Jane 63 & Co. - part 3

[ccgirl2]

OK, the anticipation was killing me. Let's go!!!!

[Impurrfect]

oh shoot....I just posted on the other thread, had forgotten we were starting another one!

Remember...I'm blonde....what do you expect

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

[ccgirl2]

Shucks Amy, I don't even have blond as an excuse, LOL

[Impurrfect]

maybe we could use our age as an excuse, since we're both the same age?

I always tell people at work "I'm old AND I'm blonde....give me a break!!" And, of course, the coworkers who know my history, I add in that I killed a few brain cells with crack.

Darn, I'm lucky I can manage to get dressed!

Oh yeah, I WAS the one who put my shirt on inside out the other day........never mind!

[Klynn33]

lol - HEY!! were you guys trying to lose me by starting a new thread??
(didn't work)

up since 4:30 - that can't be good considering I just went to sleep around 1. may as well stay up now and get ready for work. feel pretty good though, considering.

and why am I freezing in here at the end of June?? jeez....all wrapped up in my blankie...
something's not right with this picture.

[Impurrfect]

Krista - I would GLADLY send you some of our weather...it's been in the mid to high 90's for weeks, and it's only going to get worse.

[Klynn33]

ummm....no that's ok. That's too hot. I'd be passed out all day - literally.

I won't complain anymore. and I do like my blankie....

(note to self: no blond jokes...............)

[windysan]

Is this where we post about our logs?

[Impurrfect]

oh, it's okay about the blonde jokes....my hair actually has a lot of gray in it and it just LOOKS blonde, so being blonde has it's advantages

[anvilhead]

bit of a chill in the air here too! not bad tho, absolutely gorgeous moring...i slept on the couch (well i fell asleep on the couch and hank did try to rouse me.....i snarled something, he chose safety first and let the sleeping grizzly bear alone)....so i was gently awakened by the rising sun. the sky starts to lighten by about 4, so that kinda tells you how long i've been up! yesterday's mood stayed in yesterday, thank god.

still thinking hard about taking a couple days vacation....just get me some down time, ME time. think i'll go in today and get things wrapped up and then take weds/thurs off......

awesome chuck roast in the slo cooker last nite....added some carrots and potatoes, after braising it all day in beef stock, tossed in a packet of onion soup mix......divine. had to have seconds.........

oh by the way, i talk about cooking a lot! good healthy food is a BIG part of our recovery.......haven't seen the inside of a restaurant in a longggg time!

[Impurrfect]

Hey Windy!

So dad just set off a bug bomb in the kitchen...with Elvis sitting right there. I didn't know, and walked in there and now am wheezing and coughing. Stepmom had let Elvis outside but I made him come back in my room so I can keep an eye on him.

And dad? He left.....

[Klynn33]

I'd leave too if I set off a bug bomb......of course I may warn the other members of the household to do the same

get your head stuck out the window - wheezing and coughing can't be good......

I agree with the time off Anvil - good for you. I took today off actually - just because I haven't used any vacation time yet and I didn't sleep last night. throw in the housework I'm behind in and I thought it would be a good day to call in. And ummm....was that roast last night's supper? shoot. You could have invited us...........
yummmmm

[Impurrfect]

oh yeah...Anvil's always cooking and it always sounds good.

Wheezing is letting up a bit, and I will try to get to sleep soon. I would love to call dad and ask if he's trying to kill us, but his van is in the shop (work van) and he's in "victim mode" so I will keep conversations to a minimum...you know, "the world is out to get me" stuff. I keep telling him it's not all about him, but he doesn't listen.

Guess which parent I got being hard-headed from?

[ccgirl2]

Um, healthy cooking? Does that mean I shouldn't be sitting here at the computer eating my big ol bowl of Captn Crunch Peanut Butter cereal?



OK, Windy? What logs - as if I didn't know, LOL

[anvilhead]

oh cc, please, don't encourage him!!!!!
cereal huh? man i haven't had a good ole bowl of cereal in quite awhile! my fave used to be grape nuts with honey and half n half.....OR steel cut oatmeal where the oats stay nice n chewy, with brown sugar raisins and half n half. yum....

[canuhearme]

Anvil, you always make me hungry!! Oh BTW, did I tell you I bought a 32 oz jar of minced garlic? You have to use 5x as much of it as fresh garlic but it makes it easy to put garlic in just about every thing!!!

Hi Windy! Please leave the 'logs' in the other thread!

