In Reply to: POLL:What show are you looking forward to this fall? - PAMT~MDM

they are actucally putting it on Friday Nite. I am afraid that many people that watch this show actucally go to Friday nite hight school football. My hubby and son always go see our high school team play. I just don't want them to have low ratings and get dropped.

Friday Night Lights and Brothers and Sisters, love them!NM
nm
my mom is always telling me about Friday Night Lights
That is one of those that I didn't start watching from the beginning and never want to just cut in in the middle.

i saw a preview for it the other day and went wish i would have watched that one... my mom is ALWAYS like i can't believe youre not watching that one!!

must be pretty good? But is it not a high school show? i thought it was like a 90210 kind of show, and im too old for that! :)
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
I had a miscarriage Friday night...sm

8 weeks into the pregnancy.  Yesterday I e-mailed my friends/family the entries I had made in a journal starting the day after I found out I was pregnant.  If you're interested in reading the various emotions that I've (and others that have been through a similar situation) been through then keep reading (Rick is my husband, Kyley is my stepdaughter and Kerstin is our foster child we're adopting)....


October 21, 2006:

Yesterday we found out that we were going to be your parents.  Your dad & I were VERY excited when the home pregnancy test was positive & later in the day Dr. Desai confirmed that I am 4-5 weeks pregnant with you.  I've had dreams for a couple of months that we had a baby and for the past 2 weeks I've had dreams every night about having you & your being at various ages from pregnancy to newborn to toddler age.  I fully believe God was telling me through my creams that you were already growing in me & I didn't realize it yet. 

 

I love your dad VERY much & we very much want you and have planned for you from the day we got married.  We haven’t told anyone else about you except for my friend Lisa but will tell the others soon.  We know that everyone will be excited to know that you’re joining our family. 


 


Over the past week I’ve had a few times where I felt like you do when you go over a dip in the road too fast.  I know these sensations are you moving around in my womb.  Dad is already rubbing my tummy & talking to you because we want you to know how much we love you.  I love saying things to you & rubbing my belly as well – it feels so good knowing you’re in there – God’s gift to us.  We love you!   Mom


 


 


October 22nd:


Today we told Kyley, Kerstin, grandparents, aunts & uncles about you.  Everyone is excited & eager to meet you next summer.  Kerstin was so happy she danced & kept screaming “we’re going to have a baby!” then asked me to take her to Target to buy you some things.  She wanted to buy you a lot of things but I told her that we had to hold off a little bit as we could get somethings now & more later.  I love you, baby Oldham!   Mom


 


 


October 23rd: 


Today we told our friends about you.  They’re all eager to meet you in the future!  For lunch I had Spaghetti-O’s and about an hour later I could feel you moving all around – so I think you like them! 


 


Kertsin likes talking to you & telling you that she loves you whether you’re a boy or a girl – but she thinks she wants a brother.  We’ll see as time progresses. Love, Mom.


 


 


October 25th:


Kerstin stopped people in the hallways at choir tonight telling them about you.  We’re so excited! 


 


 


October 29th:


We had a busy weekend, baby.  Your nana sent you some booties.  We went to Kerstin’s soccer game, the Smyrna Jonquil Festival, church & Drew’s soccer game and and didn’t  make me feel sick at all.  However, some Wendy’s french fries with supper didn’t settle well with indigestion agalore.  Dad & I love you & are excited that this week you grow arms, legs, eye rims, intestines & pancreas.  You’ll be quite busy for sure!  Love, Mom.


 


October 30th:


Hello sweetheart!  I continue to have occasional sensations of you & love every minute of it & knowing you’re growing inside of me.  You are very much loved by me, your dad and sisters.  Love forever, Mom.


 


 


October 31st:


We had our 1st Halloween with your being a part of our family.  While at the church fall festival tonight Rick & I looked at the babies there & commented that next year you’ll be 4 months old by then.  We can’t wait to dress you up & show you off! 


 


Your dad has given me 2 very sweet toy stuffed baby dolls to remind me of your coming in the future.  Your have a GREAT dad who is very excited to have you growing in me.  We all love you very much!  Love, Mom.


 


 


November 2nd:


Hi angel from God!  I love you & want you to know that you are a true gift from God to your dad & myself.  We love you immensely.  Love, Mom. 


