does anyone else here watch Glenn Beck?
I love this show, this one and the Lou Dobbs power hour too

I get my daily 'surge' from glenn at 5 pm. then watch lou after
I love both of those programs

but on another note i would really like to put up a serious fuss about those darn weights my hubby has in his bedroom. I Have been tripping over these weights for nearly 20 years, honestly if I could lift them I would heave them into the driveway..i hit my ankle bones on those suckers twice today. In all those years I have never seen him lift weights So i ask "WHY AM I TRIPPING OVER THEM ALL THE TIME"..

I am having trouble understanding something this morning, I have put videos on my blogs from other sites before with no probs.now i have a video that i am trying to post there and it simply wont post..only all this gobbledy gook computer language appears
can someone help me that understands this problem. I also notice that i go to many sites and want to share a video or something and they give this whole long list of 'share with' but BLOGGER is NEVER on any of these lists that i see..why is that? should i find another site to host my blog. Is Blogger some sort of 'keep away from' kinda thing or what? why is it never 'listed' as a 'share' venue?

today i must go to an 'outdoor' function. it is POURING rain and yet they did not cancel and I must go, HUBBY IS DRAGGING ME..
I would much rather stay curled up on my couch under my covers and watch a good movie today than be drug out into the weather.

I hope you guys all stay dry and cozy, and think of me out in the drenching rain, watching a bunch of probably what will turn out to be drunks.(i dont drink)
and in the end playing taxi, story of my life, it is enough to drive me to drinking i tell ya.. sometimes i think god if you cant beat then go ahead and join them, but god i hate that 'next day' it takes me days to recover from a drunk..

so i watch and smile and shake my head...dummies..

anyway, i am off now..have a great day guys

Steve you do look very nice in that nurse outfit ...I know if I was sick i would call apon you lol .

I can be a great comfort in troubled times!

I thought for a minute that you had used Jordan's body Steve.........then I realised that the knockers aren't big enough.......who thought you had that figure underneath I am sure you are well known for your bedside manner

Drive carefully designated driver Kay...........now here is the revenge - phone every single soul that you drive home at say 5:30 am and ask if they left their wallet/phone.........whatever in the car as you found one.......heh heh heh .....................nothing worse than that shrill phone with a hangover, so I am told.......I am one of those lucky people who doesn't get them - always the first one up cooking breakfast................radio blaring and having fun at everyone else's expense!

Me too. I am a morning person. I used to be a late person when I played in the band, Getting home from gigs at 2 - 3 in the morning, but I now just love the early mornings. Best time of the day!

my hubby even though he is usually one of the 'drunks' at a function is also one of the first ones up and blaring and singing to the radio.
my husband can sing girls, he can honestly.
He sings blues, and will have some blaring in the background and just awailing along, and dancing round the kitchen, me ( i sleep on the couch) trying to tune him out, cant help but just laugh and smile.

oh man can he sing..i love it! his singing and dancing has carried on through all of our marriage, and it has always made me just adore him so much. we used to go out dancing, before my skin started acting up..i wont go now.. but he is such a large man that we would start out slow dancing and by the end of the song he is just a swinging me around like a doll, my feet not even on the floor...LOL we had such good times when we went out.

I miss that..

Well I made the mistake of marrying (then rectified it by divorcing) a member of a band........no dancing. And then there is jealosy if you dance with someone else! No winning either way! No wonder I danced ballroom for years after the separation!

? what were you supposed to do? just sit there and gaze at him adoringly?? Screw that, i was always the one jumping up on the bar, the table...I always got the party jumping..Jealousy is one thing I DO NOT ALLOW IN OUR LIFE.. It does nothing but destroy .
My hubby is a flirt, and a charmer, but i never felt 'threatened'..
I flirt alot, I have many male friends, i have never given him any reason to feel threatened,and if he ever was, he never let me know it. He is friends with most of mine, there are a few of my friends he would rather i didnt see, but he gets over it.
Same here, he has some pretty hot chicks that work for him, and when they finish a project, they all go out to celebrate..I trust my husband and if he decides to stray, after all these years, very good ones, i think i could forgive him. but i dont even think i have to worry bout that

I always say, there are two types of people in the world, MALE AND FEMALE, and if you think i am not going to talk to half the population just to appease you , think again buddy..

