I'm not sure what to say today.
Perhaps I shouldn't say anything at all.
I'm sure that would make a lot of people happy.
Rob and Kristen have been pretty much off the radar.
A sighting here and there...
Nothing substantial.
No pictures.
I guess they will be filming the wedding scene soon.
That's a nice thought.
I remember the description of Edward in the book...
Bella couldn't look at anyone but him.
All I really saw was Edward’s face; it filled my vision and overwhelmed my mind.
His eyes were a buttery, burning gold; his perfect face was almost severe
with the depth of his emotion.
And then, as he met my awed gaze,
he broke into a breathtaking smile of exultation.
Bella Swan, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 3, p.48
Am I silly to think that Robert will be able to do this
without much acting?
His perfect face... severe with the depth of his emotion.
So Edward.
So Robert.
Yes. I can differentiate between Edward and Robert.
But you can always see how Rob feels by just looking at his face...
Especially when he is looking at Kristen.
Sometimes life really does imitate art.
I'm not sure where this picture comes from.
But the more I look at it...
It kinda makes me sad.
Rob just looks... tired.
Tired of cameras.
Tired of intrusion.
Tired of people watching his every move.
I don't know who took this picture.
If it was a friend...
Or someone who just couldn't let the man have some peace.
From the look on his face...
It doesn't seem to matter.
I was laughing, actually laughing, and there wasn’t even anyone watching.
I felt so weightless that I laughed again, just make the feeling last longer.
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 6, p.141
Kristen.
How can anyone look at that face...
and hate on her?
Look at her.
Look at her.
Really look.
She's so young...
So sweet.
How can anyone be so vile and cruel to someone
that they don't even know?
I'm not talking about an occasional jab here and there
No one can escape that...
Not everyone is going to 'like' her.
I'm talking about constant attacking and shredding.
The daily hostile and vehement assaults.
And for what?
To what purpose?
It's not going to change anything in your life.
It's not going to change anything in hers.
If anything...
It just makes Rob and Kristen even closer.
I imagine he is quite protective of her.
There’s something… strange about the way you two are together.
The way he watches you — it’s so… protective.
Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something.
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
I keep thinking about WFE.
I keep thinking about how it will affect Rob's career.
Oh how I hope this movie does well.
Again... I guess this sounds kinda silly...
But I'm so PROUD of Rob.
He knows what he wants to do with his career...
He has attached himself to great projects.
I find myself looking forward to WFE so much.
Not only because Robert looks amazing in what we
have seen so far...
But because it has become quite the talk of 2011.
Moviefone's 75 films we can't wait to see this year.
The Buzz: All eyes are on Pattinson as he takes on another major role
outside of the ‘Twilight’ series; Oscar buzz has already begun.
OSCAR BUZZ!!
Oh do I dare to dream?
Robert is definitely capable of giving this kind of performance.
I cannot wait!
That. That right there is why I’m angry. You are killing my buzz, Edward.
Bella Cullen, Breaking Dawn, Chapter 5, p.91
OK.
So one of the constant debates in this fandom
(and there are so many to choose from)
Is why don't Rob and Kristen just come out as a couple?
Well?
I could be incredibly selfish here and wish that
they could just relax and not worry about all the world watching.
And you know the whole world is watching...
I would love for them to shut up the haters who like
to spin that Rob can't wait to get rid of her.
But we all know it wouldn't change a thing.
There would always be excuses.
Rationalizations.
So anyway...
A dear friend of mine left some wonderful comments
on this blog last night...
Giving her point of view about this whole debate.
I liked it.
A lot.
So I thought I would share it with you.
I love the ideas you have for Rob and Kristen. You are right, I think they have manufactured this entire thing. She's gay (or dating Garrett maybe) and he's gay (or a manwhore) and they are dating each other but trying to get more PR by hiding it. I mean it is brilliant really, pretend to be private about a relationship and get tons of those happy paps to follow you around day and night, night and day. Who WOULDN'T love that type of life??? I mean, people leave celebrities alone if they just give them what they want right? Its not like people stalk actors and their families.
