Oh, I have a meeting this morning and then some training to do when I get through I am going to find the story I read this morning. Mrs. Governor is holding his feet to the fire. That situation isn't over yet. She said her concern is not his career or his politics. She said her concern was her sons. I'll post it if I can find it.

Thanks deacon! I figured we wouldn't hear from you again till you had travel time. I hope that first lady does the right thing for her sons and with her time. When and if she channels all that incredible energy she gave to her husbands office (so he had time to screw around) she might just make herself more successful than he ever was.
I hope the judge grants her all his income. :D She's a very attractive woman. There are a lot of nice men out there with a lot of love to give. She'll find one and she and her sons will live happily ever after.

His tan line lady might find herself another stupid American to pay for her green card. I have a feeling the paparazzi is looking for her right now. We'll see her tan lines in no time, on the front page of the National Enquirer some day when we are standing in line at the market. ;)

Most of you know, I was married very young and was a mother in my teens. As we all know, young people don't always make good choices, but young or not, often fate delivers us to to some windy weather in relationships. Being from a strict Italian set of parents, I dared not think of getting divorced, so I did my 20 years. Three years after my father passed away, I did the unthinkable. I filed for a divorce because I believed there was more in life than unhappiness.

It never occurred to me that I would remarry. I didn't believe my children could deal with a step father. 7 years after my divorce I married poppa. The day we married I was totally out of my body. I loved him very much, but I was so scared. (I knew him for a few years before we dated)

Lemme tell ya. My children were young adults when I remarried (the baby was 16) and they adore him and pay honor to him consistently. He is the man they turn to when they are scared or need advice. He guides them and never disrespects the fact that they have a dad. He weathered all the issues we came to him with. So, in my case divorce was a good thing. We should never underestimate the kids. They are sometimes the teachers and, we the students.

That Governor is toast if he thinks she won't divorce him.
(And well she should.) He can earn his father rights, like my ex had to. If she stays, fugeddaboudit! :no:

Don't want to see her "tan lines" or any other part of her. Thought you folks might like to read about Mrs. Sanford. She ain't Hilary that's for sure. I really wish they would can him and let her be govenor. She would sure do a better job that the guy we have standing in the wings waiting to take over. He was stopped on an interstate doing close to 100 under the influence. :no:

Yikes, I think I see the sunshine.. wait, uh, um, no, yeah there it is! Gosh I was getting used to the dank, dark, cold wet summer... My serotonin levels just may go up today. :eek: I think I'll go shopping today! I just washed my floors and even THOUGHT of laundry doin. But since the sun is out, I'll do the laundry tomorrow. :)

Her statements have been very respectable. Her sons will learn to treat women the way she insists on being treated, no matter what dad does. Good for her! She's got her priorities right!

Well considering he was doing those e-mails from office, home and farm, it had to be someone with access...that leaves the wife, the governor, the mistress, or the kids. I agree with deacon, after reading up on and from the wife, not her. Nothing in it for the governor, who was probably hiding them on his end. I doubt the kids would do it. And that leaves La Cuerpazo...she is the only one who would stand to benefit.

I seems to have come out that the mistress was the one. A woman scorned so to speak. "Be sure your sins will find you out."

Didn't the paper say they had them last month? If so, then she wasn't scorned yet, she was trying to get the wife to leave him to drive him into her arms. Seems to have worked. Guy's a total tool, and by that, he's not a hammer, he's a nail.

The article I read seemed to say the emails were fowarded after he broke up with her. I don't blame her for doing that but he is just "not so smart."

What gets me is that she would do that with a married man to begin with. If he cheats on the wife he has now he would have cheated on her.:shrug:

Monogamy doesn't seem to be a high priority in Argentina, based on conversations I had with some of them. So La Cuerpaza might not care.

The State said they had them in December but couldn't authenticate them (http://www.thestate.com/sanford/story/839930.html) , but there might have been several releases from "interested parties", imo.

How come all the media types who played Point at the Pedophile are now rending their clothes and pouring ashes upon their heads over Michael Jackson?

And while I'm on it, how come my grandmother could barely get enough codeine when she had terminal cancer, but celebrities are swimming in demerol lakes? :flamemad:

[Amy]

You're kidding! He might have used STATE MONEY for this?! Has he travelled to Argentina on "state business" before this?

I googled it- he DID! http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/24/south.carolina.sanford.argentina/index.html what an ass. Loses style points. Just another thief.

imo.

It certainly seems like it can be tracked about how much state business he actually conducted. But, I suppose he and others could claim just shaking the hands of a statesman in that country, maybe exchanging a few words would be enough to call it a state visit, and have the "junket" fully funded, even if he spent a week or 2 there.

They are so "special." They have Dr.s that write a prescription for anything. I think those dr.s should have their ability to practice medicine pulled.

On the other thing, please tell my you are not suprised. I was waiting for that when I heard of his death. All they will talk about is his talent and his love for kids. Just not the correct type of love.

One of their "side trips" was a hunting trip. I guess I paid for that too. :flamemad: The way things are going here none of us will be able to afford to go hunting or fishing but we can pay for him to through taxes.:flamemad:

Ah, once again the reasoning behind staying with a married man is that he will leave his family and be with her..over and over women fall for this. Hoping against hope. While that saying 'you can't help who you fall in love with' may be true, you can have enough respect for yourself to know that if you fall in love with someone who has a significant other, that person is not fair game unless they are free of any other relationship. That shows they respect you enough to not keep you on the side, until...whenever. Her scorn is misplaced ~ she was messing around with someone else's someone, to which she had no right. http://i40.tinypic.com/4k772r.jpg(that goes double for him). Now he pays the price for taking on someone he had no right to.

When are people going to learn?

Love his wife's quick interview..his career has nothing to do with her, blah blah blah...deacon's right, she's no Hillary. Be strong, Jenny! Though she sounds like she will try to work it out with him..I tell ya, no way can you feel the same about him after all this, it will not make for a happy home..let's ask Spitzer's wife!

BTW, his recent rendevous cost taxpayers $12,000! Don't cry for me Argentina!

[deacon]

Hunting what, I wonder? Were they "hunting" at a milonga?

Probably doves or quail. They have what they call hunting preserves (which I truely hate) that, for a fee, you can hunt on. They have those in this country too(which I truely hate{get the idea?}) where you can hunt all sorts of animals. Most of them(which I hate) are inside of high fences where the animals can't go anywhere. Their defense (which I truely hate) is that the property is so large it is like hunting in the wild. NOT. The quail hunting preserves raise their birds from eggs and when turned lose have no instinct to avoind human contact.

Those places (which I truely hate) are sick. I wish they were outlawed.

I wonder if we could start a Jenny for Govenor campaign here. Hmmmm

When you, as a married person, first feel an inapproprite attraction for another start you need to seperate yourself from that person. End of story. Remember, you felt that once before for the one you are married to now. Stop being around that person at all cost. Absolutely nothing good can come out of being around that person. At least, that is my idea of how to handle that situation.

I have been married to the same lady, bless her heart for putting up with me, for 31 almost 32 years and she does not look like she did when I married so she says, but neither do I. BUT, she is the same person on the inside. That has never changed. Now that is what I mean when I say "beauty is only skin deep but ugly is slam to the bone." I do not care what this person looks like she is ugly and so is he. Slam to the bone.

[old_soul]

I never followed the MJ case as far as evidence ~ or lack of. I saw the many interviews with him asking what was so wrong with showing a child love by sleeping in the same bad with them, the same way you sleep in the same bed with your own children...

Considering that MJ's mind truly was childlike, or stunted (which I believe), he didn't take care of his finances, he played and frolicked his days when not performing and even shopped like a kid in a candy store..totally out of sync with a man his age...

