We've had bad storms the last two days so I've been without internet for two days and missed reading you :-( It looks like we are going to get more today. We need the rain, but not the wind that comes with it.
I am happy today though. SC did win the Nat'l Championship in baseball last night. It's only our 2nd ever!
I leave for the beach Saturday so I can't wait to see my family. It's been since Christmas since I've seen some of them.
got up early....gotta put clothes in the dryer and get my bath water walking.....
started cataloging my royal family book collection yesterday all whilst NOT picking up or organizing anything of the mess that is my bedroom! :) thus far i have about 175 books with the oldest ones being from the 1860s.....i think i have about 200.....
think i'll continue that today.....
cooler out now....need to do yard work but can't over do it due to the vertigo i am still recovering from....suppose to go to ohio's largest flea market friday i don't think i can handle the 1.5 hour drive, all the walking plus i am several hundred in the hole for july!! so i'll just go in a few months.....
think that's about it....still waiting for some cards/letters in the mail....i think there's about 3 more coming.....i'm sending out whatever i have on tuesday as i believe there's no mail on monday.....
Watching the weather channel, keeping track of hurricane Alex. Worried that the BP Deepwater oil spill is on the east or "dirty" side of the storm, and hoping more oil is not dispersed on shore as a result.
Also following the Russian spy ring arrests on CNN. Apparently the investigation has been going on for decades! One of the astonishing things is that the information they were gathering and passing on by elaborate means is said to have been available on the internet.....wtf?
Also admiring Miss Tia's fabulous cherries and wondering about her Royal Family book collection.The British Royal family? They are pretty fascinatingly screwed up..and German!! I would love to hear more.
DD, Hopefully your virus will quickly run it's course, leaving you relieved and happy. Get well soon!!
yes british royal family.....i can't just toss out tidbits though as i could go on and on and on.....i've actually made a very close friend via this site and they are just as knowledgeable as me about the royal family....it's awesome to family have someone who has the same level of interest and passion about 'em! we talk for hours about the royal family!!!
once i get out of the tub i shall continue my cataloging....
i also discovered i have an elsa maxwell biography that Andre Leon Talley bought and gave to someone called 'The Baron'....inscription dated from 1976......
It is gorgeous out! (doing happy dance)..The humidity is gone. I was able to turn off the ACs and the fans! Woohoo! What have I done so far?
-Took mile walk with hubs this morning. -Walked the dogs -Fed animals -Watered plots at garden..I got corn tassles! -Called eye dr to make appt (Friday) to pick up my new reading glasses. I am so happy about this. I have a stack as high as a dogs eye (higher really) of books I have been dying to read. -getting ready to start the crisp sweet pickles to can. I have enough cukes to make a good batch today. - and I did some research on my feet... If it is not one thing it is a fucking `nother. I have the back surgery. I am feeling great. I am moving, I am grooving, I am walking. I need to cause I gained 30lbs. Then last month the heels of both my feet started to hurt. They hurt when I first get up in the morning, and when I get up from resting. They stop hurting once I walk around but by the end of the day..my dogs are barking. After some reading i figured out it is probably Plantar Fasciitis. I may have to wear fucking booties! It can take up to a year to heal! WTF! I am trying to be healthy and I keep ending up going steps back.. okay okay. I am done with rant..LOL
Tonite is going to be ribs for dinner with home made oven fries and some kind of summer squash recipe.
***Pat, Get plenty of rest. If you had what I had (sore throat, cold, cough, feel like crap)..it can last about a week. I will be thinking of you!***
found out that my son can't join the marines due to "trace" marijuana in his system. He says he was around people doing it and must've inhaled it (bill Clinton Jr.) . I think it's more like he smoked it and thought it would be out of his system by the time he took the physical. I am so disappointed. I said to him when he wanted to join "you know they do a drug test , right?" , just so I could feel him out on the subject. He said "I know, that's no problem." At first I believed him about being around it. Now today with a fresh mind I think he did it and now he has totally screwed himself. sigh.
Sorry to hear that you're under the weather, Pat. Hope you recover quickly.
Today is nteresting - the weather is sparkling clear, low humidity (needed an extra blanket last night!), it's my b-day and my son is moving back in after a year on his own. He's a good kid, has a good job (EMT/Dispatcher, volunteer firefighter), moved out last year to move in with his "honey" who managed to provide him with a whole host of problems including not contributing financially to their apartment living. Hubs and I invited him back home after they broke up and she moved out. He needs to back on his feet. He's only 23 - it shouldn't take him too long. I want to see him having some fun.
Im not feeling well either! and im at work doing an open to close because only me and two other girls give a shit about this place and our jobs! I am about to fire some people if they keep this shit up! casey J.

Getting ready to go to our lake cabin for the 4th. We bought a SHITLOAD of illegal fireworks this year so it should be exciting! I hope I still have enough fingers left to type when we get back!
Play time with Ava. Went to wal-mart saw some lady around her 70s or 80s looking at K y intense lub. I almost lost it. I guess no matter what your age is your always curious. Other than that just entertaining Ava. I'm having a great time with her. But I have to look for daycares for her soon. So she can be with kids her own age and have more fun.
ps. yes this is ava's mommy stupid blogger will not allow me to log in. I hope you all are doing great enjoy the summer and the 4th take care
I'm depressed have been since the weekend. I think I will go with Kim :/
dd I'm sorry your sick summer colds suck !
Valle sorry for the bad news for your son. Contact high is a real thing and will show on a test.
Jane & Enrique thank you for your kind words and emails today. Sorry I'm not myself lately.
DD I sent you some Pix I hope you got them.
Avas mommy omg really maybe she was just looking for some hand cream ?!?!??? Lil Ava will love to go to daycare. She's gonna three soon or four ??
Happy Birthday Cynthia :)
Tomorow is Canada s 143 rd bday July 1st kinda like the 4 th of July is to the USA.
Miss Tia is it a royal family uk cookbook ? They make a cherries jubilee cake over there I had it once in a London hotel rest It was very tastey !! Do you have a recipe for it ?
I feel better now that I came online to read. Thanks everyone.
i have a couple cookbooks that deal with the royal family.....dining at buckingham palace and another one written by diana's chef...oh i have the duchess of windsor's cookbook too.....
you'd probably be able to find that hotel's recipe on the net kiki! there are so many different variations for things within one recipe!!!
vicki---rogers, oh...fridays only AND IT IS HUGE.....it takes us usually about 6 hours to cover it all....
Sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get to take your town back soon and enjoy it.
valle,
Is he disqualified? most times you can get a waiver for marijuana. The Air Force Para Rescue / Combat Control program is outstanding, and a lot more comfortable than the Marine Corp. Yet we shared a lot of common schools and they deploy worldwide within a small elite circle of soldiers. besides, they get great training that carries over into civilian life, without the arthritic backs and blown out knees that so many Marines end up with. Just a thought for you and him from an insiders point of view and former Marine.
