There is a Margaritaville on the strip where we can get a cheeseburger, ya know, in paradise.

You only live once.

My grandfather died sometime today, so I will be in Connecticut for the next week.

My sympathies, Lord Snow. :(

We've all gotta go, LS.

If his life was such that he could look back and say, "Yes, it was worth it.", then it's OK.

I remember a character in a SciFi story saying, "Don't hold me back by mourning me, send me on with a wave and a prayer." Sound advice.

Lord Snow, sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family have our deepest sympathy and prayers.

Thank you guys. I think he had one of those kinds of lives. Fought in two wars (WW2 and Korea), raised 7 kids, and more than enough grandkids to go with them, even a couple of great grandchildren. We all knew it was coming, just didn't know when.

My 18 year old daughter sat me down today to tell me that she thinks she is really and truly a lesbian. This has been an ongoing investigation since she was 14. She wanted to know if I would still love her. I told her I would always love her. I also told her this didn't get her out of owing me a grand baby someday. :nod:

((hugs)) It's so good she could talk to you. My aunt didn't come out til she was 50.

Tess, I'm impressed how well you handled her sharing. :thumbs:

I think you have a very lucky daughter.

Tess, at least you don't have to worry about her getting pregnant accidently

Tess, her sexual preferences aren't an issue. Finding a loving and fulfilling relationship is. I hope she lives well.

Thanks for your all your kind words! I just want the girl to be happy and find her bliss. I admit to being a bit relieved that I don't have to worry about pregnancy. :nod:

I honestly hope for this everyday for the daughters I don't have yet. I wish you all the luck in the world helping her down what I am sure is a rough road.

The road's a lot smoother than 20 years ago.

I wouldn't know, I was 10 year old 20 years ago :nana:

went to a great concert last night-
LMFAO
Ludacris &
Blackeyed Peas


so freakin awesome, I had to take today off to recover.

Citrouille just peed in the toilet!!!!!!!!!! She's such a good kitty! :D

(Let's see if she'll poop there too...)

Kong hee fat choy.

and back at ya! I had a celebration with my kiddies at school on Thursday.

8 puppies getting ready for new homes...

Just got back from a rare movie outing with my son (saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief , which my son loved since he's already read the book)

Beautiful day here today so I cut some firewood for next year.

I just got this new avatar and I'm hoping it gives a rise to PF. :D

I don't think he's come down from the last one Tess.

I don't know about PF, but it certainly got a rise out of me. :slurp:

I'm Finally F*cking Home!

How went the funeral?

I drank farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too much red wine last night and paid for it alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long.

Practice is painful. No pain, no gain.

Getting ready to leave for funeral services....my hubby's grandma died Saturday morning.

Sorry to hear that. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you, your hubby and your families.

What he ^^^ said.

The funeral was pretty good. Everyone is holding up okay. Sorry to hear about your Hubby's grandma Shadowdancer.

Glad things went well, LS! You're still in our thoughts and prayers.

As far as I'm concerned, he just went for an extended motorcycle ride.

"Could the bastard who left burnout skidmarks on the Pearly Gates please report to St Peter's office immediately!"

things went well...long time spent driving... 1.5 hrs (each way) up and back for services and burial. my 6 yr old told me he wanted to go, so we took him with and his behavior was stellar (for a change!). we took him bowling tonight just us without his baby sister as a reward for handling such a stressful situation so well.

Good to hear ShadowDancer. We had a few little ones at my grandfather's wake and what not that did quite well. It's hard on all.

LOL Old Fart. That would've been him in his younger days.

Just incase some are wondering, yes Booger and I have split. We are still friends and I'm trying to find myself again. I'm always finding myself at work tho. (Blech)