Can it be that he was innocent of the accusations, and was used as a target for extortion? I honestly believe there was not a malicious bone in his body. Anyone who knew him for many years and is saying what a talent , genius he was, stayed silent during his trial because they couldn't back him re his guilt or innocence. But, they readily admit now, he was a talent we will never see the likes of for many many years, if at all. This world was too much him, and I blame his father who belittled and ridiculed and beat him and did not allow a child to be a child, all in the name of the almighty dollar. Everything they had was off those kids backs, mostly Michael.

Where was his mother then? Another instance of a mother letting down her child. If the pressure of 9 kids was too much, well then, why did you keep having children when you didn't have a pot to piss in. Michael Jackson just wanted to be loved, and to be loved by his father. It dictated his whole life, and made him a psychological mess.

We have heard this sort of story before, and I'm sure we will hear it again in our lifetimes.... Children need to be nurtured.

He was surrounded by yes men, not friends. All of that fame and talent, and he didn't have a friend to trust, a loney loney person. So sad and wrong.

I agree with you deacon, and because someone looks different is not enough to stray...period. It was just about physical gratification, and that is selfish and wrong...

At some point in our lives sometimes we as humans realize that we are no longer the person we were then. Maybe the other person is not the same person we married. Probably true on both ends. There is no reason, if the two decide, not to stay in a loveless marriage. Children learn from what they see...the indifference, and an atmosphere of 'no love' so to speak is just as debilitating as a marriage with violence or psychological abuse...more often than not, it gets repeated. Anyone have a cold or indifferent parent who didn't show love? What does it do to a child?

Before my parents divorced, my older brother was witness to, and understood what was going on in our home ..how does a child wind up with an ulcer? This taught me it's better for parents to be apart than have a child go through this...

What can Spitzer's girls think of him? What will this scumbags son's think of him?

I totally understand what you are saying. My point is, don't stay in a marrige that is loveless and then run around. Get the steps right. Divorce and then to the new lady. Not the other way around.

Kinda like Think then do, not do then think. The second doesn't work out so well.

Only 12K? Hmmm, not such a high price for a last supper.
;)

Most women who get involved with married men, don't really want them when they leave their wives. They kinda lose their luster and the thrills turn to leaky faucets and mortgage payments, and writing checks to the ex wife. Kinda makes her want to rewind the tape and find another non committal exciting guy. Those guys can't afford expensive dinners in high end restaurants and lavish baths in fancy hotels. Not good.

That was interesting. I love restaurants, but I can tell you, it is one of the hardest jobs in the world. I salute those people for all their hard work and success. (Of course success never comes without hard work,) but that business is filled with broken backs, burns, tears and many long days. I am the greatest fan of good restaurants AND the biggest critic! THe first thing I do when I drive buy a restaurant is look at the parking lot, if it's full, the food is fresh.

That menu is fantastic! Glad you got some meatballs in Carolina! :)

Without some sort of intervention, these young women will probably feel that men have the right to trample all over them and use and abuse them.

And these young men may grow up to be womanizers and abusers.

I hope the moms have good shrinks lined up NOW!!!

imo, the best is the SC mother who is standing up for herself. These first ladies who stand at their husband's side as they confess affairs-its like they are in the blocks being publicly tortured. How can that affect the children? I'm glad to see one wife NOT standing by his side. If her sons learn bad things from dad, they are learning good things from mom. They are learning, you cheat, you lose, women deserve to be treated with respect. Good for her.

Maybe if more of these politicians wives stand against them, fewer of them will think its okay to cheat and their wife will cry and stand with them. I sure wouldn't! It's unnatural, imo.

They are sometimes the teachers and, we the students.

That Governor is toast if he thinks she won't divorce him.
(And well she should.) He can earn his father rights, like my ex had to. If she stays, fugeddaboudit! :no:

I was raised Irish Catholic but I never had kids and finally was married but it was worth the wait. I know if I married any of the boyfriends I would have been miserable. I do miss not having children but I do have furry ones.
Mrs Stanford comes from a very wealthy family Skil tooling. So she does not need the money. It will be interesting to see if she stays. I am sorry you did not get divorced sooner but sometimes I think things are predestined for a reason.......if that makes sense.........sara

Well I have good news and bad news. My cousin gave me her old comp and it has Windows 98.It actually works pretty well but I was only able to download adobe flash player 8.0 as anything else is incompatible with system. It really really works slow with this website. I guess you need adobe 10.0 for it to work properly on this site. It gives me an error message and really is slow. . The good news I have sound again and it has a CD burner and really is cleaned off and running well. But boy this sight is difficult. Is there anything else I can do to make this site work better? As I said I can only download and install 8.0 and it works but boy is it slow. I guess I will have to patient in the end. LOL. If anyone who is a computer nerd or really comp saavy has any advice for me , let me know. I do not want to spend lots of money to upgrade though.

I know nothing mu. I am sorry. my network connection has become quite weak and I keep trying to figure it out with no luck. I am sorry but at least we are worth slow. LOL sara

How come all the media types who played Point at the Pedophile are now rending their clothes and pouring ashes upon their heads over Michael Jackson?
Oh, that's right, no internal compass of any kind...

imo.

So right BoB! Soooooo right you are! He's now born again into sainthood!

[Nawny]

lol i wish it would rain here for a day at least.....it is 97 degrees right now and the potential this weekend is 107....im just glad we got our pool set up, next weekend is the 4th and we have a parade and carnival to go to and it is going to be just MISERABLE

You stay home and let the parade go on without you Miss Pregnant lady! I missed four 4th of July Parades. When you are a Nawny, you will know that there will be many more parades. I am into pain free living at this point in my life. I used to think I had to suffer until one day, I got off the cross and life was good. lol! Now days, if it hurts, I refuse to do it. Take care of yourself honey.. when your baby comes there will be no rest for the weary.

What name have you decided on? :)

Happy feet make happy me! Good idea. When I'm real hot, I run the cold water on my inner wrists and I can feel all the blood cool down. They also sell these cool pads that you can put on your neck or anywhere on your body. I'm sure you can get them online. They have to be so great in that kind of heat. I think I'll be grateful for the rain. 3 months of it and I'm thinking we're all used to it. It's worse than Norway here. Talk about bad hair days? My hair is getting too long to deal with. I need a cut.

[Nawny]

here too Jlette but I have to keep remember heat and humidity is better than snow snow and more snow........sara

LOL! I thought that would last forever in these parts Sara! I was ready to do the Florida thing but didn't get there till April. I loved it.. nice and warm..

[Nawny]

I was raised Irish Catholic but I never had kids and finally was married but it was worth the wait. I know if I married any of the boyfriends I would have been miserable. I do miss not having children but I do have furry ones.
Mrs Stanford comes from a very wealthy family Skil tooling. So she does not need the money. It will be interesting to see if she stays. I am sorry you did not get divorced sooner but sometimes I think things are predestined for a reason.......if that makes sense.........sara

Yes Sara, it makes very good sense. Always for a reason. If I divorced sooner, I'd never have met poppa. He came along a few years after I was divorced. I always say things are "Predestined for a reason" Your furry kids are very fortunate to have all that unconditional and focused love!

Nah the power packed stuff of the NC gov's wife is going to do him in. She's got everything, doesn't need him, so sadly she must have loved him. But, to play the devils advocate for a sec, we don't know the full story. She might have been using him for her own purpose too. Some of those types marry for immortality. She could have been channeling Jackie O. Ya know, maybe she was a wanna be wife of a president?

It's hard to describe what it's like where I live. It's not a city and it isn't the burbs, it's townish but not quite. Right now I am hearing fireworks. I'm sure there will be the screeching of firetrucks soon enough and it's raining.

Honest ta GOD, it's raining.

The eggplant parmesan was great and we had our gossip session after dinner. We beat up the A's and laughed at ourselves for silly things. All my weebles are safe in their beds and we're looking forward to the 4th of July party on the lake one town over. I'll be cooking a lot on Friday and of course I'll be doing the meatball marathon. I'm also making a huge tray of stuffed cabbage by request.. Why? Because my children are half Polish. LOL! I'm trying to think of something different to bring as well, like Taco salad or a big Humus platter with triangles cut out of pita bread or some such. Any ideas? Maybe a platter of rollups?

