Being pregnant sucks!” 8:34:11 AM 10/24/07 “True dat.” 8:34:39 AM 10/24/07 “You're also entitled to wine, but not for awhile:)” 8:36:00 AM 10/24/07 “Well mine's been pretty good so far! "Really freaking weird" would probably be the best way to describe it...LOL. My body's been taken over...but I like it! I will be pretty surprised if that critter doesn't punch/kick its way directly out of my stomach before the next few months are up. haha!!” 9:13:54 AM 10/24/07 “The one thing I truly hated about pregnancy was trying to sleep. My mom gave me a body pillow and that helped a bit. I tucked it between the knees, under the belly and then snuggled up to what was left. It did take up a whole bunch of bed space though. I am a back sleeper and that is forbidden. I kept waking up on my back horrified and fearful I'd caused some horrible harm to the Abster, lol. Smiley, That place is awesome! But, I always head to famous footwear first. I love that place and their rewards program has gotten me quite a few pairs of free shoes. I found some awesome chocolate brown suede heels with patent trim. Something I'll wear on other occasions aside from the wedding.” 11:35:25 AM 10/24/07 “Here's something I don't get, one of the few things ALL women can agree on is that they universally hate bridesmaids dresses. Agreed? Why do brides pick fugly bridesmaids dresses? Is it a, "You made me wear an ugly one, I'll make you wear one," type of thing? This is one of lifes mysteries.” 11:39:46 AM 10/24/07 “If our bridesmaids wear the ugly dresses we pick out for them, it proves their loyalty to us. LOL! Acutally, chocolate brown is a very hot color, and looks great on a lot of different people.” 11:54:10 AM 10/24/07 “Yeah the sleeping part isn't too great, I'll admit. I never sleep on my back usually, but I even tried that the past couple nights, to get off my hips...with 3 pillows propped up behind my back so I was sorta sitting up. Not really conducive to nighty-night. I can't wait to sleep on my tummy again!” 11:55:02 AM 10/24/07 “I reeeally like my chocolate brown Patagonia polo shirt.... but now I've been informed that it's an "econazi" uniform, LMAO O Well ---- Let Your Freak Flag Fly! (personally, I think it's ecosnazzy)” 1:47:12 PM 10/24/07 “Morning...33F here with a beautiful moon...anybody up?” 3:35:37 AM 10/25/07 “Yup, it's me. I'm heading over to Danbury for another load of firewood. Yesterday I got everything split from Tuesdays trip; the never ending cycle:) It sounds like the owner wants us to cut everything, living or not. 33 acres of mostly oak. Maybe I should start cutting it in 8-10 ft lengths and make some lumber? This weekend it's up on the rooftop to get it properly patched. Presently it doesn't leak, but looks rather cruddy and might not last the winter. I've wondered how country people did everything they had to do in order to stay alive back in the day. The answer seems to be that they started out young, becme hardened to the labor and had the good sense to die before they got to my age.” 4:03:45 AM 10/25/07 “Is matahairyhellion, a 33yr. old with a pretty butt, lol” 4:18:18 AM 10/25/07 “I don't know about her age but I'm sure her butt is pretty. All hiker chicks have nice butts don't they? ;) Pitbull, where are you from in Michigan? Goodmorning! Moving the last of the mulch into the school garden this morning. I'll be glad to be done with that. Rain starts tonight and should last until Monday. Got real cold last night, heavy frost. We fired up the woodstove. It's darn cold in the computer room right now! The stove's got to run non-stop for a day or two before it gets warm all the way back here. Brrrr!” 4:34:40 AM 10/25/07 “Good Morning all ya dudes and dudettes!!! It is a beautiful fall morning here. I little windy but nice only mid 50's. The rain is moving out making way for another batch later today. Tree...I sent it down to you...did you get it? THANKFULLY tonight is the last computer class...this has been torcher! I can't wait for it to be done and have my T & Th nights back!!! Have a super blessed day!!!” 4:54:48 AM 10/25/07 “Great only two more days until the weekend. Morning all,cold here this morning finally got a frost.” 