Thank you Tia. I never heard of this. I am looking for something to do this long weekend. Hubs has to work 16 hour days over whole weekend, actually many 16's next few weeks--training someone at work. Was thinking of hitting the Casinos. Will decide later.
I drive a 1972 VW convertible and I thought I needed a new brake job. ARrrhhh.. Well, got out of the mechanic spending only 40 bucks! Just needed a brake adjustment! yeahhh! bima
Took off today, my youngest had dentist, doctor and eye appointments. Trying to get all bases covered before she goes off to college. Grabbed a bite to eat before heading home to weed. Holy crow, have I been neglecting things! Weeding, trimming, cutting down and digging out. It's a beautiful day, but quite hot doing that kind of stuff. Haven't even gotten to the garden yet and don't even get me started on those effing Japanese Beetles! :(
I got a puppy and am sucking big time at training him . . .plus I tripped over him and sprained my foot, fractured the other foot, and twisted my wrist really good/bad . .. I feel like I'm failing at everything :P
Miss Tia, I also am interested in the royal family...you would definatly know more than me, but I am pretty well read on the subject. Have you ever read anything by Sharon Kaye Penman? You would be interested in her books ... you too DD. Beth in Seville
Miss Tia, My sister is a huge royal collector. Her dining room has tons of British and other world royalty related items. Including a Charles and Diana garbage can. (doesn't really collect the '77 stuff. Too much out there.) Someone just call the house out of the blue last week to ask if she wanted a scrapebook that her grandmother made about the King and Queens visit to Canada in 1939. It is pretty incredible. Her favorite item is card that was placed in the windows of stores saying they were closed for King George VI funeral. She got it from another person who was just going to toss it out, but thought she might like it. I found a tea cup at a second hand store last year and bought it for her, not thinking anything of it, just that she would like it. Turns out it is a tea cup for Princess' Anne's wedding to Mark Philips that she had been searching for. If I would have know it was that special I would have saved it for Christmas.
She is going to Toronto Tuesday to see the Queen and Prince Philip. (Philip is the only "major" royal she hasn't seen yet. She has seen all 4 "children") She had VIP seating for this event. Last summer Prince Charles spoke directly to her.
She was up early last week to watch Sweden's Princess Victoria (will be queen) marry her "prince charming" who actually called himself the frog prince since he is not of royal blood.
I guess I could talk about it forever too. If you want to see photo's contact me on the facebook group. She has lots of photo's up.
beth---i looked her up and no, that wouldn't interest me...that's fiction.....i only read non-fiction and biographies/auto-bios about the royal family....
twinner---your sister sounds like my kind of people!!! :) Wow! the only memorabilia i have aside from books is a charles & diana wedding tray...a 78rpm recording of edward viii's abdication speech....i have some edward viii, edward vii and victoria stamps....and an Edward vii coin, george vi coin and a george v coin....rest is books.....
oh twinner....the good friend i found via DD's, i just gave her a scrapbook for her birthday....a scrapbook from newspaper clippings during edward viii's abdication and their marriage afterwards (of course i photocopied a few pages!!) fascinating articles!!! they were delighted with it!!!
I put some of her photo's on the facebook group for you. She had 17boxes of books and 4 boxes of breakables when we moved last year. She actually donated 4 boxes of books back to second hand stores due to doubles and un-wanted ones.
She doesn't have very much Edward the 8th stuff. But has a tea cup made after the kings death but before the abdication.
thank you everyone for your kind words. Jarhead, I was hoping to get your input,so thank you for that. I posted a question on a discussion board asking about other opportunities in the service and they tried to hang me out to dry. TRIED being the operative word. I told them to kindly bite me.
@ anon 8:40, training a puppy sucks but you will be glad when it's done. I had 2nd degree burns on my foot the week after we got ours and I was the one training him so I feel your pain on that one. Now Jax rings a bell when he has to go out!
Kiki...sorry you're down. Fawlty Towers will help you to feel better. I never fail to LOL when I watch. No matter how many times I have seen them. They didn't make enough episodes. And I love "Man-well"!!! The rat episode was so funny.
Kim...we have all been there---so of us more than once.
Valle...I think Jarhead gave some good advice. He is the "go to guy" for that kind of stuff.
I worked a 12-hour shift today. Not too bad, busy and a little weird, but okay. Pat, I'm sorry that you and Casey J. are not feeling well. I hope this blows over quickly for you. It's kind of you to put up an open post for us to entertain ourselves while you are sick. Thanks. Hang on, Kim. As the old saying goes, it's always darkest before the dawn. Have you talked to a doctor's office yet? I'm thinking of you, and hoping that you are doing okay. Anxiety is a tough thing to beat. I've had issues for years. I've only had to leave the operating room once, years ago, but that was a tough one to live down. Some of the meds worked well for me, and some didn't. In the past year, I have had some attacks, and have hovered on the brink at other times. There are, however, prolonged times when I am completely free of it, so keep on keeping on, and see what can be done for you. As for the issues with your son and relatives, I know it's a trite old saying, but I use it often for myself. . . this too, shall pass. Heidi---your symptoms do sound like plantar fasciitis. I had that years ago, and it was miserable. It's something a lot of nurses get due to all the time spent on our feet, and sometimes not in the best shoes. One thing that was soothing for me, was to fill bottled water bottles about 3/4 full or so, and freeze. When you are going to sit down for awhile, grab a bottle and toss it on the floor in front of your chair. Roll the bottom of your foot or feet back and forth over the bottle, massaging the arch and heel. That gave me some temporary relief. I went through two entire courses of therapy with two different podiatrists, and have two sets of orthotics, had my feet taped, later had removable casts, that I would wear with ace bandages to hold them in place every night, got the injections, etc. My feet were considered a hairsbreadth away from being bad enough for the ultrasound "surgery", so I just used the inserts, the ice bottles, shots, etc. and eventually it got better. Very painful while it lasted though. I remember telling one of the doctors that standing up was like having a red-hot poker sticking straight up in my heel. Good luck with treatment. Kiki---I never see you down. . . feel better soon. I used to watch Fawlty Towers, but it's been a long time ago.
Jane yes I love man well too only 12 episodes. My favourite one is the olde deaf lady mrs. Richards. And the way the wife would talk to her gf and say I knowww oh I know over & over and drive basil mad !
Christina yes I'm never like this. It's soooo not me. It's like I took the attack on the city personally or internalized it. I can't believe how much I cried over the last few days.
I drew another sketch of a sea turtle tonight underwater looking at the surface with a sad look on his lil face as he sees the oil spill floating above him. I sent it to DD to post. When you feel better DD no rush. Thank you.