BTW, When I asked last week, what non smokers do with their free hand, did someone here say "Stuff your face and eat anything that doesn't eat you first?" That's what my free hand is doing lately. I even broke down and bought potato chips. :punch: This auriculotherapy is unbelievable, but now I have to go to Weight Watchers.

[Nawny]

we are really lucky every year because my mom knows the owner of one of the shops on main street here and so we get spots saved for us under their big awning, lol. my son loves the parades and this year he is finally tall enough to ride some of those rides at our cheap little small town carnival, so our plan is watch the parade, go home get in pool for a few, go to the carnival in the evening, then back to the park to watch the fire works.

and we have decided to name the little one Isaac Evan, hubby thought it went well with big brothers name Luukas Mikael :biggrin:

Monogamy doesn't seem to be a high priority in Argentina, based on conversations I had with some of them. So La Cuerpaza might not care.

The State said they had them in December but couldn't authenticate them (http://www.thestate.com/sanford/story/839930.html) , but there might have been several releases from "interested parties", imo.

Wow, thanks... that video was so pitiful. The comments were interesting. Some say he fell in love. One said Jenny is a cold woman and he needed more. Hmmm. I don't know what I think, except to say his needs were obviously not being met. He committed emotional and economical suicide. He should have simply asked for a divorce. Money is the lynch pin IMO. Shouldn't mix that dirty green paper with love.

I think there are times with people of wealth, when love can't happen without that dirty green stuff. Love can't be threatened, I say, so if Miss Argentina loves him wealthy, she'll love him broke too. His best choice would be, forget politics, go to his "dear, dear friend" and take what ever goes with it. I saw him back peddling. Can't go back babycakes! Move on. :no:

He should have said, I was not wrong for loving someone outside of my marriage. I was wrong for not ending the marriage I was not happy in before I reached out for someone to fill the void. I intend to continue being a father to my sons to whom I am morally obligated for the rest of their lives. What ever personal decisions I make are no one's business from that point on. (He should have called me to write his speech) :hat:

He can always sell hot dogs on a beach for a living. He may like it.

when my hubby and i first got together about 5 years ago, we weren't together very long before i got pregnant with our first son, and i found out he had finnish background. i thought that was interesting lol because i had never met anyone who was finnish before, so i perused a finnish baby name sight when i found out what we were having and found Luukas and Mikael (pronounced Mi-KALE) i have gotten so many weird looks for spelling Luukas that way, but it makes him just a touch more unique than a kid named Lucas lol. if we were having a girl it was going to be Braelyn or Brianna

That is really interesting J. I never knew anyone with a Finnish background either, but then again, I didn't know there were others besides Italians until recently.. (wink) I come from the land of meatballs and pizza pies.

Actually, I married a Polish boy when I first got going. I like their traditions. Nice people. Strong people! They didn't like my nationality, but I grew on them.

I believe there are no pure kinds of nationalities left. My parents were Italian but my father always said, the wars mixed us all up. My father had the bluest eyes I ever saw. He said the Germans took the women. And I have mousy brown hair. I guess I have the map of Naples on my face, but his blue eyes got all over the kids. My kids are half Italian, Polish Irish French and Indian. Mutts yep. :) Beautiful mutts. Ahh Europe is all mixed up. Ireland ,Germany, France, Switzerland, Poland, England..

:biggrin: he is helpin mommy set up baby brothers crib today, they are going to be sharing a room since we put him in the master bedroom last year.

my mom could not understand why we did that but the way i see it is, the master bedroom is at the very back end of the house, the second largest bedroom where me and the hubby are is in the middle of the hallway, so if anyone were to break in to our house in the middle of the night at least we are in between them and our kids, makes me feel a whole lot safer ever since we did it, you read all these stories about kids being taken right out of their damn beds now and its terrifying.

plus he now has his own bathroom with all of his own stuff in it, he doesn't have to wander down the dark hallway at night to go to the potty anymore AND he has a nice little "dressing room" with all his toys that won't work on carpet. lol he is the boy who has everything i think, his room is an amazing array of Lightening McQueen decor and he has a TV with cable and a VCR to watch all his own movies. he is all excited now that his baby brother is gonna be sleeping in his room, and we even have sheets for the crib that match his bed, he told me today that we should paint the baby's crib red to match his red racecar bed LOL kid just cracks me up

alright break time is over, gotta get back on that room, can't leave a job half done :seeya:

I do enjoy them so much. They are the gentle souls who never hurt anyone. I could hang with them all day every day! I love when my daughters and son tell me they have a wedding or something, then I get to keep them overnight. We have lots of fun together because "nawny says yes a lot."

I went to the deli yesterday in a huge market called Stop&Shop. As I was waiting for the clerk to cut the cheese I ordered, a guy pushed his carriage near me and it had one of these kiddie cars attached to it. In it was a gorgeous little girl around three years old. She was blond and looked like a genuine angel. He was around 30, blond curly hair, nice looking man. He spoke German to the little girl. She got out of the kiddie car while he was standing a few feet away from her and proceed play with the button on the ticket system which shot out deli number slips when you pushed the button.

I noticed the man walked away from the counter, my eyes followed him half way across the store where he was meandering around the produce area sorting out what he wanted.

The little girl saw that she was alone and smiled at me. My heart dropped because I knew she'd have gone off with just about anyone in a heartbeat. I talked with her and waited for her father to return. He was gone at least five minutes. Too long!!!!! When he got back to the deli counter I said, Your little girl is very beautiful. He answered with, Heh not bad for 15 minutes, you should see her mother she's even more beautiful.

I wanted to stick his head through the plate glass counter.

[lighthousedazy]

My sister in law is Korean, and in a crowded mall at Christmas, she let the little girls go ahead a few stores. I noticed and "tagged along", then later asked my hubby to have a talk with his brother about talking to the sil about life in the northern hemisphere. Too bad it has to be this way!

LOL!! Actually I did see the irony when I wrote that post. I have to use that to keep from sticking heads through plate glass when they are putting kids in danger, or when they hurt a child. (Many stories) Poppa had to peel me off a man who hurt a little boy once in NYC. It's strange that I let people roll over me. I'm a real softy. But when I see a child getting hurt, I go ballistic. Even when someone hurts a child's feelings, I'm scary. :no:

One day my DD was disciplining one of the weebles for a minor kid crime. She was correcting her and it was appropriate to do so. My weeble was very embarrassed. Tears fell down my face and I had to leave the room. It must be old age because I raised four kids and I disciplined them just fine. :o

Barack Hussein Obama was looking for a call girl.
He found three such girls in a local pub, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead.

To the blonde he said,
'I am the President of the United States.
Now how much would it cost me to spend some time with you?'

She replied, $200.'

To the brunette he asked the same question.
Her reply was $100.


He then asked the redhead....

Her reply was,

'Mr. President, if you can get my skirt up as high as my taxes, my pants as low as my wages, get that thing of yours as hard as the times we are living in, and keep it rising like the price of gas, keep me warmer than it is in my apartment and screw me the way you have retirees,
then it isn't going to cost you a damn cent !'

So true. I've heard both daughter in laws say (many times) "I'm not your mother!" It's strange that boys expect to be waited on, but not really. I never saw my father near a kitchen sink or a stove. Oddly, the best chef's in the world are men. :shrug:

:) I had that Allarest stuff with me. It wasn't too bad this year. Waking up in Disney was so nice. The green is so green and the flowers, are so beautiful. I loved drinking my cawffee out on the porch of the condo in the early hours of the morning watching all the underground sprinklers spraying the trees. It was so dreamy. I love Disney!

It's wet out here this morning. :( Looks like it rained again last night. My view of the side yard looks like the rain forest. I'm expecting Tarzan and Chita to come swinging through.

