    What started to be a sad Halloween

    in Internet Cafe

    Posted

    I know it's rough when your family is spread out as the kids get older, but think of times like this as opportunities.

     

    I rarely got to be with just one of my boys and have some special time. When I did, we would call it a "date" and do something that we might not do if all of us were there.

     

    Those were really fun times, as I look back.

    If you want

    If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him

    and never say its not quite as good as his mothers

     

    then adopt a dog.

     

    If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour,

    for as long and wherever you want ...

     

    then adopt a dog.

     

    If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care

    about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies

     

    then adopt a dog.

     

    If you want someone who is content to get on your bed just to

    warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores

     

    then adopt a dog !

     

    If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care

    if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if

    every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves

    you unconditionally, perpetually ..

     

    then adopt a dog.

     

    BUT, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come

    when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair

    all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only

    comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence

    is solely to ensure his happiness .,

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    then adopt a cat!

     

    Now be honest, you thought I was gonna say... marry a man, didn't you?

     

    Send this to all the women you know to brighten their day.

    Send this to all the men just to annoy them!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You...

     

    ....have a GREAT Day

    In and out of Yorkville FD in less than 10 minutes!!! I drove by the New Georgia Library on my way to and from Yorkville and the lines were long. No line at the FD. They have chairs for you to sit in while you fill out your information. I feel so much better now that it's over with. It was well worth the drive.

     

     

    Same here! It was a nice drive and beats spending the time standing in line!

    I just turned on my Heat... How Bout You?

    Nope no heat here... bedroom window raised and fan on LOl and I am running around in shorts and t shirt LOL

     

     

    We would be doing the same, especially my son, but my Mom lives with us. She's ninety and thinks it's winter already!

     

    We've had the heat on at night and the AC at times during the day. Mom and I have been drinking our coffee in front of the fire in the morning for the last week. She loves the fire and I can take it for a while.

     

    I love winter!!!

    Free crafty patterns...

    I don't knit and don't crochet much since I'm a lefty but I subscribe to a newsletter. It's CRAFTSTYLISH and this most recent one had a pattern for a knitted prayer shawl in pink for breast cancer patients. I'm sure that crocheters could figure out how to make them, too. The idea is that a prayer for the recipient goes in with every stitch. I wish I could figure out how to sew one that would fit well.

    Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://craftstylish.com/item/11354/make-it...er-prayer-shawl

    My Mom's name is Sarah. Until last year, when I had a student named Sarah, I really hadn't realized how my Dad pronounced her name. I called my student Say-rah and her mouth dropped open. It was a total flashback to my dad because everyone here pronounces it Sera.

     

    By the way, my name is Carolyn and I've known other people who spell their Carolyn with -ine. Go figure.

    If it makes little difference to you whether you have her and your children back or a roommate, I'd say you're in a lot of trouble. I doubt if she will perceive any sincerity coming from you. Do you want her back or is she just a roommate? If you want her back, shape up.

     

    You haven't complained about what SHE does, just what you're doing. Don't sweat the small stuff, dude. If you don't love her, let her go.

    Most southerners say "pin" for "pen" just like we say "dawg" instead of "dahg." BUT, children in school need to know that it is pronounced differently because of the standardized testing. They won't always take a Georgia test and these issues have come up in the past.

     

    BTW, Merriam-Webster's site is excellent for pronunciation.