 


 


November 5th:


Hi Sweetie!  You’re entering your 7th week of growth.  This week you’ll start developing your fingers, toes, eyes, ears, nose, intestines, & teeth.  Dad & I are very excited thinking about seeing you on ultrasound on the 13th. We love you immensely & look forward to being your Mom & Dad.  Love, Mom


 


 


November 7th:


Hello honey!  I’ve had yet another wonderful day with you continuing to grow inside of me.  I still have indigestion after eating & occasional flutter sensations, but both are neat because I know that they come from you.  Dad & I love you VERY much!   Love, Mom


 


 


November 9th:


Hi “Baby O” – life has been great this week knowing you’re working hard at growing to be an incredible child.  Your dad & I went to an OB class at the doctor’s office tonight where they talked about your upcoming arrival.  We both love you VERY much & look forward to your 1st photograph on Monday.  Love, Mom.


 


 


November 11th:


Little angel, we had a good day today.  Dad, Kyley, Kerstin & I went to the zoo & we look forward to taking you there in the future.  Dad & I went to Hobby Lobby where dad picked the softest yarn for me to make you an afghan with.  I started this project tonight.  You’ve had a busy week with all of the growing you had scheduled to complete.  In 2 days we get to see how well you’re doing.  We love you!  Mom & Dad


 


 


November 13th:


Hello honey, we went to the doctor’s office today for the ultrasound & found out that you’re not as big as we expected.  They drew lab work on me & will repeat it on Wednesday to see if you’re OK.  Dad & I are trying to not worry & remember that your life is in God’s hands.  We’re praying that He hasn’t called you to heaven & that you’ll continue to be with us still here on earth.  We love you sweetie.  Love, Mom


 


 


November 14th:


Little angel, Dad & I were at the doctor’s office again today because I started having some bleeding this morning.  Dr. Morell & the staff were great & sympathetic, and it’s too early to know what will happen.  The good news is that you are still in me.  I’ll go back tomorrow for more blood work.  They’ve put me at bedrest for a couple of days.  Dad dreamed last night that you were OK so we’re trying to stay positive with that & my dreams I’ve had before & after we found out that I was  pregnant & you were fine.   You’re in God’s hands now for the final outcome.  We love you honey.  Love always, Mom.


 


 


November 15th:


Hello sweetie!  We found out that yesterday’s HCG level was good & high.  Tomorrow we get the results of the Monday & today’s tests.  We continue to hop & pray that the numbers are going up.  I didn’t work today.  The bleeding is less but still present.  We’re still rooting for you honey.  We love you very much!  Love, Mom


 


 


November 16th:


Hi honey!  We found out this morning that my lab work was inconclusive  so they’re repeating the HCG tomorrow.  We’ve got a lot of people praying for you, Dad & I that you’ll continue to grow & this scare will end soon.  I did work today but was able to take breaks to rest & didn’t do much of anything else.  Dad & I love you tons.  Love, Mom


 


 


November 18th:


Hello little angel in heaven.  Dad & I were devastated to find out that you will not be joining us here on earth but instead are already in heaven on yesterday.  Please know that we both loved you while you were in my womb & look forward to the day in our future when we meet you in heaven.  We love you,  Mom


After all these years, the love lights are
burning stronger than ever.
I fell in love last night.

I was browsing youtube.come last night and I found a video by Erasure sing O’Lamaur.  I fell in love.  Just a while ago, I looked at it again and saw the comments.  Come to find out he is gay and has HIV.  I know, I know even if he was straight he would not have anything to do with me but it was a nice fantasy while it lasted. LOL.   I also watched the video to Always and not only can the guy sing but he can do acrobats.   I had never seen these videos before but this was the music I used listening to while getting dressed in the morning to go to high school.  We could not afford cable back then. 


 


I love 80s music maybe because it takes me back to a time before I had real responsibility as in kids, mortgage, line counts.  It drives my husband nuts. 


