Ann. Barb. this is "Gone with the wind"! Don't be amazed. though. We have the same situation in Italy. Since the days when italy was unified (1860) the people from the North, more industrialised and "civilised", snobbed us from the south, who were poorer and peasants. Do you think the situation has changed after 150 years from Italian Unity? No, it hasn't changed at all. They still despise us. If they could, they would draw a border and separate themselves from us, the Southern ones! I mean, we live in the digital era, people communicate in real time with the whole world, gay people can marry and adopt children; there are women everywhere in the world as Presidents and Premiers... And still in Italy we have this crap. Mind blowing.
OMG poor sister (not) - she reminds me of the parents who don't do a very good job watching their kids - yet are the most surprised and wail the loudest when some ill fate becomes one of them.
I've no doubt your sister IS in pain. I'd be in pain too once realizing my Mom was dead and thus all opportunity gone for goodbyes and amends.
Rosella - the North and South battles till wages here in the US as well. Many Northerners STILL make the asumption that most Southerners are cousin-marrying bigots who live for Nascar, vote only the Republican ticket, AND would happily return to Jim Crow. Some people just chose a life of headinthesand docile sheep-like ignorance - and these folks are on both sides of the Mason Dixon line - which forms the nothern border of the county I call home - thus making me barely a southerner here in Maryland. Also - you comment about that leaf full of woe killingall the squatic life was hilarious!

Linda-Got me laughing so hard about the fly! Almost spit my coffee out! Hope the bad weather stays away! Already have some tornado warnings out there! Yep, Indiana weather is crazy for sure! Hope your Pa gets better! Sounds like UTI. Be careful in this weather! We might just end up in OZ! LOL I would get picked up by one of those flying monkeys as soon as I got there I am sure! XXOO Kimmy
up a horses ass? Whahaha Linda! Sorry about your Pa :(, Kimmie, the monkeys will get you but only cause you will trip over them! :) Good Luck AnnT and have fun! I had fun last night. I went over to a friends house and helped him setup his terrariums for his baby albino python and his two leper lizards. I got to hold all the critters, it was fun! The lizards were so docile that I could put them on their backs on the palm of my hand and they would stay there until I would move them. Not creepy crawly at all, but I bet some of you are squirming anyway... lol Our Tornado weather is going to clear up in a couple of weeks, it's in the low 80's here and I'm loving it. I've been working on some outside projects when I can get outside. Tomorrow I will get a bunch of flowers potted that I've dug up from around the yard. Sports are on during the weekend so that keeps Dad occupied and he doesn't shadow me as much so I can get things done. :) Have a nice night everyone. Love you all. Chirp Chirp Cricket
Cricket, I love snakes and Lizards. I have a cricket on my hearth.) Have fun, Ann. Linda, do you mean Pa's pee was bloody? Poor baby. Not fair. Prayers of mercy, healing, and peace to ALL. I'm going to bed with heated herbal packs on both ears. "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog,Toto, too." I can imitate WW of the W perfectly, along with many authentic animal sounds, including monkey sounds. Heehe. But not today. Love you, girls. And Ted and Cuz. Hugs, Christina xo See you girls mañana.
I like snakes and lizards too and frogs... Glad to hear James is ON The MEND! Rosella, I have family from Napoli and we know even after four generations we know the Northern Italians are snobs....beh. Hope the week goes well for everyone...you know.... Jen
Cricket-I like lizards and snakes too! We have a big rat snake that lives in our backyard! We call him Oscar! Very friendly and likes to be photographed! LOL I have to get more pictures up on facebook! Wish we could post pictures here!
Oh yeah! I would trip over a flying monkey in a heartbeat! LOL Think I am becoming more and more like Mr. Magoo every day! Hail storm headed our way now! Needless to say I will not go outside to check the weather as no doubt a huge piece of hail would fall directly on my head! LOL
Rossella be careful with the oven! Every time I look at the moon, I look for you there! LOL
Christina take care of those ears! Have you tried sweet oil in them? Have drops now that will numb the pain as soon as you put it in the ear. Used to get them for Hannah when she was little. Prescription I think.
Storm is moving in, I guess I better get off here! Love you all! Kimmy, Kimbo, Kim
Thanks KimBo. Right now I hav warm evoo on Cotten in my ears. It's like being in a vacuum. Huh? WHAT?!?! Take care everyone, of yourselves and your precious charges. Night Night.....
Just saw this quote and thought of all us caregivers.
The world is divided into people who do things, and people who get credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class, there is far less competition. ~Author : Dwight Morrow Famous Quotes
We had a turtle - teeny tiny turtle my eldest rescued from some boys seeing who could skim it farthest across the floor at a party. Mikey lived with us for many years until i fond he'd expired one morning - on my younget daughter's birthday! So i flipped him over and played dumb until the next afternoon.
Going on vacation once we braked for a large box turtle crossing the highway and took him on vacay with us - lots of pics he had a wonderful time. On the way back we dropped him off at the same place he was headed when we saved him.
I miss Georgia in that there was always a turtle to save!
Wisdom I also believe in all that is written below. Read it slowly!
I BELIEVE...
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . .. And read this slowly... I Believe.... That just because two people argue, that doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, that doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe... That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe... That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I Believe... That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe... That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I Believe... That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I Believe... That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I Believe... That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. Itmay be the last time you see them.
I Believe... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe... That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe... That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe... That heroes are the people who do what has to be done, when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe... That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I Believe.... That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the best time.
I Believe... That sometimes the people you expect to kick you, when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe... That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them... and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe... That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe... That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe... That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe... That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I Believe.... Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I Believe... That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I Believe... That even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries out to you.. you will find the strength to help.
I Believe... That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe... That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon..
I Believe.... That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in. I just did.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.
I am grateful for all the wonderful people who help me throughout the journey of life...
Everyone take a slice of pie and pass it around. Coffee is brewing: Starbuck's Anniversary blend....soon Christmas blend will be in the stores....my all time favorite. I take it with a lot of cream, thank you very much....hub says I should add coffee to my cream...such a jokester!
Lilli-I add coffee to my cream too! Husband and daughter joke about it all the time! That pie sounds delicious! Pass me a slice! Thanks! Oh here it is! Yum!

When you drink rum over ice, it can give you liver failure.
When you drink whiskey over ice, it can give you heart
problems.
