It's too quiet

[jesus loves me]

Sorry to hear that Laurie. Hope you're feeling better soon. i bounce back. with arthritis and fibromyalgia every day is different. some nights it hurts too much to hold this phone. i miss y'all when i can't be here or stay long!

[jesus loves me]

I've been away from him for twelve days now, I can't wait! Spent a coulpe days of that time taking care of a precious little girl, a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Born perfectly healthy, now profoundly brain-damaged. I may pick up the occasional fill-in shift with her, oh, she breaks my heart. glad you're here and that peter is coming home. so sad about the baby girl. what kind of care do you give her?

[NurseBettyLu]

Just a respite shift now and then, when her dad needs a break. He's taking care of her on his own, what a daddy.

[jesus loves me]

That is a good daddy. thought he might have been the one who did it.

[NurseBettyLu]

No, it was mom. It's real hard for me not to hate her. How could a woman do that to a person she grew under her heart for nine months? Don't get it.

[jesus loves me]

I guess if you have uncontrolled anger, it doesn't matter to the person. just sad. i understand wanting to hate a person that does that to the innocent.

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, rats. It's the nature of my job, I have to be really careful with my emotions. I'm told I'm too tenderhearted for this kind of work, and yet here I am. I've seen some pretty nasty stuff.

[jesus loves me]

Oh, rats. It's the nature of my job, I have to be really careful with my emotions. I'm told I'm too tenderhearted for this kind of work, and yet here I am. I've seen some pretty nasty stuff. i had a hard time working for the cat clinic. walk in and a cat died the night before or see owners after they had to put a cat down. that got to me.

[NurseBettyLu]

On a brighter note, my toe is better. I actually wore real shoes today instead of bedroom slippers. My sister went back to work and is able to get around decently on crutches. Hubby dear is actually cleaning up, and has supper ready as he gets home about an hour before she does. Okay, it's mostly carryout, but at least she doesn't have to cook.

[jesus loves me]

Great news for you two! i say carry out is better than cooking! can't imagine a guy cleaning up.

[NurseBettyLu]

He's a good guy, just kind of a doofus. His daughter is still coming over every day to help out a little, and I went over today to take them some chicken and dumplings. His sister brought them a cake last night. Carly is certifiable, but she does bake a mean red velvet.

[jesus loves me]

Red velvet! haven't seen that since nashville. at least they help.

[NurseBettyLu]

Ooh, tired. Sacktime, I guess. Be back next couple of nights late, assuming the wireless is available at work. Be warm!

[jesus loves me]

Hey, beth i have to go for now. if i don't see ya later, hope to tomorrow.

[Genna14]

I've been away from him for twelve days now, I can't wait! Spent a coulpe days of that time taking care of a precious little girl, a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Born perfectly healthy, now profoundly brain-damaged. I may pick up the occasional fill-in shift with her, oh, she breaks my heart.
Awww the poor thing! People make me so mad.

[jesus loves me]

Genna, i missed it somewhere but why are you genna'14' now?

[NurseBettyLu]

She's been demoted. Hey, where is everybody? Peter is snoring! Too cute!

[jesus loves me]

I was here when you weren't. glad to be back with peter or is it still cold in his room?

[NurseBettyLu]

I chinked all the windows with towels, and it's not so bad. I held him for so long tonight, I missed him so much. 11 days in hospital! We'll be months getting him back on anything that remotely resembles like a schedule.

[jesus loves me]

That is so sweet that you really missed him. at least you aren't as cold now. happy nurse!

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes, much happy. He has a get well baloon that's following me.

[Genna14]

I was not demoted, I had my name changed to Tony's new number for 2009, 14. He isn't in the 20 anymore.

[NurseBettyLu]

Did he get demoted, too?

[jesus loves me]

Yes, much happy. He has a get well baloon that's following me. "and everywhere that beth went the balloon was sure to go"? i have to depart soon to give my elbows and fingers a rest. hope to see ya later or tomorrow. aren't the tide playing tomorrow? if so, is it on free tv?

