Just Questions--Lederhosen Spacesuits.

[alpro2]

Aaaahhhhhh.... Alex....... didn't you say you gave her a tennis lesson ?

I think we need clarification.

Nah...you know how women are. I purposely had to go easy on her. We all are better off is she thinks that she really beat me (but you and I know the truth, don't we Pogo?)

I went shopping for back to school clothes with my mother and sister today.

Did you behave? And if so, did your mother buy you an ice cream cone?

[disneydeb]

she really beat me


Did you behave? And if so, did your mother buy you an ice cream cone?

I did not get an ice cream cone as shopping is it's own reward.

Does anyone mind if I don't put a question here?

After two weeks, my house guests are gone! It's not that we didn't enjoy them, they are great, it's just two weeks of Santa Claus himself would be hard to take! It really upsets your day to day routine.

What does this weekend look like for everyone?

John is off on a photo shoot til noon, Olivia went back to bed (two weeks of grandparents really did her in!), and I am meeting a friend for lunch at 1:00. I am so excited...she moved to San Antonio two years ago and she is back in town this weekend for another friend's baby shower. I miss her .

Now I guess I know how all my friends will feel when I move away to Florida!

Hi everybody!! Wow... you guys have been busy!! I've had to do some serious speed reading to catch up!!
It's been a crazy couple of days... I've missed being around here!!

Isn't that because of the drop in ambient pressure or something? I have friends who are midwives and they say that more women do have babies during the full moon... have you seen that to be true as well? (It was a full moon when I had Ben and there were women having babies in the ER —there was no room in the inn— and then being put on beds in the OB unit's hallways.)

It is absolutely true! Full moons and rainstorms bring out the babies. I've also heard some say that whenever the space shuttle goes up or comes down, we also have more births -- can't say I've noticed it myself, though. But -- I guess I'll have to hope I'm not at work when we (finally) bring this spaceship back to earth!!

And just for the record, I am a Clinique girl.

How funny -- so am I!! We'll have to compare stories and products and share some things from our purses at AC in October!! Is your purse pink?? Mine's not, but then I don't use pink golf balls, either.

Besides, if they leave early, I'll just smite them (I think that's about the time I'll be creating the flood anyway). Did I mention that I'm playing Adam and Eve's Father?

Wow... that's quite the role... I'm impressed!! Just how did you have to audition for to play Him??? Puts you right up there w/ Morgan Freeman....

As for myself, I did have another appointment with my back specialist and he ran a bunch of tests because I was now having severe pain down the right leg in addition to the pain I have had in the left leg for the last 18 years or so. The result is that I have apparantly ruptured another disc!! Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done for it other than surgery. Since I have already had 6 prior back surgeries I am not really looking forward to having another one. He finally told me to go home and think about it. As of right now I am leaning towards living with the pain as long as I can before having the surgery.

I'm so sorry to hear about your back... I hope they can find a way to make the pain tolerable so you can avoid having more surgery. Back pain is SO hard!! Sending some your way...
Have fun at the 4-H fair... we're considering checking 4-H out for our girls, I think they'd like it. Hope it goes well!!

BUT... Deb's not feeling well. She spent over 4 hours in the ER the other night for sharp pains in her abdomen. She's been nauseaus, tired and ick feeling. She had a scan done this AM on her gall bladder, will get the results next week. But she won't be eating much probably. Poor thing.. I'll tell her you said hi though!

Send a to Deb for me.... I'm so sorry to hear she's been feeling so bad!! Maybe she'll be our next gallbladder gal... Christine can tell her how good the drugs make her feel...

Hi Guys! A quick zoop in......

Hi Mikki!! Nice to see you!!

Nah...you know how women are. I purposely had to go easy on her.

Ha ha... very funny...

Hope everyone has a nice weekend... we've got quite a bit going on the next few days, so I probably won't be around much -- maybe tonight from work -- but I hope you all have a great Saturday & Sunday!!

[Christine]

Oops! I cheated!

