Great to see you here!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOUGHTFUL!! Thanks for sharing the update about your mother. Sounds like she's staying in control rather than handing it over to doctors. Good for her.
Headed out to see Judith and Keoni tomorrow and can't wait! 21461. thoughtful - 4/3/2007 1:06:09 PM Thanks for all the bday wishes.
Now if I can only get the bday's to stop coming. Actually, the best decade of my life was my 30s....old enough to have the self confidence of being a full fledged adult, young enough to not suffer all the deterioration of an aging body and our parents were young enough to not be a major worry.
21462. wabbit - 4/3/2007 2:08:14 PM Happy belated birthday, t'ful, and my very best wishes for your mom.
Yo Betty, good to see you! Did you ever get all those cranes made? How's the baby (not so small anymore)? 21463. thoughtful - 4/3/2007 3:09:00 PM thanks wabbit 21464. alistairConnor - 4/3/2007 3:14:05 PM Bettybettybetty! Come home! 21465. arkymalarky - 4/3/2007 3:38:04 PM Well...missed the train. I don't want to get mad again, so the short version is that Amtrak timing is less than dependable and I understand some of Mussolini's appeal.
I have six months to use the tickets, so I will get my train ride to Ft. Worth. 21466. alistairConnor - 4/3/2007 4:59:01 PM Hey, you don't need Mussolini. You need Greens to get the trains running on time. 21467. arkymalarky - 4/3/2007 6:21:49 PM Hahaha! Do Green trains run? Remember, our Green Guy is Ralph Nader.
Hey! Maybe Gore would be interested in that slot for '08. 21468. arkymalarky - 4/3/2007 6:22:28 PM I can see it now: "Unsafe at any speed. So stay home." 21469. alistairConnor - 4/3/2007 6:30:08 PM Hey I just published this article on our regional Greens site. Our Green regional councillors are pushing for the re-opening of rail lines that were closed down in the 60s. And the majority on the council are following. 21470. arkymalarky - 4/3/2007 6:41:27 PM Cool! France certainly made headlines here with its record-breaking train speed. 21471. judithathome - 4/3/2007 10:40:46 PM Arky, I've been so bummed about our cancelled plans today...right now, we'd be opening a bottle of wine and I'd be starting the scampi for dinner. :-(
(Well, make that in an hour from now....) 21472. jexster - 4/4/2007 12:44:21 AM Just don't open UR wrists their JAH...can't trust the mule service from AR I always said 21473. jexster - 4/4/2007 12:44:30 AM there 21474. arkymalarky - 4/4/2007 1:42:23 AM I hear they're owned by wacky Californians.
I hate it, Judith. I've been totally worthless all day. Right now I'm digging into Oreos. 21475. judithathome - 4/4/2007 5:46:54 AM Well, you missed an exciting evening Arky! Saw 15 minutes of House and the rest of the hour was devoted to tornado warnings straight through til 10pm. We got not one drop of rain but in surrounding communities, people weren't so lucky, lots of roof damage a few miles away. I guess I can't fault the local stations for hogging the airwaves when it really was dangerous...the air outside looked positively yellow with huge dark clouds swirling around and we had our emergency plans all ready to go...where to wait it out, blankets for coverage, etc.
Then, it all blew past and we had a beer and watched the season premiere of The Shield.
21476. judithathome - 4/4/2007 5:47:58 AM Oh, and it's not headed your way...it was going south this time. 21477. betty - 4/4/2007 3:19:38 PM Thanks for the warm greeting all.
Yes, this place is crazy enough to be my home. (I am such a petulant child.)
I'm still working on the cranes. Though I'm almost done with my BA!!! Such a freakin' relief.
The Weedgirl is almost eight and thoroughly fabulous. Whipsmart and funny not to mention gorgeous! Her dad still lives in town so they get a lot of time together which is nice for her.
21478. wabbit - 4/4/2007 3:22:25 PM Almost eight, it doesn't seem possible. Glad to know things are going well. What are you studying? 21479. betty - 4/4/2007 3:37:15 PM American History. Taking a year off before grad school then through a PhD program...I think. I thought about doing housing law, but the idea of law school with Weed still so demanding of my time...well, I doubt it would work.