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes, CBS 3pm CST. Florida's a tough team. Ain't gonna be no walkover like Auburn.

[Genna14]

Did he get demoted, too?
No he left his team of 10 years and the Home Depot as a sponsor to co-own his own team, the number 14, with Office Depot and Old Spice as sponsors. *sigh*

I'm really gunna miss Zippy, his old crew chief, and Mark, his old spotter.

[NurseBettyLu]

I really meant that to be a bit more annoying. I must be losing my touch.

[Genna14]

You don't annoy me. You never have. It would take a lot more than what you can put out there to really irritate me.

[NurseBettyLu]

Aww, shoot.

[Genna14]

Try growing big ears, acting arrogant, and pretending you can drive a race car better than anyone alive. Then you'll irritate me.

[jesus loves me]

Watching bama. not happy.

[NurseBettyLu]

Try growing big ears, acting arrogant, and pretending you can drive a race car better than anyone alive. Then you'll irritate me.

That sounds really rather like too much trouble. I'll rely on my natural charm instead.

[pamcharlie]

I am back after two days off due to a really quiet weekend and also i got a text from a friend asking me to pray for her gran who is not well for her appendix burst and she has blood poisioning

[Genna14]

Watching Ace of Cakes......They look so yummy.

[jesus loves me]

Watching Ace of Cakes......They look so yummy. when i was pet sitting i got to watch it. loved it - and duff! told my sis about it and she watches it when she has the remote.

[Genna14]

I'm watching about Duff's life right now. He is a fascinating guy!

[pamcharlie]

Cakes Everyone loves cakes to quote donkey in shrek

[jesus loves me]

I'm watching about Duff's life right now. He is a fascinating guy! would've liked seeing that. he's kinda cute, too!

[Genna14]

would've liked seeing that. he's kinda cute, too!
I guess he's ok if you like those big thuggish guys.

[jesus loves me]

I guess he's ok if you like those big thuggish guys. not normally but i like his smile - and - he makes cake!

[Genna14]

Gotta love a man who can cook really well! Like my dad! We got SO blessed with a dad who can cook as I had to grow up eating my mother's food. Thank God for him bringing us a man who actually knows how to cook.

[NurseBettyLu]

Ahh, a man with a bowl of eggs on one hand and a balloon wisk in the other...omelet me, baby!

[Genna14]

Hahahahaha I hope I am as fortunate as my mom was.

[jesus loves me]

Gotta love a man who can cook really well! Like my dad! We got SO blessed with a dad who can cook as I had to grow up eating my mother's food. Thank God for him bringing us a man who actually knows how to cook. i know the feeling. my mom hated to cook - and it tasted like it! i took over at 13. my dad was a good cook as well and did bake some.

[Genna14]

You trying to describe someone in particular? Except for the description, you could be describing Tony!
Kyle "Shrub" Busch.

Tony doesn't PRETEND he can drive a car better than anyone alive, he CAN drive a car better than anyone alive.

[jesus loves me]

Night all. tonight air time free ends early. hope to see y'all tomorrow.

[pamcharlie]

It is nearly 6pm here in new zealand and it is overcast here and not very summery today at all

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm outta here too. Must go to w**k.

[Genna14]

I'm the posterboy for hyperactivity!!!!!1 ITS NOT MY FAULT the world's not keeping up with meeeeeeeeee.

[pamcharlie]

Charlie is busy preening and he is heaps better from his war wounds from another cat .

[Genna14]

Glad to know Charlie is better. Hope he learned his lesson.

[pamcharlie]

He is very wise for an eight year old cat, basil on the other hand is just learning at the age of two

Oh yes the christmas craft i was mentioning here it is

You will need the following :

One plastic bendable coathanger

Some florists wire or any other art wire

30 wrapped sweets

Some coloured tinsel

First of all take the coat hanger and bend it into a circle or as close as possible to a circle

Secondly Take the wire and secure it to the top of the circle then take one of the sweets and slightly open the wrapping and secure the sweet to the circle with the wire do this to all the sweets it can be fiddly but it is really not that hard

Thirdly After the sweets are secured to the circle with the wire take your coloured tinsel and wrap the tinsel around to hide the sweets . Hang up for friends and family to search through to find a sweet . Any questions regarding this i will answer

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds cute! However, I don't dare decorate with food, we have ants.