I bet he's too scared to have an affair!

thats what he says!!
"its cheaper to keep her" remember that song?

LMAO

I am moaning about my family!!!!!!!I have three GROWN children... Just like when they where small if one is not getting into something the other one is... I am afraid to answer the phone... I am afraid it may be them..I really think there is spy equipment in my art room because about the time I start to draw or do some thing in my art room. They call with problems or drop by with problems. I just want some peace and quit time to draw and listen to some soft music... I would love to be on the beach just listening to the waves but nooooooooooooo. I am stuck in misery...other wise known as Missouri....I have decided to lock all the doors, turn off the phones, Maybe go get the mail. Then I am going to lock my self in my art room and not get on any site but draw space.. They never go there.!!!!! I am 46...I just got or am trying to get back into my art work. My husband and I are taking care of my elderly father. When he goes to heaven My husband and my self plan on moving to FL... Or maybe I could do like Kay and move to main...too cold for me..It just seems like I have been there for every one now it is my turn.. I want to live draw paint and be free.. Five years from now I will be found with my sketch book and camera some where on a beach in FL..Maybe get an RV when they find us we can pack up move to another town...As in Shrek the kid movie I loved it! I am a Mother on the edge..Is any one's family out there keeping them from doing there art.???????? This is my moan and it too shall pass....

.Poor thing, that is what i would do..no phoning after 8 pm..their probs will have to wait till the next day..explain to them that you need some 'you' time, in order to be at your best to help them. and if that doesnt work. kick em all the heck out!!! time for some tough love

I think you should gather your family together and explain that you need some time to yourself. Explain how selfish they are being and tell them to grow up!

well I am a mother and I am 46 as well ..I help take care of the lady across the road she is 93 ...then I am forever helping my kids friends with a place to stay or food ect ....we give so much of ourself that there is such little left ...I have been told that I need to not give as much of me but it is hard .

I have to say I do get time to do my art ....but rarely can I do it during the day time hours ..its like I am in such high demand ...I have felt as tho I was going over the edge ...could be the age ...could be my cycle is always off ...but the RV idea lol I have that dream as well ...I LOVE my kids and everyone eles kids lol but I need to take the time to love me .

You all realise that insanity is hereditary..............................you get it from your kids!

Shadow I see you like in the start of the "Everybody Loves Raymond" - but in reverse - you are locking the kids out..........sorry - just can't get the image of you switching everything off and hiding in your own home out of my head. I think Kay is right - tough love........tell them that they need to make an appointment to see the therapist and she is going to start to charge!

Shadow , the secret is one you have used on them for years. Reverse Psychology. All you have to do is ask them to do something major for YOU that they don't want to do, the kind of thing you have to nag them to do. YOU will not hear from them for weeks.
Now I have a gripe. Insomnia. I have always been an early bird, I am self-employed and have my shop here at home. The early hours are the most productive hours, so I would go to bed at a decent hour. Now I am trying to do some art work everyday and find the night hours are the most relaxing, I don't feel rushed and the phone stops ringing, but the lights you use to create daylight are keeping me up to all hours, I mean I find I sit here to 1 to 2 in the morning. I have no self-discipline at all to make myself put down the pencils and go to bed at a decent hour.

Nancy join the club. I am like a baby with nights and days mixed up. It all started in the early days of the internet when we used to frequent chat rooms using irc (internet relay chat). As the folks from the USA were going off line, the folks from Australia and points beyond would be coming on line and we developed many friendships around the world. The only drawback that we wouldn't be getting to bed until the wee hours of the morning (I consider your 1-2 am early). Doing this for so many years, it completely ruined my circadian rhythms. I have started to work on bucking this trend. I have been going into the bedroom earlier, spend some time journalling, I brew a cup of herbal tea (chamomile blend) and have been taking melatonin which is a supplement which is supposed to regulate your sleep cycle. I have had some success with this regime, but I am dealing with a habit that took years to make, I am hoping it won't take years to break. It is a gradual process, and so far, has been effective. I still have my bouts with insomnia, when sleep won't come no matter what I try. Like you, these late nights seem to be my most productive as far as art is concerned. I don't want to squelch my creative side, but a girl needs her beauty sleep! I hope I have given you some ideas to try. Good luck in whipping the demon insomnia.

