Suzanne.

Your poor hubby, Nola. I wish him, and you, the best of luck.

Nola - I sorry to hear about Greg's job loss. Like Suzy says...not the best time for that. I, too, will keep positive thoughts for him.
Suzanne - you are welcome to this avatar of mine...just copy and paste.
I just threw it up there in case you want it.
Suzy - GREAT NEWS - you are so close now.
Dinner's on - got to run!

Vici: so much!!

I didn't get by yesterday to wish everyone a happy mother's day. I had figured out the VIP before she acknowledged it. The beastie boys got up early on Sunday to cook me breakfast. We had bagels and lox, deviled eggs and a blintz souffle. All of my favorite breakfast stuff. We then went to my niece's first birthday party. She had fun smashing her cake. My parents came for dinner and we had chinese food. We were going to go out but decided to just do takeout instead. It was a good day but Monday came and reality set in. Back to krow.

Sorry, but I am going to post and run. Caught up on the readings and forgot all I was going to say. I will be back tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day/night.

Hey TTT, glad you had a nice mom's day...voice is coming back slowly...what did the little beastie give you that he & dad were working on???
Hey, call me soon, ok?

Yeah! Inquiring minds want to know.

Just passing.. Good Morning everyone

Hi everyone! Just finished reading the last few pages - you've been very talkative lately! I seem to be spending less time here since I joined the genealogy site - I guess time doesn't stretch the way it should to accommodate all my activities!
We went out to a Greek restaurant for Mother's Day - it was nice, a set "banquet" meal, lots of meat, not many veggies (the boys didn't mind that!) and little bits of sticky pastry things for dessert. The kids gave me some nice pressies - a lovely fuchsia, books, bunches of flowers, etc. Had a very nice time,which was good as I'd been miserable and teary the day before, for no reason that I could work out. Poor Rob! We went to the local Farmer's Market on Sunday morning, but I skipped the gym and Rob went on his own. Now I should go by myself - but it's nice and warm inside ...

GOOD MORNING folks...just passing thru...
I'm off to see 'THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS'....I think!
Haven't heard back from the friend I was going with....she suggested 12.30 or 2.30.....I'm in BIG trouble if she decides on 12.30....

vibes coming your way Nola to help with hubby's job.
CRAFT's has struck and I've forgotten what else I was going to say...I'm outta here...

Hi everyone, just writing to say TTFN, very tired still from this sinus c@#p!! 3 days is enough!! I HATE being sick...just glad the wind isn't blowing, when the wind blows out here, it is a MESS!!Also need MUCH more sleep, still very tired. If the insomnia keeps up, calling Dr., gotta find something to help..Tea helps, but may need something with Rx behind it!! Will see you all later, TTFN!

Suzanne sweeetie. Sinus problems are really nasty.
Have you tried slathering your chest with Vick's VapORub? It's really messy, but usually gives me some relief overnight.

Hello lovely people.
Nola - sorry about Hubby's job. Hope something comes along soon.
Suzanne - you've probably long gone to bed but Heidi's right about the Vicks. I get my hubby to rub it into my back and it eases the symptoms.
Glad the world knows it's Vici who is the VIP - she told me on Skype at Broni's.
Tami - your Mother's day breakfast sounds impressive.
Judy - my Mum did our family history as far back as she could possibly get in the 10-20 years prior to her getting Alzheimers. There's little left to do but to record new members.
Hello also to Bean, Rolanda, Suzy and anyone else around.

Suzanne - get better soon
Judy - your mother's day sounds wonderful
Cyn - my grandparents apparently looked into our family history, I heard snippets of it anyway, but I have no idea what happened to the work they did. Wish I did! eg My name is Irish, but my closest rellie over that way was Scottish...
Bean - did you get to see the movie?

CynB. How are you and Colin doing?

Nola- phone is back on!
grumble grumble

They tell us that computers are the way to go, so we started paying our bills online...all very well but it aint instant! It still takes 7 days for their pooter thereto find out that our pooter here payed the whole darn lot!!!

Hello, Everyone!

Thanks for mentioning the Vicks VapoRub, Heidi. Suzanne, someone told me to try that on the bottoms of your feet, then throw on an old pair of socks.

Nola, I'm sorry to hear about hubby's job. Thinking positive thoughts here for a replacement soon.

Oh, DRAT, CRAFT's has set in. Since it's nearly midnight, I need to head off to bed, as we have an early morning - about 5:30 - to be up and ready to leave about 6:45 to get to an 8:00 appointment. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Same question, Suzy.

I'm waiting for the dogs to finish their suppers, then I'm off to bed.

Ditto Gail and Julie. It's getting busy here!

Again for Nola, I just finished reading the previous page and saw about hubby's job. I am very sorry to hear it. Sending heaps of positive vibes that another job will turn up.

All good here Heidi, but I am flying out the door as I type to pick up D#3 from school.
Back soon.
Bye all.

Hi-di-hi Heidi - thanks for asking, all is well with us. Things slowing down with the mowing due to the cooler weather but Col is taking whatever he's offered, including maintenance work at a customer's farm from our previous business.

Gail, isn't that SO typical of service providers - everyone else can find a transfer that went into their account on the next day or at worst the day after. Do you mean to say that they cut your access KNOWING that payment could possibly be in their backlog?
Fill in whatever words are appropriate.

Suzy - Mum traced back several generations on Dad's family and her Mother's family but she didn't get far with tracing her Greek father's family especially as they were from a small island in the Ionian Sea, Ithaki. All she could get as far as a birth certificate for her father, who never knew his own birthday, was that he was born in 1885.
But it is all so very interesting. Have you ever watched that British program called 'Who do you think you are?' - they also did a few Australian episodes (Jack Thompson and Ita Buttrose come to mind). They are so interesting, even if to begin with you have little or no idea who the person is.

Back now.

Yes Cyn, I loved that show. Kate Ceberano is another who was on the Aussie version.

Good afternoon all,

Hope everyone is well.

Yee Haaa!! She posted. Welcome Kathi.
How are you? And how long until you leave for the US?

Hey Cyn,
Yep, I was going to do a big "TAA DAA" with a huge flying thingy coming in, but couldn't find anything that suited.
11 Sleeps, and counting.... i'm so excited that i've already packed three times and now i'm exhausted....

Kathi's here!

Gday mate, been a long time. (I don't need to recite the alphabet any more, we can have an intelligent convo!)

Hey Kathi - have you looked at Keith's photos? The kiss is there!

Cyn, getting back to the telecommy thing, I didn't have all the facts when I rang them unfortunately, hubby had paid the bill but the pooter screen took too long to come up with the info so that I could speak with any authority on the matter.

Yeah Kathi, what were you and hubby thinking? I would like to see the same pose in a photo from America too!

BTW Did you all know it is Gath's birthday today, 12th May.

Hey Gail,
Thanks for the chicken dance thingy, I was starting to feel like a bit of a chicken..!! And guess what???? it didn't even hurt.

Nah, SA is painless, most of the time. It's the addiction that is the issue...

My name is Gail, and I have a problem...

Hang on, new person. Keep forgetting to "refresh"

Now, 'the kiss, let me tell you, if my husband sees that, boy am I in trouble.....

I can give you a chicken dance as well, Kathi.

That felt good - haven't done that in a long time!

LOL,

My name is Kathi, and I have more than one....