[pamcharlie]

Not the darn ants again yipes here in new zealand over summer we have to contend with flies , bees, moths and other insects

[jesus loves me]

I do not like insects in any country.

[NurseBettyLu]

I really got a thing about ants. They like my bathroom and my car. *shudder*

[pamcharlie]

Christmas shopping the crowds are starting to form it is all crazy from now on

[jesus loves me]

I really got a thing about ants. They like my bathroom and my car. *shudder* i learned to hate them in nashville. the apt. was invaded by carpenter ants. eek!

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds like bad science fiction. "Empire of the Ants"! Or "Kingdom of the Spiders"? William Shatner's overacting at its finest.

[jesus loves me]

Sounds like bad science fiction. "Empire of the Ants"! Or "Kingdom of the Spiders"? William Shatner's overacting at its finest. lol! i remember those! shatner is so bad!

[Genna14]

Hey Laurie, can you get PMs? I'd like you to send me one if you can.

[NurseBettyLu]

Tired! Busy day today, took mom out for a bit. We went to Hobby Lobby, where I got her all set up to make candles. I'll probably have to help her a lot, but it's something we can do together. I got a set of knitting looms. Ain't we all crafty now?

[Genna14]

I would like to go to Hobby Lobby...I haven't seen one here ever. I don't think they are on this side of the country.

[NurseBettyLu]

Come out to visit and I'll take you. Seriously fun place. They play Christrian music on the overheads.

[jesus loves me]

I am departing for now. catch ya later, ladies, or tomorrow.

[NurseBettyLu]

Later, lady. I think I'll knit.

[jesus loves me]

I use to knit. mostly cat blankets.

[NurseBettyLu]

I like to knit sweaters. I just hate putting them together.

[jesus loves me]

I really didn't know how to knit anything else! wish i coulda done sweaters. i also use to do cross stitch - i really miss doing that.

[NurseBettyLu]

Me too. I hurt my hand a few years back, and now my thumb and forefinger won't close on the needle. I can still crochet and knit, though.

[jesus loves me]

I regret that i never learned to crochet. the things are so pretty. how's peter?

[NurseBettyLu]

Hail rattling against the windows, thunder and lightening, wind, and he sleeps like an angel. He's still well.

[jesus loves me]

Ah, youth. glad he's well. i have to go. the fibro is really bad and i need to put this phone down. my neck amd shoulders so bad. 'night, beth. hope the weather improves tonite.

[NurseBettyLu]

Nighty-night. Pain go away.

[Genna14]

Come out to visit and I'll take you. Seriously fun place. They play Christrian music on the overheads.
That would be awesome if I didn't live so far.

[pamcharlie]

Hey where is everyone ?

[Genna14]

[NurseBettyLu]

sigh* Here we go again...

[Genna14]

Wellllllll sorry!

[jesus loves me]

I'm back again. It gets boring and lonely around these here boards when no one is around. we don't coordinate time here well, do we.

[Genna14]

Well different states, different time zones.

[NurseBettyLu]

Here me is! I have a cold and the office people are mistreating me. Having myself a fine pity party tonight.

[jesus loves me]

Poor, poor beth. have a nice cup of coffee with holiday cheer in it.

[NurseBettyLu]

Aww, you always know how to cheer me up.

[jesus loves me]

Ya taught me well!

[NurseBettyLu]

What I really want is to go curl up in bed with a bellyful of niquil. If only I could breathe through both nostrils at once...

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, it's one of those nasty kinda colds. eves use vick's for your nose?