But see now wait, because I am pretty sure that last summer some might clear pictures DID surface of Rob and Kristen kissing. And they got them before that at a KOL concert. Then there were the pictures from airports and at a restaurant, and in cabs, and that whole thing where they were on vacation and NOT working and there are more. So in a way, they have been sort of confirmed as a couple. Plus, when they are asked, if there was NO relationship wouldn't it be easier to just deny it? I would if I were them. Unless....hmmmm....well just go with me on this one, unless it was like really important for them to try to keep something that is private just to themselves. I mean, even with all of that confirmation from the wonderful paps, they STILL get followed and chased and asked a lot of really funny questions. So maybe they just would rather not. I mean, they are not under contract to share every detail of their lives. Actually they are not under contract to share ANY part of their lives. All they are under contract to do is act and promote the films they do. Other than that, I am pretty sure, they are allowed to protect and defend the rest of their lives.
Sure I am thinking, its not the usual Hollywood game. I mean you are right. A lot of actors sell themselves and the details of their lives. But maybe these two just don't want that. Maybe neither of them knew what they were really getting into and maybe neither of them ever wanted any of this and maybe, they don't really give a shit what the business people say about how to "handle" their relationship? Maybe they just want to do their jobs and do them well but then have a personal life that is just theirs. Maybe promoting it, selling it, cheapens it and maybe it matters to them so much they REFUSE to do that. And yes, they probably know what you are saying...they know that it might be easier in some ways, to just go out there and announce it, but isn't that giving it away....selling it?

He’s very intense about you… and very careful.
I feel like I don’t really understand your relationship.
Like there’s some secret I’m missing…
Renée Dwyer, Eclipse, Chapter 3, p.67
Now you know.
No one’s ever loved anyone as much as I love you.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 687 Newer› Newest»Smitty - The appropriate response,as far as I'm concerned? - Explain how it could have been misinterpreted and then drop it!!
Smitty:
Not having seen the pic I can only go on your assertion that it wasn't too bad or overtly sexual...
That being said, 2 weeks of what amounts to social isolation seems a wee bit going overboard, but the parents probably want to make sure she stays an "angel".
But there needs to be some sort of consequence...can she approach her parents with an alternate plan? Perhaps once they've had a day or two to gain a little perspective, they'll realize they've overreacted and might appreciate a more appropriate "punishment" plan being presented to them in a mature way by their daughter?
Just a thought :) Good luck helping her out of this situation! You're a good friend...
Thanks Kenzz!
My solution is that I am going to overnight her a phone that is ready to go and to hell with the stupid rules.
Ha! yeah well chance would be a fine thing in that department Smitty! ;-)
According to the teacher it strengthens up something that makes you less likely to piss yourself when your old...I wanted to say all I want to do is be able to put my legs behind my head and I'll be happy!
Oh and yeah, I think that punishment is way too harsh (that okay? lol).
Smitty thank you I'll pass your response on to Alexis
As for your question...I think the parents totally overreacted.
Understand their concern but totally overreacted
Hey Liza,
Why do you want to be able to put your legs behind your head?
Yeah Liza,it's more fun putting them behind...someone else's head
Smitty-
Not that I know anything about handling these kind of situations, but, did you ever ask the girl what her reaction was when the mother approached her?
In my experience the mother just probably went a little bananas as she probably wants to PROTECT her daughter from everything. Being as the girl is an ANGEL and from your description I could not AGREE with you more! I am sure the mother LOVES AND ADORES her daughter and that by now they have probably discussed the situation and it has been resolved. I am sure the mother has come to her "SENSES" and the punishment that seemed so harsh in the beginning no longer applies. And the POUT that was probably on the girls face has been replaced with a BEAUTIFUL SMILE! But it is ADORABLE that the girll has such a GOOD friend that tag teams her mother and from the look of things the mother NEVER stood a chance!
Love you!
Park it again Angelica!
I gotta go work...bye guys!
Later Smitty!!
E well thank god you finally came to your senses! You just can't ever do anything to make her unhappy Elaine--seriously. She needs to be happy all the time so don't do that again please.
Tell Em I gotta go work but I'll talk to her tonight.
Love you too btw, even if you do totally overreact!! And yes, I know you want to protect her but two weeks??? Come on that was way way out of line.
