\*\* Swampy\*\*, I don’t know what’s scarier if I reply: that they’d take my $ & put me on their sucker list or actually send me _something_ that I’m supposed to put into my body.

I’d occasionally bring the bus home while on duty. Invariably a few days later a neighbor would ask if everything was okay since they saw the bambilance in the driveway. :smack:

**Spidey** you could have told your neighbors no you were just takin’ it for a test drive before you made the decision to buy. Chances are they would have understood. 😃

Hello Mumpers. I’ve returned from a from a wonderful vacation on the beautiful island of Kauai. We had a great time with lots of laughs, fun, sand and warm tropical waters.

We even tried paddle boarding. I got the hang of it fairly quickly and enjoyed myself immensely.

I was up late every night and up well before the sun rose every morning. I sat on the lanai in the morning watching the sun come up and made friends with a lame chicken and a feral cat. We named the chicken Hop Along. We figure she must have hurt her leg because she escaped during a chicken and cat round up.

I was sorry to leave Kauai and the time just flew by. On the other hand, I missed my dogs immensely and they were so happy to see us when we arrived home last night. They are sticking to us like glue today.

Here’s a link to the pics. You’ll probably find most of them boring, but there are some pretty pics. Many contain images of our friends too.

Oh the Calvus & Julies and the Shellies should be friends! Yes, the Calvus & Julies and the Shellies should be friends! One fish likes to push a plow, the other likes to chase a cow. That’s no reason why they can’t be friends! Territory fish should stick together. Territory fish should all be pals…

It’s a stretch, I know. 😃

I irked, since it was Associate Appreciation Day(not that kind of appreciation, pervert!:p) I had to go to :eek:Wally World:eek: for beer and end tables. I now have two women on Match interested in me. I put that I was every woman’s fantasy on my profile\*. Dinner is poke chops and chicken soup with matzo balls.  
rosie, me too.

**Nut** , weird. Sounds kinda like the Hood used to be.

Nice pics, **Taters** , and welcome back!🙂

\*I put “I like to cook and clean”, but same thing.😉

Have been lolling about for a while, watching a movie online. Should finish putting away laundry and fall asleep.

Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice, so hopefully I’ll be able to paint on my day off.

Looking forward to **Alien’s** OP.

Hugs all.

So since I don’t know any of y’all IRL and it is really really hard to keep something like this to myself for 3 months , I wanted to say  
I AM PREGNANT!!! I took the test today and it was a strong positive. :eek:  
**LL** and **LM** are going to be a big sister and big brother, hopefully to just one baby this time. I don’t know if I could handle another set of twins…LOL

(I wanted to wait to tell anyone other than close friends and family until I have made it through my first trimester due to my last pregnancy being high-risk, plus I don’t want to get all blabbity to irk just yet until I am further along and have worked out maternity leave in case they think it is going to affect my ability to do my job, because it isn’t. )

Thanks **doggie** , I am still a bit wigged out about it. My twins are turning 5 in November and I sincerely thought I was never going to be able to have anymore, since technically I am infertile due to a medical condition. The DH and I have decided this is definitely the last one, and I will take the necessary steps to make sure after this one is born. I am done!