[NurseBettyLu]

Found something I like better. Called Simply Saline Cold formula. It's a saline spray with homeopathic medicines in it. And a little menthol to soothe the poor nose. The relief is just temporary, but It can be repeated as often as necessary.

[Genna14]

I can't use nose sprays, they make me nauseous.

[pamcharlie]

Hey there I really need everyone at the moment my sister is back in hospital with two small brain tumours but i will be here

[NurseBettyLu]

[Genna14]

[NurseBettyLu]

They operate on friday and i am so tired and sleepy i need a fresh infilling of the holy spirit too .

Praying for your fresh fire. We all need that from time to time. It will come when you least expect it, usually out of the quiet. It'll be awesome.

[jesus loves me]

What is it with sisters these days? Mine broke her ankle. Peter won't go to sleep. I'm back at w**k, but still have a hacky cough. it appears to be open season on sisters. mine isn't saved so her surgery makes me nervous for more than one reason. glad you feel better.

[NurseBettyLu]

I certainly understand our concern. Adding your sis to the salvation list.

[jesus loves me]

I certainly understand our concern. Adding your sis to the salvation list. thanks, beth. her name is jo ann. the surgery is to stitch her bladder back in as it's fallen. she is 64 and all i have in family, really.

[NurseBettyLu]

Definitely praying. Trying not to cough, tired of coughing.

[Genna14]

I know what you mean about sisters. Mine has gone completely nuts.......oh wait......she's normally like that! HA! :P

Praying for your sister Laurie.

[jesus loves me]

Thanks for your prayers. i had a surprise today. my sis called - she'd had surgery today but told me it was tomorrow so i wouldn't worry all day. she only talked a few minutes but said she was ok.

[Genna14]

[NurseBettyLu]

Peter is asleep! Yay! My sister goes back to the doc on the 29th. I still have the awfullest cough. There. All updated.

[Genna14]

[NurseBettyLu]

Back to bed is always a good idea. Love yer avvy. Is that Foamy? I so dig him. He's got kind of a potty mouth, tho'.

[Genna14]

Yeah I probably shouldn't be watching him but he's so funny and right most of the time!

[NurseBettyLu]

Secret guilty pleasure time.

[pamcharlie]

Secret guilty pleasure time.

Secret guilty pleasure time can that include liking johnny depp i have a johnny depp calendar for next year

[Genna14]

Shhhhhhh. Lol Foamy really is my secret guilty pleasure. My sister introduced me to the world of Foamy and I was hooked. Have you ever seen the Amityville Toaster? "You bought a haunted toaster??"

[pamcharlie]

Shhhhhhh. Lol Foamy really is my secret guilty pleasure. My sister introduced me to the world of Foamy and I was hooked. Have you ever seen the Amityville Toaster? "You bought a haunted toaster??"

I have a guilty comedy pleasure i like the simpsons watching them at the moment

[jesus loves me]

Vampire movies and metallica.

[Genna14]

Hahahaha ohhh Laurie! You are too much sometimes!

[ZippyApplePants]

Secret guilty pleasure time can that include liking johnny depp i have a johnny depp calendar for next year

You have excellent taste. :D

[jesus loves me]

Hahahaha ohhh Laurie! You are too much sometimes! what? *giggles*

[NurseBettyLu]

B-grade devil movies.

[jesus loves me]

I gave those up but remember them well!

[NurseBettyLu]

There was one I can't recall the name but it was sent up on an episode of MST3K. Unforgettable robot quote" "That's Amazing Grace! You can't use Amazing Grace in a devil movie!!!" Was so bad it would have been funny w/o therobot commentary.

[jesus loves me]

Hahaha! never saw that one.

[Genna14]

Oh I loooove bad SciFi Channel movies and the XFiles! I'd have to say those are some of my worst guilty pleasures.

[NurseBettyLu]

Plan 9 from Outer Space. Night of the Lepus. Empire of the Ants. Green Slime. The Pod People. If these are not in your collection, or at least your netflix wish list, you cannot in good conscience call yourself a scifi fan.