Love Brooke. Everyone has a bad night every
once in a while. There are several that were a lot worse last night.
You are soooo not alone! sm
I've lived through this, and this year was no great shakes, though not because of presents. We don't make a big deal out of presents at Christmas -- a few nice presents for the kids (teenagers), and DH and I don't actually exchange gifts, but we do go and spend time together one night during the holiday season, usually dinner at a local spot we like. I'm very happy with that arrangement. If I want something for myself, I can buy it when I want it, so it's the time together that I value the most.
Unfortunately, I had a horrible Christmas this year, but it was because I felt completely unappreciated. I spent weeks preparing things, all the usual traditions that we do in our house, decorating, cookies, entertaining, all that sort of thing. I like doing it, but it's a lot of work. Christmas Eve came, and we went to church. After church, I asked to go for a drive to look at lights. DH made a fuss over it, and I made a fuss back, saying that it was one thing that I enjoy, and given all that I do, it sure would be nice if he'd kick in and do something *I* like to do just this one night. He then insisted that the boys had to go, too, because, "If I have to do it, then they have to do it, too." You'd think I had asked him to clean toilets or something! I didn't really care if the boys came. they are 16, 17 and 18 years old. I didn't expect that to be their idea of fun. But they were forced to go and we piled into the van. We started down the street, and they were all heckling and making rude comments. We only drove for 15 minutes when I told DH to go home. I had enough. It was no fun, and DH was goading the boys on. It certainly wasn't any fun for me. They stopped laughing and talking at that point. When we got home, I lined them all up and recounted everything I do for them, told them that they were ungrateful little so-and-so's for not at least trying to tolerate something that interests me, and since I was the one who shops for all of them, and I'm the one who knows where their presents are hidden, they were stuck for Christmas until I darn well felt in the Christmas spirit again. I went up to my room, stuck my iPod in my ears and went to sleep. By 10:30 the next morning, still no present opening. I didn't feel like it. I had another conversation with them about how unappreciated I felt, that they don't even bother to say "Thanks, mom. Dinner was delicious," when I make them dinners every night. "Ever wonder where your clean underwear comes from? There's no maid in this house!"
It wasn't a pleasant Christmas morning, but men never seem to understand what we want -- to be appreciated. And most of us aren't brought up to bang our own drum, but you know what? I'm no saint. I can't give and give and give just for the sake of being a "good" wife and mother. I'm not a doormat. Men have to be told that once in a while, just once in a while, they need to say thank you, make the females in their lives the center of attention, and not be so stinking selfish. It took a while, because they thought I was mad because they made a fuss about going to see Christmas lights. I really had to work at getting them to see that I was mad because they couldn't do this ONE little thing that I like to do, and that they get a darn lot of good things in life because I orchestrate it for them. They need to realize that all of that doesn't come from fairy dust and wishing. MOM does it. Once in a while, be nice.
OK, so how the story ended . . . I didn't make them dinner on Christmas. (Luckily, no company for us.) They made themselves bacon and eggs. I wasn't hungry and I told them I was going to take care of myself. Today, 12/26, is my birthday. One son made me breakfast this a.m. They all said they were sorry, and DH told me this morning that he was sorry for setting a bad example for them on Christmas Eve and making the boys go. He also gave me a very nice birthday present.

I am soooo glad. Even with her gone

I still don't plan on watching it.  When they brought on Rosie, I saw a side of Barbara and Elizabeth that I don't like.  I never cared for Joy so guess the show just isn't for me!!!  I liked Meredith and Star.  The original group made for some interesting, intelligent conversations. Don't need any more crap TV. 


bye bye Rosie


Soooo sorry for your loss
(((Hugs))) 
That is soooo true.
Sometimes I post under Me, but it is I, Misha with the dirty-nose dog. And you're right, you have to snap the picture quick because the dirt falls off their Teflon-like fur.

In the first picture of your dog I have a strange urge to start tufting her. In the next picture she's all brushed out - whew. It's hard to control that urge to pluck loose tufts.
Soooo true! LOL! nm
!
Soooo happy! sm

As the Tacoma newspaper headline read, Phinally!  Wish I could skip work and go to the parade...just like when I skipped school in 1980 for that parade. 


Soooo....I'm getting braces...please sm
Does anyone have any advice for taking care of braces that the dentist doesn't tell you? What to expect while getting them on, how to take care of them afterward, etc. I've never had to deal with braces before...no kids. And I'm not sure what to expect. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
That is soooo funny!

Do any of you cat lovers have info/ideas about allergy to cats?  I absolutely love them but immediately start itching then wheezing when I get close to one.  This year my daughter started feeding a stray cat.  A few months later the cat started "talking" to her, and shortly thereafter led 3 little kittens up to her.  Forward 7 or so months to our freezing winter and 3 more darling kittens.  She set them up in a spare bedroom, but of course they are beginning to trapse out and about (4 weeks old).  They are adorable.  The 2 grandsons of course are carrying them all over the house and bringing them to show grandma how cute they are.  So far Benadryl and a lot of CPAP is keeping me breathing.  An allergist told me years ago that taking "shots" did not help with continuous exposure.  In another 3 months or less, hopefully, the weather will be where they can safely be set up outside.  Also my daughter has promised they will all go to the vet and the momma will be spaded, and whatever else needs to be done for them.  But 8 cats!! and they are all adorable.  Help!! Thank you ever so much for any advice/input/experience you have.


