Sudokuaholics Anonymous 6

third try here, what is going on??

Huumm, either the site or firefox will not send just a smilie as a post!

Suzy, This 'breeder' stopped at two also, I was lucky my kids were very healthy.I did have a fright in labour with my son, the nurse couldn't find a heartbeat frightened the hell out of me.

Hi MizT!

Oooh eaa, that would have been terrifying! I at least had 13 days before I started to panic...

This idiot went for four!
I thought I wanted a big family until I had one!
I had to go through the others to get to the one I wanted. hehe

LOL Gail!

MizT, you definitely hold the record. No one has more than 2 in a row in SA6...

Suzy, if you need help dictating that letter, let us know. After all, you know us, we like to stick our nose in anywhere!

Well it's goodnite from me.

Might take you up on that Gail... I don't like being a short term employee....

Night eaa

I'm going to join you eaa, so to speak!

Anecdote warning!!!

I went to visit a neighbour this morning. I have known them for almost as long as we've lived in this house.... 6 years? I'll have to check the paperwork.

My neighbour and her daughter have lived together as long as I've known them. Maybe always. Last year Ruth, the daughter, died of leukemia. Today I was told that she had been deaf, some hearing provided by a hearing aid, her entire life. I never knew!!! She hid it from everyone.... how sad.

Ruth would have been about 50 by the way..

Looks like you are all heading off to bed.
Had a lovely dinner at my sisyer's place. Roast lamb and baked vegies.

Sharon rang today and she has found a 3cm lump in her breast.She has been spending the day with tests, but one of the medications she has taken has caused her to lactate so it is quite possible she now has mastitis (?).More tests have to wait till Thursday as Laura has her tonsils out tomorrow. Never rains but it pours!!!

I had a nice day though. Played social bowls. We had a good win and even I won a frozen chicken!

Noooo June!!!! It will turn out to be nothing to worry about, it will turn out to be nothing to worry about, it will turn out to be nothing to worry about.........

See, I know how to do the wishful thinking thing!!

Thoughts and wishes.

JUNE, did they tell her anything to do for mastitis in case that is what it is? Very Warm Wet compresses to it, and cannot hurt a thing if it is more than mastitis, but will offer some relief ifithat is what it is.

Prayers for all of you dear friend!

Mastitis is an infection of a milk duct, and there would be warmth and maybe redness if the duct involved is near enough the surface for it to show. I think the chances of it being mastitis are very great if medication caused lactation and if this "lump" appeared very suddenly as it seems.

MizT, you are getting close to restriction free living... which is not such a good thing because it means more STUFF. Do you think you could milk it for another 2 weeks?

Suzy, I could most likely not stand another 2 weeks of no stuff, there is enough cat hair here on rugs and carpet to knit a herd of cats!

Still cannot find my cleaning lady, I must try calling again today, DRATS, would be nice to have help getting things back in order then I could perhaps leep it that way without overdoing.

Hubby never sees any clutter or things that need doing, and getting him to do anything is like getting a 12 year old boy. He will do what you ask, sort of, and then disappear

LOL.. The lawn mower is shedding all over our yard. White hairs everywhere!!! I'm not bothering to clean them up until she goes home.... Not sure when that will be. She was going to go home when we leave on Friday, but her mum is feeding our dogs while we're gone so she might stay too..

At least your hubby will do what you ask. Mine is getting better, but has a passive-aggressive streak - up until recently asking him to do something was the same as asking him NOT to do something - it didn't get done! I shouldn't say that, he is generally wonderful. He just doesn't respond well to what he perceives as nagging.

SUZY, your property should be so very neatly cut, love your lawnmower.

I would need a goat here, we have blackberry briars, and I do not think your lovely lady would like those.

SUZY, does he see any mention of what you asked once (and it did not get done) as nagging? I get that here a lot and have not found a way around that peculiarity.

I don't want a goat as I have stuff I don't want to lose that a goat would love! There are blackberries down the back, but that area isn't fenced well enough to set any animal free in it.

Sounds about the same MizT. I suspect mothers are to blame. When a wife/woman asks/mentions, there is too much similarity to mothers asking/insisting. Which makes me think am I turning my girls into passive aggressive adults???

ours is not fenced at all, and I certainly would not want to stake out a goat. Terrible thing happened at my sisters house back some years ago, they had briars and vines and stuff really hard to clear. They bought 2 goats, and put them out on a leash. Watched them well, cause they could get tangled in the brush. My sister heard them bleating, and onher way to help untangle them (she thought) saw a pack of roving domesticated dogs (neighbors pets)attack them. Of course the dogs won.

Oh no! Definitely wouldn't want that to happen! How sad... Some of the local dogs are not kept in very well, as my neighbour found out when they jumped her fence and got her dog preggas...

here in rural areas, dogs roam free. People are of the mind "I moved to the country so my dogs can be free and not fenced" There is a state wide leash law, but it is not always enforced in towns, and certainly not enforced in the unincorporated areas, the country, where we only have county sheriffs to cover large areas. They do not have the time or the inclination to enforce leash law, heck, their dogs roam free hehe

We are classified as semi-rural and all it takes it a report to the council rangers, the chance that they happen to be available when you call, and then the chance that they can see/catch the dog when they get here.... So not much different to you! Except that the 'so my dogs can be free' doesn't apply and isn't said.

Well, I suppose I need to do something today. I bought some summer squash on sale yesterday, ONLY 85 cents a pound, half what the going price is, but even sale price is more than i would have paid last year! I have enough for about 6 meals, will cut and cook all, then freeze some for later.

We in rural areas do not have any animal control officers, those are only found in large metro areas. We do invite stray dogs to leave our property with a non injuring sting from a pellet gun! After being stung on the rear a couple times, all you need to do is show the rifle hehe We see them come out of the woods, realize where they are, and make a detour around our property line, it is comical.

I am just about finished sorting the belly busters so will be sleeping soon...

Have a great day MizT... save some squash for me.

The people who used to live across the road from us chose the fatal kind of bullet. (it is 100 acres property) The third time we heard the shots we called the police - who suggested it might be fireworks. I was in a store when a Brinks guard was shot dead, I know what a gun sounds like - can't forget! The neighour has moved away and there are no more fireworks. Surprise surprise!

When I lived on that farm, farm hand had to shoot a dog who repeatedly chased cows into fences. It is tolerated here, if livestock is being injured.

Alison! Great to have you join in!
Good Maen all!
Just got done reading SA and the brouhaha on Easy. I am so grateful to have found SA - thank you again for welcoming me here.
Bean, Broni, Mariana and eaa - nice to see some balanced comments in the mix - thank you for your efforts.
June - keeping my fingers, toes and everything else I can crossed for Sharon...talk about pouring! Glad you had an enjoyable evening as I'm sure you needed it!

I have some feelings as a "newbie" about all the complaints the "old geezers" are making about what has happened to the site and bemoaning it's present state. I also noticed Suzy posting amungst the "old geezers" on the later pages of Easy and only one of them giving her any recognition. I am here at SA because that doesn't happen here...and it is GREATLY appreciated. On Easy I can feel like I'm missing a continual inside joke. It feels too much like Junior High for me.

And now after my little rant on SA (which I wouldn't dare post on Easy for fear of being crucified) I will be one my way. Hope to catch up with you all a bit later today.
To all the DUGs

close again??
