her life." The Ex got defensive after I said that and reminded me that she herself had been an unwed mother. Right. Exactly. And her life hasn't gone very well. I don't think she married the father of her first child, and four kids, three men, and two divorces later, I would not wish her life on DD. She says, "What if DD got married, had a baby, and lost her husband, the result would be the same." Yes, but when life deals you a hard blow, you are forced to deal with it. That's hardly the same as bringing this on yourself to begin with.

Opinions and advice are welcome. I'm going to post this elsewhere on the community board because I am sure plenty of people have been through this before and can offer some sound advice.

Hi Kay, my wife's daughter has the same situation.. she is 25 and been living with him a couple years( the longest stable relationship she's had).except the baby will be a month old next Week. We have been suportive, suppling all kinds of baby stuff donated by my sister cause Justin (my nephew) has outgrown. I posted a picture awhile back of the baby. We go visit them every Sundayand enjoy holding the baby even though we dont aprove of them not being married we just dont talk about it... would would you all suggest...talk about it or not? Feel free to pm me with questions Kay.


My daughter has lived with her high school sweetheart ever since she graduated from HS unmarried and has no plans of ever having a baby. She told me if I ever want a grandchild I better get busy and have another kid. well thats not gonna happen cause my wife cant have anymore children as of last year.(Hysterectomy due to severe problems).

I kinda know what your going threw...but each situation is unique.



Quote Kay:Grant you, Lowell's first impression was to impress upon her that she should have been more responsible so that this wouldn't have happened, because there is another little life at stake now, aside from her own. But, the consensus appears to be that DD already is aware of that (or should be) and that any negative comments at this point will do no good, only harm, in any case. After reading all the commentary I am inclined to agree. There's no point lecturing, no matter how kindly we do so. If she is so immature that she doesn't see the potential hardships of having a baby in her current circumstances, no amount of words from us is likely to get through to her. If you're bored and in the mood to read the bloodbath, you can go read the thread. It's up to ten pages at last count!


Kay We agee with this as well...any negative comments will do no good.....the new mommy has already said she never knew taking care of a baby was so much WORK...she has been around some of her friends babies and still she didnt relize there was alot to caring for a baby.

I don't have time to shout out to everyone. So sue me. Don't really. You'll be sorely disappointed, I have no money.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the congratulations, etc!!! For some reason today I seem to have a disease where I cry every 5-7 minutes. My sister and I were driving out of the neighborhood tonight to have dinner with my grandpa and the light turned red. I just started crying and I was like "what if this is the last time I ever get to stop at this red light!!!!" Every little thing sets me off!

It's just strange because when I leave tomorrow for Florida I know I'm not coming back here. I'm going to Louisville. I know I'll only be 2 hours away and I can come home if I want, but I can't even put into words how unusual it is to know I'm moovin on. I guess I am officially saying goodbye to my childhood home.

Alright, I'll stop. You're welcome. My bedroom is a pile of boxes. Gotta load the cars tomorrow and then I'm outta here!

A song seems appropriate. ALWAYS. Or at least a part of a song. It's sung by Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus together. I'm sure you can guess who sings which part.

She's gotta do what she's gotta do,
And I've gotta like it or not
she's got dreams too big for this town
and she's needs to give 'em a shot
oh live a little

Looks like I'm
all ready to leave and
nothin' left to pack
ain't no room for me
in that car
even if she asked me to tag along
but I gotta be strong

I'm at the starting line
of the rest of my life
as ready as I've ever been
got the hunger and
the stars in my eyes
the prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings
before she hits that open road
baby, get ready
get set
please don't go

Belated CONGRATS, Peej!!! :thumbsup 2

I was over helping my friend with scrapbooking again tonight. STILL not done, but I brought my supplies and some pages and photos home to try to work on here. I think I brought stuff for about 6 pages. The open house is in 8 days and her mom is arriving from Florida on Saturday. I had hoped to be done by then, but I think I will have another 8 or 10 pages after the batch I brought home.

My friend's oven went kaput last week and tonight while she was microwaving dinner, the microwave died, so she is really stressing about having no way to cook other than a crockpot Hopefully the repair guy will be able to fix the oven tomorrow and it won't cost an arm and a leg because she definitely has to replace the microwave.