Now should you be making her a sundae or something--lol!!
I see Smitty has left, but in case anyone else is interested, it is hard to raise kids with the internet so prominent in their lives. The internet is a really scary place especially to parents. I think the mom was just trying to impress that fact on the daughter. In my experience, I usually overreacted first and then after a day or two would relent after discussing all the ramifications with the errant child.
Smitty-
Already on it! LOL
PL-
Thanks for understanding!
Elaine,
Nobody understands fully until they are a parent. I suspect a certain someone will think differently when it is their child and this occurs.
PL: At the risk of being seen as condenscending towards one big-hearted young lady, I agree with you that things are always different on the other side of the table!
Elaine, good for you for being willing to compromise with what sounds like a wonderful daughter...if she's as sweet as Smitty says, you are obviously a great Mom!
Kenzz,
I realized it was a bit condescending but until you walk in those shoes...
Everytime you read about a kid getting caught up in something via the internet I always think, that could have been us.
Kenzz-
I try-but she really makes the job easy! She's truly a blessing!
Elaine - I got an easy one too,she actually listens to advice! I feel very remorseful towards my mother now.
Angelica-
I was telling someone earlier that I felt like calling my parents to apologize! LOL
E if we have kids I hope I am half a good as you and the other moms are.
Oh I don't know Smitty I just thought it may come in handy one day....something to show them in the old folks home!
*Oh look fellow old geezers, I don't piss myself and I can do THIS*
Hi Elaine :)
Elaine and Angelica,
I think knowing what you thought and did at that age makes us be more vigilant.
My husband always used to tell our son, "I know what is on a young man's mind at all times. Keep it in your pants."
Hallelujah! Holy shit! Taxes are done!
Where's the Tylenol? LOL
Smitty-
I'm sure you'll get it down right when the time comes. Sometimes I feel like I have no clue-lol-kind of trial and error thing!
Liza-
My god!!! It's been too long. Hope you are well honey it's great to "see" you here!
Susan...CONGRATS!
I can't get motivatedto drag everything out...I usually procrastinate untl the weekend before April 15th..
Hey Suse!
Hi Elaine darling, great to hear from you too! Sounds like everything is going fabulously for you guys, I'm soooo pleased :-D
Smitty:
You'll make a great Mom because you have such an open heart...that, and simple common sense, and you'll be halfway there!
Liza:
Picturing you in the old folks home showing off your yoga skills has filled my quota for humor for the day! Thanks :)
Thanks Kennzz.
I need to figure out a way to unwind now. I'm all bunged up.
Although Mr. Bee has professed his undying love for doing it for him.
Penny - I know what you mean!I found myself playing mediator,as was my mum. My dad insisted teenagers had no control over their hormones! My hubby is more like yours - he knows what young men are like,he used to be one.LOL
Elaine - It is trial and error.The worst times are when you know they're about to fall flat on their faces and you can't stop it .
just LOVE IT <333
you are wonderful Rose :D
Well e I doubt I will have kids so it's very easy for mento tag team you- lol!
Liza younwill be the most popular one there I'm sure!!
PL-
You are sooo right!
You know what's funny-a few weekends ago I had a night out with a girlfriend. When we came home we were a little tipsy and just joking around--she was totally acting like the adult, even said "sometimes I think I was born to be my mothers mother" LOL
Goes to show you parenting works both ways!
Liza, my love! How are you?
Smitty,
Never say never. The first baby I ever held was my own. Kids scared the heck out of me.
Suse! I'm great thanks...and it's Friday tomorrow, hallelujah!
How are you love?
Liza-
Everything is great! (as you have seen here just a tiny issue). Good to know you are good-keep up the yoga! We are doing the hot one and good lord! that shit is kicking our asses!
Susan-Congratulations!!! Have a drink or 20!
Liza
I'm trying to unwind from doing my taxes. Hate it!!!!! I need a drink and some chocolate.
Parenting
There is no way to really wrap your brain around being a mom until the baby is placed in your arms. Trust me--it's love at first sight.
Elaine
I want a drink or 20! Where the hell's the bar? LOL
Thanks Elaine, I'm thinking of trying Zumba. Have you tried that?