Kiki :)
ps I watched the first DVD of my fawlty towers set and you know it is good to laugh and I feel much better now. They say that " laughter is the best medicine ". I agree with that olde addage. Good night everybody.
kiki, frimmy, anon camper, I want to congratulate you all on Canada Day. I have a lot of love and respect for Canada when I remember the Juno beach invasion and the sacrifice of so many brave men on D-Day, up to the current wars overseas.
nice drawing kiki. Too bad it's probably quite accurate.
Gulf Update... T.S. Alex is moving the oil to the west. That is not good. Now it will cover La.'s entire coast and on into Texas. Kiki, I think I need to watch some Faulty Towers!!!
anon camper should be back by now. Hope his trip was good.
Almost school holidays here, son is very excited. We are in the middle of winter so hopefully the weather wont be too awful and we can go out and about (doesnt snow here in Auckland tho so nothing like the winters you guys get!).
Do you remember the pic i sent you of Chloe after she was born back in Feb? she is 4 1/2 months now, the time has flown by! Not sure how to post a pic here so ill email you a new one.
take care Liz (from NZ) ps so sorry to hear about BeeBee's passing, she was a sweet wee thing. x
Christina, Thank you. I read up on all the different steps of how they try to heal it. I hope it is simple. Thank you for the water bottle idea! I am going to try that today. It feels like I am walking on nails. It was not so bad for the past month or so..but now there is no denying that I need help for a Dr. I am a bit pissed because our city has a festival/fireworks extravaganza next weekend and I will not be able to attend with these feet!
Another beautiful day out there. Cool and no humidity. Loving it!
Have you read "Born to Run"?; it deals with a subject not unlike yours. I am barefoot as often as possible and even jump rope barefoot now on hard floors for 10 minutes. This is after a year and a half of working out barefoot. My feet have gotten so much stronger. No cramps. I can do a ballet toe raise on both feet!- Dad would be proud, he.
I have been walking barefoot my whole life. After some reading and a few ah hah moments..It is the weight gain from recoup of surgery and then the mile to 2 mile walks I have been doing. Poor tendon is tuckered out..LOL
I have the lastest Odd Thomas book (Dean Koontz), Jane austen Zombie book (i never finished), a couple Stephen Kings I want to re-read (Lisey`s story)and the new one, Morality. Then I have some older ones I picked up here and there. Secret Life of bees, Cider house rules, The big over easy and The Fourth bear (both by Jasper Fforde)
There are more but cannot think of them. All I know is hubs is working this holiday weekend so I have some books to read! YeeHaa!
I have not read Born to Run but I did watch a news program about it. I think it is amazing that they can run for 100s of miles with no shoes at all. And the run fast! I get it. I just have to drop some of this poundage first and heal what I have broken.
Andre' Leon Talley is awesome. I heard he did get demoted at Vogue tho. :( Its the economy. I love his cameo in the 1st SATC movie! I also loove the royals. Any of them. I espcially love the royals in Monaco. I even named my daughter Kelly in honor of Grace Kelly. And it worked out perfectly when she was born on St Pattys Day! I love biography's and anything true about famous people. Any great books I should read? I can check my library for them. xo Rox
found out a very cool guy I was mad about in high school hanged himself last week out in his garage. He lived in Texas. Dayum, why would anybody do that to their kids? His funeral is here today in our town where his dad still lives in the same house. So sad. Such an amazing guy. Pat, he had the required long hair and tall body. Looked like a rockstar and to me he was, back then! Driving around town at night just to see who was out and about, following a car with someone in it that you wanted to meet! Those were the days. 29 cent gas and all night to burn it up! He was a hawty in his fab brand new blue Charger. Thats how I will remember him, 18 and young & strong. He was 56 last month.
Sounds like a good plan. My brother brought me a Stephen King book ;"It". He said I'm gonna like it, but I've never read a horror book in my life, so I've been looking at it's worn out cover on my desk for a month and debating whether or not to read it. I'm sure a lot of people here have read it.
Maybe it's time for War and Peace Pat!- remember you thought about reading it. I want to find a good book to just read and relax.
MissTia,
You think Prince Harry is Capt Hewitt's son?- He looks just like him!, and nothing like boring square Prince Charles. Harry is a partying cad womanizer fond of horses like his alleged Dad.
The Odd Thomas books are great! I love all of Koontz books. The Frankenstein ones he wrote sucked me in! The newest one just came out, I'm on vacay next week and that sounds like a good thing to do! That's sad about your old school friend hanging himself...there was a guy I went to school with who had gotten himself into drugs pretty bad, he hurt his leg and ended up with a blood clot, he went to the hospital and they wouldn't help him, thinking he was just a druggie looking for a fix, that clot broke and he died sitting in his truck. He was 37. Heidi, I hope you start to feel better very soon!!!! You don't think about how much you depend on your feet until they hurt so bad you can't walk on them. Pat, feel better soon! Jarhead...I <3 you. :)
Jar---i totally believe harry is hewitt's son! of course diana said their affair didn't start til like a year after harry's birth, but i doubt that.....he looks exactly like hewitt! To charles' credit though he offered to do a dna test with harry, but harry didn't want too....charles told harry that he loved him no matter his true parentage and that would never change....
OMG! The frozen bottle of water is a lifesaver! It is like nirvana for the heels. I need to freeze two bottles..one for each foot! It is hell. It does not start all of a sudden. It is a gradual pain that comes and goes. I am at the stage where intervention with the Dr is in order.
Jar..My first SK book was It. My brother gave it to me for Christmas the year it came out. I was a youngin. That book was soooo thick! I did not like to read for pleasure at all. After that book, I was hooked on SK and reading as a whole. You might really like it..unless you are afraid of clowns. hehehe
I am so glad I found another person that knows who Odd Thomas is. It is a really good character.
If you've never read Pet Cemetery by SK, by all means do. That book scared the shit out of me. The movie totally sucked compared to the book. I'm glad I read the book first.
Anyone here a True Blood fan? I have my boxed set of Sookie Stackhouse books I've yet had time to start. Anyone else read them?
Miss Tia of course he's hewitts son. One look @ his ginger hair is enough to sway a jury. Of course Harry doesn't want a DNA test if he did he would not be a true royal ( lose his 3rd place in line to the throne ) and all that goes with it never mind the omg scandal too.
Jarhead the best SK book I ever read was called THE STORM OF THE CENTURY and ROSE RED both frightfully good !! His latest DUMA KEY was a bit of a let down compared to his earlier works. IT was ok but not the scariest book he's written IMO. Sometimes I think that Rose Red has similarities to the real life story of Annie Palmer in Jamaica. Does anyone know about her ?
DD hope you feel a lil better today.
Jane if you have the BBC channel from the uk they are running a marathon of Fawlty Towers on all day & night all 12 episodes. It's on tv now and will be on until 6 am tomorrow morning.
Rox sorry to hear about your school friend :( that's awfully sad.
