Off to train club meeting. Maybe out to dinner if I can talk him into it
Have a lawyer on deck just in case.
HOT here so no outdoor fun today. Need to pick my tomatoes and get them in a pot before they rot.
So much to do.

Good one Pauly!! Too true!
We are at the lake and a huge thunderstorm just rolled in, so in the house for the moment.
In Florida, these storms pass in 15 minutes....

Corri? I would have to agree with you ? it?s a double standard. Unless they are still pulling the piss and it?s more sarcasm being aimed this way. It was their sarcastic comments about our lovey-doviness that fuelled my rant over there the other day. Sober, I can ignore their nastiness? with a drink in me, oh well, you know the rest. I get to be the bad guy, either way! Water off a duck's back these days.

Reccy? that?s some story about the ?kitten?? what a fantastic ending, you must feel relieved. Kitty is lucky her owners have such caring neighbours. :h

And Reccy, it?s been bothering me since I read your PM and, sorry, but I?m putting it out there. PLEASE don?t be leaving again? if you do it will be twice the same nonsense has put you off. I am not overly bothered by any of it any longer, I can ignore it and would have continued to do so had I not been, umm, ?under the weather?, perhaps you can too? If you stop posting Mama will be opening a can of whoop ass over losing her Beloved Mr Bear and the rest of the Steppers love having you here too. Don?t you folks? And so do I. :l

Dotts? you?re sounding weary, I reckon you need to treat yourself to something? massage or facial or mani/pedi? Renter?s dad sounds like a right nightmare.

Mama? good on you for putting ?Tucky in her place. What a PIA she is. How is your infection? Lastly, have fun at the lake house and make sure you get it ready for our octo-orgy. Tell Brett he?s going to be our cabana boy!!!

:waving: Fenny? hope you had a good time!

Nora? just build it up slowly at the gym. I?ve been working out since I was 27 and have stopped and re-started too many times? I just start out small and build up from that. And you know what? any exercise is better than none, right? :goodjob:

Hiya Alls! How are things with you these days?

Sunnybutt? where did you live overseas? (The two times you rented?) I could be wrong but you?re sounding a bit down, is everything OK?

Pauly? enjoy your day! If you go for that walk ditch the pepsi bottles!

Liz? I?ve had croissants in the back of my mind since I read about them yesterday ding it. With a good strawberry jam?

Kradle and Nursie? how are you doing?

?Hi? to anyone I missed.

I thought I?d have to get caught up on some stuff today but Bill?s covering for me so I can ?do my thang? to get ready to go across the Pond. I had a lie in then burnt 6 CDs to put in my car and generally faffed around. I should go to the gym as I only went three times this week, but I don?t think I?m going to. If I do I?ll only do 30 mins on the dreadmill. It?s actually a miracle I made it three times between drinking and working my butt off. So, I think I?ll take myself off to the stores to get some presents to bring home with me. I don?t enjoy shopping, especially at weekends when the masses are out, but I?ll feel better having got a few things.

On the subject of Mr Bill? I?d have to say he?s been really good lately. I?m quite hopeful that this time it?s going to stick. If it doesn?t, and there?s another incident, he knows he has to go. He?ll lose his place of residence, some of his clients, a contingency lawsuit he already put a lot of time into, and me and my friends (which is pretty much his social circle). It?s a lot to lose. I really put my foot down the last time, much more so than before, so fingers crossed. I know some of you think I?m nuts for not chucking him out but I have my reasons and a big part of it is the fact that it would wreck his life (see above) and he?s our business attorney and there would be carnage there too? so it?s complicated. Trust me luvvies, I can open a can of whoop ass almost as good as Mama and if I need to I will. And I really appreciate all your PMs on the subject ? you are a great group of people. :h

OK, I?m going to hit Kohl?s. I have a 30% off coupon so I hope I can find some pressies there. I'll put in a Word first, I think our game's in danger of expiring Reccy. Do you still play Nora?

I hope a?body is having a good Sunday... XXX

Cross post Mama. We had one go through last night that knocked the power off at the restaurant... it was a biggie. By the time we finished eating and walked out it was like it had never happened.

Hey it's fucking 12.46 am why oh why have I woken up and why oh why can't I get back to sleep......argh!!!

Reccy, i hardly know you and don't come with many qualifications but I can give ya this....:l

ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

Man, I really can't be arsed going to up to Kohl's today! It's up in Boynton and I reckon I'll go tomorrow. I'm going to hit the gym and Marshalls and CVS instead.

Pauly... you and those pepsis!!! I have a Kohl's card - they have a lot of coupons that require using their card. I get most of my clothes at Kohl's and Marshalls and I've been veering more towards Kohl's lately, easier than sifting through the racks at Marshalls. If I had the loot I'd just shop Macy's... but alas!

Reccy was very bothered by the previous goings-on on the Army thread. At that time I joined you Steppers and he left MWO. (We kept in touch daily for a long time via texts and Facebook.) He read something on their thread yesterday, and he told me it's difficult for him to "ignore the neighbors" and he's not sure he wants to continue posting on MWO. I hope he's not mad at me for putting it out there but it bothers me greatly that he's thinking of leaving again. He's a very caring man and he'd be missed for sure. :upset:

Quick fly by!
No time to read back yet.
I am doing well, a bit grouchy but ok. This quitting smoking thing is tough!
I have had 2 drinks over the course of the past week, and I know that cannot happen. I did not get drunk or even buzzed but I know better.
I will read back tonight!
Love you all

Afternoon!

Sunny, are these the water wizards your mum uses?

Water Wizard™ - Watering & Irrigation - Thompson & Morgan

We actually did have some proper rain today for a change, as well as some thunder and lightning. Enjoy your lazy day.

Zenny, I'm glad your stress levels are down and that you're getting some extra time to get on top of things today. I hope you manage to get everything done before you leave.

Yeah, I was very relieved about the kitty. Even in the short time she was with me I'd become quite fond of her.

Regarding bill, it sounds rather like a "three strikes and you're out" scenario. This really has to be his last chance, otherwise any threats to kick him out simply won't have a whole lot of credibility. Apologies for poking my nose in where it's probably not wanted!

That was a bit naughty posting on the thread about what I said to you in a PM. I would really prefer it if we could have that conversation in private.

It's perfectly natural that you would still be sad only a week after losing axl, mama, but it will get better with time. :l

Well done on putting pennsatucky in her place, it sounds as if you have the measure of her! Hope you're relaxing at the lake today and not working.

Nora, 12 minutes in the gym is fine. It's early days and you don't want to give yourself an injury by overdoing it. The important thing is that you're getting back into the habit of going, so give yourself a pat on the back for that! :goodjob:

Sorry about the problems with the renter's dad, dotts. Boohiss indeed.

Hope you enjoyed your horse riding cori and good luck on the work front. Are you still working/looking to work in the same field as before or did that change?

Glad you're doing well nursie!

:hallo: alls, pauly, liz, kradle, fenny and apologies to anyone I've unintentionally missed.

Hope everyone's having a great Sunday.

Hey everyone - yes reccy - those ARE the water wizards that my mum uses ! I tried googling here and for some reason that did not come up.

Zen - I am okay - I am going AF and always find the first few days a tad tough - I tend to go quiet when I am not feeling 100% about life, but I really have to do this for me. Once. And. For. All.

Oh - and I was in UK when we rented our house here out ......

Am taking it easy today - same as I did yesterday. Might do some ironing later as I have a huge stack plus more washing that is out on the line !!

Hi to everyone - enjoy the rest of your day .....
