Aww your poor mommies staying up until ten is tough. I remember those days. The dog woke me up at four am, which is when I realized my younger daughter was not yet home. Thankfully no al in the house or that would've been a reason to reach for it. She's a handful that middle one of ours. Thankfully she came home safe and sound after many texts and phone calls! Boyfriend is leaving tomorrow which I think is probably a good thing.
K9 I love the hair cut, she's beautiful! Happy weekend all!

OMG...the spaceship picture!!!
I LOVE IT and Sierra's hair!!
4am?? I would have been flipping out....but I know my 21 year old comes in around 2 all the time
I am on the couch and have to decided to stay home and watch the game online. I feel like poo and my throat is bright red. Hubs is being sweet about it. I really do hate missing his game, but I don't want to be there sick, either. I found some antibiotics from my last throat/ear issue, so I will pop one.

K9... such beautiful photos - I have to add my comments ... your daughter is so lovely... and her new haircut really accentuates her beauty... I know you are in close proximity to the Police Dept. from what I've garnered from your recent job pursuits... Can you go down into the "bowels" of the Police Dept.'s stash of evidence and grab a chastity belt from a couple of centuries ago.. you may need to... And, Jack.. isn't he a cutie? I so miss my dogs... My old guy, Benny (black lab) had to leave me almost 6 years ago, and then his buddy, Dublin (Border Collie) left us 3.5 years ago... I wish I could be like you and just open my home to another needful pup... I just have such a hard time losing them.... my horses, my dogs, my cats... but you are doing such a great job.. with your daughter.. with your pups.. and with this site... kudos to you my dear... I hope what goes around, comes around to YOU !!

Awww...Caper thank you! I understand about not wanting to lose them, but I do it for THEM, not for me. This guy was chained to a pipe at the Los Angeles Shelter....and look at him now! If my heart has to break when he passes, then so be it....it's worth it to me!

As far as my daughter...yeah, I'm gonna chain HER to a pipe. LOL

Mama - feel better. :l

K9 - love the pics.....keep them coming.

Caper - great to see you. :welcome:

Dottie - glad that you are feeling better. I love fresh asparagus.

Lizann - I've had many a night like that with my son. Not answering my phone calls or texts. Makes me crazy! At least that has improved 98%.

FT - Sounds very romantic. I'm so happy for you.

Glass - have a great weekend. We'll try not to do too much while you're sleeping. :H

JDG, Juja, Pauly, Kradle and everyone else that my brain just froze up on ......have a great weekend. Love & hugs.......:h

Jeez, Liz & K9, I'm a wreck when Mathieu is 15 minutes late home from school. I don't stand a chance in Later years...:nutso:

K9, Sierra is gorgeous! The apple didn't fall far from the tree and Charlie is a total love bug..

I met a woman tonight at the girls dance studio who works for Animal Rescue. She told me they have a 2 year old male Shepard in need of a home. They will only adopt him out to people who understand German Shepards...she has met Luna and...well..she wants me come down and meet the big guy.. I have seen pics and he is one handsome man! Still, I have puppy fever so....

Mama I'm sorry you are a grump but you're our grump :l can you give a recap about Clay? To be honest I don't understand what is going on with him...did he get a scholarship to a school he doesn't like???
Sorry to be so dim...menopause!!

Dottie so glad you feel better even though it means meds...still, we take daily vitamins so maybe you can think of it that way...:h

Glass, know what you mean about catching up!! It's like a sewing circle!!

And FT :l this is just THE best news! We struggle on our journey and work s hard, it's so cozy and bright to see your star shining along side another...and yes...you must keep us busy bodies posted...

Nora, Caper- hugs and heart to you and everyone. Hunkered down with Netflix and the kids.

Hi all, well as bright as my days have been today it turned south. No not me or my new friend all is well there, but I was trying to share my joy with a friend of mine today only to find out that she had passed recently. I got a hold of her significant other and he told me she died from drinking, I was dumb founded as I had no idea she was battling this deamon. She fell down broke her foot, was in the hospital but her liver and kidneys were shot and within a week she died as these organs shut down... She was only 47.
I am even more determined to maintain my chosen course and will remember her each and every time that uncle Al and his friend Nick come a knocking as I am stronger then they are.
Thanks all,
FT

Mama eggplant is easy to make. Just slice it dip in egg and breadcrumbs, fry till soft, add cheese and tomato sauce. I actually made my own sauce, we had so many tomatoes! Hope things are better with Clay. I definitely believe my drinking was a way to cope with things that were going on with them.

Nora, I think your labs are pretty close to if not within normal. Did the doctor say they were high? It took three months for mine to go back to normal after a particularly long "long" binge. Yah you'd think that would scare us sober!

K9 jack is beautiful! I just want to give him a hug! My little Lucy is sitting on my lap right now as I type. I didn't want a dog for the longest because I know how hard it is to loss them. But she has love us and cuddled us now for seven glorious years!

Dottie glad your feeling better. Lets hope they can figure this out.

I will check in later and see how everyone is doing.

Ft so sorry for your loss! That is scary stuff. Thank you for sharing as maybe we all need to be scared sober! Glad to hear things are going well with your new friend!

Oh FT...I am so sorry hun......very scary....
Clay won his game and played well. The entire family was there except for me.....and Nana and Pop :-(
But I had to beat him over the head this morning to get up and go review the films from the game....they are expected to do that on Sat mornings, and he was gonna blow it off. I went nuts and let him have it. BAD...needless to say, he is on his way to Sat practice.
I would post a picture of his cool poster hanging at the stadium but I can't remember how
K9.....the Jack hugs did wonders....he is beautiful so sweet looking.....thanks sweetie
I am going to lie here on the sofa and practice happy thought and not let work, Clay and Pop overwhelm me. I will pray for serenity and health for all of us......Pray, pause.....pray, pause...repeat
Kradle....when I feel up to it I will recap Clay....we transferred schools his senior year to give him a better opportunity for possible football scholarships and he has been a pain in the ass the entire time.