Peg I love the TB series of books and the tv show is just as good ! Soooo happy that hbo kept a main character alive unlike in the book 2 Dead in Dallas where Lafayettes foot is the toenail polished appendage sticking out of the vehicle. Nelson Ellis was so great in the role that hbo decided to keep him alive and change it up a bit. Never did I think that it would work but now into season 3 I'm so glad they did. He is my favourite on the show toooo funny ! Kiki : >
Crabbie, We love you but we hate the commenting process at your site. I am sure thats why you get so few comments. I read and leave usually. It's just such a f'g process to say just anything at all. And for another comment you have to do the same sh** again, log in etc. Does it have to be like that? rox
But doesn't Harry resemble his uncle Charles Spencer? He is also a ginge and freckly and tall. William was so beautiful when he was younger and looked like Diana, still does but as he ages he is resembling Charles more & more. rox
Harry is a player! Him king? Naw...William is the dignified one, in preparations for being king one day. Harry is just having a ball & enjoying his young life. Do you think Wm will be killed or something? They both fly jets & copters, so its not out of the realm of possibilites! I love this topic! Gotta go home now. No internet at home still. Grrr! xoxo Rox
Wouldn't it be something if Harry ended up king?. Capt. Hewitt failed his Major's exam twice before being unceremoniously retired from his regiment. I think Harry may have his Mom's intelligence though. I like him. He seems to be taking it all well and enjoying his state.
Prince Albert is the other guy that loves his job.
Jar yes Harry is Diana on the inside witty and bright. Willls is the spit of his mom but inside he's a dull boy like his dull dad Charlie boy. Oh and Rox wills sure has that awful receding hairline from charles side. Earl Spencer also has the rhl too but James hewitt and his boy have full hairlines. Only time will tell but I really think that Liz will never give her title to charles not unless it's out of her cold dead hands. Wills will be king for a while with the long succession going to Prince hot ginge ... King Hot Ginge lol ;-))
Haha Kelsey Grammer and His Gross Wife divorcing! Know them both, hate them both, invited to wedding, did not go for personal reasons! Hope his whole life is plagued by misfortune!!! hate, hate, hate him. Only a little more than my mother in law!!! bima
Tia, yes! I remember that story, and part of it was true. In fact, turns out he was dating the mother and she would bring her daughter over. more than letter writing happened there. yuk! he is a pig! I have stories that would turn you blue! seriously, but I can't really post them here. b
Miss Tia ita the queen mum lived to be 101 :) I loved her she was always so cute with her lil self under those big hats all those lovely pastel shades she wore lemon yellow baby blue & my favourite the lilac lavender outfit. She was a living doll. She never missed her daily gin & tonics ;)
Kiki...I don't get that channel---I get BBC America. But I do have them on tape. I got them a long time ago. Our public station used to run all the British programs on Saturday nights and that was my night. My family knew not to bother me on Sat. nights. Another one I liked was Keeping Up Appearences and up until about 5 years ago, I kept up with all the DR. Whos. Light entertainment!!!
Rox, I am so sorry to hear of your old friend's suicide. It's such an empty and helpless feeling to be left in the position of contemplating how this could happen. Going past our neighbor's house on the way home tonight, I still feel the deep emptiness and despair of that act. The rest of the family is moving back into the house, but I really can't imagine what that is like.
Kiki---I adored the Queen Mother, too. It was a sad day when she passed.
I really do believe that Prince Hot Ginge is Hewitt's son. The resemblance is so strong, and he seems to have the same general nature. It would surprise me if the Queen abdicated. I just don't see that happening, at all. I also can not picture Charles as King. Or Wills. I think that in the end, it will be Harry.
I have read SK books over the years, and IT is a pretty good one. For years there was a barge in the Columbia River, visible from the interstate bridge, that had the words "we all float down here" spray painted on the side. Gives me a chill right now, thinking of it. My other favorite was The Stand, but it is very thick. As far as Dean Koontz, The Watchers was my favorite, though I remember one where computers in a California town were reaching tendrils out toward their users. I don't remember the name. Another favorite book series of mine was the Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever series.
Heidi---I am so glad that the water bottles are giving you a little relief! The coming and going of the pain, not knowing when it will strike, and the severity of it, is just crippling. The first doctor who treated me told me to never walk barefoot, as that would inflame the tendons more. I don't remember if the second doctor said something similar or not, but I try to minimize being barefoot, just in case.
How are you doing, Kim? Are you still hanging in there? I'm hoping you are okay, and that your situation gets better for you.
Jane you have Bbc America I have BBC Canada it's all the same channel BBC uk they just call it different names depending which country it's in. My PBS station shows it from buffalo & detroit
KUA is really good Pat Routledge is 81 ! Ever see AYBS ? It's set in a dept store called Grace Brothers and they have a mens & ladies depts a floorwalker ex army capt Peacock. My favourite was Mrs. Slocombe in the ladies dept. Mr. humfries in the mens dept. " I'm free!" that show went on for over 10 years many many episodes were taped and are rerun everyday still. Young mr. Grace had a cameo and always told the staff that they've all done very well. - kiki :)
Kiki...I loved "Are You Being Served"! And there was a spin off from that where the staff inherited a Manor and they lived there. The grounds keepers name was MR. Moleturd! There were many good shows then. Another one was "Good Neighbors". That was the one where the couple decided to become self sufficient and grow/barter everything they needed to live.
You sound like you have cheered up some. I'm glad.

We've had bad storms the last two days so I've been without internet for two days and missed reading you :-(
It looks like we are going to get more today. We need the rain, but not the wind that comes with it.
I am happy today though. SC did win the Nat'l Championship in baseball last night. It's only our 2nd ever!
I leave for the beach Saturday so I can't wait to see my family. It's been since Christmas since I've seen some of them.
I hope you start feeling better soon!

I'm sitting with the fan facing me on "3", and the AC on.... it's 42 Celcius here (37C = 98,6 Farenheit), and it's miserable!

Watching the weather channel, keeping track of hurricane Alex. Worried that the BP Deepwater oil spill is on the east or "dirty" side of the storm, and hoping more oil is not dispersed on shore as a result.
Also following the Russian spy ring arrests on CNN. Apparently the investigation has been going on for decades! One of the astonishing things is that the information they were gathering and passing on by elaborate means is said to have been available on the internet.....wtf?
Also admiring Miss Tia's fabulous cherries and wondering about her Royal Family book collection.The British Royal family? They are pretty fascinatingly screwed up..and German!! I would love to hear more.
DD, Hopefully your virus will quickly run it's course, leaving you relieved and happy. Get well soon!!
yes british royal family.....i can't just toss out tidbits though as i could go on and on and on.....i've actually made a very close friend via this site and they are just as knowledgeable as me about the royal family....it's awesome to family have someone who has the same level of interest and passion about 'em! we talk for hours about the royal family!!!
once i get out of the tub i shall continue my cataloging....
i also discovered i have an elsa maxwell biography that Andre Leon Talley bought and gave to someone called 'The Baron'....inscription dated from 1976......