I didn't go back and read prior posts, but I just saw the health news on Jasper and Deb by reading Blythe's post.

Jasper, I hope you can find comfort and not have to have another surgery! I will be praying for you!

Deb, if it is your gallbladder, you can be relieved! It is really a simple surgery and I am 100% better for having it! (Just go easy on the pain pills!) But hopefully it was just some bad food or something. You haven't been eating any hot dog chili sauce lately have you???

[Beast_fanatic]

So Christine, did you ever give us a house update on how it's coming along? Sometimes I just skim over the posts and I miss some details that way.

[Riri529]

Deb and Jasper, sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Nah...you know how women are. I purposely had to go easy on her. We all are better off is she thinks that she really beat me (but you and I know the truth, don't we Pogo?)

Yes, yes Alex, we all know the truth. Don't we girls?

Bless you Christine! You must be on line after Mother Teresa for sainthood!

Heading to the pool now. What does everyone else have on tap for the weekend?

You're sweet to remember! Well, the sheetrock is delivered, there are stacks of it in each room, but not a one of them is put up yet. Hopefully next week they'll start that!

Bless you Christine! You must be on line after Mother Teresa for sainthood!

Only if they don't do a background check!

Everyone have a great weekend!

Did Mikki's Drinks on the Deck church party go well? (Does anyone else think they shoud convert religions if this is what THEIR church does for fun??? Beats the heck out of bingo!)

You're a riot, Christine!

Actually the soiree is this afternoon if the rain can stay away. Here's some sunshine attracting for you, Mikki!

As any of you could have guessed, I feel asleep last night (only had gotten in 4 hours Thursday night) and we ended up not going to the Harry Potter party! I guess you can say I am a party pooper. And then I couldn't get back to sleep until 5:00 this morning. Thank goodness they didn't double the dose of the steroids as one of my nurses was discussing or I'd still be awake.

Anyway, my plans for today include a few decluttering sessions at my desk, sorting out our NutriSystem food, some , some and some including trying to find a copy of HP (hopefully they'll have it at Costco). Now how much do you think I'll actually get done? Unfortunately, I won't get any of it done sitting here at the 'puter and watching the Tour de France, so off I go to the Wonderful World of Chores.

Have a good day, everyone! What kind of cookies should I buy when I'm out shopping?

[pogo]

(but you and I know the truth, don't we Pogo?)

(looking around to make sure nobody is watching) Yes Big Al..... we sure do know the truth....... no female can beat any male in anything except shopping and talking !

I did not get an ice cream cone as shopping is it's own reward.

Wouldn't you rather eat carrot sticks than ice cream ? I would !

I am so excited...she moved to San Antonio two years ago and she is back in town this weekend for another friend's baby shower. I miss her.

And we miss her too. Give her a big for us. What's her name again ?

Bless you Christine! You must be on line after Mother Teresa for sainthood!

You have got to be kidding, right ???? Our Christine........ Sainthood ? Oops, I mean yes, Saint Christine !

Sleep is good for the soul. And tequila will help you sleep ! Want some ?

[Beast_fanatic]

Sheetrock doesn't usually take long to put up, so hopefully when you go back next, you'll feel like you have real walls.

(looking around to make sure nobody is watching) Yes Big Al..... we sure do know the truth....... no female can beat any male in anything except shopping and talking !

Girls, I think the Nair definitely needs to come out after that comment, don't you? And, maybe we should wax his legs as well.

[Dsnygirl]

Have a good day, everyone! What kind of cookies should I buy when I'm out shopping?

Are you kidding?? Any kind!! Just the mere fact that you're out buying some for us is great... I'll take whatever you've got!!

(looking around to make sure nobody is watching) Yes Big Al..... we sure do know the truth....... no female can beat any male in anything except shopping and talking !

Wow... you're getting as bad as Alex. I think maybe it's a good thing you're not going to be there in October, what with all the Tasering and Nair'ing that'll be going on....

Girls, I think the Nair definitely needs to come out after that comment, don't you? And, maybe we should wax his legs as well.

