Pull Up a Chair XXI

Ya'll have been warned. That's all I can say. The movie is very funny but...the one part had me jumping out of my seat and covering my eyes. I ain't no prude but this was way more than I've ever seen. If you do watch it, after the movie watch the 'Footages Removed from Moviefilm by Decree Kazakh Ministry of Censorship'. All I can do is shake my head.

Were any animals hurt?

Mahnot....what is this for? I'm not understanding what we're supposed to do other than combine colors.

Nope.

Was it sxxual?

Well, I'll be sure to watch the edited parts, LOL.

What I'm trying to do is figure out if the colors can be
arranged into any kind of differnt pattern - more broken up
and not in such big globs.

Ceejay, I'm lactose intolerant and get really really sick if I eat
something super sweet. I can eat a whole Hershey's milk chocolate
bar, but only a about 2 squares of the dark chocolate - which I prefer.
Don't it figure ?

Nope. But there was nekiddness.

Are you going to do something in particular with the color arrangements when you figure it out?

Think I'm gonna turn in early tonight. I ran a ton of errands
today and think I overdid it. Sheesh - I still feel 45 inside, but
my body says "Lady, are you nuts? Who you kiddin? You're l02 !"
AARGH.

Oh, gee - Walnut Creek, Calif., is banning the Easter Bunny.
Give me a break. They'll probably put out an arrest warrant for
the Tooth Fairy next. AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Nope, Kristi - I just thought it was an interesting tool.

Maybe it's not that good.

M - Lactose is a milk sugar. So I would think if that was the problem the milk chocolate would cause you more problems than the dark chocolate. I still think it's the Mogen David.

Nah, Ceejay, not a chance. I 've got to find a decent doctor
for myself down here. I don't have one and don't want to be
wheeled in and have some fool be assigned to me one day.
Why do I have to think about these things anyways? I used to
say that if I ever got to be 30, I would shoot myself. IDIOT !!!

You know, that's odd. I'm lactose intolerant and so are two of
my fair haired kids. My husband wasn't, and neither are the
2 dark haired kids. Are fair people more apt to have this problem,
I wonder?

Sheesh, the news just said that some woman's ex-husband
flew his private plane into her house. Just where are you safe now?

Banning the Easter Bunny? What kind of tyrants would do such a thing? A warrant for the tooth fairy? OMG - HIDE ME! Quick!

LOL, I always suspected it was you, knolan.
Think I'll turn you in and collect the reward - in change,
of course. :o) What's the going rate for teeth these days
anyway?

You might be onto something there, Mahnot. My fair skin seems to cause me lot's of problems. For one, my eyebrows and eyelashes are blonde and you can't see them unless I put makeup on. I have no protection from the sun at all. I'm red all of the time, even in the winter. The Lupus, I think it's connected. My fair skinned aunts have Lupus, too. Not my brunettes. We're all the same. Skin cancer is prevalent (especially since we burned ourselves in the 70's trying to tan...not knowing it was harmful to us).

Five bucks for a molar! The TF is bankrupt! Turning me in won't help you one bit.

Hmmm, why were we so clucky anyways? I remember the
smell of all that suntan lotion. yuk. I never did lay out in the sun -
I'd burn and blister all over. Well, maybe it's not a bad thing after
all - I have hardly any wrinkles now. :o)

FIVE BUCKS for a molar ? Surely, you jest ! WOW !!!!!!

Does Chapter 13 Bankruptcy extend to the Tooth Fairy?
Oh, the poor dear. She's probably in rags these days. Those greedy,
greedy modern kids !

Lucky you! I grew up going to the beach every weekend and getting sunburned. I have premature wrinkles...I call them laugh lines. But now? I'm pig belly white. I cover up all of the time and use a moisturizer with sun screen. I'm not taking any more chances. I'm not supposed to be in the sun at all but who can resist on the beautiful days like today? And I can't limit myself to the indoors. I have to be outside. I'd go nuts if I couldn't sit out in the morning with the horses and coffee. That's the start of a beautiful day.

Yup....$5 bucks. Mom, I mean the TF, usually doesn't have $1 bills in her wallet. I clean out my wallet every other day and $1 or less goes into my 'savings account' that no one sees. I call it my mad money.

Actually, I got busted last year. R has the loft bed and I have to climb the ladder to get up there. She heard my footsteps squeaking up and right as I slipped the $$ under the pillow she said, "Gotcha!". She talked about it for a week. What about the Easter Bunny? What about Santa? Why do adults lie to their kids about these things? I just explained that it's part of the awe and imagination of childhood. All with a lot of love mixed in.

Yeah, I like to be outdoors too, but I try to stay in the shade
as much as possible, or else I go out either early or when
the sun dips down below the tall trees.

Well, I'm gonna go to bed. Can't keep my eyes open.
Besides, I'm totally disillusioned now. John Robbins, of Baskin-Robbins
Ice Cream, is on the radio talking about how he has become
a health food addict. Great, after they got all our kidsand grandkids hooked.
There ain't no justice. "As parents, we
ought to make sure our kids don't eat too much junk food........
too much butter fat isn't good......etc...." Yeah - right, John. That's why there's
ICE CREAM CAKE in the store !
His father founded Baskin-Robbins, and he also changed to the
healthy eating method late in life...... you can't trust anybody. Geez.

Good night, everyone. Sweet dreams.

Hope Bama is getting a good night's sleep, now that her sis is there.