It is gorgeous out! (doing happy dance)..The humidity is gone. I was able to turn off the ACs and the fans! Woohoo!
What have I done so far?
-Took mile walk with hubs this morning.
-Walked the dogs
-Fed animals
-Watered plots at garden..I got corn tassles!
-Called eye dr to make appt (Friday) to pick up my new reading glasses. I am so happy about this. I have a stack as high as a dogs eye (higher really) of books I have been dying to read.
-getting ready to start the crisp sweet pickles to can. I have enough cukes to make a good batch today.
- and I did some research on my feet...
If it is not one thing it is a fucking `nother.
I have the back surgery. I am feeling great. I am moving, I am grooving, I am walking. I need to cause I gained 30lbs.
Then last month the heels of both my feet started to hurt. They hurt when I first get up in the morning, and when I get up from resting. They stop hurting once I walk around but by the end of the day..my dogs are barking. After some reading i figured out it is probably Plantar Fasciitis. I may have to wear fucking booties!
It can take up to a year to heal! WTF!
I am trying to be healthy and I keep ending up going steps back..
okay okay. I am done with rant..LOL
Tonite is going to be ribs for dinner with home made oven fries and some kind of summer squash recipe.
***Pat, Get plenty of rest. If you had what I had (sore throat, cold, cough, feel like crap)..it can last about a week.
I will be thinking of you!***
found out that my son can't join the marines due to "trace" marijuana in his system. He says he was around people doing it and must've inhaled it (bill Clinton Jr.) . I think it's more like he smoked it and thought it would be out of his system by the time he took the physical. I am so disappointed. I said to him when he wanted to join "you know they do a drug test , right?" , just so I could feel him out on the subject. He said "I know, that's no problem." At first I believed him about being around it. Now today with a fresh mind I think he did it and now he has totally screwed himself. sigh.
Sorry Valle
That was a good banana.
Sorry to hear that you're under the weather, Pat. Hope you recover quickly.
Today is nteresting - the weather is sparkling clear, low humidity (needed an extra blanket last night!), it's my b-day and my son is moving back in after a year on his own.
He's a good kid, has a good job (EMT/Dispatcher, volunteer firefighter), moved out last year to move in with his "honey" who managed to provide him with a whole host of problems including not contributing financially to their apartment living.
Hubs and I invited him back home after they broke up and she moved out. He needs to back on his feet. He's only 23 - it shouldn't take him too long. I want to see him having some fun.
Happy Birthday Cynthia! I hope you have a great day!
~Palmetto Girl
Im not feeling well either! and im at work doing an open to close because only me and two other girls give a shit about this place and our jobs! I am about to fire some people if they keep this shit up! casey J.

Getting ready to go to our lake cabin for the 4th. We bought a SHITLOAD of illegal fireworks this year so it should be exciting! I hope I still have enough fingers left to type when we get back!
Happy Birthday Cynthia!
I am sorry you are not feeling well Casey. :(
Play time with Ava. Went to wal-mart saw some lady around her 70s or 80s looking at K y intense lub. I almost lost it. I guess no matter what your age is your always curious. Other than that just entertaining Ava. I'm having a great time with her. But I have to look for daycares for her soon. So she can be with kids her own age and have more fun.
ps. yes this is ava's mommy stupid blogger will not allow me to log in. I hope you all are doing great enjoy the summer and the 4th take care
I'm depressed have been since the weekend.
I think I will go with Kim :/
dd I'm sorry your sick summer colds suck !
Valle sorry for the bad news for your son.
Contact high is a real thing and will show on
a test.
Jane & Enrique thank you for your kind words
and emails today. Sorry I'm not myself lately.
DD I sent you some Pix I hope you got them.
Avas mommy omg really maybe she was
just looking for some hand cream ?!?!???
Lil Ava will love to go to daycare. She's
gonna three soon or four ??
Happy Birthday Cynthia :)
Tomorow is Canada s 143 rd bday July 1st
kinda like the 4 th of July is to the USA.
Miss Tia is it a royal family uk cookbook ?
They make a cherries jubilee cake over there
I had it once in a London hotel rest It was
very tastey !! Do you have a recipe for it ?
I feel better now that I came online to read.
Thanks everyone.
Kiki
:/
Miss Tia,
Where is the biggest flea market in Ohio???
i have a couple cookbooks that deal with the royal family.....dining at buckingham palace and another one written by diana's chef...oh i have the duchess of windsor's cookbook too.....
you'd probably be able to find that hotel's recipe on the net kiki! there are so many different variations for things within one recipe!!!
vicki---rogers, oh...fridays only AND IT IS HUGE.....it takes us usually about 6 hours to cover it all....
Hope you feel better DD.
kiki,
Sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get to take your town back soon and enjoy it.
valle,
Is he disqualified? most times you can get a waiver for marijuana. The Air Force Para Rescue / Combat Control program is outstanding, and a lot more comfortable than the Marine Corp. Yet we shared a lot of common schools and they deploy worldwide within a small elite circle of soldiers. besides, they get great training that carries over into civilian life, without the arthritic backs and blown out knees that so many Marines end up with. Just a thought for you and him from an insiders point of view and former Marine.
Jarhead
Thank you Tia. I never heard of this. I am looking for something to do this long weekend. Hubs has to work 16 hour days over whole weekend, actually many 16's next few weeks--training someone at work. Was thinking of
hitting the Casinos. Will decide
later.
rogers is only on friday though...i am sort of glad i ain't going this weekend cuz i bet with it being a holiday weekend it will be INSANE!!
if you ever go, get there early!!! i think it starts at 6 or 7am...a lot of people start packing up at 2pm....
I drive a 1972 VW convertible and I thought I needed a new brake job. ARrrhhh.. Well, got out of the mechanic spending only 40 bucks! Just needed a brake adjustment! yeahhh!
bima
Tia, I looked at their website--
reminds me of Shipshewana in Indiana. And yes, it will be insane.
Bima, You were Lucky:)
Took off today, my youngest had dentist, doctor and eye appointments. Trying to get all bases covered before she goes off to college. Grabbed a bite to eat before heading home to weed. Holy crow, have I been neglecting things! Weeding, trimming, cutting down and digging out. It's a beautiful day, but quite hot doing that kind of stuff. Haven't even gotten to the garden yet and don't even get me started on those effing Japanese Beetles! :(
I got a puppy and am sucking big time at training him . . .plus I tripped over him and sprained my foot, fractured the other foot, and twisted my wrist really good/bad . .. I feel like I'm failing at everything :P
Miss Tia,
I also am interested in the royal family...you would definatly know more than me, but I am pretty well read on the subject. Have you ever read anything by Sharon Kaye Penman? You would be interested in her books ... you too DD.