[canuhearme]

Guys I'm feeling really sorry for my self right now. Maybe I'm just moody, I don't think so but I'm female and I feel it's my right to be mood every once in a while. Anyway here's the deal, On another thread Anvil posted a comment joking about southerners still saying "Yankee" and afew others were talking about "red necks" the topic of the thread was not about either of these but the person who started the thread was off topic as well. I posted replying to both Anvils post and a redneck comment. It was not putting anyone down, I just added my two-cents. The thread poster comes back and say something about his heart bleeding cool-aid and ask where is my humility, and please stay on topic. He didn't aim it directly at me but trust me, I know it was directed at me. I replied back kinda nasty and feel bad about it now, but this person hurt my feelings, and he does it every time he replies to me.
To top it off, my dog got out of the back yard and got hit by a car while ago. I think he's fine, just skinned up a little. Then I come back in and read that response and just start bawling. I was having an awesome day up till then, excited because for the first time in weeks I had a chance to sit and catch up with every one here. Now I feel so unwelcome.

[anvilhead]

opening arms really wide - you are ALWAYS welcome here!!!!

some days stuff gets to us that other days wouldn't even blip on our radar. whatever ya feel, ya feel, and that is perfectly ok. maybe your emotional guide was looking for something rather small and inconsequential to release some pent up feelings over......

try to remember we have no control over the personalities here, nor the opinions rendered......only how sucked it we wanna get. try the ignore button if you like, try to walk away if ya can. you didn't just steal a kidney off the donor list, so it's all resolvable. BIG HUGS

[canuhearme]

I'm pretty sure I'd of blown it off if I hadn't just came back from the down ward spiral of first walking out back and seeing my dog gone (last time he got out of the yard I didn't see him for 3 days) I called him and he comes running up muddy and covered in road rash He's 90lbs and I keep inside because he jumps over or digs under the fence every time he's left out very long. And go's exploring! Last time a doctors wife caught him, it was neat because they are building a house that looks like a castle with a moat around it (not a moat, it's a cooling pond for the solar power, wtf?) Any way I have been dying to see the place (every one in town talks about it) and due to his Houdini skills I got to see it. But I fear I won't be so luck next time, so I panic when he's out of sight!
I'm pulling it back together now!

[Klynn33]

((canuhearme))
I'd like to say just forget it - and that's actually the best advice.....but I don't always do that myself either. (maybe it is a moody woman thing!)
There is one person on these threads that I've tried commenting, offering advice etc to - and I either get no reponse, and if I do it's patronizing, like I've wasted their time. So I've resolved to the fact that maybe they're just having a bad day too, or I just annoy them - and unfortunately I can't change that. (trust me, I've TRIED to be less annoying, it doesn't work)

just know that you can't please everyone - and that a lot of times on here comments I think get taken out of context because it's so hard to read people without seeing their faces.

but don't feel unwelcome - this place has been my "haven" for 2 weeks now, and if I wasn't on here I wouldn't be as far as I am.
STAY!!!!

[canuhearme]

Hi Krista, Thank you! I love your avatar! I've seen your post on here and have been meaning to say welcome to SR, but it's been a crazy month
So Welcome to SR! Two weeks late!

(trust me, I've TRIED to be less annoying, it doesn't work)

lol, being an ADD child and an ADD adult I understand this comment all to well, and love it.

[Klynn33]

SHUT UP!!!!!! a fellow ADD person????????

wow, we could be super annoying between the two of us on here........teehee

[canuhearme]

LOL, most of my family is ADD the men/boys are ADHD, so we stay on each other nerves, we all know our kids teachers way to well (little add angels stay in trouble) ! Funny, most ADD people don't know when they are annoying! Makes it worst!

[anvilhead]

ok so which is which? on the ADD/ADHD thing? my other half is whichever one is flighty and forgetful....bit like trying to hug a hummingbird and has a tendency to scatter stuff all over hell's half acre and then not be able to FIND anything!!!! but also when focused is like a laser beam.......HAS to fuss with every dang button and knob in the car, all the time, while driving, usually while driving MY car....it's like he can't go for more than about 15 seconds without changing the station, turning up the volume, opening the windows, adjusting the drivers seat, mirrors....takes me most of my hour drive to work to get things back the way i like them!!!!
he was a real hoot on crack i tell ya...........sheesh

[canuhearme]

lol sounds like he's ADHD
ADD is just attention deficit disorder, while ADHD is attention deficit and hyperactive.
Most ADHD kids grow out of the hyper part and just become ADD.
ADD adults tend to be just like this

my other half is whichever one is flighty and forgetful....bit like trying to hug a hummingbird and has a tendency to scatter stuff all over hell's half acre and then not be able to FIND anything!!!! but also when focused is like a laser beam.......

well focus on things they want to be focused on anyway
They tend to be very intelligent but seldom live up to their abilities because they seldom finish anything! And me personally, I used to get depressed because I just felt different than others and didn't seem to be able to accomplish as much as I knew I was capable of, BUT once diagnosed ADD and you start to understand how to change things life gets a lot better. Medication helps but most of it is addictive and tends to be abused!

I like talking about ADD!!