Marita, EEK on the new photos!!! Hope none of those guys injure themselves. Carrying TWO people??! Goog thing your son didn't have to do that.

Kay, sending some hugs to you and your hubby for his daughter's situation. No advice from me - my DH and I lived together our last year of college before getting married over 28 years ago. I'd have to say that it definitely had its pros and cons Our parents knew we planned to get married after graduating so they didn't give us a hard time about it.

Sid - Sorry to hear about your job. I'm considering going to WDW in mid-December, but my sister went over Thanksgiving a couple years ago and thought it was awfully crowded until the Monday after.

Steph - Congrats on the single digits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really late and I have to get to bed. Sorry to my fellow Scrabblers. No Internet last night and no time tonight

1. You didn't get a huge signing bonus?
2. Awww, PJ! You'll be fine. You'll have a fun summer living with your Sis and working at WDW and then you'll do a great job teaching in the Fall!

[Bloodhound]

Good Morning everyone....does anyone know how Lexi is doing?...I miss her morning shout outs...I hope all is well

 

[celerystalker]

blood - she's got some personal stuff going on.

We love you, Melinda! We're thinking about you and praying too!


peej - Quit being a peej! Hee.

babycow - When you bust the babies out and bring them to sunnybrook, let me know. I'll come help take care of them.

I need a change!
I've been applying like crazy for jobs online, but I can't afford a paycut.
Heck, since the roommate moved out, I can't afford THIS job!


ATTENTION CELERY'S MAMA - Your son is going to start paying his half of the rent or you get him.
I'm giving him until July 1st.
Then he's evicted.

I'll wait til after he passes the kidney stones to tell him. Tee hee!

 

[Bloodhound]

Oh Ic...I like my idea better for her anyway....she went on vacation and didnt say bye...J/K...

Lexi, I hope everything works out in your favor my new friend and cofidant.

 

[babynurse1]

Hi E!

Awwww, E. You're so kindhearted and sweet.

-- Rob

Am I? Who wudda thunk it?

Hey...you look familiar. Hmmmmm...there used to be a BBN who posted with some frequency on this thread. But I think she ran away and joined the circus or sumpn.

Listen snarkbRitches (clarifying that for celery). The circus thing didnt work out, got it? The clowns were creepy, the lion tamer kept trying to show off his "whip", and when the bearded lady asked for assistance with a shave, I hightailed it outta there like Bambi on opening day of gun season.

So DS was carrying his buddy to safety, and the Officer said to him:

LASTNAME, DROP, You just got shot in the spine

Oh my. I cant imagine it Marita! thx for those pictures. I really enjoyed them.

PopCulturePrincess- I KNEW you would know that moovie!

Be strong! Step back from the cookies ma'am.::cop:

Hey...babynurse...I said I work there.(LooUhVull)....buying and selling antiques, used furniture, collectables, glassware...household stuf...if you ask for it ...I may be able to find it....but I live 25 south of the Jeferson County Line In Fort Knox/Radcliff Ky.

Ohhhh. Got it. I am in LooUhVull all the time. I live in the Peyton Manning state though. Only the bestest stalkers know my exact location. lol

My dad does some antiquing and "collectableing". That's cool

It's just strange because when I leave tomorrow for Florida I know I'm not coming back here. I'm going to Louisville. I know I'll only be 2 hours away and I can come home if I want, but I can't even put into words how unusual it is to know I'm moovin on. I guess I am officially saying goodbye to my childhood home.

You KNOW I had to do this, right?

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame,
trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

It's really late and I have to get to bed. Sorry to my fellow Scrabblers. No Internet last night and no time tonight

It's ok moo. I will forgive you for your lack of Scrabble. Really. I'm fine with it.

babycow - When you bust the babies out and bring them to sunnybrook, let me know. I'll come help take care of them.

Okey dokey artichokey, errrr I mean celery. I get my veggies confused.



LEX: Peace and prayers to you and your loved ones.