Although I'm not sure the world is ready for my ultra cool Zumba moves! LOL
Smitty-
Woman! all I gotta say is that payback sucks! LOL
Hope I'm around to tag team your ass when the time comes!
Liza-
I've heard about zumba, but have not tried it! It seems really fun. And like you I am afraid that people will not be able to handle my amazing zumba moves!
I envy anyone who can do zumba.
I'm so clumsy that I make walking a contact sport!
Susan - That made spit coke all over my keyboard! I'm not clumsy,just extremely competitive, I break a lot of bones,my own mostly
I'm competitive too so I would be bound to break a hip and take a few others with me.
E I doubt it will happen do I will take my chances with helping her. Besides she is always right and should always be happy! These are simple rules E --really u shd not have trouble with them.
I just got an e-mail from my dead father-in-law's e-mail address...I'm sure someone bought..hacked...something to get the rightst to it...but it was a note that said. "You no longer have to buy her flowers' and a link to a place called "Bootylarge.com"
WHAT THE HELL??
Sorry, Kami, I didn't know how else to contact you.
Just kidding. Wow that's creepy.
I know...I'm on the phone with my brother-in-law who got the same thing and he is all upset..he won't listen to me that it's some kind of scam...poor guy
lol Susan
Kami
What does he think it is????
Smitty-
Lol I guess as long as I follow the rules there will be no problem! But seriously, her happiness is all that matters so I am okay with that!
Susan-
Did you try looking in the back of your pantry?? That is where I hide the strong stuff!
Susan, he thinks it's his ex-stepmom playing tricks..just convinced him it's not
Kami - that e-mail issue is just creepy! :(
E - I would have done the same thing....over reacted a bit and then proceeded to have an indepth discussion that would lead to an understanding and elimination of the punishment. (He has my number that way.)
Smitty - you know we're all a little over protective around here, right?! :) The internet can be a vile place...even for angels.
Susan - congrats on getting the taxes done! woo hoo!
Hi and I hope you are having a wonderful night everyone!! :)

Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!
Beatles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khsn-nXBxs0
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair-what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flys through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summersets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
Thank you/AuthorizedRock
Dammit, I'm missing all the fun conversations because I can't stay awake for more than a couple of hours!!
Smitty.. when you have kids, you're going to be an amazing momma...
and E!! :) Yeah.. I got nothing new.. but I wanted to say hi.
And I've read the ethical Q's, but have no coherent response right now.. and it may not be the best time to ask me as I have been displaying some latent violent tendencies recently... (I totally blame the cold medicine)
Liza.. my love.. :) I miss you something fierce.
wait.. I've said hi to everybody once already today I think..
Hello.
I don't think I'm sticking around.. just saw my code word and it's penesco.. but I could have sworn I saw penis co.
For Everyone!

Hey DK.. I have a question for you..
Have you ever considered starting your own music blog? For reals? People seem to enjoy your musical musings, so I bet they'd really love it if you had your own site to talk about music on...
OoooooOOoohh.. You should totally call it "Some Enchanted Evening with Dreamer" That'd be awesome.
It's just a thought.. heh?
Kay, well it did stop me in my tracks to get an e-mail from a man who has been dead nearly a year...however I soon realized what must have happened because I can't picture Ronnie sending me a message that said "Kami enlarge your Pennis" on the title line, ...then inside said "Never buy her flowers again" "Bootylarge.com from the grave lol
@Tracy
Lovely of you to suggest it!
Right now, I'm doing a favor for Smitty, Gruff and Syd, in honor of our Rose.
We're posting the Beatles playlist and that might take a week. But I mix in other songs, too.
So, feel free to ask for your favorites, anytime.
Hope you feel better soon!
DK
((HUGS))
But, and just have patience with me and all that loveliness..
If you had a place to do it that was yours, you could post the entire thing in one fell swoop!! Then people wouldn't have to keep filtering through comments and music lyrics to find all the songs!!!
I think it's brilliant :)
Lovelies!
I'll be back after some evening errands and dinner out!
Be patient, for it is a virtue and is paid back tenfold, as we know. Kindness is like that, too.