This sounds soooo good - sm
do you get this out or you make it yourself?  If you make it yourself, how? 
I am soooo glad I grew up when I did
This comes from an older voice but I had a close friend in high school. I used to visit in her home and had no idea that this girl only owned 1 blouse. She told me years later how poor she was and she washed that 1 blouse out every night and wore to school the next day = this was in high school. I still have this friend to this day, 40 something years later and so glad I was not so superficial as to just like someone for what they had or did not have.
I would fight you for that! He is soooo sexy....nm
nm
awwww....soooo sweet! Look
at those beautiful, loving eyes.  I love animals and all 7 of ours are my children!
I SOOOO agree with you. You are spot on. nm.

3-way lights
They do now make them for 3-way lights. They are hard to find, but they are out there.
lights
We put ours up every year.  We only leave them on for about 2-3 hours a night and not every night.  We do it because our kids love them.
lights
I use hooks and bread ties.
I am soooo decorating challenged and need help. I want to put some color

on my bedrom walls, I'm thinking a light sage color.  If I paint the walls the sage color, does the ceiling get painted the same or an off/white?  If I paint the ceiling the same color as the walls wont the room feel much smaller and "cave" like?  I have comforter with olive, sage, dark brown colors.  Average size room with windows on 2 walls so there will be light coming in.


Thanks for your ideas.


  


Soooo let's talk casinos and gambling

I had lunch today with my women's golf group at a buffet inside one of the local casinos. I was astounded to see how many people were in there, gambling away, mid-day, mid-week. I must admit, I've never been in a casino before this afternoon, so I am totally in the dark as to what the appeal is.


Any of you here enjoy the games, the gambling, the atmosphere (at least it wasn't smoky!)? What's the draw, cuz I sure don't get it?


Christmas Lights
Did you know that Orthodox Christians around the world do not celebrate Christmas until January 7th? (We call it Nativity). We then keep our decorations up until Theophany, which is the baptism of Christ, which happens to be today. Just thought you might appreciate a view from a different angle.
got my new one - 1300 lights on a 7-1/2

I posted earlier about prelit trees.  Ordered one from Home Depot because it was free shipping and delivered to my home since I have no way of getting a huge box home.  I always got a skinny one - but this year everyone is gone but me so I figured it could take up the whole living room!  It is stunning!


We don't do christmas lights. Instead we
do halloween decorations. We have more fun with that and it helps that halloween usually falls during a time when our energy bills are normally the lowest for the year.
Oh my gosh.. I agree he was soooo terrible! Sanjaya here we go again. nm

AW he is soooo cute. We just adopted Chip last week - sm

He is what the shelter called a beagle mix, but if he is mixed with anything I will eat my hat... Okay I do not have a hat, but I would be surprised...LOL.


Here is a pic of him..

I hope your transition is as easy as ours was.  We have 2 other rescue doggies, both lab mixes and female and the three of them were fast friends.  Of course we have no diningroom left with 3 creats in it, but who cares... 


 


FEELINGS. . . SOOOO sick of that stupid thing! NM

I found the lights very helpful
I suffer from SAD to some degree no matter where I live, but I did not realize it until I started breeding birds as a hobby. I had a room with dozens of cages stacked together. On the two long walls, I vertically mounted two 6 foot uncovered natural lights and on the short walls I horizontally mounted two 3 foot of the same lights.

After I brought the birds their breakfast in the mornings, I would sit in the room for an hour to watch the birds' behavior. After about a year, I realized I was feeling better than I had ever felt in my life. Not only no depression, but my energy level was higher, my house stayed neater, I was better able to concentrate, I interacted better with people...

My work space is now located next to a sliding glass door and I keep the curtains pulled back all day every day. If you want to go look into the lights before you buy, a good source is in a pet shop in the lizard/snake/aquarium area where natural lights are sold in different strengths and shapes. They are NOT cheap, but the ones in pet shops last a long time and you should find something that would blend into your home. If you can't find them in the pet shop, look for a magazine like Bird Talk online and go to the merchandise/advertiser section for a distributor.
Those low-mounted driving lights that - (sm)
illuminate both sides of the road are really helpful on dark country roads at night, and in the rain, too. They help me see puddles of deeper water, especially those along the side of the road that can get you spun around if just one front tire hits them. They're also good if you're watching for deer, pedestrians, etc.

I've learned a few tricks that help improve night driving vision:

First, if your windshield is pitted, replace it. The pits diffuse bright lights and make it hard to see.

