One Step at a Time - March 2014

Dull, overcast day here today... I'm slobbing in my pajamas.

Yesterday was fun... ten of us, all women... a noisy group! After we ate we went to sing karaoke... Gawd! Then went to see a band on the way home... they impersonate Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and they were really good.

I'm going to shower and go out at 3.00 with Cheryl and Norma (her mum)... bit of shopping then dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, just going to hang out at Cheryl's after. Norma's going to put lowlights in Cher's hair as the salon highlighted her too blonde last time she went... now THAT should be interesting. Better PM me your number Pauly! (Just kidding!)

Hope everyone's having a good Saturday... X

Karaoke sounds like a blast

Making real progress on the mess. I have lots of pictures and things for folks I don't know. I know my mother just couldn't throw the stuff away but I must..going to the recycling bin. Found graduation books from 1929 and my great aunts diploma from "normal school". Which was a school for teachers way back when. Taking a short break then back at it..cold rainy day is good for this kind of stuff.

Holy Crap on a Stick! Weather! The wind and rain turned my umbrella inside out and I abandoned it getting into the car... I was SOAKED! Threw the MoFo away so I could close the car door... and had a hot shower as soon as I got home.

Now I'm on the couch... with Dexter. The show is growing on me.

How's everyone else doing tonight?

Morning lobbies. Went and had sushi last night. I am Season 3 of Dexter.
That's interesting about lyrics. You are right. I can't Rembrandt why I walked into the room, but I can sing me some Tom Petty!
Lazy morning, but I plan on heading out in a bit for fill on my nails and a trip to the grocery store and then
Nana's for dinner

OK... this is, without a doubt, my most embarrassing post of all time.

So... Cheryl and I are out at the front of our houses when the guy comes by with the dog. (Cher knows about the "incident".) So, with her there as back-up if it went wrong, I approach him and start up a conversation... with a view to turning it around to the girl that had his dog in my side yard. A bit of pleasant chit-chat and I ask him the name of his dog and he says "Princess". After a moment of complete WTF??? I say "It's a girl???" Yep... it's a girl.

Frikken Cheryl laughed like a bloody drain afterwards... and said I need to go get my eyes tested, my glasses are years old and I need a new prescription.

So all the upheaval on the thread over the alleged dog abuse was for nowt. She must have been tickling her tummy? Looking for fleas? Feck KNOWS! And thank FECK I didn't call the cops. And luckily the HOA didn't move on it either. More embarrassment there. :upset:

Admittedly, she was acting high/strange/whatever... but that's none of my frikken business.

And there was Pauly about to take a break! OMG... it's really not funny but it is!!!

Us lot are so over-sensitive. Women run on emotions a lot of the time anyway... but I see it here on the boards much more-so than in "real life". Maybe because we share our thoughts here more than we do with our face to face people? I dunno.

I think I'll quote this post and PM it to Glass to make sure she reads it. I can totally understand her being upset about an animal being abused. I've spent hours signing petitions for animal rights causes and I really do get it... it's extremely upsetting to animal lovers to hear about abuse cases.

Gah!!!! I feel like a complete eejit.

Zen by, my love. I think this incident says so many things on so many levels....where to begin... :nutso:

The phrase that I keep hearing over and over in my head is. " No good deed goes unpunished...."
We all make mistakes about what we think we see or hear or people mean .........

In the end, you were doing exactly what you should have in light of what you believed to be going on. You are a champion for this!
The fact that is wasn't what we thought...we'll, it makes for a very funny story and of course, relief that this dog wasn't in the care of crazy people ...

And the big take away from all this is ...drum roll please....YOU DIDNT DRINK OVER IT :wd:

...And isn't that why we are all here in the first place??? Sometimes I think this is getting lost in amongst all the drama and the distraction and I for one am having a very hard time with that....actually...a really hard time with all that....stuff....:yuk:

There I said it.....

I will never leave MWO because I don't see the intent of this place changing- the landscape may become uneven at times but The reason I'm here and the reasons any of us are here are the same....

Okay, I'm done ...I'm going to go hobble to the kitchen now for some coffee.
Love you:h

Kradle... what are you doing for your ankle? Are you icing it and are you using an ACE bandage? You should stay off it as much as possible... so stop that hobbling! :l

"No good deed goes unpunished"... well, I would have done a very BAD deed if I'd called the cops. There but for the grace of God...

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm :nutso: !!!

Off to buy some tickets for Queen of Hearts in a bit. Down to 3 cards and over 100K in the pot. Man, it would be nice to win!

Zen - I just adore you. :h Very brave post you made. :H
The thing is - and I actually PM'd Glass about this......I told her that I thought it was a misunderstanding and how easy it was to do in this type of forum. :l
In "Real" life, we would have been chatting with each other & understanding what the other one was saying. That's so hard to do here. We try to type to express our feelings/thoughts/emotions.....but sometimes, our meaning does not come across as how we meant it.

Anyway - this whole thing has just hit on something that I have been trying so hard in my life to deal with. Had a few arguments with my hubby, actually.

So - on another rant......

Son went out last night. Told us about it, was going to a 'farewell' party. Anyway - he's in Newport Beach. Been drinking (a lot, I'm sure!), walked out of the restaurant/bar.....and was approached by a homeless person that asked for money. Sonny said that he didn't have money but would be happy to go get him some water, etc. So, Sonny went back in and got him some water and ran straight into the policeman. After over a half an hour of Sonny explaining that yes, he had been drinking but that he was going back into the club and had just brought the water out for this person.....he was told that he could leave and to not do that again. (Go to a club or help a human being with water??) And during this whole time that Casey was standing there with the cop explaining himself, somebody came and robbed his phone that he had laid down next to him while he talked to the cop. AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH
