So, here I am, fighting with google groups and just seceding screw the
new format, I want the old crappy one back because at least I can
REPLY to the POST I am reading. And then I thought hellwitit I'll
just make a new post and people can figure out how to work things and
reply to me. Or not.
I don't recall if I ever told y'all -
I booted the live-in Mr of 22 years because I couldn't stand being
chained to a couch by a potato any more. A cranky, I hate going out,
don't talk during my show, sleep in the chair and spend all my, then
all your, money Mr. And despite the line just back there <, I'm not
bitter. And, as of this month, I'm not broke anymore, either !
I was single for a few years. Met new dude. He's an awesome dude.
We don't live together, it's more fun to visit back and forth (15
minute drive, not a bad thing) and hang out and still have space. I
don't get to herd firefighters any more - I'm herding numbers and
emails for Audit & IT (still in same city gummint, just new digs and a
way less evil boss) and doing the occasional project for the Mayor's
office ladies.
My Lexi of the grey woolly bully look died, kidneys crapped out, I
cried cried cried and tried and the docs tried and they even cried but
she's gone. Even at the end, in so much pain she couldn't walk, she
was sweet and loving and I hated having to tell them to go ahead and
end it. I still miss her.
I still have my Ebi dog, and have added a sweet little rescue named
Flower to the family. She's a chiWOWwa, toy poodle and yorkie mix,
and prior to my adopting her had heart surgery ! and has a stent
holding a vein open so her little heart can work properly. She thinks
she is 8 feet tall and 2000 pounds and has no fear at all of anything
- except missing out on a tummy rub.
My parakeets are gone - I had a bunch, started with a few, eggs
happened, eggs hatched ! joyous moment the 1st time, not so joyous the
2nd or 4th. Gave them ALL away to a good home. Have 2 female finches
now, they can lay all they want, no poppas to make the eggs fertile,
heh. They go Mmmp mmiip mmmememp all day in little voices. Once in a
while they say MEEPMP. Don't know why.
My mom had a stroke, started to recover, then was diagnosed with
cancer and died of pneumonia 10 days after cancer found. In a weird
way, the stroke was good - the year between her starting recovery and
her dying was hard, but in all my life I rarely got to joke around or
kid with her, and when her brain lost the ability to apply brakes she
got funnier and more fun to be around, (when she wasn't having a cow
about being locked up with a bunch of feeble old folks (she was not
one of them, oh no, uh uh - mms was always blind to herownself's
reality)) not a usual case per the docs. She fought tooth and nail to
go home, and I am sad that she never did get there. We got her as far
as assisted living, a small condo was the next step, alas, never
taken.
My niece is 10 ! I finally sold my sebring convertible and bought a
new car - 2013 Fiat Sport. Small, but all I need. Drives well.
Ok folks, that's it, all caught up. I'll be back in, oh, another 5
years ?? heh. maybe sooner. Give me a few minutes to exit the room
before throwing fruit, thank you. And goodnight

good an imitation of one. Check if your ISP offers newsgroups, and try
Thunderbird or one of the other free newsreaders?

format with no way to get back to the old. What I do is go to:
http://groups.google.com/?pli=1
which is the way into the oldfangled groups altho it also features a
warning that it's Going Away Please Try The New Crap.
When it dies for good, it's back to Eternal September in T-bird for
me.

followed it to a different "city" (pop 7000) and we still have Shova-
dog and Orlin-dog plus Monster Child-cat who bitched all the way here
but lurves her new barn and 2 acres. Wife wants goats to keep the
Scotch Broom (weeds that give her the ATCHOOs) down and chickens
because I eat eggs and she likes keeping critters.
I think we're up to eight grandkids now. Four of them are coming to
visit this summer (not at the same time!) and my ten-year-old city
girl granddaughter in PHX AZ evidently is in preadolescent lurve with
horses and expects me to buy her a real pony ("Mommy, can we get a
horse?" "No honey, horses cost as much as a car to take care of."
"Well, we can get a horse instead of a car!" "Daddy can't ride a horse
to work." "Grandpa will get me a horse I bet!"). Not gonna happen. We
have friends who have horses and are happy to let her go for a ride or
two, but I'm gonna have them let her help feed, clean up after, and
generally find out what a pain horses can be to keep up.
If she still wants a horse after all that I may kill myself. Or, she
could stay here which would give her parents motivation to move up
here...