More songs, more stories and more of more, await those who wait.
Laters...
DK
Tracy, sorry to hear you're still feeling horrible. Have you been to the doctor? I know there is a horrible bug going around..take care of yourself
DK and TRACY..Hi..i am finally back home from work. The convos have been interesting I see..
SMITTY... I never had the slightest yearning for a child until I was 27-28..Had my daughter at 31 and son at 34..I was convinced at your age that i would never have them...Things change..and HOW
KAMI...How weird is that..about the email thing...
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
I patiently await a music blog from you DK :) I do so hope it becomes a reality.
Hello, Tracy, Kami and Super!
Margarita helped with the stress. :o)
I'm glad Susan..taxes suck
Hi Kami and Super - how are you both today?
Kami - you get the most interesting e-mails (LOL).
It's quiet here tonight. Looks like the party happened on here earlier.
Hope you are both well.
“Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they”
Thanks, Kami
It sucked, but they are done, and I'm even getting money back! Ooooh yeah!
Have a drink with me to celebrate.
Thanks Kami..
I'm trying.. It's not the flu, so that's good.. fever's gone, but I have absolutely no energy.. I'm awake for a couple hours, asleep for three more.. that's how my day's been..
*air hugs* since I don't want to pass along any germies!
Tracy
Give me a hug too sisterfriend. I've missing you.
Susan
My security word is nocandi. What the hell do they mean no candy!? They don't know me very well.
Hi ladies :)
I guess Rose deserves a day off like anyone else, but I sure do miss her blog. I hope she's just taking a little break & everything is ok.
Hi Susan, Penny and Tracy - How's it going?
Susan - congrats on gettimg money back on your taxes. The only drink I have at the moment is a cup of tea (since I need something warm) so I'll have to toast you with that.
Tracy - sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Take it esay.
Penny - nice quote.
Freddie
Raise your glass! Cheers. :o)
Susan
lovely quote Penny
Sorry Freddie. I mean raise your mug. :o)
lol just raise something
That quote was Leonardo Da Vinci. I forgot to give credit.
Susan,
Hats off to you on doing your taxes. I just stick everything in an envelope and drop it off at the accountant's.
PL
If I had an accountant I would drop it off too! LOL
Oh well. It's done and I will be shopping in the near future because of it. :o)
that's what we do too Penny, we used to do them ourselves too, but with state income taxes...which we do not have in Texas...we just let someone else do it for us...usually get more back
Kami,
For years we did them ourselves but it just got too involved the last 10 years or so. Too many different things to factor in, I guess.
Susan - I'm like you, I'm my own accountant, and probably not a really good one. Unlike you however, I will be procrastinating to the last moment. It really galls me to give the government more money. Up here, they really love to tax single people with no dependents.
Freddie
Kids are great tax deductions. LOL
Susan - I'm not sure if that is enough incentive to get me to think about kids. I understand they're expensive in other ways...university, sports, clothing etc..
Freddie,
They suck you dry forever.
Freddie
Yep, and they want to eat EVERY day. Can you imagine? LOL Love 'em anyway.
No pressure! Kids come when they come. :o)
Penny have you been watching American Idol? What was up with the guy in the full body suit singing the Kelly Clarkson song? How freaky
test
Kami,
I forgot that was on again tonight. So my answer is no, I haven't.
Penny - LOL - but I hear they also give back in really consequential ways too.
There's a test??? I didn't study!
Hi Smitty
Susan
Freddie,
Um, I'll have to think on that.
Freddie:
Susan mentioned they eat EVERY day...mine go so far as to eat 3 times/day!!
PL is right...they suck you dry :) But once you have 'em, you wouldn't trade 'em for anything!
Susan - you mean you have to feed them everyday? Well I don't think so.... LOL. They sound as demanding as my cat.
Freddie,
They are kind of like cats. They leave, you think they're gone for goo, and then they come back.
Where do you get a kid that only eats 3 times a day? I swear its at least 5 when he is home.
good, not goo. Of course they sometimes leave goo around.
Kenzz - what audacity... 3 times a day? How do you cope with it?
How are you today?
