"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Oh gross Izzie...Don't be surprised if the pool is closed. They usually have to shock it after a find like that. And it takes 24 hours I think. Ew is right.

S pooped in my friends pool when he was 18 months old...(his swim diaper leaked) I thought I was going to die of embarrassment. Poor little baby couldn't help it...but it shut us down for the night. All the bigger kids were complaining...our evening at the pool was shot! Nothing like poop in the pool to totally ruin a good time.

I have to go to Walmart. I hate that. But - I can go with no kids. That NEVER happens. wow.

Best wishes for a good day to you all...

hugs,
Missy

Eeeewwwwww --- I can just imagine S-boy's face.


Quite a story, MizIzz.

Tell him I want to hear his version of it next week. Something tells me he'll be regaling us with stories during our ride.

I had a great night's sleep under the stars. Today is simply gorgeous. I'm taking a couple hours off this afternoon, pulling up one of those chairs and burying my nose in a book! My goal of the day is to be as relaxed as hamburger's pup.

I hope the rest of the crew has a lovely, lovely day.

Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww! A poop story! Ah, love your stories tho, Izzie girl - even if they are of the gross nature!

Just here for a bit today methinks. Gotta do some stuff around the house, get a shower & go to dinner at my monster's - which I don't wanna do, but gotta do every once in a while. <sigh>

Y'all have a great day and stay away from the brown trout!

Sorry, Ima bad boy...

Thanks, Rock.

What a great movie...hilarious clips. I LOVE Bill Murray.

Hi and heartfelt thx for all the additional PMs, advice, thoughts and love. Everyone has said something special that has helped me.

Thx for keeping me afloat, you wonderful bunch.

I've decided to write to my son this weekend, coolly setting out my view of what's going on in his life and why - and why I think he should take a break before making any more major decisions and then I can do no more.

I won't be confrontational but equally (following FQ's thought) I will be true to myself.

Loved the recent pics of the amenities on deck! See you all there next time the sun comes out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ok

WV...I hope it goes well for you - my thoughts are with you as you do it. Hugs to you hun.

I brought aboard a selection of pillows for the deck chairs ...

enjoy !






everyone has been working so hard being the best moms, friends, sisters, grand-dads

Here in complete support of you, wv. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

That's so coo, Beth! and thanks for the pillows!

Hi, mis-! Hi all!

WV - Thenk you for the PM - Sorry I am unable to PM you yet - still a new girl on the block - My thoughts and prayers are with you - I really believe that any values and standards that we set our children will come back to them at the times of need and when they have moved through their rebellious stages, so stay strong in your belief that he will turn around and you must be consistent in your approach as all kids, however old , need to know their boundaries so that they can come back into society and security whenever they choose. Letters are good, because they can detach some of the emotion, so BE TRUE TO YOU and remember , we are only human - Big hugs to you WV.

Dutchy - thanks for your thoughts - I am so ready to hit Florida - happy days!!!!

Sis - I am on my way to be nearer to you - Love you - and I can imagine S today - really laughed a lot - Nasty poo!!!

Mis - You are fab!!!!! - love you girlie!!

To the rest of the crew - big hugs

FQ

HA - ROCK - that was good. Terrible sense of humour. Love it. Week today hun

So… didn't go to the poop…. Pool today. Took the kids to Lazer something….. and then out to lunch. Been taking it easy thisavo - wee bit tired.

WytVi - writing is good - it's actually quite cathartic too…. May take you a couple of takes to get the wording… but good plan hun. Sometimes - even hearing someones voice when you feel annoyed with them, is enough to set the conversation off to a bad start and disastrous end… writing is good. Well done girl. Hugs to you. Xox

Aha - Bethie - fab malfouf - oh, could you see us on the deck with them a? How coco would that be? Love the pillows too - tho… may have to take them back with me - colours of FQsis bedroom at new Chez Izzie and the room needs some pillows. Can you send a pillow fluffer over too… (smiling!) Hope you are having the best time with you and yours - love you girlie xox

Queenie - how's you today? Did you sleep girl? Thinking of ya - and hugging ya big. Xox

Missy - how did G-baby do today - did he get off alright? He'll be tired when he gets home - so much new stuff to take in and learning how to fit it and be a big boy. Hope all went well - hope you have enjoyed your time to yourself and relaxed a little. Xxx

JPB - S doesn't top talking….. yap yap yip yop yap yip yap yop. Can't think where he get's that from. He's brought his music over…. Hope you like a singalong - (he's into Dr.Hook right now…. OH MY!!!!!!! but his fave is NICKELBACK - YAY YAY YAY!)


SIS - not long now - wish we were gonna be together - but know you will have a great time in FL - oh hun - MOZZIE SPRAY…… you'll have it worse down there methinks….. and lotsa suncream - did you get tango'd recently. :wink: Hope so. You'll be Florida Orange. Love it. Love you. Let me know if there is a landline there and I can call you - but won't call the mobile k. Txt me when you arrive. Oh….. ear plugs for the plane - you know how loud K is….. OH MY! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!

Wishing everyone a great evening - will be here a little later - meant to be going to a birthday bash at the park with a WIFFLE BALL - WTH … who knows! And then to the neighbours pool. Very tired right now tho…. So may not make the park. Kel and the kids leave for Lake Tahoe in the morning so really want to spend time with her this evening. She's not back from work yet - and she hasn't started packing - sheesh, she works sooooooooooooo hard. She's tired too.

BEAgle / Blue - miss you both. xx

So….. catchy'all later. Lovin you x

Talking of mozzies - just stepped outside - darn blood suckers just got me good on the ankle - TWICE.......














aaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh - hydrocortisone stocks and shares are going up with me in the US.

we do have mosquito repellent in the US...

heh! So, one week from today I'll be meeting up with MizIzz in Tulsa and taking her on a tour of parts of Oklahoma and Kansas. Tour guides come in handy when one travels. Now, if I'd ever been to either of these places that would be a good thing. BUT, I know how to read a map, call for help as needed, and have a heck of a good time in the process.

We're going to have a blast, Izzie. And, I want to hear all of S-boy's stories.

Izzie; pick up some Afterbite at the drug store.



Better yet; stop at a sporting goods store and buy something with a very high concentration of Deet. Contrary to popular rumor; there is virtually no evidence the stuff is harmful in any way shape or form... and last I checked, it was recommended by the CDC because insect bites are NOT recommended. This stuff is as good as it gets:

Thanks both.....

yep...got the goods...



(can someone let the bugs know)


am dabbing and spraying... just wish the mozzies realised they weren't supposed to come near me! Will look for the Ben's, Bill - thanku. (rather large welt on ankle now )



So yep, the JPB and I are gonna be cruisin' along - how happy is that? As Noddy would have said.... "times of change, new beginnings" - well, as always - she was right - and I can't wait to meet with people I love and care about here. Wish I coulda got to Alabama and Chi-town - but I will - and soon.

(Decided not to go to the park tonite... the kids have gone but I'm waiting for Kel to come home.)

Do so. That 5% Deet stuff you bought will only be slightly more effective than shaking a dinner bell. :wink:

Will go in search tomorrow - thanks hun xox

Hey-ho! Back from monster's. It was what it was. Watched Olympic opening ceremonies. Anyone catch it? Phenomenally spectacular show that!

Yeah, Iz-, I'm gettin' sleep - in fits in starts through the night. If I let myself I could sleep most of the day. Will probably sleep in tomorrow. Feeling the need to 'pick my life back up' - get cleanin' & other stuff, just not majorly motivated to do so!

Hi all. Yeah, Iz-, get you some of that stuff. That oughta help. Good idea, Bill!
