Maybe now!

Yeah, I got a TOPP!

She's in her early 50's, so her age is makes it a bit easier for her to heal. But, she's had so many surgeries in the last couple of years, I'm sure she feels like a pin cushion at times.

At least the manufacturer is paying for everything. The first one was well over $100,000.

Congrats. I can't seem to get back into watching the numbers.

Becky, the story is a long one. My brother's ex-wife is taking him to court to try to get him arrested. Several years ago, she cheated on him. He tried to work it out, but she wanted to be with the guy. He gave her the house and everything else(against advice by everyone) because he didn't want to disrupt the lives of his 3 kids. Last year he lost his job and the judge put it on record that he abandoned his family and was a lowlife. He had been paying his ex-wife $4,000 a month, but she never paid the mortgage or bills she was supposed to with the money. The house went into foreclosure. The judge blamed my brother and ordered him to pay 500,000 for the house and 8,000 a month to his ex-wife(for the rest of her life unless she remarries) or he would be put in jail. EW bought another house with her boyfriend and works.(my brother was living in his car) The order was ridiculous. But he found another job and paid ew 45,000 in October. He lost his job in November (he's a stock trader) and she petitioned to put him in jail on Dec 1st. It was postponed until today. His new attorney found out that the judge was good friends with his ew's mother. The original orders should never have been given nor should he have put that stuff on the record. The attorney is trying to get everything thrown out. It's a mess to say the least!

The EW is a cow!

Sorry, not really here, sposed to have gone to bed an hour ago but this thing has me hooked!

Had to comment about that woman though. Sending vibes of justice to your brother Stella.

Nite!

I don't usually pay attention to the numbers but Heidi posted about them so I just read about it. Wow, didn't realize that hips were so expensive!

I should get moving since the boys will be leaving, I assume, by lunch time. I have to run to the store, but that requires a shower and brekkie first. Nice chatting with you Becky! It's not often I run into people here.

Good night Gail, sweet dreams!

Boy, she sounds like a real piece of work.

Can the new atty. petition the judicial review board to get the judge taken off the case and reprimanded? A judge here was taken off the bench and almost lost his licence 'cause he did that in a child custody case.

Hi, bye Gail. Hope you get a good night sleep.

Bye Stella, I have to do almost the same. Gotta go to the grocery.

Thanks for the chat and hope to catch you later.

HI and Bye to Becky and Stella and Gail.

Stella, cannot believe what happened to your brother in court. well, I can, I have seen some terrible things come out of our justice system, but this is a bit much even! I do hope he gets everything reversed. I have heard from so many about these women who can get almost anything through a court during divorce. If I tried half that, I would be under the jail, how do they do it?

I am waiting to see if I must report to jury duty about 75 miles away! District Court, not in our county, but state capital. I have this code a phone I must call to see status, when it is closer to the due date. Hope I am way down on the page and they do not need me! I had to fill out a 9 page questionaire, many of the questions usually asked by attorneys in picking a jury. Guess they are trying to weed out the ones the attorneys could object too?

Pardon my lack of manners! Good Morning Sudoluland!



coffee is on, have a cup and sit a while.

I must be off to do the dreaded ffuts, so, take care and enjoy your day/night.

Hugs to all!

Everyone for the birthday wished for IH. I passed them on to him and he was both astonished and thrilled.


all. I have yet to read any posts I missed overnight, but will as soon as I make my brekky.

Stella! Your brother's EW is such a lowlife!!!!! The judge that did this to him needs to be removed from the bench permanently. I really hope that his new lawyer can fix this. How about using the press? Tell his story to a reporter. You wouldn't believe how fast things can get fixed once there's public outcry.

The 5 finches that I bought yesterday will be here on Monday of Tuesday. They're flying up from Florida (on a plane, you silly people). I have to pick them up at the airport in Louisville. The first 2 I bought won't be here until late in the week.

Good Maen all and weekend to our DUGs!
Heidi - don't know whether to call your place a dog house or a bird house! What I do know is that it must be a colorful place!

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Troublemaker!
So fun to celebrate these occassions with everyone here! Hope you guys have a special weekend planned.

I'm getting CRAFT disease, too! Thanks, Vici...

Happy Anniversary to Tami the Troublemaker and her loving Hubby.

Vici.... I think of it not as a dig house or bird house, but as my own small Zoo.

D.....O.....G, not dig.

Glad you were amused by my YouTube, Stella. Pheasants can be so fun.

My God Heidi! No wonder you are a birdaholic! The birds in your youtube were magnificent...
indeed you have a colorful home!

I was going to do my workout, but now I'm just bumming around...that's what happens when I don't make myself get right on it first thing in the morning.

Rola - book club was great...like I said, our read "The Book Thief" was fabulous. Great characters, lots of warmth and color despite the backdrop of WWII Germany...and the best part, Death is the narrator. What a character that Death is!

I was planning on heading over to the horse trainers today to drive my Gypsy Vanner. Unfortunately, he's sick, and the Vet said to give him a week off from training.

OH NO, HEIDI, sorry to hear you have a sick horse today! Hope Gypsy gets better and very soon.

I am trying to get s tiny bit of sewing done, but I had to clean out sewing room first. all Christmas stuff moved now, yeah, I can find my cutting table! Couple of bags need removed to storage house, I was waiting for Al to do that, might be a long wait. they are out of my sewing room for now, at least.

Gypsy Vanner is the breed. His name is WCS Challenger. He's under the care of a good Vet. He'll be OK.

I just got word that the 5 finches will be shipped on Tuesday. I'll have to be at the airport at 9:30 pm to pick them up.

Well, back to krow.

Happy Anniversary Tami and hubby! Hope you two have a wonderful day!

OK, now I got the white page of doom!!! I didn't have to retype the message though because when I refreshed, it came up!

Heidi, hope Challenger feels better!

Haven't heard from my brother, so don't know what happened. It's a terrible situation and the really sad thing is that EW has convinced the kids that it is all their dad's fault! We all(my brothers and sisters) just want to shake the kids and say, don't you realize that it is all your mother's fault!! But my brother doesn't want to hurt the kids' relationship with their mom, even now. I wouldn't be so generous!

Morning all!
Stella - your brother sounds like a wonderful human being. I hope he suspends his wish not to hurt their relationship for long enough to get out of the financial hole!! And I agree with the others that the judge should be taken off the bench, not just this case, all cases.

Happy anniversary Tami and Mr Tami! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Vici, loved the moose youtube! I've kept it up to remind me to show hubby when he gets up. That could be a while, he hasn't been sleeping well at the moment so I hope he sleeps in..

fellow SA7ers.

Got up early this morning to water all the overhead pots, herbs and veggie garden. We only have two allotted mornings a week we can water and it was vital as we have had no rain in like forever...except now! It's a bit like washing the car, as soon as you have finished, it rains!

Heidi, when watching the parade in Washington there was a carriage pulled by two horses with lovely feathers like Challanger and I waondered if they were Vanners? I only got a quick glimpse.
Enjoy all your finches when you get them.
I can understand Gil being surprised be all the birthday wishes from around the world!

Becky - thoughts and wishes for your sister! I remember the recovery when Mum had her hip replaced. It was slow and difficult... I can't imagine the stress a recall adds to that!

Morning Gail and June
I'm looking at the gum tree we are trying to transplant and it looks like it could do with some water too. I have them pop up in my garden and try to plant them in the yard. Mostly they don't make it...

Stella, hope everything works out for your brother. As his children get older the realisation of how they have been used by their mother will surface. You brother is probably doing the right thing by them at the moment. Does he still have contact with them?
