Gail, nothing sinister going on between Tami and me. She just just had prior knowledge that I was planning another holiday. So I am on a countdown to a holiday to FLORIDA hopefully will be able to meet up with Tami

Brenda, remember I am a troublemaker. I like the fact that Gail thought something "sinister" was going on. I am sure we will find a way to meet up. You are going to be 20 minutes away.

Tami I wondered who would be first to ask what my countdown was for. I am too excited to keep it a secret for too long!

Sorry I missed your call on Skype I am trying to peel onions to pickle. Not doing too well, got 10 onions peeled and I'm crying so much I have to stop for a few minutes.

Good morning everyone.
Brenda...don't you just hate peeling onions!!
WOW,you are off to Florida.How long for,where are you staying now that the secret is out.

Mama...I'm glad you are feeling able to cope with recycling Sully's clothing.Big hugs to you,it must be very hard.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all Dads in Aussie!
Greg is going to Renaes for lunch.
The boys came over and had a feast of mulberries off the tree.Wish I could put the pics up for you to see.Purple hands and faces...what a mess.

Nola I hate peeling onions and have a 10kg sack to do

Going to Florida for just over 2 weeks and staying mainly in Pompano Beach with my husband's cousin.

How fantastic for you...have you been to Florida before.?
Don't envy you peeling THAT many onions.

Never been to any where in the USA before, apart from Minneapolis airport waiting for a connecting flight to Canada

Bet you are very excited and I'm sure you will have a great time and hopefully catch up with Tami.

Brenda... are you going to be able to meet the Beastie Boys? They are a blast! Fantastic kids!

everyone. I'm not sociable today. I've been worshipping the Porcelain God. The only good thing about being sick is that I am actually losing weight! I've gone down 1 clothing size since I was in Florida!

Thats the only consolation to being sick Heidi.Gee,it has gone on for a long while.You must get better soon!!!

Yesterday, I did a prat fall. I was walking along, minding my own business, and had to step over a Collie. At just the wrong second, she jumped up, tripping me. I landed HARD on one knee, wrenching one shoulder and my neck. I cannot turn my neck in either direction, and have a nasty headache. I've taken some ant-iinflammatories and some pain killers.

Good mAen everyone!
Heidi: I have one thing to say: OUCH!! Get better soon!! I am so clumsy, I trip over cracks in the sidewalk!
Hi to Nola, Brenda, TTT, and everyone else. I finally got a decent night sleep (and ANOTHER new humidifier!). Seemed to help, allergies still bad, winds blowing alot, so I put the a/c back on. I don't like having the a/c on much, when the house is closed up, I get claustrophobic!
Got ffuts in the spinny thing, better check on them, TTFN everyone! Enjoy the weekend.

I have to run too.Glad you had a good sleep Suzanne.Catch you all later.

Good Morning SA8
forgot to mention grandie #2 is in the oven.

Morning all!
I know I am going to forget something this morning and there are so many big things to remember I've decided I will definitely be scrolling...

Congratulations Broni, when is the big day?? Are we going to have a guess the weight contest??
Brenda, I was not going to be the one to let out the secret, but I am glad you did. For the rest of you, Pompano Beach is about 15-20 minutes from me depending on traffic. I am not a good organizer or I would try to arrange a BrendaBlast. If anyone else wants to do it, I will help.

Mamacita, my thoughts are with you though I think your difficult task is probably completed by now. A tough time. Thank goodness for thoughts and memories as our loved ones never truly leave us.

Brenda, I wished I'd asked when I wondered! It would have saved me days of curiousity!! That is so exciting! WOW!

Broni, CONGRATULATIONS!!! When is grandie #2 due? How long to you have to wait impatiently? Going back to capitalise some things....

Heidi, feel better soon. There are easier ways to lose weight you know!

15-20 minutes from you! That's nothing! Fantastic!

Nola, I love mulberries off the tree! I've even thought of planting one except I know it will be forever until I actually get any berries.

Heidi, I'm surprised you don't have more falls like that one with all of the dogs in your house! I hope the pain is temporary...

Brenda, all I've seen of England is Heathrow airport.. snap!

I know I've forgotten something but I can't find it. It has been a big news day today

Heidi, hope you are feeling better soon. Rachel gets under my feet at times and it is a miracle I have not tripped over her yet.

Broni, congratulations on your news. How long have you got to do some knitting?

