Happy Birthday Twin Viv! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Speaking of b'days...Lizzie - how do you feel now that you are well into your 50's???!
Just buzzing through - working for Mike in the addition today.
Hugs and love to all!

Bean, I think a better name for us would be:

The Kidd Sisters.

Hello everyone.
Viv.Have a fabulous day.

Lizzy..I hope your friends Mum hangs on until after the birthday.I always feel sorry for the families of the dying,it is such a traumatic emotional time.
Brenda..it's wonderful to hear that Lesley is making progress in re-hab and might be home hopefully before christmas.
Tami..I enjoyed the different ending to the wizard of oz.Thanks!
Suzy...good news that you are all better.Happy car hunting too.

Renae has moved into another place,I called around after work yesterday and helped with the last few things and now the unpacking begins again.She starts work today so not much of that will be done until the week-end.At least the beds are ready and the kitchen has food.
Off to do a puzzle or 2,bye.

Morning all!
Nola, both you and Rolanda have been helping your younguns move. It must be that time of year. I was a tad shocked at the time on your post. Do you ever sleep?

'morning all. Just a quick 'drop in'.

Liz, sending warm thoughts and hugs to you and your friend's family. I hope all goes as it is planned to go.

Oops, another belated birthday wish, I fear. dear V Viv! Yummy cakes and flowers to brighten your day!

Here's a different tie-dye avatar. When I saw mine next to Tami's I could see how it might make all of us dizzy. Sorry about that.

Brenda, sending continued good wishes to your friend Lesley! It sounds like she is a fighter - or is it a pirate?

Nola, so glad that Renae & family have completed the move and now just have the unpacking. I don't envy them the work.

Rolanda, good luck with offspring's move. It's a little too far for many of us to help. Have been thinking of your Mum - how is she doing? Hope she's feeling better!

And now, gotta run. Need to think about helping D fling some food. My hubby and hers have been working all week on their deck. The upper level floor is complete & some of the railing done. (Supports for the horizontal portion of railing are on back-order, so only posts & top horizontal are installed.) Steps from upper to lower level are finished. Perimeter to lower level (kind of an octagon, so MANY angles to cut & fit) is nearly done, as well as posts & upper horizontal portion of railing. Then they'll get to work on lower level floor (more angles to be measured, cut & fitted). We head for home Tuesday afternoon, so it will NOT be completed. Hubby is thinking of trying to come back in a couple of weeks to do some more work on it. (Next time, I would stay at home so I can be getting physical therapy & water aerobics classes before the knee replacements.)

Morning SA8,
Happy Birthday Viv, hope it is special.
Not much sleep last night, had to take Possum to the hospital in the middle of the night, gall bladder they think, spoke to him just before and is drugged up. Off to have a shower to try and wake up so I can get some sense from the doctors.
Take care everyone.

Broni hope Possum is diagnosed and treated promptly.
Tami bet you felt good when your mum admitted you were the better cook.
I am helping my brother ans SIL move house tomorrow. I will not be doing much lifting but will use my car to carry lots of boxes.

I have been telling her for years that I am a better cook. She still will not admit it, but she did not try to argue last night. I will take that as her giving up.

Morning folks... haven't had my coffee yet so I may not make much sense...
Too late going to bed last night after a busy day...
Have read but am having trouble remembering what I wanted to say..
Broni gall stones aren't at all pleasant but it is a better diagnosis than most..
Tami I like that...The Kidd Sister...boy I reckon we could stir up a bit of trouble... I am a bit of a devil at the best of times..
Julie I hope you post a photo of the deck... I love to see photo's of those sort of projects..
There is a lot of moving going on at the moment... good luck for an event free relocation everyone...
I have absolutely no idea what else I wanted to comment on!!
Have a good one everybody.

Bean, stirring up trouble is my main hobby, in case you couldn't tell.

TTT...ha ha... what a joke... couldn't tell!!!

♪♫ hi ho, hi ho...and it is off to work I go...♪♫
Catch ya later...Hooroo....

Good maEn everyone! Haven't been by for a couple of days, just lazy I guess!! So sorry!! Hope all is well with everyone. I'll try to be better (I promise!
Bought a new sofa/loveseat last week. It is leather and a seafoam green color...our microfiber sofa looks like it went thru a war, it's only 5 years old! We should get delivery in a week or so!! Can't wait!!
Take care everyone, TTFN!! I'll TRY to be by a few times this week...really struggling with my Mary Kay business.

Sending positive thoughts Possum's way, Broni...been there, done that, I feel his pain!

Evening all!
Broni, I hope Possum is okay and that you are able to catch up on your sleep tonight.

Tami the cook! Yay! I am not a better cook than my mother, and she can barely cook...

Hi every one Hope your all well
Viv I hope you have had a grand day
Broni - I do hope Possum is ok, and the no sleep bit, is fixed tonight.
My girlfriends Mum is still going, they have stopped all the meds including the very strong antibiotics she was on for a nasty infection on her leg, that seems to be nacrotic, poor thing is in a lot of pain, but they have now got her on something stronger, and is very relaxed, thanks for all your support.

Sleep, peaceful sleep ♥

How nice would that be hey Gail

Good morning all! Chilly (in the 30's!), but nice. My in-laws are not used to the chilly weather, they stayed in the car at Ian's game. We did go see Brendan play yesterday and it was a gorgeous day. Brendan played! They lost in double overtime. The stupid ref called a penalty kick in the box. I was taking pictures and had proof that the other team committed the foul, not Brendan's, and the sideline ref was right next to me and saw it too, but he didn't say anything. I think they just wanted to end the game. Bad luck.
Here by myself at the moment. They all went to bring Ian to school. I didn't know they were all going until just before they left. They're probably going out to breakfast.

Viv! Hope this day was everything you hoped it would be!