Beth in Seville
Miss Tia, My sister is a huge royal collector. Her dining room has tons of British and other world royalty related items. Including a Charles and Diana garbage can. (doesn't really collect the '77 stuff. Too much out there.) Someone just call the house out of the blue last week to ask if she wanted a scrapebook that her grandmother made about the King and Queens visit to Canada in 1939. It is pretty incredible. Her favorite item is card that was placed in the windows of stores saying they were closed for King George VI funeral. She got it from another person who was just going to toss it out, but thought she might like it. I found a tea cup at a second hand store last year and bought it for her, not thinking anything of it, just that she would like it. Turns out it is a tea cup for Princess' Anne's wedding to Mark Philips that she had been searching for. If I would have know it was that special I would have saved it for Christmas.
She is going to Toronto Tuesday to see the Queen and Prince Philip. (Philip is the only "major" royal she hasn't seen yet. She has seen all 4 "children") She had VIP seating for this event. Last summer Prince Charles spoke directly to her.
She was up early last week to watch Sweden's Princess Victoria (will be queen) marry her "prince charming" who actually called himself the frog prince since he is not of royal blood.
I guess I could talk about it forever too. If you want to see photo's contact me on the facebook group. She has lots of photo's up.
beth---i looked her up and no, that wouldn't interest me...that's fiction.....i only read non-fiction and biographies/auto-bios about the royal family....
twinner---your sister sounds like my kind of people!!! :) Wow! the only memorabilia i have aside from books is a charles & diana wedding tray...a 78rpm recording of edward viii's abdication speech....i have some edward viii, edward vii and victoria stamps....and an Edward vii coin, george vi coin and a george v coin....rest is books.....
oh twinner....the good friend i found via DD's, i just gave her a scrapbook for her birthday....a scrapbook from newspaper clippings during edward viii's abdication and their marriage afterwards (of course i photocopied a few pages!!) fascinating articles!!! they were delighted with it!!!
I put some of her photo's on the facebook group for you. She had 17boxes of books and 4 boxes of breakables when we moved last year. She actually donated 4 boxes of books back to second hand stores due to doubles and un-wanted ones.
She doesn't have very much Edward the 8th stuff. But has a tea cup made after the kings death but before the abdication.
those pix are awesome!! i would love to see her collection in person!!!
thank you everyone for your kind words. Jarhead, I was hoping to get your input,so thank you for that. I posted a question on a discussion board asking about other opportunities in the service and they tried to hang me out to dry. TRIED being the operative word. I told them to kindly bite me.
@ anon 8:40, training a puppy sucks but you will be glad when it's done. I had 2nd degree burns on my foot the week after we got ours and I was the one training him so I feel your pain on that one. Now Jax rings a bell when he has to go out!
DD ~ sorry to hear you're under the weather. Sending healing thoughts your way!
Does anyone here watch british comedies ?
Fawlty towers ?
Kiki
Kiki...sorry you're down. Fawlty Towers will help you to feel better. I never fail to LOL when I watch. No matter how many times I have seen them. They didn't make enough episodes. And I love
"Man-well"!!! The rat episode was so funny.
Kim...we have all been there---so of us more than once.
Valle...I think Jarhead gave some good advice. He is the "go to guy"
for that kind of stuff.
DD...hang in there girl!
I worked a 12-hour shift today. Not too bad, busy and a little weird, but okay.
Pat, I'm sorry that you and Casey J. are not feeling well. I hope this blows over quickly for you. It's kind of you to put up an open post for us to entertain ourselves while you are sick. Thanks.
Hang on, Kim. As the old saying goes, it's always darkest before the dawn. Have you talked to a doctor's office yet? I'm thinking of you, and hoping that you are doing okay. Anxiety is a tough thing to beat. I've had issues for years. I've only had to leave the operating room once, years ago, but that was a tough one to live down. Some of the meds worked well for me, and some didn't. In the past year, I have had some attacks, and have hovered on the brink at other times. There are, however, prolonged times when I am completely free of it, so keep on keeping on, and see what can be done for you. As for the issues with your son and relatives, I know it's a trite old saying, but I use it often for myself. . . this too, shall pass.
Heidi---your symptoms do sound like plantar fasciitis. I had that years ago, and it was miserable. It's something a lot of nurses get due to all the time spent on our feet, and sometimes not in the best shoes. One thing that was soothing for me, was to fill bottled water bottles about 3/4 full or so, and freeze. When you are going to sit down for awhile, grab a bottle and toss it on the floor in front of your chair. Roll the bottom of your foot or feet back and forth over the bottle, massaging the arch and heel. That gave me some temporary relief. I went through two entire courses of therapy with two different podiatrists, and have two sets of orthotics, had my feet taped, later had removable casts, that I would wear with ace bandages to hold them in place every night, got the injections, etc. My feet were considered a hairsbreadth away from being bad enough for the ultrasound "surgery", so I just used the inserts, the ice bottles, shots, etc. and eventually it got better. Very painful while it lasted though. I remember telling one of the doctors that standing up was like having a red-hot poker sticking straight up in my heel. Good luck with treatment.
Kiki---I never see you down. . . feel better soon. I used to watch Fawlty Towers, but it's been a long time ago.
Jane yes I love man well too only 12 episodes.
My favourite one is the olde deaf lady
mrs. Richards. And the way the wife would
talk to her gf and say I knowww oh I know
over & over and drive basil mad !
Thanks everyone I think it will pass. Just a
rough weekend to pick up after the melée.
Sadness has turned to anger and now action.
Christina yes I'm never like this. It's soooo
not me. It's like I took the attack on the city
personally or internalized it. I can't believe how
much I cried over the last few days.
I drew another sketch of a sea turtle tonight
underwater looking at the surface with a sad
look on his lil face as he sees the oil spill
floating above him. I sent it to DD to post.
When you feel better DD no rush. Thank you.
Kiki
:)
ps I watched the first DVD of my fawlty towers
set and you know it is good to laugh and I feel
much better now. They say that " laughter is
the best medicine ". I agree with that olde addage.
Good night everybody.
Happy 143rd birthday to Canada
&
Happy 43 rd birthday to my pal Pam.
July 1st 2010
-Kiki :)
Good Morning DD, Hope you feel better today.
kiki, frimmy, anon camper, I want to congratulate you all on Canada Day. I have a lot of love and respect for Canada when I remember the Juno beach invasion and the sacrifice of so many brave men on D-Day, up to the current wars overseas.
nice drawing kiki. Too bad it's probably quite accurate.
Jarhead
Good morning Enrique :) & thank you.
That lil turtle reps one of many gulf sea
inhabitants that need to break through
the waters edge to surface for oxygen.
The gallant pelicans of LA on the flipside
take the plundge into the gulf in search of
their next meal.
Sadly CNNs J. D. Roberts (exPat ) from
Toronto s heyday on ChumFm called and
we spoke briefly on the summit & at length
on the gulf.
Yes D-day on the beaches @ Juno , France
the countless lives served by our veterans.
I Thank you for your rememberance. -Kiki
Happy Canada Day !!!