[Genna14]

How about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? hahahaha

I never said I was a SciFi fan only that I like to watch their crappy channel. Lol

[NurseBettyLu]

The movies are still worth a watch. They're really, really bad.

[pamcharlie]

Old b grade movies yes on the mgm channel and tcm channel there are alot of those and oh another thing i like watching is that program whose line is it anyway you know the one where the comedians have to thearter sports things

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't want to go to w**k tonight.

[Genna14]

I'm watching the POTC trilogy today! :D

[pamcharlie]

I am having an early night tonight i have a 10.30pm christmas eve service tomorrow night should be excellent

[Genna14]

Is it already the 23rd there?

[NurseBettyLu]

Cats have not moved from in front of the heater all day.

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, guess what? more snow, ice and freezing rain tue., wed., fri. and sat. love it here.

[NurseBettyLu]

Guess what else? Highs in the 70's by Christmas. That's what I like about the south.

[jesus loves me]

Guess what else? Highs in the 70's by Christmas. That's what I like about the south. yeah, i remember those happy days.

[NurseBettyLu]

Come winter at my house. Srsly, having soup tomorrow night. Lima beans and Conecuh sausage. Cornbread. Blackberry cobbler if I get off my lazy butt and make it. Gage's gramma gave me a box of GooGoo clusters for Christmas. Mmm, GooGoo clusters...

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, goo goo clusters and good food! be down by c'mas! what kind of sausage is that? have tn rest hands soon.

[NurseBettyLu]

Conecuh sausage is a smoked sausage made in Conecuh County, AL. It is spicy and very fatty and good, considered by many down here to be a food group all by itself. Good to make soups with due to its high flavor. Not health food. May be turning in myself before too long, busy day today, insufficient sleep.

[ZippyApplePants]

I'm watching the POTC trilogy today! :D

"But why is the rum gone?!" :D

[Genna14]

"But why is the rum gone?!" :D
Hehe! Ohhh yeah baby! I love POTC's witty remarks. Hehe It takes me to a time when movies had to rely on wit and sarcasm and not so much on cool effects *although POTC has both of those!*

[pamcharlie]

Hehe! Ohhh yeah baby! I love POTC's witty remarks. Hehe It takes me to a time when movies had to rely on wit and sarcasm and not so much on cool effects *although POTC has both of those!*

[ZippyApplePants]

Dec 23rd and its Mom's birthday. I'm praying hard that it stops raining! Its our tradition to go to Winterhaven on Mom's birthday and if it doesn't stop raining, no Winterhaven! :(

What's Winterhaven?

[3D NC fan]

What's Winterhaven?

I wondered that myself. Maybe an outdoor festival?

[sandie]

Maybe in the middle of the year, in Winter? :P

[Genna14]

Its a neighborhood here where all the houses decorate for Christmas with pretty lights. They have contests for best house ect. Its my favorite tradition!

[ZippyApplePants]

Cool, thanks for explaining it. I like to look at all the decorated houses too.

[pamcharlie]

Christmas lights and decorated homes here in new zealand that is catching on here there are some really attractive displays around too, oh you will never guess what i was shopping yesterday one fashion store has for sale tshirts with president elect barak obama's face on them.

[Genna14]

[pamcharlie]

Winterhaven is a GO! YAY! I'm getting all bundled in my scarf and hat with my autographed leather Tony jacket and gloves!!

Have fun Genna, a friend and i are going to look at lights tomorrow night , yeah it's christmas tomorrow

[NurseBettyLu]

Did I mention that I like Christmas?

[Genna14]

Oh we had a blast but my sister was acting like a Scrooge the whole time. We even walked through the rain! LOL! It was a fun night all in all, despite the rain *which I love walking in*.

And I know she'll never see this but.......HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm sleepy. Peter isn't.

[Rainlily]

Everyone's asleep & it IS quiet! I should go to bed, too. We wrapped about half our gift's tonight. Will do the rest after breakfast tomorrow. I'm always the 2 AM Santa on Christmas Eve, wrapping away while my husband is sleeping. I'm determined to get it done early (with his help) this year!

