Keoni's biscuits? The man will be camping out in your yard!

25678. judithathome - 9/22/2009 4:45:18 PM

Yep...they certainly worked on ME!

25679. iiibbb - 9/22/2009 5:36:19 PM

not having a good day.

25680. arkymalarky - 9/22/2009 7:45:11 PM

Hmm. Why not?

25681. magoseph - 9/27/2009 4:03:22 PM

This is just a test.

25682. judithathome - 9/27/2009 5:32:28 PM

It worked!

25683. magoseph - 9/27/2009 6:15:28 PM

Yes, thanks much!

Look at the time, something is wrong--I can't figure out what it is--too stressed out, I guess.

Hey Mags!

You will probably have to reset your time in the mote options.

Hey, Judith, if I had a botttle of dark red wine right now, I would call a helper and go to sleep.

25687. Ms. No - 9/28/2009 2:27:24 AM

Oooh, I want a helper and to go to sleep!

Can we get a Constitutional Amendment for that?

Good to see you Mago!

Lucy in the sky with diamonds dies

It's not about drugs...

LONDON (AP) -- Lucy Vodden, who provided the inspiration for the Beatles' classic song ''Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,'' has died after a long battle with lupus. She was 46.

I've got an offer on my house. It's almost my asking price.

The relief is enormous, but mostly I just want to cry.

These last few days we've been visiting houses to buy, we were all excited about one place and re-visited it with a friend who's an interior architect, but it could be a real dog... needs a lot of work.

And I got punched by my stepson again. He's having trouble taking his medication. He really needs it, but it makes him feel stupid.

25690. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 6:52:02 PM

congrats Alistair...

Our fingers are crossed. The people that are renting our house work for a construction firm. If they company lands a certain project in the area they plan on being there for 5 or mor years, which would mean they want to buy a house. Right now they are hedging by renting.

Our realtor tells us that the odds of the project going down are about 90% in her estimation.

So we might wind up with an offer from our current tenants, who apparently love the house, and are putting a lot of energy into the landscaping. I see this as a hopeful sign for us.

Well, I've just had the worst day of my life, by far.

This morning I signed away all rights to two years' salary from my former employer. Not a big deal, relatively speaking, because tonight I went to marriage counseling with my wife and the counselor told me "she sounds really determined to end your marriage, let's talk about a divorce ritual." It was the result I expected, but still not a good day. And I still think my wife is making a big mistake, for herself, but hey, I made every effort.

So next time you think you are having a bad day, I got you trumped.

25692. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 7:34:09 PM

Sorry Dubai.

I thought mine almost go there... but what I had to do to make the save has been a big drain.

As far as my crappy day last week... which was pretty crappy, things later in the week helped recover it.

But I won't claim worse than yours...

25693. alistairConnor - 9/29/2009 11:15:07 PM

Well I've been there too Dube. Five years I've been divorced, it was pretty bad for a while, but it got better, and it still gets better every day.
(I thought at the time that that my wife made a big mistake for herself. I no longer think so, but I suspect that she does. Too bad.)

Today is a momentous day for me, gut wrenching. Having the certainty that I'm actually going to sell my house is a lot different from merely deciding to sell it. I've had it for twenty years, near enough, and it's a large chunk of my identity. This is it (just in case one of you folks wants to buy it...)

25694. vonKreedon - 9/29/2009 11:39:18 PM

AC - Am I reading the description of the grounds correctly to say that there's a trout stream? Stables? A stone bridge at the end of the property? Wish I had beaucoup bucks (pardon my French), looks and sounds really nice.

25695. Dubai Vol - 9/30/2009 2:39:21 AM

Yeah, AC, that does sound very nice; are you sure you are asking enough? Sounds kinda cheap to me (not that I can afford it myself! :)

25696. Ms. No - 9/30/2009 6:23:20 AM

Glad to hear the good news, sorry to hear the bad.

Hang in there DVol.
