23830. alistairconnor - 3/20/2008 3:37:16 PM I hope it all goes well for Leslie, Judith. Stay brave. 23831. thoughtful - 3/20/2008 10:37:26 PM I hate having to make decisions like that...you wish that there were a way to see into the future or try one thing on and if you don't like it, hit the 'undo' button, but unfortunately life isn't like that and we have to choose to do what we think is best given the limited knowledge we have, and then live with the choices we made, knowing that, at the time, it was the best we could do.
Wishing you courage, hope, wisdom and comfort... 23832. alistairConnor - 3/21/2008 12:51:02 AM Ah I've finally done it. I've slapped the little c--t.
I did it with love. I did it in a Chinese restaurant. I did it in front of his mother, and a dozen other diners who pretended not to notice.
Should have done it months ago, I suppose. Didn't feel I had a right to. Now I know I have a responsibility to. 23833. arkymalarky - 3/21/2008 1:11:14 AM Thing is, Alistair, it's a life-long one. In a way, by doing that you've made a life-long commitment to him. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just a thing with a troubled teen.

 23839. jexster - 3/23/2008 11:17:52 PM Note the homeless man far left....one of our major tourist attractions 23840. arkymalarky - 3/23/2008 11:20:27 PM I would crash it anyway. If I waited for an invitation I'd never go anywhere. 23841. Ms. No - 3/24/2008 1:10:27 AM Woo-hoo! I'm excited! I have no preferences either so we'll leave it to Wonkers to decide.
23842. Ms. No - 3/25/2008 7:11:41 AM Met Wonkers, Jexster and the lovely Mrs. Wonkers at Powell Street and walked down to the Taditch Grill. Excellent company, good food and gorgeous weather in the City. A very lovely day and you should all be green with envy!
23843. Magoseph - 3/25/2008 2:52:14 PM I'm white with snow rage, looking at the huge piles of snow from the fifteen inches falling last Friday just when the previous snow started to melt and thinking of you four lucky devils. 23844. alistairconnor - 3/25/2008 4:07:55 PM Likewise. Although the weather is never "gorgeous" in SF so I suspect the rest is exaggerated too. Food was lousy, ugly fistfight. That sort of thing. 23845. alistairconnor - 3/25/2008 4:10:05 PM And though I don't think we got 15 inches like lucky Mago, we had more snow over Easter weekend than we got all winter. Cancelled the cycling trip to the Canal du Midi, stayed home and made snowmen. Went skiing yesterday with the girls, snowed all the time, howling wind, fun nevertheless. 23846. jexster - 3/25/2008 5:49:33 PM Poor Ms. Wonkers.
I can now feel her pain 23847. jexster - 3/26/2008 2:50:54 AM Like uncle like nephew...
My no 2 came in second at the Houston area schools science competition. Eighth grader...headed for the Great State finals in San Antone
Environmental science category...measured water pollution at three sites along Oyster Creek and compared/contrasted/concluded baby!
1 of 3 second place finishers from Fort Bend County, no No. 1 23848. judithathome - 3/28/2008 3:14:42 PM Congrats on having a smart relative, Jex!
Glad y'all had a fun meet-up...I knew it would be with MsNo there! She has the best laugh, doesn't she!
23849. judithathome - 3/28/2008 3:24:00 PM My little kitty girl is growing up. She has always been a "stay close" kitty, not snuggly but wanting to be in the same room with me all through the day. When Keoni walks in the door, she's all his...they watch golf together in the garden room during the evening and if he joins me in the den, she trots right along...one big happy family.
Lately, she has been lounging in the living room in the window seat every morning. She doesn't join me at the computer desk or even seem to care where I am.
But the kicker was last night...it was a little warm in the house because it got up to 85 yesterday and I had the doors and windows open and the ceiling fans on...we were in the den watching TV and I noticed Harley was not in her usual chair nor on top of the computer.
Went searching for her and there she was...in the darkened garden room, stretched out on a rug in front of the open back door, taking in the cool evening air. She just casually glanced over at me as if to say "So?" And she stayed there when I went back into the den!
Sob! My little sweety has become an aloof teenager now!