[NurseBettyLu]

I do gift bags. I'm gift wrap challenged.

[Rainlily]

Then you gotta have tissue paper to put inside. I usually only do a gift bag if it's a hard to wrap odd shape or something. Usually forget to buy the gift bags anyway & have to dig through my stash of pre-owned bags!

[NurseBettyLu]

Scored good on all that stuff last year on after Christmas sales.

[Rainlily]

Did that with gift wrap a few years ago & still have TONS of it left!

[3D NC fan]

The roads were almost deserted this morning. I usually wrap gifts on Christmas Eve, but my hubby has done a lot of the wrapping this year. It was great until he found one of his gifts. :eek:

[ZippyApplePants]

Did I mention that I like Christmas?

You have now.

[Genna14]

Ahhhh a stress free Christmas Eve. Except for the fact that my BFF's sister is pissing me off to no end today. She told her that if I call one more time she's gunna pick up and tell me that I have to send her a check if I want to keep talking to her. Whatever!

[jesus loves me]

Am i alone on christmas eve?

[Genna14]

I'm here! I just got to open my Christmas presents! I got a $20 gift card to Border's bookstore and a Mutemath cd! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Where is everybody?? I'm sorry about the smelly cheese, come back!

[jesus loves me]

Smelly cheese? i missed something(brown out yesterday. power co. left at 10pm).

[NurseBettyLu]

No, I just opened a package of roqueford to crumble over the oyster pie this afternoon, and it was a bit pungent. Figured that's what ran everybody off.

[jesus loves me]

The cheese i can handle, the oyster pie however will scare me off!

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't really care overmuch for it, but everybody else does. So it's a holiday must.

[jesus loves me]

Sounds more like a holiday 'mustn't'! are you here tomorrow? i hate holidays. *sings 'all by myself'*

[NurseBettyLu]

Most yesly here, as I w**k tomorrow night,too. Something's wrong with my space key.

[jesus loves me]

What? i have to go. i don't get air time free on holidays so if i can't come back b4 5:59am, i have to wait for 9:01pm again. merry c'mas, beth!

[NurseBettyLu]

Merry Christmas! Thank You, God for the wonderful gift of Your Son, a gift that has made me and this dear lady sisters, even tho' we've never met face to face. What a miracle!

[jesus loves me]

Merry Christmas! Thank You, God for the wonderful gift of Your Son, a gift that has made me and this dear lady sisters, even tho' we've never met face to face. What a miracle! amen! see you later, beth and have a good c'mas!

[Genna14]

Merry Christmas! Just watched A Christmas Carol from '51, it was fab!!! The ghosts were super freaky!

[NurseBettyLu]

Merry Christmas, Genna! Yeah, that one's my favorite, and next is the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge.

[Genna14]

Yeah probably! But anyway it was soooo amazing! Especially since it was like my first time watching it. I looove old BW movies!

[NurseBettyLu]

The original Miracle on 34th Street is another don't miss.

[Genna14]

Haven't seen it yet. I gotta finish watching The Christmas Shoes tomorrow.

[rossid]

Quiet? I thought I heard something... :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Hooves on the roof? Quick, pretend you're asleep...

[Genna14]

Santa already gave me a gift card to Border's! :P

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm soooo sleepy.

[rossid]

"One is the loneliest number..."

[NurseBettyLu]

1/2 is worse.

[Genna14]

I came home and tried to sleep and couldn't. Meh.

Mom and dad want to adopt a baby...............

[jesus loves me]

I came home and tried to sleep and couldn't. Meh. Mom and dad want to adopt a baby............... wha? a baby dog or cat perhaps?

[Genna14]

A baby child.

You know....a little human. I about fainted when they told me.

[jesus loves me]

A baby child. You know....a little human. I about fainted when they told me. oh boy. how do you feel about it or are you still in shock?

[Genna14]

I think I am still in shock. I'm not sure what I think about it.