Nancy B,
I have been staying up late forever because like you said the phone does not ring etc.. it is nice to have the time to just focus on art... it can wreck your day time life... I do not want to get up till 11am etc.... I have always been this way but others seem to think I need to go to bed at a certain time I am disabled because of my back five operations and time is not an issue, like when I worked and raised my children...I do some times keep my hubby awake by dropping things and My father could not hear any thing because he is hard of hearing...Who made the rules and what is a decent hour.. I say if you are inspired go for it how ever if you have to get up early you are going to be tired and feel really crappy...

You should never worry about time! Time is an illusion. Live your dreams girls! (Maybe not that one where you're naked in church!)

Hi shadow,
I had a similar conversation with my therapist and she agrees with your sentiments about what a decent hour is. I think that some of us are just naturally night owls. I find I am at my best later in the day, I never was the "crack of dawn" type. 11:00 am sounds like a great time to get up, it is when I usually am up and about.

Does that mean I can stay up late and draw and send you the bills to pay Steve?? What is your address. I need to be up early to work, I am tired at night when I quit working, but after sitting under the ott light thing-ma-bob lamp and the light from the computer screen my internal clock still thinks its daytime and I am not ready to call it quits. I tried going to bed and doing the art work in the mornings but i always feel rushed because I know I need to be working. But if Steve will volunteer to pay the house payment , light bill, telephone bill, etc. I'll just quit working and stay up all night and draw. Its just one of those things in life with no easy answer.

Me too !!!

Night duty will ruin your sleep habits no trouble at all. I did what we call "Agency Nursing" for a long time......that is where a hospital can ring an Agency for extra staff - well everybody is always off sick on night duty so that is when you get most work - did that for years. Then I worked in the one place, unfortunately they didn't have enough Anaesthetic Specialist RN's, and so with all my years of that specialty in a large referral hospital I did night duty all the time, only trouble was that on night duty I could only sleep for about 2 hours in the morning and then about 2 hours in the evening - can be very exhausting. But the hardest thing was that I did 4 nights, 2 days off 7 days as a Community Nurse (home visits), one day off and back to nights.........did that for 8 months and it nearly killed me ...........my body no longer has any idea of when it should sleep !!

As an anaesthetist, I would think knocking yourself out would be childs play?

Send all your bills to me girls! I have a special place for them

OK, I'm off to run naked through the church now.

Yup Steve...........I too could end up like Michael Jackson ..........milk of amnesia is what we used to call Propofol ! Unfortunately though I don't suffer alcohol hangovers, any sleeping tablets wipe me out the next day! So I used to rearrange the furniture in the night..........used to drive my ex-husband crazy when he would get up in the dark to go to the loo and stub his toe on the coffee table that is not where it was last time he looked .

And how is the Vicar taking this new streaking thing that you have got going? Or are practicing so you can put on a protest at the Christmas nativity scene in the vestry??

they probably cant tell him from the pastor

She's quite happy with it. And I certainly con't wear a vestry!

I'll be sending the congregation disposable cameras Steve Click to view attachment

greeting guys and dolls..today i have been shaking my tail feather and getting my morning religion on..i hope you all have a glorious sunday, crack that beer, fire up that grill, and get your funk on..

that is my moms bday too..happy bday van! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!

Good boy Van............but Bundaberg overproof is the way to go............

but then again my favourite is their Dark & Stormy, when I do have a drink these days.......

Click to view attachment

and despite what Goslings think, and their attempt to trademark the drink name as of 2007.......................dark & Stormy is a uniquely Aussie drink and has been around since 1993 when the Bundaberg Rum company created a mixed drink with the famous brewed Bundaberg Ginger Beer. (well that's my gripe)

But unlike Goslings, Bundaberg Rum doesn't care if someone copies their drink in a bar with someone else's rum.......you might have to watch out for Bundy R. Bear though ..............you can meet Bundy (the Drop Bear) on you tube.............LOL

He says thanks guys ..he got a brand new 1 terrabite ..whatever that is ...really fast computer .. just the tower .. from a women across the street he always does work for for free ... wow he was so excited ...he already runs two monitors flat screen ..spoiled rotten .

morning guys...tomorrow morning, bright and early is my procedure..i shall attach a sticky note to my forehead to remind the good dr. why i am there, so I dont come home minus something i really need, like a foot or an arm..
very basic procedure, he goes into the upper tummy, takes a lil pinch, and sends it off to the lab, darn i wish i had the address to the lab..so i could double check where he is sending it and it doesn't end up in say some 'cloning facility'

my hubbys says' they used the same tool for both ends, they just 'wipe it off real good!!' he is so silly

LOL thats too funny hun ...maybe in the mid-evil times .. wow think about that ..its crazy how far we have come lol good luck hun ...I worry so much when I have labs ..always thinking the worst so I hate them .