In it was a gorgeous little girl around three years old. She was blond and looked like a genuine angel. He was around 30, blond curly hair, nice looking man. He spoke German to the little girl. She got out of the kiddie car while he was standing a few feet away from her and proceed play with the button on the ticket system which shot out deli number slips when you pushed the button.

I noticed the man walked away from the counter, my eyes followed him half way across the store where he was meandering around the produce area sorting out what he wanted.

The little girl saw that she was alone and smiled at me. My heart dropped because I knew she'd have gone off with just about anyone in a heartbeat. I talked with her and waited for her father to return. He was gone at least five minutes. Too long!!!!! When he got back to the deli counter I said, Your little girl is very beautiful. He answered with, Heh not bad for 15 minutes, you should see her mother she's even more beautiful.

I wanted to stick his head through the plate glass counter.

Hey Nawn, you should have replied "15 minutes? That's all. What was the rush, had to catch a bus or something?" :)

I've been getting caught up in so many Michael Jackson videos today. So darn interesting. After listening to his father being interviewed, I don't blame him for checking out. MJ was not of earth, not this earth anyway. I never gave him a real lot of thought but he was somethin else, jeeze! An odd duck for sure. I couldn't help feeling the excitement when I was watching him perform, which I never really did before this. I wasn't that big of a fan, (I hated what he did to his face) but he is indeed a legend.

Only 12K? Hmmm, not such a high price for a last supper.
;)

Most women who get involved with married men, don't really want them when they leave their wives. They kinda lose their luster and the thrills turn to leaky faucets and mortgage payments, and writing checks to the ex wife. Kinda makes her want to rewind the tape and find another non committal exciting guy. Those guys can't afford expensive dinners in high end restaurants and lavish baths in fancy hotels. Not good.

But that was the taxpayer's $12 k. Makes a big difference when you know his politics. Ultra-conservitive? Only when it does not affect him. Then he is liberal.

[BeastofBears]

PLease tell me she's nuts, and what would you do?

So, my next door neighbor seems to think she can come into my back yard at will. Over the last couple of years: 1)First, she was running around back there in her underwear looking for her cat. When I opened the door to see who was there, she was all, "oh, its just me!" (don't care, get off my land). 2) Then I got out of the shower to find guys on ladders peering into my windows. Arborists, "she" told them they could come into our yard. They would not leave until I threatened to call the cops. 3) underwear, cat again. I put a padlock on the only gate to the yard 4) today! I look out in the yard and there is a ladder balanced against our side of the fence, like a nice doggy escape ramp. I called hubby, what did you do?! He didn't do it, but he heard neighbor calling her cat back in that area. Its not even our ladder.

So, she is on my land again without permission. I have a 75 lb dog who likes to protect his yard and/or escape. She could not have come in through the gate, as it is padlocked. She had to either a) go over the 8' fence or b) break out some boards and then replaced them. But left her ladder.

Should I call the cops so THEY can explain to her about trespassing laws? What would you guys do? Short of rock salt in the 12 gauge, I mean...

[deacon]

I don't know why so many people don't make sure their boys know how to keep a house and, seriously, cook. I knew many a guy in college who subsisted on Doritos and cans of green beans. gross.

My son cooks as good as his mom does. Shhhh don't tell her. Now the cleaning thing, he has a way to go.

call the cops!!! i would, and if that doesn't convince the nutball that she doesn't belong on your property then i would start setting traps. living where i do we have problems with trespassing people, mostly tweekers and delinquents, using our property for shortcuts, and i quit calling the cops a long time ago, i just go and chase em off now, but also we do not have a fence enclosing our property, if you have a fence and a gate and she is still going into your yard then i would at least give the cops one chance to tell her to back off, then all bets are off, just make sure you put up a no trespassing sign :biggrin:

Me being me would talk to the neighbor first. One time a neighbor kept letting her dog into my yard (no fence). I love dogs but I am allergic so I got a copy of the dog laws for the city from the police dept and gave it to her. Situation taken care of. But your neighbor does not sound very smart. IMO sara

[SaraSidle]

Well, I have always loved the name Arsinoe. She was one of the sisters of Cleopatra, and it means "woman of wisdom"...but then my hubby said that she would be called "arse", and that her first pony party the kids would point and say "look, a horse's arse." His point made, the name was ruined for me forever...

LOL that is awful but a good point. sara

[deacon]

Okay ladies, some more on the good govenor. He is a member of the SC Air National guard. Now, buy the Military Uniform Code of Justice, he is guilty of adultery. I think we have enough proof of that. Let us see if his commander does the right thing. Under Military Law, he is subject to punishment up to and incuding dishonorable discharge. He should have thought of that.

Now, also it is adultery is also against SC State Law. One year in prison or $500 fine. (old law that is not used much anymore) Some say we are behind the times but in this case I think we are right on.

I ended up downloading the trespassing regs from the city site and duct taping them to the ladder. Then I wrote "to whomever put this ladder in my yard: please note that the next time, I will call the police. Please do not make a 'next time'." And I photographed it for evidence. So when she gets it, she will get a final warning.

Since she only ends up in my yard in her undies, I do hope she is nursing some large splinters today! (most of us do not run around outside in a t-shirt and panties, right? I don't even remember people doing that in college!)

I think I can guarantee they will do nothing. Friend in the AF actively tried to get the "other man" prosecuted for adultery, the AF did absolutely nothing and basically made him jump through hoops, not the other guy. Our military is not what it used to be. He was very disappointed.

As far as SC law: it is clearly a breach of contract-why should that not be illegal? I hope they dust off that law and apply it. Do you want him out of office, deacon?

YES. And I voted for him. He is a hypocrite. he talks about saving money and then steals money from the state to go there? And yes, this is State National Guard, not the AF. There is a big difference. AG is an elected position. If the AG pushes it it will be done.
Stealing public funds is where the big charges stand. I once worked for the state. I knew the penalty for doing that.

Doesn't sound like she is one who would really think you are serious, or that you are talking to her. I'd try the cops explaining to her, and if she doesn't "get it" I'd be for calling them to arrest her if she does it again. But, that's just me. ;)

Why can some people not understand a really simple concept? It is called "private property for a reason. We don't seem to be taught at a young age to respect the property of others.

Just another lesson taught by child psychologist that stinks and is sending this country straight to ....

I would do exactly what you're doing. If you call the cops and make a report, it will be on record which is a good thing. If your dog bites her where the sun don't shine, she can't say she wasn't warned..

BoB - I'm guessing that your dog is outside when she comes around, right? Report it, but I know it's not easy getting the police to take this kind of thing seriously, it's not like she's stealing from you.

Years ago I had neighbors, 3 houses down, that would come up the back of every one's property to see my baby lambs that were on the back of my property. They would scare the still pregnant sheep and the new moms and that would annoy the border collies. The parents and the kids sneaking over then complained they were afraid of the dogs to the police! The police came and walked my little farm. My entire acreage is fenced in. The sheep were again fenced in two acres. The dogs could not and would not leave the property. The neighbors were then told, by the police, that they were the problem, not my dogs.

Now, that is HOT!!!! Glad you all had a good time, tho, and welcome back.

I'm playing catch up, too. Last Monday, DD had a lap chole, got her home on Tues and later that night, one of my sisters called me @ work to inform me Daddy had fallen and broken his hip. They brought him to the town I work in, he had surgery Wed, and just was returned near their home to a swing bed facility today. He's 88, Mom's 82 or so. Good thing there are 6 of us girls, and all are back in the area, so there was always someone to be there for Mom. I told the people @ the hospital, I am a family member, not a nurse in this instance, so they were to take care of Daddy. There were some pretty frustrating moments--he got all stoked up on the morphine, add that he just had major surgery w/anesthetic, and he can't hear worth a darn--now THAT was interesting!!! I never knew Daddy could be belligerent, he rarely even raised his voice when we were kids. He said GD THREE times in one evening, I don't think I had heard him say that 3 times in my life!!!!

