Gipper Girl Rocks

Yep, tis true! I use the one I got in Paulding WAY down here in Lowndes County(Valdosta). I was pleasantly surprised by that!

I miss her around here. I still use her soaps and other goodies religiously. Hate to think of a day without my Hempy Hippie soap...Mmmmmmmmmmm! happy birthday, Soapmom!

I always remember thats your drink of choice, Postman, and think of you whenever I see a bottle... . I have to have a girlier drink though...like wine or vodka:). I do love some beer though.

You aint kidding! I do love camillias and my house already had a few that are healthy and beautiful. I need more of them. I think I have St Augustine grass. I'll have to find out before fall for sure. We've had so much going on that I'm not even sure. We are about to make a faux river bed in the front yard where grass is NEVER gonna grow. I want to find some evergreens and some creeping plants to plant in and around it. I have 3 azaleas too but they need to be moved and I'm not even sure how and when to do that . I was never a big azalea fan but they do grow easily here and mine were really

I considered myself a real green thumb up there in the metro Atl with you all. I could grow anything and had years under my belt of doing so. I had a garden people got MARRIED in. Now, in my first full spring in Valdosta, I am killing EVERYTHING! It's pathetic . I even killed my herb garden THAT GETS FULL SUN!!!! What the ???? The sun here is just simply relentless' even in April. "Full sun" plants don't REALLY mean FULL sun here, I have found out the hard way. I have joined a garden club that does all the groundskeeping and gardening for the Crescent House- a historic Valdosta land

I have been really surprised, and pleasantly, I might add. As I've been out and about with a brand new baby, it has been really interesting to see how differently people react as opposed to how they reacted when I was 20 with a new baby boy. I'm 39 and not 20-ANYTHING. I havent had ANY "friendly advice" at all and I was prepared to do the "oh, really? thank you", then go home and do what I wanted to do... .It was literally an every day occurance when I had my son 18 years ago. I guess now people just assume I'm a mother with a baby not a young, NEW mother with a new baby. It has been nic

I love Moscato and the blue bottle is one of my favorites, too. We get it at Sam's. We had a bottle of pink moscato last weekend to celebrate NO MORE PREGNANT FOR ME! It was yummy. I'm a bigger wine lover than he is. Will drinks "girly wines" only. He's totally okay with his masculinity- when we have monthly poker parties, I cook for everybody and bartend. All he drinks are wine spritzers(but a lot of them during the game). All the other men are downing beer and liquor and he's drinking moscato or pinot grigio with no sugar, no calories flavored seltzer. I think Barefoot is a good moscato

Crazy. Just think' people like that procreate and make other little people. If anything happened it would be bad but you have to wonder...thinning the herd?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .....LDS hasnt condoned that in decades and decades. Other offshoots and breakaway LDS sects(cults) do condone and practice polygamy but not the true Mormons/Latter Day Saints .

If Pinterest goes, I'm gonna need rehab.

True. My Grandmother DID live in Ohio and we lived in Marietta... . I'm sure that helped! My other Grandmother lived 3 houses from us but would rather die a slow death than to infringe on her children and their spouses so it worked beautifully. Funny this topic came up b/c I had to head off a "walk all over us/no respect" issue with a family member last night(at 11pm after a knowck on our door...with a new baby... ). I said only about 20 words, didnt raise my voice or curse just to the point and meant what I said. Will stood behind me and supported me by not talking( )and it is his side of

A direct and not-so-tackful person does not "get" dropped hints. They only get communication as direct as they are.

I agree. My dad had to talk to his Mother MANY years ago after she was rude to my Mother repeatedly. He had had enough and he is the most peaceful person I know. He confronted her, was direct, short and sweet. Didnt raise his voice, didnt curse or disrepect his Mother. He told her if she wanted them to visit and to see her grandchildren, she would treat his wife with respect and gave her a quick list of what that meant exactly. My Dad and I were just talking about this again this past weekend. It worked and she and my Mother were never anything less than friendly and really loved one another u

Kwood, congratulations ! I'm sorry I missed this thread. I havent been on very much and was still in the hospital when you had your baby. I've been thinking about you though. Did you name her "Ouch" ? I KNOW you are so happy NOT to be pregnant anymore and have that sweet baby in your arms. They are a lot more fun on the OUTSIDE. How are you feeling now almost a week later? I've never had a C-section and I keep hearing mixed reviews on the recovery. Everybodys different, of course. I hope you are feeling better everyday and are getting some rest of SOME sort.... .

Oh NO! Thank you! I looked but couldnt find it. Going to read now. Poor Kwood!

I was never a fan of his art but I did give my parents his memory books for grandparents. They spent a year filling in all the blanks, the questions and putting their life memories into words. Then, they gave them back to me to give to my son once he's old enough to really appreciate them. I cry like a baby everytime I open one up and read anything they wrote. They are definitely one of most treasured possessions. It is a great idea for relaying memories to the next generations.

I am so anti Roundup . I wouldnt touch a bottle of it with gloves on. The same company that makes it is also responsible for Agent Orange and other VERY toxic chemicals in everyday products now. They are not forthcoming at all about the potential health risks. People dont really know how dangerous they are. It took me really getting interested and researching to find out for myself. BTW, it has been proven that childhood leukemia is much higher in nicer more upscale neighborhoods. One of the key reasons that has been found is that people in these areas usually have lawn services that use

I havent been around as much lately and was looking around for any info on the other 2 recent Pcom Mommies. Anyone heard anything? I know Kwood was being induced the day after me unless something changed.

I still cant believe thow prefect she is. I had really tried to brace myself for just about anything after the pregnancy I had. I rarely even let myself think about it any other way. I cant beleive she's perfect and she's mine! And, like Postman said, Will claims her, too . She has turned him into complete mush. He was already sweet but now he's toally whipped . I cannot express how thankful I am for her and for Will. I give God all the glory and honor for it b/c without Him, none of this would have been.

Thank you! I forgot how much fun it is . We are loving every minute of it. Hope your family is doing great, too. Thank you. I just keep thinking of things to look forward to now that she's here....like shopping and getting our toes done together (spending Daddy's money ). They are such a cute couple. I know they are so happy and so are you with life in general these days. THESE are the good 'ol days... .

:clapping:

I love that. I have noticed for years now that men, like you, who have a lot of family that are women are more sensitive to the needs of THEIR wives. I know you have been through so much and have lost loves to death even more than once. Dont you love the fact though that love is so powerful it can bring anyone to their knees or make them soar above everything? It can do whatever is needed. I think you and I should write a book!......................

I'm with ya'll. The internet is just like dropping your kid off on Lucky Street in downtown Atl at 2am. I cant beleive parents let them have so much freedom there. My stepdaughter that is 8 has a membership on a game site that is supposed to be for girls...nothing wrong with the site. but, as I was talking to her about it, she told me she has a "friend" there that she talks to a LOT(daily almost)that she doesnt know. What?! I sent her Mother a message about it but never got any response. All I can do is continue to stick to our rules here and talk to both of them(2 step daughters)and hopefully

You always do! Nah, I've told him all sorts of good things about you. You know, the two of you would agree on so much...even politics. Makes for some lively conversations between the 2 of us here . He grew up EXTREMELY poor...no father figure and even lived in an orphanage and a car(as a child) for awhile. He has been very successful as an adult and a father and has a very personal take on the growing up in the US poor and without healhcare and parents who can/will help, etc. He has a lot of conviction on anything pertaining to that. Listening to his childhood stories from him and his Mother

Thank you! That was probably the first Slim song I ever learned all the words to. I remember playing the LP over and over.