Mom, can I have a snack? Mom, can I have a snack? Mom, can I have a snack?
Hey Kay, how are you today?
Freddie:
I'm great, considering having to spend another snow day home with my teenage daughter...man, not only do they eat, but how much can a girl TALK? I actually hid in the bathroom for an hour with my Kindle for a break!
Hi Freddie, I'm good. :) How are you doing?
Penny - yeah, my cat leaves "goo" around too.....or is that poo??
Hello Roseland!
Appears you ladies had quite the time this afternoon :)
Liza! Missed you again! I'm not much for yoga but I have tried Zumba and it's a lot of fun!
Angelica and Smitty- I had to laugh reading your comments about kegels and pelvic exercises. As someone who used to work in women's services..I have taught many women about the importance of doing them. And while I respect the medical rationale behind it...I completely agree there are many and much more exciting ways to strengthen that part of our bodies..LOL!
Elaine and Penny- I think you both are probably pretty terrific mothers :)
Kami- The ethics question really makes you think...
Hi to Everyone :)
Kami:
Did you end up with a good amount of responses to Alexis' Ethics question?
Tracy- I forgot to say..I'm sorry you're sick. Feel better soon :)
Kenzz- How bad are you snowed in?
Is anyone else having trouble posting??? I submitted a post that isn't showing and I can't see the most recent entries...
Freddie - maybe that is why Smitty posted "test"? I haven't noticed anything other than I thought everyone had gone off to watch American Idol.
Freddie- I haven't had any trouble so far :)
Hi Kay - I tried to answer before, but either I screwed up or blogger decided it didn't like my answer. So here goes again.
I'm good today, and getting better as we get closer to the weekend. I survived the dentist this morning (and I'm a real chicken when it comes to dentists - so I'm lucky my dentists caters to cowards) and I managed to get out to lunch today rather than grabbing a quick bite and eating at my desk. So it was a banner day.
Hey Rhonda - how are you today?
Kenzz,
Hiding in the bathroom to get away from a chatty daughter? You know that goes full circle. I hide in the bathroom to get away from my chatty mother when she visits.
Freddie....it sounds like your day turned out pretty well, considering you started with the dentist. :)
RHONDA..Hello dear girl..L O V E your picture...arent you the flirt (mask to cover your loveley face)... lol How was work today?
TRACY...I hope you feel better soon.
KENZZ...I can totally relate to hiding out with the Kindle..I do it all the time. That Kindle is one of the best things I have ever had..So sorry about the weather there! So much for global warming.
Hi SUE BEE, PL,KAY and FREDDIE..Talking about feeding the "family" I feel like I spend alot of time at the grocery store buying food for humans and pets.
Kenzz - I laugh at the kids today. With cell phones, kids seem to always be talking on them or texting. Can't they just have a quiet moment or be comfortable just being by themselves for a few minutes?
Hi Freddie- I hate going to the dentist too. I hope it wasn't that bad. I'm really good--all is well, thanks :)
Hi Super- Work was good. Not terribly busy until this afternoon. How was your day?
Rhonda - let's just say that I got off easy, since I hadn't been to a dentist for a REALLY long time. My dentist didn't even lecture me. She's really calm, cool - so I like her.
Hi everyone, *waves*,
Love the discussion on children! : )
Parenthood........when you are young and beginning your family, some may think the responsibility and worry will be mostly until the children are at least around 22, 23, 24. and out on their own.......the big secret.....it's for life. Thank goodness we love them so much!
Agree with several of you that parenting today, with all the instant communication available, both audio and visual, has created a whole new ballgame filled with unique and sometimes dangerous challenges to navigate.
Kami, on the ethics question, the second situation is worse. Premeditated unkindness is just downright ugly.
Taxes....hate doing them, but I do them myself. Usually takes between an hour or two. Congratulations SueBee for doing them so soon. It is a good feeling when you have them complete and ready to send in. Hooray for money back!
Freddie, glad your day went well. Count me in as one who dislikes making those visits even though I am fortunate to have a wonderful dentist.
LOL, I am guilty for having used the "bathroom retreat" as valuable thinking time, gather my patience time, make an escape time and just give myself a time out time when I was raising a teenager.