Thanks Nawny-good to be back-the New Yawkers flew onward home with us today. So we are tired. We spent some time with my sister and BIL in Boulder and had a great time. Some of us did some hiking up in Mt. Charleston-beautiful and only 78 degrees. We helicoptered over lake Mead,Hoover Dam and of course visited both on foot. Had to bin at least 115. So much H2O and only a cocktail when in for the night. Did the strip one night-wow getting sleazy down there even in the nice section. I cant remember what else we did as i am tard-we left vegas at 10 p.m. last night and arrived in our driveway at 7ish this morning with the time change. Slept a bit but up so i can get back on track. It's all good :seeya:

You have your hands full this week huh? It is so hard when a parent or anyone for that matter, that you love, when there is illness. Stay strong and watch those moments with clear eyes. There is a blessing in there somewhere.

I believe you about the morphine reaction. I've seen it in my family. I couldn't believe it, but I learned that some react that way to morphine. Bad stuff! As a nurse, you know this. Lord, wish I did! Sending good thoughts your way for your daughter and your dad. :rose:

Of course I was wearing nighties and would have to throw myself into the kitchen window but I am pretty sure someone had to have seen me. thank goodness I was many years younger LOL.

I guess. I did not mind the large chairs or the free champagne (as much as I could drink in an hour). I know I would never buy a ticket unless I won PCH but I would look to bump up when I can. My last 2 trips one way of both was full but I already had seat assignments and said to heck with it. You are right As long as we get there safe I do not mind where I sit. I think the back is the safest even..........Sara:cool:

Oh deacon, you'll love this, more from your favorite politician: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/30/sanford-says-crossed-lines-women-mistress/?test=latestnews

Cue the http://i42.tinypic.com/du2qq.jpg for the big http://i40.tinypic.com/2u8b31y.jpg

The critter calls another woman his "soul mate", but says he's "trying to fall back in love" with his wife?! What insanity is that?!

I saw that tonight. Made me puke. I found a puke smilie but can't get it to post on here. Once again, a politician who thinks the world revolves around them. I wrote an email to the state repblican party and told them just what I thought. I voted for this creep because he talked a good game. He has disappointed me for a while and this just blows it out of the water. I let them know if they didn't do something about this they would not get my vote for anything again. Right now I would vote for a dog instead of this guy. At least the dog would only wag his tail instead of showing his tail.

Oh, I couldn't leave this one alone.

That man (and I use the term loosely) doen't know the difference between love and lust. He fell in lust with this woman, not love. You don't fall in love with a person, you decide to love them. First you are attracted to some quality that the person has and then you either decide to love them or not. Lust, sometimes, plays into the attraction but most often does not lead to true love. You know the kind of love where a woman doesn't mind when her husband has a recuring bout with the "done lap" desease. His belly done lapped over his belt. Or when a man does not measure his love for his wife according to her measurements. Or when you find out the small things you didn't know about someone when you marry them and begin to live with them and they really are different when they first wake up and you love them all the same.

Love is a decision, not an emotion. At least the love that lasts a lifetime. Like the love a wife has for her husband when he goes through a mid-life crisis and wants to buy new toys like sports cars or motorcycles or take up a new hobby to prove to himself he is still young. Like the love that a man still has for his wife when she goes through the change of life and is a little crabby sometimes. The love when you put your spouse FIRST instead of right after what you want at that moment. Oh, I could go on but I won't. I teach Sunday School and this is one of my lessons that I use from time to time. The first time I used it I thought one guy was going to the preacher about the way I taught it. He went home that night and read the scripture I used and prayed about it. Good thing he didn't go to the preacher, he thinks the same way I do.

He fell in lust and can not really admit he messed up. He wants to put a reason in there for messing up. That does not work. He is only giving excuses not reasons. In this subject I do not accept excuses, only reasons.

[Nawny]

oh no. When i first moved in here i would use the back door and deck to beat my throw rugs outside and then i would lock myself out. Of course i was wearing nighties and would have to throw myself into the kitchen window but i am pretty sure someone had to have seen me. Thank goodness i was many years younger lol.
Bob i just think it works better if you use authority as a last resort because maybe "just maybe" the person will be less defensive. I hope it works for you. I am sure you are annoyed. Sara

Hmmm, Love, my favorite subject. I think I know what you mean here deacon, but I am sure it is a man's perspective. :)


What this guy did is nothing new. Yep, lust! It is a powerful draw when a man is not in love with his wife. It is a high feeling and a compelling force. This is often going to happen when you stay married for the wrong reasons. IMO (of course) I don't know that it is possible to decide to NOT love someone you love. We do at times, throw the word "love" around too loosely. I'll venture a guess that the gov does not love his wife. I believe that when we discover that we don't love our mate, and we break ties with them, the central lie is staying where your heart doesn't want to be. And I know from experience that anything real cannot be threatened. When a separation is forced, by war, death or some other circumstance love doesn't die.

Hi Sara :seeya: Yes it is pretty sweet. Flew back tho on the other airline-first time with that one-Oh lordy-cramped and plane was so dirty. I do carry those handy wipes. Other than the free ticket i would never fly that airline again-starts with an S. I prefer northwest. We got home safely so guess thats all that matters. Off to work here shortly.

Love is a number of things but all of them are decisions. One must purposely do what is necessary to make that real and to do the things that need to be done to show that love to the other party. I will go to the religion thread this afternoon and post a little more of what I believe. That is where I need to put it.

Ephesians Chapter 5, Verse 25

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Too many men look at this verse and stop there without understanding what is says. To best understand it we need to go read Jesus’ prayer in the garden before his death. He prays to the Father about the happenings of the next day. There are three things that we need to understand about this prayer. First He never questions the Father’s purpose of Him being on earth which is to pay the price for sin that only He could pay. That would give birth to the church that is mentioned. Second is that He put the Father’s will first. Husbands must put God first. Third, He says this one more time after asking if there was another way to do this, which of course He knew there wasn’t. This sets His priorities for life. He put God first, He put the church (people who believed in Him) second and He put his wants last.

A husband MUST put God first. He MUST put his wife second. He MUST put himself after several other things including his children.

Sanford did not do this. I do not do it perfectly and in fact no where near perfect BUT I am growing in this all the time. He(Sanford) claims to be a Christian and then does not even seem to try to live the life God wants him to live in the family aspect. Now does he? He never came close. He has now admitted other things he has done in the past.

Verse 28 continues:
28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

You see, when a lot of preachers preach this they leave this part out and it is just as much of an instruction as the other. You see, this part clearly shows how much value I MUST put on my wife and her needs and wants. They are the same as mine. These actions come form a decision, not emotions. This comes from two sermons presented by my pastor and his wife and three trips to marriage retreats with my wife including numerous classes.

Beautiful. Thank you Deacon.

What I find odd is that the girlfriend looks so similar to the wife, but the wife has a very stern look. It doesn't look as if there was any joy in the marriage. I'm not married but I would have to be with someone who made me laugh.

Sadly enough, she didn't until this came up.:( She is a class lady from what I know about her. In fact, I think we should run his sorry assonthething out and let her be govenor. At least she seems to tell the truth.

Marrige is a covenant. A life-long contract with another human being. We take it too lightly now. Before anyone jumps my rear, God does not nor has he ever, intended for a woman to stay in an abusive relationship. He loves us too much for that. He does, however, intend for us to think about the other first. Jesus said, "I did not come to earth to be served but to serve." We need to follow that example. See why the guy in Sunday School didn't like what I had to say? He took a text out of context which make it a pretext. Or something like that. My favorite professor told us that in Bible class many times. She was a wise lady.