Liz, thoughts and prayers for your friend.

Tami, Happy New Year! The Oz ending was very funny!

Brenda, glad your friend is improving so much. Continued thoughts and prayers for her recovery.

June, thoughts and prayers for Sharon's recuperation. Can't even imagine it.

Broni, thoughts and prayers for Possum. Hope it turns out ok and you are also able to get some rest.

Can't remember what else. Hope everyone is feeling better and ready for a new day. Have a great one!

Morning all!
Stella - Blasted refs!!!
Tami - Happy New Year!
Broni - hope you and Possum both have better nights tonight. Sounds like a rough one.
Julie and Stella - love the avatars!
Painted the baseboards in the addition yesterday - second coat goes on today. Carpet in less than 2 weeks (hopefully) and we move in!!!
Can't wait.

29 more sleeps for me...I'm getting so excited I could just bust!

Hi all.

Vici...how is the packing going or haven't you started yet?It IS exciting for you!!

Broni...hope you had a good sleep and Possum recovers quickly.
Suzanne..nice to see you calling in.Your new lounge sounds lovely.
Brenda and Rolanda..moving house is so hectic,I'm getting too old I think and don't have the energy anymore.Hope yours was ok like Renae's was.
Suzy..I have had 6hrs sleep last night,I come home and often doze on the lounge for awhile and even though it is broken sleep,I survive.Luckily,Greg does a lot of the housework now that he isn't working which is a huge help.
I have to do the bathrooms,floors and linen change.He is a pretty good cook too.I'm very blessed.

Hi Everyone...Put a smile on your faces and you will find that your spirit and energy levels go up...Its all about attitude so I am told...try it...you might find that it answers a lot of problems...and it sure can't hurt!
Belated birthday greetings Viv...sorry to be late, but I do hope you had a great day!
Broni...hope today is better for both you and Possum, and that all turns out well.
Vici, your plate has been so full for so long, I'll be glad when you go on your trip. I need some rest...your activities in the garden, painting, preparing for the trip, etc..... have simply worn me out...LOL! Have a wonderful time moving into the addition and then the travel...I know when you get "down under" there will be no wucking furries about a good time being had by all! Sure wish I was going to be there too....Yes, I am Jelly!!!!!

Nola, I meant to add that I agree with you ...Greg sounds like a real keeper, and yes you are indeed blessed!
Stella...Ref's...grrrrrrr
Liz....hope your friend's mom will soon find the peace all want for her.
Suzanne...hope your Mary-Kay business picks up soon...its so hard to not to give up, but hang in there....
Tami....Glad you finally feel your Mom has conceded that you are the better cook...but watch out...Bobbie may use that to her advantage somewhere along the line...LOL!

Well,I hope you all have a good day and I will catch you another time.Bye

Morning all!
It's days since we've heard from Heidi.

No more news from Broni about possum. Let's hope no news is good news.

Liz, although it is hard to watch your friend's mother in pain, maybe it's better that the anniversary is not your friend's birthday.

Bean, what makes you think coffee would have helped you to make more sense? ;)

Stella, I think I would have been like the refs... anything to get out of that weather!!

June, please pass on my thoughts and wishes to Sharon.

Suzanne, good luck with your Mary Kay and with your new lounge. I would have loved to buy a leather lounge when we upgraded. Not that I have always wanted a leather lounge, but I saw one I really liked when we were shopping.

Vici - yay!

Nola, I agree with the others, Greg is a keeper! I hope you get some more sleep tonight..you're up early again today.

Mamacita, sending hugs.

Today I am helping a friend celebrate her 50th birthday. A couple of years ago one of her closest friends moved away. She called me a few days ago and asked if I could find a way to make sure my friend would be home at 10 this morning. She suggested a package delivery. So I said that someone had asked me to make sure she was home at 10am as a package that needed to be signed for would be arriving. I said they asked me to tell her as if she knew who it was from she would know what it was. Now my friend's very close friend will show up on her doorstep and say 'I am the package'! A few of us are going to show up a bit later and hopefully we will all go out for lunch.

Good Morning SA8.
Thanks for all your thoughts for Possum he is out of hospital and I now remeber why I hate the place so much, they couldn't find anything so suggested it was acid in his stomach...nup not where the pain was grrrr! He will see his doctor today. Yes thanks got a much better night sleep last night.
No time to comment on everyone must shake a tail feather and get ready for work.
So hugs to all!

I just heard great news on the radio. A local woman travelled to Germany to compete in a dog grooming competition. She won! She is the best dog groomer in the world! (Of the ones who entered the competition anyway)

The same Lions Club that sponsors the group Ally sings with sponsored her trip. What makes her win even more amazing is that she is 28 years old and has been diagnosed with MS.

The sky here looks very eerie. It looks sort of like there is smoke from a fire, but the colour is different, a tinge of reddy orange to it. That's why I turned on the radio - to see what it is. Turns out it is dust from the west. Incredible!

Hello, Friends!

Broni, I hope Possum is feeling much better! Is the diagnosis of gall bladder difficulties confirmed? They can now be removed laparoscopically - just a few short incisions.

Brenda, good luck with helping moving. It's always nice to have an extra vehicle or 2 to transport boxes!

Liz, continued thoughts & prayers for your friend and her Mum!

Nola, your hubby sounds great! Yep, ought to keep him!

Broni, hope more sleep comes your way this evening!

Stella, rotten refs! Yep, sometimes they just want to see the end of the game (paid by game, not time, if paid at all).

Vici, how exciting! Your move-in is within sight, as is your trip down under. We can't wait for all of the exciting pictures & news!

Suzy, great news for the young woman dog groomer! How are your girls - and how is the car hunt progressing? The sky color sounds interesting. I wonder what color the rain would be if it rained through all that dust.
