11300. OhioSTOPAS - 9/5/2004 7:59:33 PM What a cute baby?
But . . . my New Zealand girlfriend is a GRANDMOTHER? 11301. OhioSTOPAS - 9/5/2004 8:00:29 PM That was supposed to be an exclamation point after "baby"!
Make it two: What a cute baby!! 11302. SnowOwl - 9/5/2004 8:03:58 PM Thank you! I might be a grandmother, Ohio, but in terms of youthfulness I'm actually younger than any of my children, who were staid and middle-aged from birth. 11303. OhioSTOPAS - 9/5/2004 10:18:37 PM Ha! Same here. I expect my immaturity to keep me young. 11304. judithathome - 9/6/2004 12:32:39 AM We're going to our neighbors for a little lunch. They are going on a road trip in their RV next month and we've bought a present for the guy...a Republican! no less...a travel bar. It's a carrying case with two martini shakers, four stainless cups, ice tongs, long handled spoons, and room for the bottle of Bomabay Sapphire gin we got him. The vermouth and olives will have to travel seperate. 11305. judithathome - 9/6/2004 12:33:05 AM drop an A out of Bombay 11306. Absensia - 9/6/2004 3:13:26 AM Beautiful, Snow. 11307. PelleNilsson - 9/6/2004 3:18:51 AM Indeed. But then Swedish babies usually are. I, for example, was almost as beautiful then as I am now. 11308.

Glad to see you back, Mags.
Judith,
That travel bar sounds super. A Republican should appreciate it. ;-) 11310. Magoseph - 9/6/2004 9:19:27 PM Hi, everyone and thanks to Neato, Snow, Ano, and Arky. We are hurting and groaning, but we are now going back to our work in the garage, trying to fill up the dumpster to the brim with more junky items. Imagine, we had yesterday two neighbors asking us if we could let them put some things in that dumpster. Yeah, we said, come tomorrow after we have finished here. 11311. neato - 9/6/2004 9:40:49 PM Nice of them to ask. Round here a dumpster is considered fair game - to put stuff in, or remove it. 11312. Macnas - 9/6/2004 9:45:14 PM We paid 180 Euro for our last dumpster (or skip as we call them). A mate of mine asked if he could use it to get rid of a few things, so I sez grand, work away.
What did he put in it? an entire kitchen. My missus was none too pleased with either of us. 11313. judithathome - 9/7/2004 6:58:15 AM Just got back from an appointment that I lucked into at the doctor's office; someone cancelled...I got another steroid shot in my knee, which has been hurting like hell since Saturday. The last one I had was in April. So if this one works as well, I'll be a happy camper. 11314. arkymalarky - 9/7/2004 9:20:55 AM I had a dentist appointment after school and I left a little early to get an allergy shot. Got to the dentist's chair and found out I wasn't getting the cleaning I thought I was getting, but I was supposed to have two teeth filled (an involved job replacing old fillings involving about an hour and a half and a lot of drilling.
I rescheduled. No way was I doing that this afternoon. So instead I spent a fun afternoon trying to help Dad clean up his computer. It wasn't as bad as Mose's, but it was very slow and he's got so much crap on it it's unreal. Not spyware and viruses, but stuff he wants to keep. If I'm as much of a packrat as my parents when I get that age I'm going to have two houses--one to live in and one to put stuff in. 11315. Magoseph - 9/7/2004 10:31:48 PM Well, we did a good job getting rid of things yesterday and Monday--barbecue grill, two huge microwave oven, three TVs, two broken-down wheelbarrows, two large boxes of telephones, five tires, lamps, and many boxes full of ugly cutlery, china, glasses, and voyage souvenirs. I can't remember everything we put in that dumpster but this time it was full to the top. A neighbor saw us wheeling out big items and once we had them in the driveway, he came and put them in the dumpster. We asked him to choose a piece of furniture or two in the basement and he chose a desk and chair we didn’t like.
This dumpster is the second one we filled up with junk. We could use more dumpsters. When the time comes we'll have to truck away the stuff to the township's dump site, unless the new owners plan to raze the buildings. At least now, we have enough space to set up the bookcases, shelves, and tables for items we will sell next spring. I plan to make an inventory of the furniture that should go and then have the kids here for first choice. Strangely, since we lost Flexy’s brother, the children are much more interested in mementoes of the place where their father and uncle spent their childhood summers.
11316. judithathome - 9/7/2004 10:48:22 PM That usually happens with a death in the family, but many times, the nostalgia hits after the stuff has already been discarded. They are lucky they still have access to mementos.
Sounds like you and Flexy really "labored" over the holiday, Mags. Take a break now! 11317. Magoseph - 9/9/2004 12:14:15 AM Salut, tout le monde! Comment allez-vous? Now, you try to answer me in French, just for a change, please?. I've had a very hard time this last week and I need a little cheering up. 11318. judithathome - 9/9/2004 12:19:38 AM You'd get more than cheer if I tried to answer in French...you'd be doubled over in laughter.
All I know in French is merde. 11319. alistairconnor - 9/9/2004 12:48:06 AM Merde, le mot est lâché. On peut dire beaucoup de choses avec ce mot là.
Merde, Judith! (meaning, figuratively, Break a leg! Oops, bad taste)
Chacun sa merde! each to his own.
