Hi Cutie... What you doing ?
ReplyDeleteLet me give you the lowdown on my 5kids....The oldest one is sulking around since saturday , just like a boy ...HUH? The other 4 , I just showed them the cookies and gingerbread men and they wants to cook now and my little man tried to climb up and get him one.The kids is out for the holidays.
I am so glad they like the cookies.
ReplyDeleteHow are you??
How is Nana and what is she doing ?
ReplyDeleteHow is Brian doing , did you get your jiggle dance yet ???
I left the C off cookies. So you are making 'ookies'
ReplyDeleteWhy is he sulking??
I'm fine and we will bake some tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDad said he left you a note on SH.
He said he forgot all he wanted to tell you and I told him I would pull the post up so he can read it again.
I think maybe the icing from the sugar cookies recipe would work better on the gingerbread men than the icing in the recipe because it dries harder.
ReplyDeleteDo the kids go back to school tomorrow??
ReplyDeleteThat is so good to hear...Things are looking up for the one and only 'ROCK.'
ReplyDeleteDad was writing you a letter for me to put it in drafts and I told him when he finish just leave it and I would put it in drafts for you...he called me at Sis yelling come home I lost my thing...
Poor dad. I don't think he likes ths infernal machine. But it plays ticks on all of us now and then.
ReplyDeleteIt had posted and I asked him was he finished and he said no just throw it away he will try again later.
ReplyDeleteI asked him today was he ready and he said he would let me know.
These C****O's men are stubborn.
All four of them.
Now I understand why letters are not showing up. The battery in my keyboard is low. I can't change it till we are done so we'll have to put up wth it.
ReplyDeleteNo, they are out all week...that's why we have so many dumb ones ..so you see why we have to teach them or they will be lost.
ReplyDeleteDad left me short nte, not like his usual letter.
ReplyDeleteYou kids definitely get too many holidays.
ReplyDeleteI think I fixed my keyboard. I changed the batteries and did not blow you into cyber space.
I understand if dad is P.O.'d and won't expect a letter for a while.
He said he forgot some of the things you said and I told him I would get the dance post so he could read it again and his eyes lighted up ...so expected a long one soon.
ReplyDeleteDad just don't dealing with things he can't control I told him that may not ever happen again and he said there may have been something he didn't want people to know because his reputation is spotless and that's the way he will keep it .
I have some cute pictures of brown baby. He is five pounds now but they like to keep them in until they are are least thirty-five weeks just to make sure everything is developed the way it should be. And that he is feeding well and his digestive system is working well.So far so good.
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie , you can expect a note soon, he know it was his fault and now he asked me could he talked to you from Gil's PC and I said yes, but he will have to use mine if he wanted to talk private and just let me know and I will stay right beside him and then he just grinned...so he's okay.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news and I know S is so thrilled he will be home soon...I know he is adorable, that's why he kept pulling his tube out ...he wanted to eat.
ReplyDeleteI bet Brian just smile when he seen the picture.
Sweetie ..Dad is the biggest baby here and spoiled rotten.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel and I support you in that .
ReplyDeleteI am going to send you an e-mail..okay!
roger
ReplyDeleteINCOMING E-MAIL
ReplyDeleteLegal custody is almost the same as adoption.
ReplyDeleteI got legal custody of Sha and NAN let me put her in my name...no way could I give her up after staying with Sis when I moved, she wanted to be with Jill, so I bitch til she gave her to me.
I told NAN she had Sha for me.
Did you get your mail ???
ReplyDeleteI deleted 2 comments .
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the deletions.
ReplyDeleteGot your email and sent you one. K's story.
How do you figure that?
ReplyDeleteI got it and hopefully things will work out .
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome and you will do the same for me.
Have you heard from Jer ???
Tigers are so beautiful ...people better wake up, I will take the post to the meeting to let them know nothing is safe.
ReplyDeleteI don't want my traumatic memories removed ...that's part of my life, I want to remember my mama and what happen to her...everyone experience ups and downs.
ReplyDeleteWhen they set their mind on something , they will not bend , if you do them harm they will not forget.
ReplyDeleteI think the memory pill is dangerous. If you lost all your bad memories you would lose who you are. But it is amazing what they can do now.
ReplyDeleteTigers are like polar bears, they make people aware because they are big and beautiful.No one cares if the dung beetle becomes extinct.
Did you choose a name yet?
Wonderful...he is a young man on the rise ...I know you/Brian is so proud.
ReplyDeleteNo not yet but they have narrowed it down some.Some want to combine Society Of Nanook's Guardian ofthe Earth.
ReplyDeletePlanet Watchers..
I guess we may have one pretty soon they like them all.
Is this what I have to look forward to with my boys ???Haha.All your boys are good guys and you are proud.
ReplyDeleteHow is my twins???
Nanook's Planet Watchers Society.
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds great. You can get Tee shirts with Nanook and NPWS on them.
Dad just asked was it you and I said yes and he said to look for a letter tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Lilo's parents going to do now , she won't be making the movie about the porn star.
ReplyDeleteLilo is broke and can't pay for her treatments at rehab..i put my take as if she was my own kid.
Craig just said his penis is regular size...
ReplyDeleteCraig usually says it's small.
ReplyDeleteIt his main topic for his monologue.
As long as he's doing his best tell him that's great and tell him he's good in so many other things and he will get to do all the things in karate it just will take him a little more time.
ReplyDeleteLilo may mature in time but somehow I think she is more like Charlie Sheen who has never grown up.
ReplyDeleteYes that is the right thing to tell Jakey and I think his sensei has told him just that.
ReplyDeleteI understand that Gil is a karate expert. Boy that guy is very accomplished.
I have one more recipe for holiday treats. I wonder if I should put it up now or wait a while.
ReplyDeleteI was going to tell you I won't be on line Thursday...That's Turkey Day..Sis/aunt Mae/NAN/James are coming here and the others will be in and out having drinks and lying as usual.
ReplyDeleteI almot forgot Brown Baby/Robert/Nita (NAN's daughter/husband/baby)
Maxy is going to be mad but he sitll want to go out and get his RP
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Lots of family around. It couldn't be better.
ReplyDeleteThey picked that name from 2 of the ones you gave me.they just combined them..
ReplyDeleteNanook and Friends
Planet Watchers Society...
Cutie...you have a knack for names.
ReplyDeleteGreat name. I really like it. It sounds very posh.
ReplyDeleteI think you guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with. I will find some more things for you that might be of interest to the society.
Perhaps we should call it a night. I have a feeling that you will be up bright and early baking cookies.
ReplyDeleteI bet Dad told you that..Gil also know Kung Fu and he's going to enroll my babies in karate next spring.
ReplyDeleteIn his family and where he grew up , Dad said he wanted him to have every opportunity to protect himself and Dad says that's one of the reasons he can cortrol his temper.
I wonder if Gilly is old enough to start...I may come home and they have Elosie spread wide egale and staked to the ground.
ReplyDeleteThe time slips away and I will say good night.
ReplyDeleteTell Maxy it will not last long and not to hide under the bed.
[Giggles]
Sweetie I will say pleasent dreams and keep a smile on your face and the world will smile with you.
ReplyDeleteGoodnite...HUGS...KISSES...PIC
Kiss the Rock.
They may tie and gag Elosie but I don't think they will hurt her. If she can't put up with being tied to a chair for a few hours then she is not a good choice for your housekeeper.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight and stay well. Have a lovely thanksgiving. In spite of everything, we still have a lot to be grateful for.
ReplyDeleteSleep well and have delightful dreams. LUV & HUGS...PIC
