I have made 3532 in the GT (3533 when this one goes in), surprising really, I thought many many more of my 16,500 posts would have been in here!

Oh Jill - your posts are all lovely supportive COMMENTS!

Ha! I found the kit I had lost - it was Oh So Sugarlicious. I thought it was a Nicole kit.

My new trick is do a word document with the credits written out, for every LO I make.

I feel like I have been away a month, not just 5 days. I tried to read backward, but got lost trying to understand the conversation. I gave up.

I have not scrapped at all this week and don't see a minute to scrap until the weekend. I am using the dreaded vacuum today. If anyone wants to adopt a dust bunnie, let me know. I found a big crop of them under the bed. In fact, I think they might be from Texas; they are huge.

I will be back in full swing tomorrow, but wanted to say hello,

Hope that everyone in your house gets well soon. It is no fun to have that roll through the house. You can keep your dust bunnies as I have plenty of my own.

Not sure I want to know how many posts I made.

You must have been day-dreaming a little while back when this was being discussed, and the list of users and their numbers was even posted here! Or... ...perhaps your bloomers were in a knot and you were trying to straighten them out. From what I've seen, that could take days!

Man-child is at the barn. I told him that if he got into a problem, NOT to call me that I would not take any calls from him. I reminded him that there was no way he could make this plumbing problem any bigger. I told him to think it through and make the repair.

I shoveled but you can't tell because more of the white stuff is coming down as I type.

I have one hour and 15 minutes now. The kitchen and the loft are the only areas of the house that remain trashed and can not be hidden behind a door.

I really don't want to deal with that kitchen. The boys cleaned it after dinner last night. YIKES!




It's really bad....

someone please help me????



Please?

We didn't know all the dangers at that time. Now I cringe! He was a pharmacist, for gosh sakes! He had been a smoker since he was 14 or 15 until the day he died a week after a stroke. My son took him outside of the nursing home in a wheelchair whenever he wanted a cigarette. We had Hospice and they said to go ahead...what would it hurt at this point except make him suffer needlessly.

Now I would give ANYthing if my son and son-in-law would both quit. My son keeps trying but not my SIL.

Hey Laura! Are you busy this weekend? The kids want to head back to the beach again!

Glad you are on the mend, Rosie! Hope DH gets over it soon, too!

We have enough animals (read:KIDS) running around here without adding Texas-sized dust bunnies to the tally! Thanks for the offer, though!

I did NOT know this, and I thank you for the information!

[DixieMama]

Thank you everyone, for your love & congrats on my chattyness & new title!

I have posted 1152 times in this thread...I thought for sure the number would be higher! So, where did my other 3800+ posts go?

[Leslie]

Hells bells WW matey!

Maybe we could start a GT household tips column. I will start with - when you have made your cappuccino and you then drip it all over the kitchen floor, check to see if you are wearing black socks, and then walk over the drips. Repeat until they are gone.

This household tip was brought to you be a member of the GT.

I do this, even when my socks are NOT dark!

[Leslie]

Oh I laughed so hard last time I did that , cause I was actually wearing black socks! Um, usually, I'm not!