 

[Bloodhound]

Hi babynurse, my wife is from Brokeville In. about 30 miles west of Cinn. Oh.


do you know people in that area? Dorfleins (SP?) she has a younger sister and several older brothes

 

[babynurse1]

Sorry. I dont think I know anybody by that name. Peej is close to Cincy, maybe she does. She knows everybody being a trollop and all.

 

[RobInBigKC]

Am I? Who wudda thunk it?

Certainly not me. I think I've known you for 17 months now (give or take) and I was totally shocked.

-- Rob

 

[UtahMama]

Wendy: Lol about all your virtual hits. hee hee

I KNOW! We should all hit my house link repetitively for a little joke on my realtor, and DH who would get his hopes up. The house a few down from ours, that is almost exactly the same, has been on the market nearly 7 months. That house will sell ours since it's $30,000 more (finished basement but ours has a 3rd car garage and a bigger lot)

Actually, I like that angle better. Funny simulated weapons.

FutureTNMama- Hi! Is your house still clean? Have you developed a nervous tic from all the tidying yet? I think all the hits on your tour are my kids I was trying to explain the concept of clean clutter-free rooms to them. Just kidding!

Not a nervous tick. More like broken eggshells. DH is convinced we're only going to have a 5 min. window in which to be ready for a showing.

Hey...babynurse...I said I work there.(LooUhVull)....buying and selling antiques, used furniture, collectables, glassware...household stuf...if you ask for it ...I may be able to find it....but I live 25 south of the Jeferson County Line In Fort Knox/Radcliff Ky.

Great info for the stalkers amongst us!

 

[UtahMama]

Or unless you're my wife responding to my question about the chance for, uh, hmm, never mind...

-- Rob

EEEEK!

Wait, you wanted her to make her a better than pie cake?

Whew!

 

[Kay7979]

It's just strange because when I leave tomorrow for Florida I know I'm not coming back here. I'm going to Louisville. I know I'll only be 2 hours away and I can come home if I want, but I can't even put into words how unusual it is to know I'm moovin on. I guess I am officially saying goodbye to my childhood home.

Alright, I'll stop. You're welcome. My bedroom is a pile of boxes. Gotta load the cars tomorrow and then I'm outta here!

Nostalgia is natural. Thanks goodness your memories of your childhood home are good and you have such fond memories to treasure. Moving on means starting an exciting new part of your life and making a whole new set of wonderful memories. Focus on that for now and you'll feel better. Right now you're "making history" moving to Louisville and in a few years you'll be feeling nostalgia about this moment.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Belated CONGRATS, Peej!!! :thumbsup 2

Thanks, Moo! Hope you get the scrapbooking done soon. I enjoy scrapbooking but sometimes I get sick of it when it starts taking forever and then I just kinda glue pictures on the pages all haphazardly.

1. You didn't get a huge signing bonus?
2. Awww, PJ! You'll be fine. You'll have a fun summer living with your Sis and working at WDW and then you'll do a great job teaching in the Fall!

-- Rob

1. Riiiiiiight. I should be okay once I start getting paid....JULY 28th!!! Thanks for your concern.
2. yeah yeah yeah. I wouldn't be a Peej if I didn't worry so much!

Good Morning everyone....does anyone know how Lexi is doing?...I miss her morning shout outs...I hope all is well

I've been thinking about her, too. Hope you're hanging in there, Lex.

peej - Quit being a peej! Hee.

ATTENTION CELERY'S MAMA - Your son is going to start paying his half of the rent or you get him.
I'm giving him until July 1st.
Then he's evicted.

idk, somehow that just seems so against my nature.

Am I? Who wudda thunk it?

You KNOW I had to do this, right?

Certainly not me!! Just sayin.

You KNOW that made me cry, right?

Sorry. I dont think I know anybody by that name. Peej is close to Cincy, maybe she does. She knows everybody being a trollop and all.

Room to talk!

Goog morning, sunshines, have a great day, yada yada yada. I'm off to the great city of LooUhVull to look for housing then by tomorrow night I'll be on the beach!!!!! I might not be able to check in for a few days, so I'll catch y'all later! I'll be sure to make that bbn let y'all know I'm still alive. She's sure to appreciate that.

 

[Bloodhound]