Think cabbage! :hat: I have to make two deep trays of Stuffed Cabbage for the 4th. I remember when I first saw stuffed cabbage. I decided to guess what was in those luscious rolls. I put together ground beef, garlic, Romano cheese, eggs, oregano, and rice. I rolled those buntings so lovingly, baked them with tomato sauce and served it to my Polish friend. She politely said, Hmmm I never had cabbage stuffed with meatballs. :o

One Saturday afternoon, she showed up at my house with a half dozen cabbages and the main ingredients for the stuffed cabbage and taught me very well how to make it.
I never forgot it. LOL!!!

I'm not seeing the similarities between this guy and Clinton. Clinton was operating on the sex only train. This guy is emotional. Clinton didn't give his fling the common courtesy of a poetic email, he just used her as a receptacle.

I also think. That article is beyond ridiculous. There is nothing left to analyze. He's mentally ill??? GMAB!! A narcissist? Baloney! He fell into the "tender trap" is what he did. Sin? Yeah. Cardinal sin? Maybe. Deadly sin? Well, it isn't about saving babies. He fell from grace. He didn't kill anyone. I defy any one of those political pigs to refuse a romp in the hay with a sexy, beautiful Argentinian hoochie momma. They're all fallible. (Unless they're on Blood Pressure meds)

The Gov's biggest sin IMO is hypocrisy. He should step down before all those glass houses shatter and mess up the White House. :patriot:

[Amy]

Thanks Nawny-good to be back-the New Yawkers flew onward home with us today. So we are tired. We spent some time with my sister and BIL in Boulder and had a great time. Some of us did some hiking up in Mt. Charleston-beautiful and only 78 degrees. We helicoptered over lake Mead,Hoover Dam and of course visited both on foot. Had to bin at least 115. So much H2O and only a cocktail when in for the night. Did the strip one night-wow getting sleazy down there even in the nice section. I cant remember what else we did as i am tard-we left vegas at 10 p.m. last night and arrived in our driveway at 7ish this morning with the time change. Slept a bit but up so i can get back on track. It's all good :seeya:

Oh, the Las Vegas strip. Man, I gotta get some of that cawfeeee in me. I kept reading that, thinking WHO did the strip, as in strip tease!!! Sounds like you all packed a lot of action into your trip. I can only imagine how tired you are--I'm tired just reading it all!! lol. Good company, good fun, you can't beat that!!!

[Amy]

Ha!!!! Nothing is new then. Chit sounds good to me!!! Our flight was overbooked se we opted to take the perk offered-sent over to Northwest delta who is our airline of preference. Reimbursed on our tickets one way. Bumped to first class-SWEET and a free round trip ticket good for one year. Bonus was we got in 20 minutes earlier so what a perk and no brainer. Hmmm wonder where i could use my free ticket ;) FLA? A liar conflab

Wheeler-dealers to boot, lol. What a deal. Hmmm.....perhaps we should all be chanting for the trial to happen during your time to use the free round trip ticket. That would be a great way to use it!!!!

[Amy]

Oh deacon, you'll love this, more from your favorite politician: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/30/sanford-says-crossed-lines-women-mistress/?test=latestnews

Cue the http://i42.tinypic.com/du2qq.jpg for the big http://i40.tinypic.com/2u8b31y.jpg

The critter calls another woman his "soul mate", but says he's "trying to fall back in love" with his wife?! What insanity is that?!

Geesh!!! "A rambing press conference" is a mild statement. I was listening to I think Hannity, and I tho't we were listening to a statement or two of his pc, thinking it would surely be short, sweet, and to the point. NOT!!!! I finally turned the dial, and about 10 minutes later, went back and he was STILL on, saying pretty much a lot of nothing.

If I was his wife, and the part of his having a mistress wasn't a deal breaker, the inane statement about the mistress being his soul mate, but trying to fall back in love w/me---now THAT would put him out of the running FOREVER!!!! Now, if he THO'T that, that would be one thing, but to say that to all the public--humiliating and embarrassing--and he would be GONE!!! I'd probably even try to find a way he could never see the kids again, citing preventing them from being exposed to stupidity or something.

[Amy]

imo, this is why the divorce rate is so high. People are confused an think if they are not panting with lust, that the relationship is over. Cue the revolving door.

What deacon said. So well put. And, when did people come to the conclusion that marriage is supposed to be on long fun-filled, sex-filled experience? When did people forget that marriage is WORK. To forsake all others? Well, I guess I know the answer to that. Kind of started in the 60's with all the free love. And it didn't help when we went into Me Me Me mode--teaching kids that they matter more than anyone else in the world, they don't have to consider anyone else's feelings. Of course, this movement went way beyond the marriage vows to include not caring who you trampled on to get where you want to be. To include, lie, cheat, steal to get where you want to be.

The Gov's biggest sin IMO is hypocrisy. He should step down before all those glass houses shatter and mess up the White House. :patriot:

Nawny's two cents.:(

That is what they are trying to do is make him resign. Sounds like they are putting the casey syndrome on him. This will only get worse.

[deacon]

I agree, and I think this guy should go quietly back to the farm or maybe Argentina, whatever. ;) I get mad when flipping the news channel and God forbid, somehow I got stuck on cnbc or msnbc and this jerk was comparing the Honorable Governor Sara Palin to "Guvnah" Sanford. How on earth could the 2 compare?? I really don't think Sarah Palin has tried to tell anyone to live a righteous life and then pull such a stunt. :cuss:

That is what most people here are soooo upset about. He ran a compaign on moral values and called for clinton's resignation and then does this and refuses to resign. He has lost all creditability with the people here.

[deacon]

Geesh!!! "A rambing press conference" is a mild statement. I was listening to I think Hannity, and I tho't we were listening to a statement or two of his pc, thinking it would surely be short, sweet, and to the point. NOT!!!! I finally turned the dial, and about 10 minutes later, went back and he was STILL on, saying pretty much a lot of nothing.

If I was his wife, and the part of his having a mistress wasn't a deal breaker, the inane statement about the mistress being his soul mate, but trying to fall back in love w/me---now THAT would put him out of the running FOREVER!!!! Now, if he THO'T that, that would be one thing, but to say that to all the public--humiliating and embarrassing--and he would be GONE!!! I'd probably even try to find a way he could never see the kids again, citing preventing them from being exposed to stupidity or something.

And ya can't fix stupid.:no:

[deacon]

What deacon said. So well put. And, when did people come to the conclusion that marriage is supposed to be on long fun-filled, sex-filled experience? When did people forget that marriage is WORK. To forsake all others? Well, I guess I know the answer to that. Kind of started in the 60's with all the free love. And it didn't help when we went into Me Me Me mode--teaching kids that they matter more than anyone else in the world, they don't have to consider anyone else's feelings. Of course, this movement went way beyond the marriage vows to include not caring who you trampled on to get where you want to be. To include, lie, cheat, steal to get where you want to be.

It started longggggggg before then. That was just when it became public. Before it was all done in private and they killed the witnesses.

He has lost all creditability with the people here.Yes that is very hypocritical. He should definitely resign. I am reading the comments in some articles where some are saying "but this should be a private matter", but in my opinion, if the dude can't be trusted at home, he can't be trusted to run a state. I do believe he probably used taxpayer money for some of these little junkets. I haven't heard much about Governor Sanford til we moved here 2 1/2 years ago from the next state over, Ga. jmo :patriot:

Private matter? Like Governor Palin's knocked up daughter, when mommy was claiming moral superiority because of her own postions on abstinence only sex education?

It made me wonder what the campaign would have been like had Clinton been nominated. Mommy of brilliant scholar vs mommy of high school drop out (and preggie at that). :shrug:

What people do not understand is once you attain that level in politics there is no private life. Zip, zilch, nada. You are a public official emphasis on public. He has left the govenor's residence 48 times in the last year without proper security coverage. Hmmmm, I wonder why. Remember the statements about "other women?":eek: We really don't know how many. I have to agree with the people who speculate that he may not be mentally stable.

