First Word -

Turnips

Nightmare

Sometimes feel I'm living one.

Animals are a lifeline - love them unconditionally.

Can't say 'poor' Kia -she's lucky to have found you. Wow - brave of you to overcome your fear of needles for her. She looks very beautiful - I bet she repays you time and time again with all her loving.

Sounds as if you deserve the holidays you're planning. Busy busy bee! Too old at 50 - never! 50's the new 25 - why not?

Danny's a brave warrior - the eagle soars and soars!

Sturgis - why turnips? Yes, as FS says, soon Saturday -----

UNIVERSE !!!!!!

Oh if ever I feel that I'm living a nightmare, I shake myself up and search for the positive... I hate nightmares

Thanks Vonny, I feel I get all the sick ones or am destined to be there, right at their time of passing lols.. It has always been that way... Dunno why... She understands the medicine, what she understands the most is "oh, there it is, the needle, that means my food is about to be served, ".... D's dog, (Ruby) just went through 6 months of chemo... Off course ,Missy had a liver problem and stroke, and the wabbit, fur balls and my last cat, bless him, one minute was drinking milk happily next, crawled on two legs frothing... Internal..... Kissed me before I handed him over, to the vet, due to his pain........ Probably why I never had kids Couldn't look after all these now could I ....

Gawd, I definately don't feel 50 this year, if Elle can pull it off, so can I But, yes, I so deserve a holiday.... Who will look after everything, is the question ....but, I will find the answers.

A0K.. Keep laughing over that... OK ... Mr D.. OK...

Saturday, ahhhhhh Open Inspections, must put sales hat on....

Velvert

That's right Velvert. They were adorable red velvert hearts and there were thousands and thousands of them. Never did figure where they came from. Were they from the Alma Matthews House or were they from Hudson Guild or were they a hobby of the Rabbi and his wife downstairs or the outcome of cheder children not interested in their studies who decided they'd instead make these red velvert hearts? Were they meant for patients at the hospital with the nuns where they took us when my sister smashed her head into the lamppost on 2nd Avenue? (she was probably trying to avoid a math or history test)

They were everywhere. Even the stuffed rabbit with the scratchy wool outfit had a red velvert heart shaped tongue.



We moved away from there where it all began but the hearts followed us around.


Red. I was intrigued by their color. It was an odd red and I have a shirt of that same shade now. I also have 1 remaining Aladdin's lamp with a red shade.

Velvert. Velverty soft almost like velvet but not real velvet, more of an almost flannel. Hmm...maybe they had once been worn as flannel shirts of lumberjacks or stevedores.


the password is Velvert. Remember we are on red velvert hearts and this is not about Velvert Turner or Jimi Hendrix...unless of course someone wants to take things in that direction.

Infinity

and beyond!

Sometimes the positive eludes one totally. But there is always light at the end of the tunnel - or so they say! Just seems a very long tunnel sometimes.

But on the bright side - animals. Whatever problems they bring, they always bring joy. A budgie with feathers dropping out - found in awful circumstances, a kitten with a deformed hip who grew into a beautiful cat, a puppy thrown out of a car in a cardboard box, a gorgeous yellow Labrador with agoraphobia, Megan with her genetic allergies, and Harvey with his dysplasia. There were a couple of dogs without health problems - but they were the ones bought from breeders. The rest of the animals were rescued, and we never regretted getting them for one moment. Maternal instincts all used up on animals ..... I see puppies or kittens and I get broody!

Having one's pets looked after is always a problem. Have some hospital appointments coming up and worrying that we'll have to leave Megan for any length of time. Guess we'll have to get a friend to look after her - but she frets!

Good luck with your sales. Hope you meet your targets.

Sturgis - what on earth ......

Well thousands of them will make you want to own the colour and the word

First..........

Tunnels.

Or a road that has to be walked down to the end, we keep walking...........

Animals.

Seems you are much like me. Rescue any animal that walks in our paths... Broody for them not so much little munchkins I can give them back to their Mum....

Day OFF today, must relax, read, not work.. NO WORK.. Well after I send off this Contract via email DK.. I have no targets, just sell, sell, sell and start again... I love what I do.............all-be-it, I need A DAY OFF

Personal Pets
Found the above thread yesterday - wonderful photographs - surprised that none of yours were on it! Why do some threads just peter out like Personal Pets did? Would have thought lots of people were interested in seeing pets' pictures.

Hope you are managing to switch off on your work free day! Not easy!

I think there is a dog thread as well....

I guess, I'm still finding my way around here lols... So many threads, plus Danny kept me in the games section pftttttt

Have you tried photobucket yet?

YET........

I did, I read, I went to the shops and spent a fortunate on good vegetables/fruit and savorys and then went to the beach and read some more yay!!!