Thanks Tami, Zusy and Brenda, Brea is 6 weeks so late April next year according to the doc. Brenda, I might get my friend Teresa to do some knitting, she has taken it up since she gave up smoking.
Mama, thinking of you. It will be 2 years tomorrow for me and there are still some things I cannot part with.

I have just posted 2 pictures on my page from the wedding. You will actually get to see me with make-up on and in a dress. Did I mention that I had exactly 20 minutes to get dressed after we got settled in our room. We had a few minor problems that, of course, I had to solve.

Hi everyone - hope all is well -
Mama - I wish I could recycle Lenny's clothes, I keep coming up with the excuse that I plan to make a quilt, but now almost 7 years later, still in a box in the garage, just can't face it.

Broni ---- YEEE HAAAAA Baby number ?
Nola + Brenda not sure if it works, but always been told when peeling onions, put some bread in your mouth, sounds weird I know, but try it..
I know there is heaps more I wanted to comment on ----- but please excuse me I had a big night last night and the hang over NOT GOOD.
Girlfriends took me out for my up coming 50th birthday next week, gave me 3 lovely pressies
a bottle of Chandon cuvee riche, a bunch of beautiful flowers and a voucher for a massage enough to cover 3 hours worth, oh my god could use it right about now, might be a good cure for the hang over haha.

Lizzy, sorry you are not feeling well. I hope the party was worth it. Sounds like you had fun.

Broni, your day yesterday sounded wonderful. I bet your grandie is becoming a right bruiser.

Brenda, how exciting for you. I'd definitely be counting down too. How long are you going to be in the States and where else are you going?

Brenda, if I had read on a few more posts I would have answered the above question! Please ignore.

Oh Heidi, you are in the wars! I feel your ouchies. Ah, wonderful drugs! Keep your fluids up whilst worshipping, don't want you getting dehydrated on top of everything else.

Happy upcoming Birthday Liz. Hope we can get together soon for a (note-ONE) drink to celebrate your 50th.

Broni, congratulations on the impending. Hope grandie #1 isn't too put out when 'it' arrives.

I always put a toothpick between my teeth when peeling onions. That way, it keeps your mouth slightly open and breathing through your mouth does not allow the onion vapours to get in so badly.

Good morning friends!
Have a very happy birthday Liz! :D
Heidi, hope you're better very soon - you've really had a rough time lately!
Tami, the wedding photos are lovely! :)
Gail, just imaging you with the toothpick ...
Broni, congratulations on grandie No 2, and Brenda, have a great holiday!
:)

The picture is easier to imagine if you replace the toothpick with a piece of straw Judy!

Gail... That is great advice on peeling onions. I find that peeling them under running water keeps the vapors away, too.

Now my whole body is in agony. I suspect that it's connected more with worshipping the porcelain god than it is with falling over a collie. I don't think my body is fighting off bugs very well right now. I went to lay down for an hour at 2 pm, and slept over 8 hours. When I awoke, I felt like I had been beaten over every inch of my body with a baseball bat.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Hi All...Heidi...you must keep folks that beat you while you sleep out of your house....Sorry...hope you are soon feeling better.
Broni...Hang in there girl...I know the feelings...but keep your eye on the prize of grandie#2...congratulations
Dizzy Lizzy...there is no time table....when you are ready, it will be soon enough...Slow down on the celebrating just a tad....we want you to remember the fun...not feel the pain.....and always drink a couple of glasses of cold water when you first wake up...helps me...btw, I too find that peeling onions under running water helps keep the tears away.
Brenda...what a wonderful trip I hope for you...wish I had known ahead of time..perhaps I could have come to Florida then too...but now my money needs to be replenished first....always something.
I have now sent nine bags of Sully's things out to others...hope they wear them in good health, there is still a bit more to go that will wait ...it was hard, yet good in many ways...Sully was always after me to do just what has been done, so I feel that I have continued to honor his wishes...Hold fast to the love, but let the things go he often told me...and that's been done! Peace for now....see you on the flip side.

Mamacita... I like to think that Sully is helping others who need a little hand up right now.


Now back to bed. The aspirin and methadone are helping with the body aches a bit. I'm hoping that this is just a 24 hour bug.

Heidi, like your thinking, most of JD's stuff went up North to the Aboriginal communities, have a friend who does a trip twice a year. BTW think it was the porcelain god and the collie adventure, you have been using muscles you do not normally use. Body Hurt Ouch!