Kiki...hope today is brighter for you.
Gulf Update... T.S. Alex is moving the oil to the west. That is not good. Now it will cover La.'s entire coast and on into Texas.
Kiki, I think I need to watch some Faulty Towers!!!
anon camper should be back by now. Hope his trip was good.
Sorry that you are not feeling well Pat :(
Almost school holidays here, son is very excited. We are in the middle of winter so hopefully the weather wont be too awful and we can go out and about (doesnt snow here in Auckland tho so nothing like the winters you guys get!).
Do you remember the pic i sent you of Chloe after she was born back in Feb? she is 4 1/2 months now, the time has flown by!
Not sure how to post a pic here so ill email you a new one.
take care
Liz (from NZ)
ps so sorry to hear about BeeBee's passing, she was a sweet wee thing. x
I know this is shit compared to everything real that's going on, but I'm rather pissed about Wonder Woman's new look!!! Damn it!
Daphne
Christina,
Thank you. I read up on all the different steps of how they try to heal it. I hope it is simple. Thank you for the water bottle idea! I am going to try that today. It feels like I am walking on nails. It was not so bad for the past month or so..but now there is no denying that I need help for a Dr.
I am a bit pissed because our city has a festival/fireworks extravaganza next weekend and I will not be able to attend with these feet!
Another beautiful day out there. Cool and no humidity. Loving it!
Heide,
Have you read "Born to Run"?; it deals with a subject not unlike yours. I am barefoot as often as possible and even jump rope barefoot now on hard floors for 10 minutes. This is after a year and a half of working out barefoot. My feet have gotten so much stronger. No cramps. I can do a ballet toe raise on both feet!- Dad would be proud, he.
Anyway, what kind of books you waiting to read?-
Jarhead
Youngest showed me this video on Youtube.
Emma..the forgotten Gosselin! NSFW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IwbPLg2AYw
Jarhead,
I have been walking barefoot my whole life. After some reading and a few ah hah moments..It is the weight gain from recoup of surgery and then the mile to 2 mile walks I have been doing. Poor tendon is tuckered out..LOL
I have the lastest Odd Thomas book (Dean Koontz), Jane austen Zombie book (i never finished), a couple Stephen Kings I want to re-read (Lisey`s story)and the new one, Morality.
Then I have some older ones I picked up here and there.
Secret Life of bees, Cider house rules, The big over easy and The Fourth bear (both by Jasper Fforde)
There are more but cannot think of them.
All I know is hubs is working this holiday weekend so I have some books to read! YeeHaa!
Jar,
I have not read Born to Run but I did watch a news program about it. I think it is amazing that they can run for 100s of miles with no shoes at all. And the run fast!
I get it. I just have to drop some of this poundage first and heal what I have broken.
Andre' Leon Talley is awesome. I heard he did get demoted at Vogue tho. :( Its the economy. I love his cameo in the 1st SATC movie! I also loove the royals. Any of them. I espcially love the royals in Monaco. I even named my daughter Kelly in honor of Grace Kelly. And it worked out perfectly when she was born on St Pattys Day! I love biography's and anything true about famous people. Any great books I should read? I can check my library for them. xo
Rox
found out a very cool guy I was mad about in high school hanged himself last week out in his garage. He lived in Texas. Dayum, why would anybody do that to their kids? His funeral is here today in our town where his dad still lives in the same house. So sad. Such an amazing guy. Pat, he had the required long hair and tall body. Looked like a rockstar and to me he was, back then! Driving around town at night just to see who was out and about, following a car with someone in it that you wanted to meet! Those were the days. 29 cent gas and all night to burn it up! He was a hawty in his fab brand new blue Charger. Thats how I will remember him, 18 and young & strong. He was 56 last month.
rox
Sounds like a good plan. My brother brought me a Stephen King book ;"It". He said I'm gonna like it, but I've never read a horror book in my life, so I've been looking at it's worn out cover on my desk for a month and debating whether or not to read it. I'm sure a lot of people here have read it.
Maybe it's time for War and Peace Pat!- remember you thought about reading it. I want to find a good book to just read and relax.
MissTia,
You think Prince Harry is Capt Hewitt's son?- He looks just like him!, and nothing like boring square Prince Charles. Harry is a partying cad womanizer fond of horses like his alleged Dad.
Jarhead
The Odd Thomas books are great! I love all of Koontz books. The Frankenstein ones he wrote sucked me in! The newest one just came out, I'm on vacay next week and that sounds like a good thing to do! That's sad about your old school friend hanging himself...there was a guy I went to school with who had gotten himself into drugs pretty bad, he hurt his leg and ended up with a blood clot, he went to the hospital and they wouldn't help him, thinking he was just a druggie looking for a fix, that clot broke and he died sitting in his truck. He was 37. Heidi, I hope you start to feel better very soon!!!! You don't think about how much you depend on your feet until they hurt so bad you can't walk on them. Pat, feel better soon! Jarhead...I <3 you. :)
Daphne
Oh...and Miss Tia....you are STILL the queen. That game kicks my ass. lol
But I ain't giving up!
Daphne
Jar---i totally believe harry is hewitt's son! of course diana said their affair didn't start til like a year after harry's birth, but i doubt that.....he looks exactly like hewitt! To charles' credit though he offered to do a dna test with harry, but harry didn't want too....charles told harry that he loved him no matter his true parentage and that would never change....
OMG! The frozen bottle of water is a lifesaver! It is like nirvana for the heels. I need to freeze two bottles..one for each foot!
It is hell. It does not start all of a sudden. It is a gradual pain that comes and goes. I am at the stage where intervention with the Dr is in order.
Jar..My first SK book was It. My brother gave it to me for Christmas the year it came out. I was a youngin. That book was soooo thick! I did not like to read for pleasure at all. After that book, I was hooked on SK and reading as a whole.
You might really like it..unless you are afraid of clowns. hehehe
I am so glad I found another person that knows who Odd Thomas is. It is a really good character.
If you've never read Pet Cemetery by SK, by all means do. That book scared the shit out of me. The movie totally sucked compared to the book. I'm glad I read the book first.
Anyone here a True Blood fan? I have my boxed set of Sookie Stackhouse books I've yet had time to start. Anyone else read them?
Miss Tia of course he's hewitts son. One look
@ his ginger hair is enough to sway a jury.
Of course Harry doesn't want a DNA test if
he did he would not be a true royal ( lose his
3rd place in line to the throne ) and all that
goes with it never mind the omg scandal too.
Jarhead the best SK book I ever read was
called THE STORM OF THE CENTURY and
ROSE RED both frightfully good !! His latest
DUMA KEY was a bit of a let down compared
to his earlier works. IT was ok but not the scariest
book he's written IMO. Sometimes I think that
Rose Red has similarities to the real life story
of Annie Palmer in Jamaica. Does anyone know
about her ?
DD hope you feel a lil better today.