YAY

Guess it's Y today

X-Rays

I haven't tried photobucket yet - need to get my photos off disc and onto my computer before I even start what looks like a complicated procedure to post them on A2K! One day ........

Still trying to get used to the games section - keep doing things wrong.

Your beaches look wonderful. I googled Adelaide today and had a look round - much larger than I'd imagined. Only paid it a brief visit, but liked it lots - will visit again soon!

Well in the meantime, I will post some pictures

Little ol Adelaide, South Australia, the City of Churches

Such a busy week, must take time out tomorrow and also play on the games, here, there,

It looks very beautiful - both the city and the beaches. Wonderful picture of the sunset.

Do you have any more photos of your pets or garden? Love to see them if you have some. Always great to look at other people's albums, even if I'm not clever enough to work out how to put any on myself (yet!).

I hope you've managed to find some 'me' time in which to rest and get a bit of R&R.

Spendius and Spades have disappeared again!

Did I say Spendius - meant Sturgis!!!

Mmm, I will have to dig and take more as well, be back with those

FIGHTING

lol's spendius/ sturgis I used to get those two mixed up myself

I'm a work a holic Vonny, my own creation, fault ............................

WINNING

Looking forward to the photos!

Being a workaholic isn't a bad thing - means you can probably multi-task, and that's always a useful thing! Prevents boredom! But it does mean that it's hard to switch off and do something relatively restful - like watch tv without doing something else at the same time! Do you find that's the case?

I wish Dutchy was back - amazing how much I miss him, even though my acquaintance with him was of short duration. He really was the glue that held things together, wasn't he. Everything seems to be suspended while we wait - or is that just my over-active imagination? You must miss him enormously - you seemed to have a special bond with him.

DUTCHY!!!!!!!

Will find some

I've always been a workaholic. But, also because I love to do different things, I can't sit still If I am not working, I am watering, cleaning, shopping, anything, though I have now started a book Yep, I will watch TV (I love raymond) current affairs, x factor, my kitchen rules.... sometimes during commercials I check my mail lols.

Dutchy...

I don't know how to describe that man.. The Boss Takes everyone new under his wing and lets them feel safe? Then chases them around the Forum, with his wit, every day and makes them laugh.

Because of the diabetic and the time Dutchy gets up, we've always PM'd daily, morning and night and sometimes during the day, sometimes funny jokes or pictures come my way whilst working.. He would forget I work the hours I do But the bond most definately over what 18 months now? Sheez almost, time flys... We've had coffee once a month for a few months now, and I managed with a broken rib, to visit him and Anna on his birthday... A very special bond. It's hard for me to be here, in a laughing spirit if that makes sense, but I shall get myself there again

Mr Dutchy is doing really well... I suspect 7 or do days time, he's start doing the normal recovery...

I've updated Ms Izzie and with her talk today, I am betting there is a little more good news too....

Sometimes people come into your life for a "lifetime"...

It is really great to hear Dutchy is doing well!

Grumpy, confused, but doing great

HURRAH!!!!!!

What wonderful news - so good to hear that Dutchy is on the mend. He certainly made me feel welcome when I crossed over from the crossword puzzling side to the Yabber-Liner, First Word, and so on. And his quick witted repartee really made me laugh - such a warm and intelligent man. Not surprised you are so close to him and to Anna. Can't wait for him to get back and re-commence what sometimes feels like the battle of the sexes (lol You're right - he does like to feel he's boss of us girls!!!

You and me both - I find it very hard to sit still - have television on as moving wallpaper whilst I'm on the computer, reading or doing crosswords - unable to concentrate solely on just one thing. Grasshopper mind!!! X Factor - I guess that's the Australian one? I watch it too - both UK and USA versions.

A book? That sounds interesting. My curiosity is piqued!

My mind is always in overdrive - I wake at 5 or 5.30am every day. Have to quietly read. Husband and dog fast asleep till I wake them at 6. Hate the necessity for sleep - but need it, alas.

Looking forward to more photos.

AWAKE!

Mr Dutchy, .... I wonder, if he realises that sure he has alot of "friends" here, but actually, what they think of him, like a beautiful, helpful soul.. I bet he does not

I also wake at 5 every day now, which is bizarre.. With my work load, I often have a nanna nap at 49 (giggles), also because I have 20% disability down one shoulder so at some point, my arms go no way!!! No more work woman

Oh Vonny and he is so fast at his wit and the games, it's hard to keep up lols.

I like James Patterson's books. It's the closest in my opinion to "true crime"... which I like as I like to get into the phsyc of how these people think. Weird, maybe. Physcology interest, definately .

Grrr, tried to upload a couple on photobucket but my computer is really slow I suspect I have to much on it lols and need to load some down onto disk and free up memory. Another time mam... I shall try again