I'm right there with you... who's going to help?? Where's Stitch when you need him??

Hope everyone's Saturday ended well... mine ended here at work, and my Sunday's starting here, as well. But, when I get up later today, we're going kayaking, so that'll more than make up for it, I think!!

Have a great day tomorrow, everyone!! (Except maybe Pogo and Alex... I think you guys need to do some penance w/ your wives and spend the day shopping and looking at makeup and having your nails done... all 20 of them. I've got a nice shade of pink that might look nice.... )

[drummerboy]

We had a full house tonight and the show went well. Just zooping in before I go to bed.

Everybody doing well?

[alpro2]

How funny -- so am I!! We'll have to compare stories and products and share some things from our purses at AC in October!!

OK............NOT!

Deb, if it is your gallbladder, you can be relieved! It is really a simple surgery and I am 100% better for having it! (Just go easy on the pain pills!) But hopefully it was just some bad food or something. You haven't been eating any hot dog chili sauce lately have you???

Yes Deb, listen to Bladder Babe. Oh, and in case Deb is reading, there is only one Bladder Babe, right Christine?

Yes, yes Alex, we all know the truth. Don't we girls?

I am glad that we have straightened that out. Be nice to me or I won't go easy on you the next time.

(looking around to make sure nobody is watching) Yes Big Al..... we sure do know the truth....... no female can beat any male in anything except shopping and talking !

Easy there big fella.

Me? What did I do? It was Pogo (what is your real name again?).

I think that would be Saint Bladder Babe.

[Nascfan]

Uh-oh, the Nair is coming out for Pogo. It's been nice knowing you. (haha!)

Congrats on the full house Ken!

Everyone enjoying this beautiful weekend? Gorgeous day out there, and we've got a 2:00 pm tee time for our daughter and one of her mates at one of the try-out courses.

Have a great day all!

[disneydeb]

Mikki, are you OK? Do you need a rescue ship?
Water vacs, fans? The news here shows areas west of London in dire straits.Just thinking of you!

[ElenitaB]

Intercot ate my post last night!

Ken, how did you do last night? No wardrobe malfunctions, right?

Anyway, glad to hear that all is well with everyone but it sure would be nice to hear from Mikki. Maybe the Canadian Mounties can go and seek her out for us?

[Christine]

Yes Deb, listen to Bladder Babe. Oh, and in case Deb is reading, there is only one Bladder Babe, right Christine?

I will happily relinquish my title should Deb be the next to have that surgery!

I think that would be Saint Bladder Babe.

Have I told you how much I am looking forward to hitting...uh...er.. I mean MEETING you in October???

Have a great day all!

You too, Scott! Good to see you!

Sheetrock doesn't usually take long to put up, so hopefully when you go back next, you'll feel like you have real walls.

I sure hope so. My landlady has already put the for rent sign in our yard and is trying to get it leased out for the second that we leave, so I have very little wiggle room on the new construction being delayed.


Can you believe it is almost noon and DH and DD are STILL asleep! I'm about to go upstairs and check Olivia for a pulse!

[dlpmikki]

Anyway, glad to hear that all is well with everyone but it sure would be nice to hear from Mikki. Maybe the Canadian Mounties can go and seek her out for us?

I'm here! Well the rain decided it was going to stay all day yesterday and the river rose (not over the decking but under it again) so we didn't actually have our drinks on the deck. Instead we were all in the house and had a pretty good time. Raised about $800 for the church which was rather more than I expected to manage!

Today I had a tennis match which was a long way off so I was away most of the day - got home an hour or so ago and then helped Andrew with some more clearing up. One plus side of a long car journey when I wasn't the one driving was that I could read the Harry Potter book

Havn't caught up on all the posts but for Deb and Jasper. It also sounds like Alex and Pogo need taking in hand (what's new!?) . Is nair going to be enough?

[Beast_fanatic]

Mickey, congrats on the successful (though soggy) soiree!

I have a very bad joke. What do cows do for fun?