Jane if you have the BBC channel from the
uk they are running a marathon of Fawlty Towers
on all day & night all 12 episodes. It's on tv
now and will be on until 6 am tomorrow morning.
Rox sorry to hear about your school friend :(
that's awfully sad.
Enrique are your family of owls gone now ?
Kiki :)
Heidi....
When Stormy Llewellyn died...I cried...
Daphne
Mel Gibson has pounded the last nail into his own coffin.
Peg I love the TB series of books and the
tv show is just as good ! Soooo happy that
hbo kept a main character alive unlike in the
book 2 Dead in Dallas where Lafayettes foot is
the toenail polished appendage sticking out of
the vehicle. Nelson Ellis was so great in the
role that hbo decided to keep him alive and
change it up a bit. Never did I think that it would
work but now into season 3 I'm so glad they did.
He is my favourite on the show toooo funny !
Kiki
: >
Crabbie, We love you but we hate the commenting process at your site. I am sure thats why you get so few comments. I read and leave usually. It's just such a f'g process to say just anything at all. And for another comment you have to do the same sh** again, log in etc. Does it have to be like that?
rox
But doesn't Harry resemble his uncle Charles Spencer? He is also a ginge and freckly and tall. William was so beautiful when he was younger and looked like Diana, still does but as he ages he is resembling Charles more & more.
rox
kiki,
Hi. no email still.
I'll start on my Stephen King reading. I remember there was a post about it here many months ago. Thanks for the titles.
I saw one owl briefly on the ground yesterday morning before the rain. Still looking small, but he took off from the ground very smoothly.
Jarhead
no, i don't think harry looks like his uncle at all, aside from the reddish hair...he's a dead ringer for hewitt though....
i sort of think diana is having the last laugh over that.....and i really believe harry might end up king....
Harry is a player! Him king? Naw...William is the dignified one, in preparations for being king one day. Harry is just having a ball & enjoying his young life. Do you think Wm will be killed or something? They both fly jets & copters, so its not out of the realm of possibilites! I love this topic! Gotta go home now. No internet at home still. Grrr!
xoxo
Rox
Wouldn't it be something if Harry ended up king?. Capt. Hewitt failed his Major's exam twice before being unceremoniously retired from his regiment. I think Harry may have his Mom's intelligence though. I like him. He seems to be taking it all well and enjoying his state.
Prince Albert is the other guy that loves his job.
Jarhead
Jar yes Harry is Diana on the inside witty and
bright. Willls is the spit of his mom but inside
he's a dull boy like his dull dad Charlie boy.
Oh and Rox wills sure has that awful receding
hairline from charles side. Earl Spencer also has
the rhl too but James hewitt and his boy have
full hairlines. Only time will tell but I really think
that Liz will never give her title to charles not
unless it's out of her cold dead hands. Wills will
be king for a while with the long succession going
to Prince hot ginge ... King Hot Ginge lol ;-))
Kiki
: >
QEII would NEVER abdicate and those articles alluding to it piss me off.....i wanna bitch slap those writers for spreading mistruths!
Elizabeth might outlive Charles....
Haha Kelsey Grammer and His Gross Wife divorcing! Know them both, hate them both, invited to wedding, did not go for personal reasons! Hope his whole life is plagued by misfortune!!! hate, hate, hate him. Only a little more than my mother in law!!!
bima
bima---remember the gossip about 15 or so years ago about him writing love letters to a 15 or 16 year old girl?? remember that from the enquirer....
Tia, yes! I remember that story, and part of it was true. In fact, turns out he was dating the mother and she would bring her daughter over. more than letter writing happened there. yuk! he is a pig!
I have stories that would turn you blue! seriously, but I can't really post them here.
b
oh i know it was more than letter writing....he's sickening and it got swept under the rug....
Miss Tia ita the queen mum lived to be 101 :)
I loved her she was always so cute with her
lil self under those big hats all those lovely
pastel shades she wore lemon yellow baby blue &
my favourite the lilac lavender outfit. She was a
living doll. She never missed her daily gin & tonics ;)
Jane I hope your able to see the BBC FT marathon.
-Kiki :)
Kiki...I don't get that channel---I get BBC America. But I do have them on tape. I got them a long time ago. Our public station used to run all the British programs on Saturday nights and that was my night. My family knew not to bother me on Sat. nights. Another one I liked was Keeping Up Appearences and up until about 5 years ago, I kept up with all the DR. Whos. Light entertainment!!!
lol @ harry the ginge. I like the term "ginge".it makes me smile.
Rox, I am so sorry to hear of your old friend's suicide. It's such an empty and helpless feeling to be left in the position of contemplating how this could happen. Going past our neighbor's house on the way home tonight, I still feel the deep emptiness and despair of that act. The rest of the family is moving back into the house, but I really can't imagine what that is like.
Kiki---I adored the Queen Mother, too. It was a sad day when she passed.
I really do believe that Prince Hot Ginge is Hewitt's son. The resemblance is so strong, and he seems to have the same general nature.
It would surprise me if the Queen abdicated. I just don't see that happening, at all. I also can not picture Charles as King. Or Wills. I think that in the end, it will be Harry.
I have read SK books over the years, and IT is a pretty good one. For years there was a barge in the Columbia River, visible from the interstate bridge, that had the words "we all float down here" spray painted on the side. Gives me a chill right now, thinking of it.
My other favorite was The Stand, but it is very thick. As far as Dean Koontz, The Watchers was my favorite, though I remember one where computers in a California town were reaching tendrils out toward their users. I don't remember the name.
Another favorite book series of mine was the Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever series.
Heidi---I am so glad that the water bottles are giving you a little relief! The coming and going of the pain, not knowing when it will strike, and the severity of it, is just crippling. The first doctor who treated me told me to never walk barefoot, as that would inflame the tendons more. I don't remember if the second doctor said something similar or not, but I try to minimize being barefoot, just in case.
How are you doing, Kim? Are you still hanging in there? I'm hoping you are okay, and that your situation gets better for you.
Jane you have Bbc America I have BBC Canada
it's all the same channel BBC uk they just call
it different names depending which country it's

KUA is really good Pat Routledge is 81 !
Ever see AYBS ? It's set in a dept store called
Grace Brothers and they have a mens & ladies
depts a floorwalker ex army capt Peacock.
My favourite was Mrs. Slocombe in the ladies dept.
Mr. humfries in the mens dept. " I'm free!"
that show went on for over 10 years many many
episodes were taped and are rerun everyday still.
Young mr. Grace had a cameo and always told
the staff that they've all done very well. - kiki :)
Kiki...I loved "Are You Being Served"! And there was a spin off from that where the staff inherited a Manor and they lived there. The grounds keepers name was MR. Moleturd! There were many good shows then. Another one was "Good Neighbors". That was the one where the couple decided to become self sufficient and grow/barter everything they needed to live.
You sound like you have cheered up some. I'm glad.