Had to edit the post above. Heard the name wrong before.

Yeah, knolan, it's a sad day when they don't believe in fairytales
any longer. Oh, well. I still believe. I always told them they could
believe or not - it's their choice, but I wasn't taking any chances and
I choose to believe. After all, you know how easy it is to get your name
scratched off the list.

Ciao for now. I'm going.

Goodnight, Mahnot. Sweet Dreams. Don't let the bed bugs bite and all of that.

In case you have not heard, Bama has posted that her
darling David returned to his Heavenly Father at 4 AM
this morning. Her sister, Rylaff, and her son, Bear, were
with her. He is now at peace and free from pain.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Marcie and Bear))))))))))))))))))))))))

I hope this llnk works. Very sad news from Bama. If it doesn't work, it's in the Pets forum, under Huck and Souky get a visit from the postal fish. http://davesgarden.com/forums/p.php?pid=3256994

Thanks, Meezers.

My prayers are with Bama and Bear. David is no longer suffering.

I'm so sorry Bama.

Bama so very sorry.. prayers for you and Bear and his family.

This is a very sad day for Bama and all of us who care for her. Bama, please know that you're in all of our hearts tonight and we are praying for you.

I just signed on to see if there is news. It is a sad day
and I can't stop thinking of Bama and David and Bear, and
also of David's elderly mom. She is probably on the road at
this very minute on her way to Alabama. God comfort them all.

Hope everyone is well and safe this night. Ciao for now.
See you all tomorrow.

(((((((((Bama))))))))

David's mother and sister got into the area lst night. It ws too late to visit the funeral home, but I will meet them there this morning. My family is taking care of lunches for the next two days and t will be htefirst time the two families meet. Ought to be interesting. (wry grin)

Yesterday was very difficult, but with the help of my family, I was able to get through it and attend to the stuff that had to be done. Tons more stuff to do today. Too bad they don't make water[roff makeup I have mascara that won't run, but nothing for foundation that won't smear or rub off on hankies. Someday, some genius will come up with a line of makeup for events like ths and make a mint.

Rylaff was really an angel. She came up yesterday and helped us through the difficult night. Then yesterday handled things for me at home, while I attended to the services, etc..and she also cleaned the house and made sure the medical equipment folks came out quickly and removed all the stuff so I wouldn't have the reminder every time I walked into the room. Smart lady. My other sis couldn't come down till otnight, but offered to take care of the flowers and pay for them. That helped a lot, too.

Some of my neighbors came by and brought food (this is the south, you always bring food), the funeral home sent a big meat and cheese tray (blew my sister's mind becuase we have used the same funeral home 4 times and they have never done that before....plus, they had to drive 45 minutes each way just to bring it.) Anita sent the most beautiful bouquet...which also blew Rylaff's mind. Had to put them on top of the 'army-war' in the bedroom to keep the cats from knocking it over and eating all the flowers, though...LOL! Caught Lucy Furr trying to eat them this morning...so up they went.

My cousin and Aunt came out yesterday and brought lunch and went over plans for the service with me and added some suggestions and they and Rylaff attended to making changes to the intenerary for me, as well as notifying people of the changes. When I tried to kind of hem and haw abut a weddign coming up in a couple of months, they decided for me that I would go down with them and we would stay a day or so at the beach. They know I can't say no to a trip to the beach. They will do their dardest to make sure I don't slip through the cracks and let myself become a depressed, lonely hermit with 100 cats. My aunt was widowed when she was just a few years older than I am and has never remarried...I suspect we will spenda lot of time together. She loves to go out to eat, etc...and she always takes someone with her, so I suspect she will be making me keep it together over the next months, or years.

I've got friends and family coming in from all over to attend the service. And, I contacted all of David's local business contacts and friends, so I hope that some of them will come. I don't expect a huge showling...he was a very private man. But I would like a respectable number of people to come....just because someone as special as he is deserves a decent send off....and also to show his family how much he was loved and respected down here.

Well, that is it for now. Gotta start pulling myself together and face this day.

Bama, I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. Nor do I have any words of comfort that would truly help. I hope you know how much we all care and that we are just aching for you. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers as you make it through this day.

Thinking of you Bama and sending some strength vibes to help you get through the days ahead. I'm glad you have so many people that love you and can help you with everything.

(((((((Bama)))))))

It is a great comfort to us to know that you have your family there to help you through the difficult days ahead, and that they will not let you descend into the slough of despair. We are with you, in our hearts, and only wish we could be closer.

Amen to all of the above. My heart is breaking for you, but you have proved yourself to be a strong person and with the help of your family and friends, you will be OK. And your DG friends, who love you, are grateful for them. Warm hugs, Bama.

Marcie, we all seem to share the same sentiments here
and I too am glad you have such a wonderful family around
you this day, and in the days to come. It is also a blessing
for Bear to see what real family is all about.

Hugs and prayers for you and Bear and David's mom as you
all struggle through this long day. God bless you.

Marcie...your faith, family, and friends will help you through this. And you'll probably find reserves of strength you didn't realize you had.

((((((((((Bama))))))))))

If I could be there I would. I am so sorry!

Love, Sally

Marcie - I was trying to go to sleep and kept thinking of you. I just wanted to say how much we all love you and wish we could make the rough road ahead easier for you. Your family is with you now. We'll be with you also, in heart, mind and spirit.

You're an inspiration......a very strong woman.

Love,
Kristi