[jesus loves me]

Yeah, that's kinda like a bomb being dropped on you. what do your siblings think?

[Genna14]

I don't think they know yet.

Don't you think 24 is too old for your parents to have baby fever??

[jesus loves me]

Don't you think 24 is too old for your parents to have baby fever?? yes!

[NurseBettyLu]

NJo, they're right on schedule.

[Genna14]

What to do......

[NurseBettyLu]

Chill. Hopefully this too shall pass.

[Genna14]

Oh no they are very serious as a matter of fact, we almost adopted a boy when I was about 14 from an orphanage in Mexico.

[NurseBettyLu]

In that case, get a t-shirt that says "I'm the Big Sister" and go with the flow.

[Genna14]

help. :confused:

[NurseBettyLu]

I would be delighted to help, but I don't know how...

I remember being in shock at 16 when my parents told me they were having a baby. My sister and I have never been close due to the age difference. I love her, but we just don't have much in common.

[jesus loves me]

My sis(my dad's daugh.) was near 16 when i was born. she married when i was 3. i have to ask her what it was like for her. today, things in life have made us best friends.

[Genna14]

Yeah but I'm 24!! I may be 26 when this happens!!

[jesus loves me]

Did they ask you how you feel?

[NurseBettyLu]

My sister was born when I was 12. Close in spite of not having much in common. But then again she wound up marrying a man six years older than me!

[Genna14]

What does it matter how I feel? I probably won't be living at home when it happens.

[jesus loves me]

What does it matter how I feel? I probably won't be living at home when it happens. it would be nice if parents at least wanted to know how things affected their family - like all the secrets/lies in my family.

[Genna14]

I'm not really sure I care either way.

But trust me, I know about secrets and lies. I've lived with the sad truth that my family hates me for a long time now.

[pamcharlie]

[rossid]

Hey I was out here alone again!

[jesus loves me]

Hey I was out here alone again! poor dear. join the club!

[Genna14]

Laurie have you got my card yet?

[jesus loves me]

Laurie have you got my card yet? no, but mail has a way of getting stolen or delivered weeks later. if you didn't put the apt. # where they like it, sometimes they won't even deliver it. i'll keep looking. *sad*

[Genna14]

Ummmmmmmmmmm well it had better get there. Where the heck was I supposed to write the number at??

[pamcharlie]

Hey everyone i am here it is totally quiet in my city due to the holidays and it is lovely and summery here today

[jesus loves me]

Ummmmmmmmmmm well it had better get there. Where the heck was I supposed to write the number at?? some get it back if the# is in the lower left hand corner instead of on the address line. it's most likely the card was hijacked or is still on it's way. will let you know if it arrives *sad*

[rossid]

She too young and still gets carded? lol :P

[Genna14]

I put it in the address line and mailed it a week ago today. I hope you get it Monday! If not, I'll inquire at the PO.

[jesus loves me]

May I refer you to the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? Fine read. Warning: a bit racy in spots, but the story just pulls you in.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hey I was out here alone again!

Aww, poor baby.

[HotWireD]

If she doesn't get it you will be PO'd at the PO, right?

My thoughts exactly.

[jesus loves me]

True, but it took my sis's card 2 weeks from wisconsin. they had a story on the news about how bad mail is here - we were the worst in the u.s.

[NurseBettyLu]

KittyBoy is in the garbage again.

[jesus loves me]

He's so sweet! have to go. hands now numb and pain in wrists unreal. see you later or tomorrow.

[NurseBettyLu]

Maybe tomorrow. Thinking about turning in early. Hope your hands ease up soon.

[rossid]

You call your husband "KittyBoy"? :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Well, I have an ex, and I certainly don't call him anything that nice.

[rossid]

Hand pain?

Does my tendinitis and a church gal's carpal tunnel have anything to do with that topic?

[NurseBettyLu]

Yup. She stays on as long as she can stand it. Ow.

[ZippyApplePants]

Its been more than 3 days....