4:57:33 AM 10/25/07 “You got a frost last night Sass? Nothing here. Its going to be a challenging day here, I can tell. The two day sleep marathon is over, and a certain someone is bound to be awake all day today. :( I have nothing planned. A trip to the post office, but that's it. Plus, that's only two blocks away so its not exactly an outing. Have a good one, everyone!” 4:59:18 AM 10/25/07 “It actually rained yesterday! .... about half an inch. Unfortunately, that's just under half our monthly total. If this keeps up my next car will be a camel.” 5:23:09 AM 10/25/07 “Paddles where are you? Smiley...maybe she will surprise you and conk out!” 5:54:59 AM 10/25/07 “It was upper 40's last night. Brrrrrr! I don't know what our rain total is from the last 2 days but it has to be close to 2". Yeahhh” 5:58:04 AM 10/25/07 “Paddles where are you? I`m from Southern Ontario.I live in ST.Thomas,have for a year now.I used to live in the country near a little town called Alymer....I really miss the country. http://www.elginconnects.ca/portal/site/thom/menuitem.40f26fc7b9e58407cf2129201891ef9a/ http://ca.epodunk.com/profiles/ontario/st-thomas/2002075.html” 6:10:37 AM 10/25/07 “Looks like a pretty nifty place!!!” 6:21:43 AM 10/25/07 “We got .68 inches yesterday, and have a continuing light drizzle that feels really good. Just got another depressing call from my mom, so my day is shot. She's so good at ruining everything for me. I still have this cold from hell, or flu, or whatever.” 7:21:47 AM 10/25/07 “Sassafras - You might try placing a fan on the floor of the doorway of the room to blow the cold air out of the room. The cooler air at floor level might be replaced then by the warmer air above that will now enter the room.” 8:28:01 AM 10/25/07 “I thought St. Thomas was in the Virgin Islands, when did they move it? Glad I didn't sign up for one of those fancy winter vacations. Come to think of it, we got the St. Croix River right here and that doesn't go near the Virgin Islands either...then there's the matter of not being any virgins in the Virgin Islands...I need a nap.” 8:30:01 AM 10/25/07 “Nowslimmer, we have ceiling fans to blow the warm air down and a fan that blows into the other part of the house. The problem was just that the stove only ran for about 12 hours and then we let it go out (high of 59° and sun today!). It just takes awhile to get warm everywhere and the computer room is farther from the stove than any other room in the house.” 8:36:03 AM 10/25/07 “Here it is, the morning coffee thread! Except that is just my name for this thread. Coffee, coffee, coffee, ........” 12:24:48 PM 10/25/07 “Coffee sounds really good right about now.” 12:30:58 PM 10/25/07 “jeeeez, they'll let anybody in this place ----” 1:34:05 PM 10/25/07 “Hey, there's Tilt a Whirl. Whazzup?” 1:50:24 PM 10/25/07 “Not a whole heck! (maybe half a heck, < VBG >) I think our crazy Governor (GA) is about to start a small altercation with the states of AL and FL over the water in the Chattahoochee River.... It even made the News Hour tonight on PBS. We're about to dry up and blow away down here ---- Bad news for canoes & kayaks!” 4:47:08 PM 10/25/07 “pitbull...LOL...I WISH I were 33 and still HAD a butt...LOL... Good morning...didn't mind getting up at 3am this morning...went to bed early so woke up before the alarm...it's so bright you could read a book outside..if the full moon looked larger than normal it's because it WAS...it is 30,000 miles closer to the earth than usual so appears bigger in the sky...cool, huh? TGIF!” 1:37:25 AM 10/26/07 “I'm not used to thinking of Georgia and dry in the same context. In NJ our rainfall was pretty normal this year, which is more rainfall than Seattle gets usually. I was surprised to know that we get more rain than they do. They have very nice mild weather.” 3:52:43 AM 10/26/07 “Morning. That moon was beautiful last night. And so bright! I've got nothing to say this morning. Have a good one, everybody!” 3:59:48 AM 10/26/07 “Have a nice mute day Smiley!” 