I am about to go home for the 4th. We are going to see my son and just vegetate. (All except for multiple malls and the most important place of all, The Bass Pro Shop)

Oh, the Las Vegas strip. Man, I gotta get some of that cawfeeee in me. I kept reading that, thinking WHO did the strip, as in strip tease!!! Sounds like you all packed a lot of action into your trip.

No stippin on our part LOL-no it's just getting sleazy down in the good parts. Mexicans stand on the corner and flip cards at you-no matter age or sex. Prostitution.

[SaraSidle]

Think cabbage! :hat: I have to make two deep trays of Stuffed Cabbage for the 4th. I remember when I first saw stuffed cabbage. I decided to guess what was in those luscious rolls. I put together ground beef, garlic, Romano cheese, eggs, oregano, and rice. I rolled those buntings so lovingly, baked them with tomato sauce and served it to my Polish friend. She politely said, Hmmm I never had cabbage stuffed with meatballs. :o

One Saturday afternoon, she showed up at my house with a half dozen cabbages and the main ingredients for the stuffed cabbage and taught me very well how to make it.
I never forgot it. LOL!!!


You are right. I do feel more like cabbage. It sounds wonderful. Nawny you should write cookbooks or start a cooking show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sara

Well, Bristol Palin did get her diploma, so good for her on that count...and non-abstinence birth control also fails, since it also depends on the kids using it, and lots of the time, they can't even remember to feed the cat.

But I do wish Clinton would have been the nominee on the Demo side. I didn't think so during the campaign, but realized it toward the end, and certainly now...

WOW! Did anyone see the live video of MJ dancing, rehearsing, on CNN? He sure didn't look like someone who was about to die a day or two later! Kismet comes when ever it wants huh? Incredible.

And fried cabbage with the garlic and olive oil, you KNOW Gator! But lettuce is so good too!

You are right. I do feel more like cabbage. It sounds wonderful. Nawny you should write cookbooks or start a cooking show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sara

LOL!!! Stuffed cabbage has to be my favorite. I never saw the things in my life until I married a Polish boy. It's so easy to make and so good.

I thought I'd faint when I found out there is catsup and Campbell's tomato soup in the mix. Gawd forbid! But that's what makes them so good. You mix white rice, ground pork, chopped onions, catsup, tomato soup and pepper. No salt, as the Campbell's soup has enough of that. After they're all rolled and placed in a casserole dish, take a can of campbell's tomato soup and a can of water, mix, and pour it over them and bake for an hour. I could eat 10 of them. They're like potato chips.

[BeastofBears]

Sure did. I didn;t expect that after everyone talking about him being "lethargic" at rehearsals. Maybe that was lethargic for him? I dunno. but he sure didn't look like someone who was about to die. Maybe he was taking uppers to perform and needed downers to sleep? This will be worse than Anna Nicole, imo...

I don't envy the kids: caught between a bio-mother who seems to have sold them to a possible pedophile, and a family they are not bio-related to but knows them, and then the wild card of heinous Joe in the mix...yikes.

Where did everyone go? One might think we have lives or something. C'mon we cant let C down :D

[applesandorange]

I wanted to let you all know what's going on in my neck of the woods.

We are moving to the town I group up in and graduated from. I know I don't write much on here anymore mostly due to there not being anything new to discuss but I won't even be able to read for a little while we move. We move in August 1st.

How this all cam about: My oldest son got an invitation to wrestle at my old towns wrestling camp this summer. The coach was so adament about him wrestling that he called me personally and offered to give us a 50% discount if I would let my son wrestle for them. I agreed so we started making the 45 minute drive every Monday and Wednesday to wrestling. The coaches have taken a great liking to my son and have offered him a position on their team for the wrestling season. My husband has been given the webmaster position, asked to be a coach and made part of the board. So we are moving back. This is a wonderful opportunity for both my husband and son. I'm very happy and excited to show my kids my old stomping grounds.

I have been able to sign my son up for football and my daughter for cheerleading today which takes a load off of me because they would have both been not so happy if they couldn't do football this year.

The house we are getting is just PERFECT for us. It is a 4 bedroom farm house that was built in the 1700's. I LOVE the old country houses with all the charm. There is about 2.5 acres of land for the kids to play on. And it's in our price range. We went and put down the money for it yesterday. The papers will be drawn up next week. I hope I get them by Thursday because Thursday is when I have to go to the district office and fill out all the paperwork to switch my kids' school. They need proof of residency.

I have soooo much to do and it seems like not a lot of time to do it but I am trecking along. I have almost the entire house packed up already. I have everything set up for the kids' sports, and I have the appointment to switch schools. I still have tons to do but I'm making progress.

I am begining to feel old because this new school district has 5th grade in the middle school. So instead of having a 5th grader I have a middle school student! CRAZY!!!!

I hope you are all well and I miss talking to you guys. I've just been super busy.

That is terrific A&O what an opportunity for all. We will be here waiting when ya get settled. :beer:

LoL about the goats! Not a bad idea! Our riding mower has a flat tire so I know we'll need to do something to get that grass mowed. (probably get a new tire though ; )) I am happy! I'm sooooo happy! All my friends live there. Im going to have friends again! Can you imagine? REAL friends lol. Everything is just falling together so nicely now. The first part of this year was rough but it seems to be turning around. I hope I didn't jinx myself by writing that. Where we live now is just so different. I try to teach my kids my morals and values but it seems like everyone around here is totally opposite. I'm glad we are moving back to a palce where my kids will learn what's really important in life. To be good people. My son's wrestling coach gave a speech the first night after practice. He told all the boys that he doesn't care if their records are 0-33 as long as they are good respectable people in school and respect their parents at home, they are good people and when they walk into that wrestling room they are good people. He said their wrestling record doesn't prove their self worth. I thought to myself that's what we've been missing! Nobody around here is like that. Makes you wonder why around here they only have 1 state champ and the place we're moving has 18! It's because the coaches give the boys the self esteem to WANT to do good! Anyway it's going to be good to move back.

[SaraSidle]

Oh, you mock but you know you want it! :D

We were supposed to go camping but I have a cold and DH has a sore back. So we are going to sit around and barbecue and eat and sleep and check out the fireworks. I would have liked to go up north. It is only an hour away and by an excellent lake with a lot of trees. we might not have found a spot anyways. At least we will not have any rain this weekend. Have you recovered from your vacation?

Wonderful news! I did that too. Married and lived in a city 2 hours away from my own stomping grounds and moved back 14 years later. It was better. I felt more orientated and my children went to all the same schools I did. :) The old middle school looked so small to me when they went there. lol! I'm quite the gypsy, just say HOUSE to me and I'm ready to move. Poppa is pretty adamant about this old house though... so I'll have to do some fancy foot work to get him out of this one!

Your new home sounds great. I love those old houses too. Bless you, I know you'll manage to get everything packed and organised. Women always do :) You're doing a good thing for the kids. :beer:

The meatballs and stuffed cabbage are done, now I have only to prepare the pink sauce for the gnocchi and the humus and tabouli salad. It starts at 2:00 tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain. Today it was a beautiful day and I went to the store and suddenly,, BOOOM! It poured! This is getting scary now.

I hope you have cable. I have used phone line and cable and I love cable.
We had all the movie channels for free for a year. Now we are paying and I am cancelling. wow what a diff on the bill. Anyways put it on your list if you have one cause you have to be able to talk to us!!! sara


I know! I LOVE cable too! I just don't know if that road has cable at all. It's really in the middle of nowhere. Lots and lots of corn fields. We have Comcast now. It would be easy to just switch it over. If I keep forgetting hubby will remember. He's the computer guy and he hosts web sites so we HAVE to have internet. I just hope it doesn't take too long to get it.

Groan... Stay home and take care of your children Palin! You have enough to do, though working in the white house maybe easier. Michael jackson just taught us where fame and fortune getcha. Maybe you should consider buying more eyeglasses? Gosh I don't think 10 or 20 pair will be enough for you.

