Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

And eaa is asleep with her computer playing up so.........!

HI, just checking to make sure everyone is safe. So far, so good.

JUNE, when hubby had to make drastic changes to his eating habits. I promised that if he ate only what he was supposed to eat (no pizza, fried chicken, hamburgers and french fries , fast food, purchased snack cakes and such) I would see that he had a healthy desert for lunch and dinner each day. It worked well, he has stayed on his diet for 7 years now. He will still look at white powdered sugared cake donuts and say "I could eat that whole package" (and he has in the past) but he walks on by them, just drooling, not eating.

I knew what a breather was. I was being sarcastic.

Plumber is here. Cleaning lady is here. Guys are here to remove downed trees from fences.
BUSY!!!!!

Good Morning, Friends!

Becky, I'm sorry to hear about your hand. Wishing you rapid healing!

June, it's understandable that Sharon would really tune into her body and occasionally think the worst. Hope the stomach X-ray helps to reassure her. Good health to everyone in your family! (And, yummy sounding baked goods for bowls.)

Heidi, congrats on the new little girl (Red Angus calf, in case anyone isn't caught up in reading)! Certainly sounds like a busy day at your place today!

MizT, please remember to add your recipe to the Recipes Forum, in case it isn't there already.

Hi, Rena! Hope you have a great day!

Heidi, Happy Birthday!

And now, CRAFT's disease strikes again. Good wishes to EVERYONE!!!

Now, I really must do some ffuts!

No time for a breather for you Heidi, you stay so very busy. Do you still have your farm hand working part time for you? I am sure you could keep him busy for many days/weeks now, so much to do around your farm. Do you know how many trees you have down on your property?

WOOO HOOO! A Birthday-o-Rama! Mr. Bean (Pete) yesterday, Lee today and Heidi tomorrow!!!
Warm wishes to you all!

Becky - hope your hand heals quickly - hands, feet, fingers and toes are the worst places to have injuries...oh so tender!!!
June - as always keeping Sharon in my prayers...what a year it has been for you all!

We finally had some snow! ...about 5 inches fell last night - it should be gone in a day or so, but we might get more later in the week.

Good Maen dear ones...forgot to say Hello!
Was on my butt all day yesterday (and it got sore) playing with my ipod touch - putting pictures to all my contacts. It was a lot of fun.
Hopefully I can start getting to the tax papers today YUCK!

eaa has a very cute kitty on Tough today...worth checking out.
Guess I'm here by my lonesome again.
So I'll CP and go onto the jigsaws.
Hugs all around and continued prayers for Victoria's fires to end.

Morning All.Son fixed both computers last night,I have missed so much in only 2 days(or was it 1)still haven't read anything and wont have time now.
I shed a few tears watching the fire victims on the news,especially the ones who were reunited with missing family members.It is absolutely horrific to see the devastation.
Susan..how is it going up your way.Stay safe.
Heidi..hope the arrival of baby animals is a little compensation and can cheer you up now that the work begins to fix your home.

MizT... Robert (my part-time farm hand) is one of the guys busy on the fence lines. He's got LOTS of work ahead of him.

The chicks are in the brooder now. The newer cats are showing a little too much interest in them.

We may have only a handful of trees that AREN'T damaged seriously. We are working on the ones shorting out the fence first. THEN the ones in the yard.

to all my SA friends. i hope everyone is doing ok. i've only sorta read this page. vici, i think you sent me your left over snow. thanks! heidi- i'm so glad you have help to make right what went wrong with all your weather trauma. wishing you and the zoo a speedy recovery! thinking of suzy's ally and hope her singing went well this last weekend. did susan float away? hope you aren't too water logged and are doing fine susan! to the rest of you....

now i must get to my todo list. gee, who wants to help with the dishes? how about the shopping, and driving? ooo i know, one of you can design a kitchen for me!! i don't want to! how about bathe the dog? shovel the driveway? take the car to the shop? no one? maybe if i put it off long enough my hubby will do it! well, that is my plan. i always plan ahead!

Morning all.
I was dreading turning on the computer this morning and seeing the latest toll. Sigh.

Mariana, I'll let you stick to your plan, I wouldn't want to mess it up for you!

June, I feel for Sharon. When I was about 28 weeks pregnant with Ally I had a stomach pain worse than any pain I ever remembered. It was a couple of weeks after a fender bender and I thought the worst. I was doubled over and just wanted them to do something, anything, to make it stop. Turned out to be gas/wind pain. I was embarassed, but relieved... I have everything crossed that it is the same kind of thing for Sharon.

Becky, your hand injury sounds terrible! You say it is all better now, I hope so...

Cyn, congratulations to Col for his first job!! And what a job!! I have an image of Col knocking on the door, 'Can I borrow the keys to the helicopter so I can move it? I'm mowing that area today.'

Nola, I'm glad your computers are fixed and you are back!

Heidi, you got me with that breather comment too....

Brenda, sending warm thoughts your way. It sounds very dangerous - just a trip down the front path could result in a bad fall. I hope someone has your number in case you lost touch...

One more for a CP - someone asked what was in my avatar - it's a get well avatar and around the bottom is the thing everyone who needs some TLC should have - chocolates!!!

Hi Suzy! Was just heading off to grab a bit (late breakfast) ...and saw you in the window - just wanted to pop in and say g'day!

bit = bite

SUZY, how is Ally's arm today? I answered your message, hope you find it!

Just answered you MizT. She is still asleep right now, I will make the call after 9am...

Hi Vici! How late is it in CA? Must be nearly lunch time...

Bugger, the toll has just gone from 166 to 173...

I'm afraid it will get much worse...so much area to search - it's heart breaking.
It was almost lunch time, but I had cottage cheese and pineapple (kind of brekky/gailish)
As happy as I am about our snowfall last night, I would gladly send all that precipitation to Victoria if I could.

Vici, our Northern Queenslanders have more rain than they can handle right now - ask Susan! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just pick it up and dump it on Victoria??!

I have discovered the cure for sadness - Spongebob Squarepants! I don't usually turn the TV on in the morning but this morning decided to see what was happening with the fires. I didn't change the channel when Spongebob came on 'cause I was busy in here. It was hilarious! I think that episode was written for adults...

Spongebob Squarepants! That will make our own Miss Troublemaker smile! She has that Friday avatar with him on it.
I, too, am amazed at the extremes between Queensland and Victoria. Just a little shift would make a world of difference for all concerned!

Just changed up my youtube with one Stella sent via e-mail...couldn't resist it. An unusual pairing to Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World".

Just had another heifer calf born!!!!

Vici.... that's the same YouTube that Shosho has on her page.

Congrats Heidi! With your stock losses every calf must be a relief!

I'll have a look at your youtube later Vici as it sounds good - morning rush is on now, with the added 'lucky me' of driving the kids to school... Let's hope Ally can keep her cast dry in this rain!

Knowing me I will be back later...

Congrats on the new baby, Heidi!!!
I figured somebody else must have that youtube - too cute - plus a wonderful song.
Suzy - hope Ally does OK in school with that huge cast.

I have watched that YouTube a LOT. I love it.

What a wonderful youtube! So glad hubby volunteered to drive the kids to school...

Cyn, Channels 7 and 9 are interviewing sad people again...