Take care y'all. Will peek in early tomorrow morning
Hugs
Freddie- That's good. At least you have cool one..mine likes to lecture..and I go every 6 months!
Hi Super - yeah... between food and meds for Tom, I think I spend more on him that I do on food for myself.
Hi Olivia!
How are you?
Hi Olivia - love your posts. Have a good evening.
Thanks Olivia. It's a huge relief!
Rhonda: In regards to the snow amounts, let's just say I've installed a roll-out ladder on the second story windows just to leave the house...lol
PL: Sounds like we share the same mother! My daughter doesn't get it from any stranger!
Super: I love my Kindle, too! Does it make me a bad mother to use it to hide from my family sometimes? :)
Freddie: Hoping it was a relief to have completed the dental appointment! Today I wished she would go text someone, or get on FB, or something!! haha It was a LONG day...cabin fever for me.
Hi Susan-
Did the closet get finished?
HI Olivia! *waves*
Kenzz- LOL..I heard some places got like 19" of snow! That's crazy!
I want to buy a Kindle..I think it would be great when I travel.
Thanks Kenzz. Next week I have the pleasure of going back for a cleaning and my dental hygenist really, really loves her job. I usually come out with my mouth aching. Oh well, better than gumming my food in future years.....
I hope you manage to dig out tomorrow and escape the cabin.
Rhonda
Not yet. It's a pretty big job with the drywall and all. Mr. Bee gets to it when he isn't working.
:o)
Susan
That's cool. And congrats on the taxes..maybe you've inspired me to tackle mine :)
Rhonda:
I wasn't sure if I'd want a Kindle (cause I enjoy reading an actual book), but now that I've had one for a few weeks, I love it! The ability to get a new book immediately is invaluable!
I'm traveling to San Diego in March, and Ft. Meyers in April, so I think it will be worth it just for the long plane rides. Also, the Kindle is supposedly the only e-reader to read well in direct sunshine. I tried it outside on a bright sunny day, and it was perfect!
Well, enough of my product testimonial! i think at a later date I'll caucus the ladies of Roseland about their experiences in San Diego..I have no idea the vibe there....is it dressy, bohemian, casual?
getting ready to head to bed soon...hope you all have a great Friday & weekend!
DK- #25 is one of my all time favorites! You're so nice to do this for Rose :)
And your avi is the funniest thing ever!
Good night Kenzz.
Kenzz- I love my books too..but to have them all in one place when you travel would be awesome!
Hey we wanted to go to the beach so I guess that will be our excuse..product testing..LOL!
Hope you have a great night and keep that ladder close by :)
RHONDA..It was very good today. I have been home a few home a few hours..hope to have a quiet night.
KENZZ..Yes it is OK to hide out sometime..Especially since you r snowed in..I can identify with the cabin fever..sometimes I think, we are better parents if we can get some quiet reflective and restful moments AWAY from them! lol
OLIVIA.. Hello to you... I have read Kamis comments..I know we arent troll status, but I think she has given us FOOD for THOUGHT..we should examine our motives when we start to make comments that are making fun of others and/or we know our true heart may harbor feelings of malice maybe because someone else is getting some "well deserved" recognition. Each person that contributes to this blog(not trolls)is special and brings a unique "flavor" to it..it is NOT cool to attempt to cheapen or insinuate that someone should MOVE on to a different venue. If ROSE is not happy with someone, I am sure she would let them know.
Sweet dreams Freddie, Rhonda, & Susan (& Mr. BEE)..I think everyone else has gone to sleep :)
Looking forward to a fresh post from Queen Rose tomorrow... I'll keep my fingers crossed (and in honor of Smitty and Liza's earlier posts, I'll keep my legs crossed, too, in order to strengthen my Kegels...lol)
Goodnite Super... what a thoughtful post to end the evening...you rock!
Super- That's really sweet :)
Super,
That was just WOW. I don't know why I'm surprised. I can't say I didn't know you had it in you.
Thank you everyone for helping Alexis with this Ethics paper, she will be so happy when I send her all the responses.