Nothing to it! I've had that procedure both ends. Not at the same time I might add! You'll be fine.

Its only a big hose Kay!

Besides the Twighlight Anaesthetic is sooooo effective that 99% of people in the recovery section afterwards are asking when they will be going in ! It'll be a doddle............the waiting for the results will be the hard part!

I just stopped to watch an ad on TV for the Northern Territory and they were on the Adelaide River with a 6 metre saltwater crocodile (that is just under 20 feet people!!!), they think it could be between 60 to 80 years old!! It leapt straight up out of the water to take some meat and that thing was enormous!

I starting thinking of the size and compared it to fitting into my little cottage.....................its head would be at the one side wall, across the bedroom and almost all the way to the opposite lounge wall! I think I would be an hor' d'oevre !! Don't think I will be going near the Adelaide River!

wow..holy rat traps, i hope they keep him protected....that is one 'monster croc'

does anyone else here watch the 'sons of anarchy'?
omg, I cant believe what happened on last nites show..poor jemma, things are going to get ugly now!

wow, i am starting to feel like the only one here that watches t.v. at all.
no one here watches 'so you think you can dance?
no one here watches 'glenn beck or lou dobbs?
no one here watches the 'sons of anarchy'?

i always knew i was always the 'different one' perhaps even bordering on 'wierdo' but i was sure out of nearly 4000 members at least 'one other person' would have someting in common with me?

We do all have something in common, sweety. Drawing! No really, there must be plenty of people here who watch those shows, they're just not speaking up. I don't watch T.V. except the occassional show like Dexter or True Blood. It's great that you have so many varied interests, don't feel bad about it.

mindy your avatar is wonderful! you are right about that drawing is something we all have in common hunh..?
I have always been oddball out, blacksheep,
I think I am having trouble still after all these years to fit in, to find my niche..
I dont drink anymore, so i dont have the weekend drunks anymore, and that seems to be what most of my friends live for, i steer clear of it. so i am not the 'coolest'
I dont do pills/ drugs, so i dont hang out with alot of ppl, because they do, i dont care that they do, its just not for me is all.
when i was drinking and doing drugs, i had so many 'friends' I always had someone to hang out with, but I have grown up and most of them has not..that doesnt make them bad ppl it just makes it uncomfortable for me to be around very often
out of a whole passle of children, 9 bros and 6 sisters, I am the ONLY redhead, so you can imagine the 'grief' I took growing up..My sisters were the 'worse'
now i have taken interest in drawing these past 6 or 7 yrs and NOT ONE person that I know has any interest in it, not drawing, not talking about it, not discussing artworks or artist..zero interest in any thing i produce so i no longer try to show them, i do it and slide it under the bed
I just feel always 'the different one'

thanks mindy

oh and they took out a couple of polyps from the duodenom, didnt know that part could get polyps. and the biopsys he took are on their way to the lab, about 2wks or so he will let me know

Maybe a middle name? Mine's Samantha.

lol

how about 'house' anyone watch that one..i love that one, wish i had a dr. house

Hi Kay,
I used to be addicted to all of the Law and Order programs, all of the CSI programs, House, and Forensic Files on TruTV, and anything on the Ivestigation Discovery channel, but lately, I can't seem to concentrate. Must have something to do with this "widow's fog" I am living in.
I thought that you and I had similar taste in political talk shows, but I am finding we are opposites. I am a huge fan of Keith Olberman's Countdown, and the Rachel Maddow show, gotta love a gay woman who is that smart! She is a Rhodes scholar, and has a doctorate in political science and is one helluva great debater and commentator.

ye hes right could be worse the best things r milkshakes coz they fill u up [to a point] like when i went through my distraction op. if ur in2 gorey stuff its probably best to look it up also good brocli milkshake