:chicken:

Wonderful news! I did that too. Married and lived in a city 2 hours away from my own stomping grounds and moved back 14 years later. It was better. I felt more orientated and my children went to all the same schools I did. :) The old middle school looked so small to me when they went there. lol! I'm quite the gypsy, just say HOUSE to me and I'm ready to move. Poppa is pretty adamant about this old house though... so I'll have to do some fancy foot work to get him out of this one!

Your new home sounds great. I love those old houses too. Bless you, I know you'll manage to get everything packed and organised. Women always do :) You're doing a good thing for the kids. :beer:


It's always good to be back in a familiar place. Right now we live in the country too. People are just a different breed around here. They think half *****ed backwards here. They are all about the win. All about making the kids grow up way too fast. All about themselves. I can't stand it.

I'm taking the day off today and doing nuthin! I ran outta boxes so I have to wait till I can get some. I'm just playing on the computer and relaxing. Tonight I have to load the van with more boxes to take to my parents. I figure the more I get out of here now, the less I will have on moving day. I would LOVE to just have the furniture on moving day. I'll get everything done. You're right, we always do! :beer:

Happy 4th of July weekend all-from the Canuck :seeya: What cha all doin?

Awww, I forgot to wish you a happy Canada Day this week!

We can't go to Sonoma this year, so we are going to barbeque, blast patriotic music in the backyard, then hose the roof down and watch the illegal fireworks light up the northern sky. I sense a LOT of our neighbors have been making the drive to the explosive factories on the Indian reservations! Hence the roof hosing. Oh, and keeping the dog calm. He's losing it from the m80's people are already setting off.

But...the baby's helmet is OFF!!!! yeeeeehaaaaw!

[BeastofBears]

Well I want to let Bob know I appreciate the gift.............you know. :rolleyes: sara

It'll have to come from my bff, sadly. Her distant cousins are visiting from the Philippines, so OF COURSE they have to go to Disneyland on Tuesday, and she was unwillingly named the concierge for THAT fiasco...so they will be driving right through the funeral and the ensuing chaos. I am the newshound, so she is checking with me on venue updates to map a plan around the mess...so while she is the concierge, I am now the event coordinator. I suppose I should be grateful to be needed.

If she really did quit because her children needed her, then good for her and I respect that. But if she quit so that she can coordinate a run for president...I can't respect that. She ran for governor and was elected, that is a commitment. You finish what you start, imo.

So I withhold judgment on it until I see what she does. Not that I am losing sleep either way, of course. My mom hates her and gets all agitated over her. I don't know why one should spend such energy, but :shrug: meh

Make sure she has a video camera in case they get lost. However I am sure that will not happen with you as coordinator..........:beer:

I don't like Palin either. I think she's a super opportunist. But hey, what politician isn't? Someone ought to tell her, she has little kids, one very needy and she should know you can't jump half way off a bridge. If she's running for prez, she won't make it. The world isn't ready for a president that is in mid air. Raising children is a full time job. If her kids live with a nurse, she'll die with one. They won't be there. IMO.


Congrats to your little doll who graduated from helmet school today! I think abou ther all the time. The little worrior did a good job! Little ones have more guts than we do. ;)

ROTFLMHO!!! You got it!!!!! I knew you'd get it. Wish you were here tomorrow. You would so enjoy it. The part I don't like is the fireworks. I leave at dusk.

LOL!! It's been raining almost non stop since May Sara! This is very strange. At this time of year it should be very hot with temps in the high 70's and 80's. I don't understand this weather. The East coast is a mess of overgrown foliage and my squirrels are really wearing life jackets. My grass just got cut last week and it's overgrown already.

Yesterday I began to worry about those who work outdoors like, landscapers, painters, contractors. I actually said a prayer for them. Today it was such a tease because the sun was blaring and everything dried. By noon, the thunder and lightening started and there was a torrential downpour. It's still raining in RI. The mosquito population is going to be horrendous tomorrow if it doesn't' train. I'm going to bring the OFF with me to the outing.

Do you live in NE Sara?

The local news here is running an "expose" on the horrors of childhood ptsd caused by fireworks...I am seriously not talking about blowing fingers off, but a boy saying "I was really scared, I've had nightmares all year." Next thing you know, fireworks will be banned "for the children"...

Aww, I know! There is one weeble who worries about the fireworks. She is 4 years old. The other day she said, "Nawny do you have some earplugs I can use for the fireworks party? I don't like those fireworks nawn." I felt so bad. So I'm bringing her the earplugs today. :(

[Marian Paroo]

I've known littlies who are scared terrible by fireworks.

All we need are parents that are smart enough and caring enough not take their kids to see fireworks, even if means giving up something that they, the parents like.

End of problem.

[samanthajane13]

The fireworks started already in my neighborhood.

The idiots kitty-corner and across the street were aiming them right for the front of my house, and my dogs were beside themselves with terror.

I had them both in bed with me, in my arms under the covers, and I thought the were going to shake the bed frame apart.

The cops here are useless when it comes to responding to fireworks calls.

Are they worried they might be accused of being un-American? :patriot:

[samanthajane13]

No-I think they're worried that they'll miss their donuts and naps.

[Nawny]

Palin is yaking again. According to day's news, her rep is saying she's quitting because she's been targeted, and claims the governor was forced to backtrack on her decision to reject federal stimulus funds, her pick for attorney general was rejected by an increasingly hostile legislature, and her personal life has continued to grab headlines.

I doubt she is going to run for prez. She can't take the heat as Gov, so what would happen if she became president? She might quit her job and leave America in the lurch! And more than that, she messed things up for a female who is competent enough to be the president because all the big boys will suspect women of doing a bailing out under emotional pressure. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-angry016.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

Ahem..... does she really think they will get off her case now that she's stepping down? They will find her lover, watch! He's in there somewhere!

That's indeed true MP but they hear the fireworks all over the neighborhoods. Poor kids :(

Oh they do donuts and naps in your world too Sammy? They're too lazy to make reports too. Fireworks are big business. I've known cops who confiscate the fireworks and then set them off on their own property. Basturds. :(

Somebody needs to smear a big old ball-gag with Gorilla Glue and shove it in her mouth.

Everytime she opens up, BS pours out...talking out her azz.

Same goes for all the Antonys.

Of course the balls would have to be MUCH BIGGER for all of them.

Right. Didn't think of that. Here they start on Indepence Day (Israel Indpendence Day) Eve and go on to the next evening.

Not a cop story, but a letter-carrier story. Back during the '73 War, my future SO and subsequent ex was doing volunteer work at the postal sorting station, as most of the men aged 18-55 were somewhere in the war. She caught a couple of really old guys (I mean who else was left?) on tea break reading really hard core porn. She called them on it, and they decided to let her in on the secret -- they showed her what the called The Lost Ark, where all the mail that couldn't be delivered by law because of pornographic or political context was put. I don't think they bothered too much with the political stuff, but they sure had a good time with the porn...

Back when my big one was the only one we went to Disney and he, out of nowhere, decided that the fireworks were terrifying, back when he was 2. He'd always loved them, but he picked Disneyland to decide they were a bad thing. Awe-inspiring timing...but I am bringing earplugs this time, just in case...

This is one of the most mystifying moves ever. I listened to her statement, and frankly, I am waiting for the real reason, know what I mean? (Hey Zingo, you out there? You got a theory?)

She might just have ADD. Didn't she go to something like 5 universities as an undergrad? I really don't get it. Why? If this was done to enable a run for president, epic fail! Not the way to do it, imo...

I'm not a Palin fan, nor a Palin hater.

But I do find it interesting that there is more enthusiasm for shutting her up with a ball gag than, say, Sanford or one of the bigger idiots out there. Is it more okay to shut a woman up? It feels like there's a different tenor in the criticisms of her than a male politician...just sayin'...
