Pretty gross!
DD had a birthday yesterday...she is now 30! I'm feeling my age today.
Maybe I should of posted this on the "desperately seeking encouragement" thread or It could just be the Tae Bo making me feel this way!
Happy birthday to her! Consider yourself lucky to have had the kids early!
I'm so grateful my mom didn't have me early or I'd be a lot older!
Too funny Pirl! Nichole is now 30, im almost 48, I was really young when I had her but I did a good job. Even if I say so myself!!!
My mom was almost 43 when I was born. She was just the best and I still miss her so very much.
My Mom was almost 41 when I was born, and I miss her and Dad very much!
Of course, I miss my dad very much, too, but I had him 9 years longer than my mom.
I never feel my kids can possibly miss me as I miss my parents. Does everyone feel that way?
I think so, but I have already been around longer for my kids than my parents were for me. That is one of the reason I had them all so quickly. 1st one is 1978, #2 in 1979, 3 in 1980 4 in 1982 and #5 in 1987 . I was an "orphan" by the age of 31, wasn't going to let that happen with my kids!
I was 30 when my mom died. Sad that none of us have any guarantees. A friend died at 24 and left two little girls that would never get the chance to know her.
That's so sad when parents die young. My mom never knew her dad. Celeste was busy in the 80's!
Yes I was, and in the 90's too trying to keep them all in order!!
With five and only two hands, I now know why you had to do splits!
My father's father died in his twenties when my dad was 3 months old.
I'm always amazed at the people who never think of their parents and so glad to miss the ones I loved. One boss told me he never liked his mother and never missed her at all. How sad!
Splits, round-offs, back flips, super sonic hearing, eyes in the back of my head and one heck of a runner!!
Pirl, that IS extremely sad!
At least we're not talking about death on Victor's birthday thread again!
I think I'll go try to attack the compost after the temperature gets up to 35 - might be noon by then.
I had my son going for years, believing that I truly had eyes in the back of my head. Really, I just had mirrors strategically placed around the house so that I could see what he was doing even if I was around the corner. He never guessed!!
You really need them now that he's close to the teen years! GPS is even better.
Ta da! The asparagus now have their compost.
Looks good Pirl! You have been busy(pout) my only outside work is shoveling.
Thanks. I also cut down the clematises on the copper trellis and found there are two more there - Miss Bateman and another Ernest Markham.
Nice find!!!!
Yes! I even gave the area with the clem's a barrel of compost, not that they need more!
Great Pirl!
Not to sound whiney but "I WANNA DIG!" (in the dirt...do not say dig in the snow!!)
Visit DD in FL!
Thought about it...she has BF buddies there this week and her BF is arriving Friday. She has a full house right now and DH can not travel. I can't leave him here either, but I thought about it! (evil grin here)
Is BF okay with the BF buddies being with DD before BF gets there?
Hee hee hee! Yes
I wanna dig too! Between this thread and the Visions of Spring '08 thread, I'm pining. Maybe I'll pot up one of my houseplants.
Victor, say that three times fast!
I can't say it once!
Saw a report the other day that well over 1/2 of all adults report cheating on their partners. Was almost 2/3 for men and in the mid 50's % for women. Though nothing really shocks me anymore, I found that pretty amazing. I guess it's no wonder the divorce rate is about 50% too. Just like to think that all the cheaters are cheating with each other, as opposed to with single people. At least that would keep the numbers down a bit. Guess I'm not a typical American male.
Those statistics are a shame. My family always thought I was the "weird" one because I stayed married. My two sis's divorced before 10 years of marriage. A brother is on his third wife - cheated on the first two, but this one's a keeper. Second bro is 48, never married. Third bro is 43, just got married this summer.
Wow - lots of siblings!
Wow, 2/3 for men is astounding. I didn't think that 2/3 of the men I know would bother getting off the couch to find the 50% of the women who are feeling frisky. I am always too tired from the gardening to even think about expending energy on some random vice. But I should know this is all possible, because I know too many people who have run off with someones spouse or partner seemingly out of the blue. Where do they find the time and place to have these illicit meetings?
So I think it is sweet to know that Victor is in the bottom third and not typical. I would like to know what the divorce rate is as caused by reasons other than unfaithfulness. My first marriage had to do with just a change in desires about life in general, not carnal ones. He didn't garden or even want a permanent home. Plus he wanted to stand on his head (really) and have me work so he could read when he wasn't doing his yoga. His second wife has taken nearly 30 years to figure out that he isn't so great. I was a much quicker study. My DH now is a gem. Truly. Plus he gardens. Patti
Good for you Victor!!!!!! Good for you on your second DH Patti. I messed up with my first. Hoping the second will truly be permanent... If there will be a second.
Sofonisba, I don't look at my first marriage as a mistake. Rather it was a transition from one place in my life to a better place. You will go there too, if you want, marriage or not. But I guess Victor won't be up for grabs. He is a good guy. Patti
