A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2209 We'll Get You Feelin' Fine!

hi merme. you posted the same time i did! and since i'm only hit and miss on tonight (looking up tick info) i didn't see you! sorry.

I don't think it's crazy ideas, I think you were there holding his hand when he needed it the most!

So, I missed Jiff! ......and Merme???

anyone still around?

anyone doing anything exciting for the long weekend?
were planning on bbqing maybe some shrimp, and veggie (from the garden) cabobs.

Oh and if you guys are really wanting to spread rumors about someone.....I could offer myself up.
sssshhhhh.....don't tell anybody.....(but I'm turning 40 here in the next week)
I could use some cheering up!

Ohhh, Cricket. i loved 40. I had a baby at 40 and another at 43. That is not old at all.

Sheri Its a huge amusement park in Sandusky Ohio. Right on Lake Erie. Really great Theme park.
My inner child needs a fix.

I'm back for a few minutes, Cricket.

40 isn't so bad. When I turned 40, I was a happy new mom of a soon-to-be 1 year old and life was suddenly very BUSY! On second thought, I may not have had much time to think of 40.


Merme

maybe I have TOO much time to think.
I just feel like 'RUNNING'! *cricket says that in her very best Forrest Gump voice*
I'm about to get a quick bite and head off to bed.
night night.

Cricket......
OH MY goodness----40??? How I wish I was turning 40 !!! that was back 17 years ago, back in 1992---I was a thinner, healthier me back then too---- :wink:

Tina, John had the best attitude - must have had a great life. So you had 2 children after 40. And people think 40 is old :wink: Only 20 year olds right? Many of my friends start talking about having another child after they reach their 40's but I have never thought of that. I think I'm too selfish. I like being able to do my own thing and take naps.

Cricket, you know we won't say a word about your turning 40. You can trust us to keep your secret.

it sounds like you and John had a very good and loving relationship, Tina---You can take comfort in that. You were/are one lucky lady to have found such a remarkable man--

You're right about that Carol Jean. I work with a friend, worked with her at the Health Department too, who has been married twice now and divorced twice. (I wore a grass skirt and water bra to her last wedding but that's another story). She just told me yesterday that she's in love with a man she met online. She's seen him once. He is married and has children. She has 2 children but is so lonely that she's willing to settle for almost anything. It's really a blessing to find someone to share a life with. (don't tell my husband I called him a blessing)

Thank you Carol. I am/was a normal wife, half the time wanting take a frying pan to him for stomping muddy feet across my newly cleaned floor. I know he had a hammer in mind with my name on it on occasion. We had the normal ups and downs that come with 20 years of trying to live together.
Today I get to run around and take care of a little more business. I am going to work as well. Then I am looking forward to the long weekend ahead. The weather is not to go above mid 80's for the next week. All is well here.

"I know he had a hammer in mind with my name on it on occasion."


I hear ya girl. That's called love.

OH--OK--I will try to remember that--

ya know sheri--I know I rag on poor Rodney a lot--but hey I love him or I would not be here yet.--and I know I am lucky, there are many that have real problems.

Tina, you are welocme. I think all relationships have their ups & downs---it is how one deals with those ups & downs that makes a difference, dont ya think??

Morning ....
I just fed the two school age boys- the little one stayed home with Joseph who doesn't have school today- we are early today cause Carrie (after working till midnight) is going to a graduation for one of her carry-outs girlfriends... I think she is nuts but at least she is off today- I will do the school running this morning ..then home to figure out bills an such.... always fun.
Well got to get Mom eating too and get ready to start the trek to school... back soon after bills get paid.....
Nana

Nana, pay some of my bills while you're at it please.


Carol Jean, you're right. It's how people deal with stuff. I'm convinced that if people had more money, like athletes and movie stars, there'd be a lot more divorces and breakups. Normal people find ways to work things out because they can't afford or don't want to afford breaking up. Personally, I think it's a better way. If I got divorced everytime someone made me mad I wouldn't be able to remember my last name by now.

I am going to close this Coffee House and I'm not going to tell my secret. I promised I wouldn't tell it and I'm not going to tell it on this Coffee House.
