OMG.. 8 hours of yard work??? and you are still able to see, walk, etc?

Welcome dear friend. You have others in "your shoes" here. Most have not arrived yet.

I did a few hours in yard. My friend & FReeper Wheelbarrow came & helped me for a few hours. Then we did a "doggie" walk & I took him out for Mexican.

Welcome to the thread!

[DollyCali]

I just had one. sometimes I wish I could do it again.. but alas cannot. He is a good kid. Had a lot of negative baggage from we, his parents.

[bevlar]

I think I am WAY too old to be a part of this singles thead. I did read through - looks like you all are having a good time.

[DollyCali]

I had a friend (a very funny one) that used to say..

The best way to raise kids.

When they are 11.. put them in a hole in ground. give them food etc, exercise. Let them out when they are 21/

[pcottraux]

Well...nobody's perfect, and we all do our best despite the circumstances.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

??? What circumstances?

[DollyCali]

Bev, there are all ages & backgrounds here. We are here to be friends & help each other. One thing I have learned that I can learn a lot when I dont expect it..

good folks here. I come & go. I should be here a lot this weekend (as I am hostess) but will probably not.

There are several women (and a few guys) our age.

The raven was here last weekend & a few others you know.

I am having a really tough few "oliver" days lately... 6 months almost. too many tears still. too empty of a heart still.

I used to hate yard work, but figure it is what is keeping me "young". Tomorrow, I am going to vacuum the spiders (ick) off my deck area and wash the windows and glass panels. Then...hopefully, the weather will stay nice so I can paint the decks with the Wolmanite water proofing. I was lucky today...stayed overcast and in the high 50's all day....perfect for mowing, berry vine whacking, hedge trimming, etc.

I think she was also upset to find out that I DO know who Ann Coulter is, that I like her, and that I DO support her standing up to the "jersey girls".

But like most liberals, she is NOT aware of the way that Christians and conservatives in this world do NOT have much "freedom of speech", that we can get smeared and impugned by the Drive-by media and liberals like Soros, the jersey girls, Dixie chicks and Micahel Moore, but we are NOT supposed to respond!!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

You tell her Jack!!!

[ozarkgirl]

Welcome! Out of the shower and energized??? We could use any energy....

[bevlar]

(((dolly))) Yes, we will always remember the Oliver pups and Rusty cats that come into our lives and then leave all too soon. My Oscar is now 15 years old and I know I am not going to have him much longer. He is showing signs of aging but, although blind, he gets around quite well.

[DollyCali]

I positively LOVE yard work.. flowers, veggies, weeding, lawn care.. could have an atrocious house that you cant walk in.. (Opps.. I do).. and still avoid it to go outside & do the dirt/yard stuff.

I did the ATRW junk garden.. fun. ugly but fun.

BTW.. my friend Wheelbarrow is 10 years older than you & will no doubt show up soon (if he doesn't get to his single dance)

chuckle

[darkangel82]

I haven't lost any animals yet, but both of mine are getting up there in years( dog is 10, cat is 14.)

[DollyCali]

Cali is the same Bev. born in 1988.. still my sweetheart & rules the house (over dogs too)

I had a long, long crying session today at O's grave.. I have two wonderful pooches now.

but just like men.. I think sometimes there is one special person/pet who will always hold the special place.

It takes our growth to let other people/pets step in along the way to NOT REPLACE but to be part of the "new" life

[Rca2000]

DING!! DING!! DING!!

Paging Victoria, paging Victoria!!

Where ARE you, Lovely??

[DollyCali]

oh............I hope you have them for many more years. There is an unspeakable void that develops when they go to the rainbow bridge. Unspeakable....

[pcottraux]

The ones that we do our have to do our best in spite of.

[DollyCali]

Michael Medved had a wonderful segment on Anne C today. I like him & her. Yes, she is a gutsy, opinionated, strong woman, But she is smart & warm.. what more can we ask for?