Keep your headlights, tail-lights & turn-indicator lights clean so they'll be as bright as possible.

If I've been doing a long drive from daylight into night, especially if headed into the sunset, I'll wear sunglasses that are as dark as possible during bright daylight. Once the sun sets, I'll switch to more lightly tinted ones and wear them for as long as I can to help get my eyes better adjusted to the dark.

Once it's pretty dark, I usually take a break at a service station, and in addition to the slight rest I get from topping off the tank, I also take that opportunity to get my windshield as clean as possible - inside and out.

Next I'll wipe off my driving glasses, and finally, use some "Clear Eyes" eye drops in my eyes.

Finally, a sort of "last resort" trick I use to improve my vision right after passing an oncoming car with very bright headlights is to close one eye for a few seconds as the on coming car is within a certain distance. That way the iris in that eye doesn't have to readjust as much as the one that was blinded by the oncoming headlights.

All of those things make driving at night a little easier.


Anyone not putting up Christmas lights?
I usually make a big to-do out of having the house and yard lit up, but this year I don't think I'm going to. The few hours they are on a night sure packs a punch on the electric bill. How bout everyone else?
I live in the boonies, have never put up lights nm
nm
putting up Xmas lights
Sorry if this may seem really dumb but I've never done this before - how do you attach the lights to siding on a house around windows and doors? It's not wood siding, it's an older home with aluminum siding.
Soooo cute! I have a lab/great dane mix... scary to some 'cause he is so big. But he is a big wus

Are those mini-pins!  A while ago I was running with Walter (my dog)  and we came across a lady with 2 mini-pins.  Walter wants to meet everyone and the lady said they were friendly so we let them sniff, but all of a sudden they were all over Walter with little tiny flashing teeth.  Walter yiped like a little baby and skulked away and the lady said "oh my they never do that."  Why do they always say that, like it is my big dog's fault? 


Well anyway, just this weekend I saw the mini pins in her car at the market when by coincidence I parked next to it.  When I opened my door they were up on the dash and leaping at the crack in the window and snarling and barking at me.  I know they could not get to me but I cringed and hustled away.  They looked really scary!  I swear I felt like they could jump up on me and grab on something like my ears or something and not let go. 


But I am sure they are sweet... NOT!  But it goes to show you never know... they are all animals, after all.  And like people all have very distinct personalities, very much formed by their family (the people family, I mean).  I could tell the owner of the mini pins was kind of a ---- well you know, not that nice... she left them in the hot car, after all... and they were pretty much a product of their upbringing.


I too actually think pits have some of the sweetest dispositions I have ever met in a dog. 


Christmas lights and decorations up after New Year's!
We always take ours down New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. Our neighbors still have theirs out (lawn decorations and everything) and up until just a week ago they were still turning them on at night! Ugh! It also bugs me when people leave the Christmas lights on their houses year-round. I love the holidays and I love having my Christmas stuff out, but when the holidays are over, so are my decorations!
sorry...pot lights or high hats over the mantle...nm
s
I'm going to turn out the lights, lock up the house, -
and instead of doing the trick-or-treat thing, am going on a Halloween night costumed inline skate through the streets of S.F. with my skate-buddies. Most likely WE will eat the candy I originally bought! ;)
Wow! Those glowing eyes fit right into the tree lights!
NM
We went to the local botanical gardens for the lights - sm
then out to dinner, home around 10, 1 daughter had a friend sleeping over so they watched The Grinch who stole Christmas (Jim Carrey), my other daughter and I watched the old (first) version of The Posiedan Adventure until 12 or so then went to bed. DH went to bed about 11 and slept through. Okay evening for the most part. No hangover.....haven't done that for years.
Buy motion-sensored exterior lights

Next Friday
it's in stores. I'm going to buy it. I have tried everything including hypnotism and exercising my behind off to lose weight and just can't get rid of the fat. Also doing low carb and still can't lose weight. I'm counting down the days to buy Alli. Never tried Xenical but it's half the dose of it so it still should work. I'm desperate. I am in a wedding in Sept and need to lose a lot of weight in the next 3 months.
Friday
Home made chicken pot pies for dinner tonight. It's so chilly outside today. Plus, I can easily toss it in the crock pot during lunch. :)
It's Friday - Yay !!
Let's have a little fun. Name 3 things most people would be surprised to know about you. I'll start.
1. I love alternative music even though I'm in my late 40s.
2. I like animals more than most people.
3. I always wanted to be a singer as a career but cannot sing.

It's Friday but what the hey? sm