4:05:03 AM 10/26/07 “The moon was gorgeous last night. I wake up to NPR on the radio. Today it was a mistake. Usually it's the weather and road conditions (I have it timed that way), this morning it was news that Lebannon fired on Israeli fighter planes. I fear we'll find WWIII happening very soon. =( Scares the stuff out of me! Happy Weekend anyways.” 4:32:08 AM 10/26/07 “Morning all. Gee we may have blue skies today...almost forgot what they looked like,of course rain is scheduled for Saturday that`s becoming old news anymore. On a bright note headed for the Bass Pro shop in Mississauga on Sunday here`s hoping they have some sales going on !” 4:58:29 AM 10/26/07 “Good morning, It looks like another rainy day on the way around here. Hi Lyndy, good to see you back on the get up thread.” 5:16:47 AM 10/26/07 “Goooood morning! Well I've tried every position known to (wo)man, and nothing keeps my hips from killing me at night! Last night I attempted to sleep with a body pillow, and also balanced on top of said body pillow. LOL!! I think I woke up about 87 times. But on the bright side, I get to meet a bunch of crazy people from the internet in the woods tonight!” 5:56:47 AM 10/26/07 “You're sleeping in the woods while several months pregnant? Very brave. I think with our 3rd my wife was about 5 months pregnant when we camped in the Smokies for 2 nights. She was a pro by then though.” 6:00:54 AM 10/26/07 “Lyra's a pro by now too. Have fun Chickie! If you can't sleep anyways you may as well have fun while you're at it. =) My stupid 9am appointment changed to 10;15. I was just about out the door... Oh well, computer time!” 6:04:52 AM 10/26/07 “Very true. When she was about 6 months along we were at a b'day party. My wife walked by and a guy commented that he missed his wife being pregnant. I said, "Yeah, why's that?" He replied, "I love ridin' the hump." You can't just un-say something like that.” 6:06:58 AM 10/26/07 “Riding the hump??? OMG! I'm around 5 months now, too. Yeah Sass is right...and you guys know me, I'm extremely hardcore. ;-)” 6:08:38 AM 10/26/07 “Just don't drop your food. The first time I met Nigal I was pregnant. We'd hiked about 8 miles and I was starving, as usual. I dropped my harvest bar in the dirt, picked it up and kept on eating it. He almost fell off the picnic table we were sitting at. I didn't even think about it.” 6:13:15 AM 10/26/07 “My wife wanted to know what we were giggling about and I told her. His wife came by a minute or two later and immediately figured it out. This is the same guy who woke in the middle of the night thinking he was Tom Cruise from Top Gun. She told the story on him one time about, as they put it, "The Midnigh Bandit Rides Again." Afterwards he says, "I'm still just so broken up about Maverick (or whatever Anthony Edwards characters name was.)" He never even woke up and was dreaming the whole time. All of this begs the question, who tells these stories on themselves? There are about 6-8 ladies that meet once a month at different homes and just chat. It's officially called book club. I call it gossip club because they haven't read a thing in the 5 years my wife has been going. Anyway, they've gotten really close and a few stories have been told after a few glasses of wine that shouldn't really be told. All of the couples are in a supper club too and this is where the stories tend to rear their ugly heads. I think I'll quit talking now.” 6:13:58 AM 10/26/07 “Wise decision.” 6:16:23 AM 10/26/07 “I've heard that story before, Sass, although I was thinking it was an ice cream cone you dropped and picked up and kept eating, haha!! A bar would be a no-brainer.” 6:18:52 AM 10/26/07 “At least I wasn't telling tales on myself. It really was a friend. No, really, a friend. I did get this guy to go on one of my kids campouts. He has a Masters in Biology. That was a nice addition during the hike. He could tell us what all the plants were.” 6:21:19 AM 10/26/07 “I did that too. =( I have no pride.” 6:22:41 AM 10/26/07 “I'm picturing George Castanza pulling the candy bar out of the trash can now.” 6:23:42 AM 10/26/07 “That's hilarious!! Actually, I could see that.” 6:24:18 AM 10/26/07 Jump to Page << prev