I'm also glad that it has given everyone food for thought like Super said...especially me...I realized I needed to face the mean things I've said and done all in the guise of just having fun. I never meant to hurt anyone, but this question has made me realize that I probably have, and for that I really am sorry. I think that what makes this blog special is that we are all so very different. What a dull and unappealing world it would be if we were all the same.
So this has been a rough day for me coming to terms with the fact that sometimes I'm a mean, rotten, and as my grandmother used to say...little shit. I can't promise I will never do it again, I can just say I will try.
Thanks again for all the help yall it will help Alexis a whole bunch.
Susan...I meant to say earlier that I'm really glad you finished your taxes and will be able to do some shopping soon...I hope I will be able to say the same thing when mine are done!
Tracy feel better soon!
Super
I understand about trolls and whatnot but who on the blog isn't nice to each other?
Am I missing something? Who am I supposed to ask to leave?
:-/
Rose
I didn't get it either? I had to have missed something.
Hi Kami and Rose :)
Hi Rhonda!
Interesting conversations tonight.
Hi Rose and Rhonda
Hmmm. Well SueBee... lets have a glass of wine and contemplate our dilemma. It might take a while :)
You know what, the great thing about Roseland is that we are ALL individuals. With our own thoughts and ideas. Everyone reads and interprets things with their own thoughts and biases. What one person may see in a posting is not always what another sees and it may be different still from what the original poster ment. We can't always presume to know what someone means.
Rose
sounds like a plan to me
Kami
I hope you get your taxes done soon too! Its such a relief
Hi girls!
Here's something to make you all smile... Tom :)
http://www.tom-sturridge.com/2011/01/27/two-clips-from-waiting-for-forever/
Can I just say that I love tom's voice... but its EVER so much sexier with his natural British accent...
Kami- How are you?
Hi Penny :)
Can't get it to play. Is he doing an American accent?
Can I have a beer while we are contemplating?
It goes better with my moob :)
Is it air dirty laundry night?
Rhonda,
Guess what happened today? It snowed. Nasty mess in the parking lot made it really hard to push the shopping cart or buggy as some of you call it.
Cate
What's a moob? LOL
Here's a beer, hon.
Susan
Rose- I will join you..I'm having a glass of red right now.
Cheers!
Yes SueBee... its an American accent. It seems strange coming out of his purty mouth.... lol
Forgive me...
I don't have wine, drank what was left of my bottle last Sunday when I cooked with it, but given the medication issue.. wine may not be a good choice..
So maybe I can shorten this little tete-a-tete.. hmm??
Got something you want to say directly to someone RN? Or are you going to try to be subtle and indirectly leave a comment to someone because you're displeased with something that you perceived to have been said or done? I've got no problems with honesty, so if you have questions or concerns, then ask away.
And I'm *so* looking forward to watching Waiting For Forever :) Can't wait to hear him doing that Americano accent.
Penny
Snowed here too, again, damn it. LOL
Thanks, Rose!! :) Who knew Tom could juggle?!
Good Rhonda thanks for asking
I'm still a sucker for a British accent.
Hi! Roselanders!
Been a long couple of days at work then come home hoping for a hot shower and find a connection to the hot water heater leaking. ugh!
Super you answered Kami's ethic dilema with a very good point, and I agree with you.
DK thanks for the Beatles songs. ROCK ON woman! Thanks for the lyrics also. I learned words for the USSR song I didn't know were there. smile
My work gave me a plaque with a picture of events from 1986 for my 25 year service award this week. It included the movie Top Gun, Oprah going nationwide, MLK day, Jack nickaluas and the staue of Liberty 100 year anniversary. All I could think is where is Robert Pattinson. Guess I'll have to paste his picture on it. LOL
Linda
Hi Cate!
Penny- Lol..it's a 'buggy'!!
I'm shocked that it snowed..it so rarely does in your little corner of the world! LOL :)
Hi Linda and Kay!
Susan- I love the accent too :)
Tracy- do you feel any better?
Rose - you are definitely smitten!!!
I couldn't get it to play either, but I would agree that Tom's real accent would be sexier.
Thanks Suse!
How soon we forget about the man boobs?!
Is it the fact that men have tight hind ends that make it impossible for them to not have streaks?
Dirty laundry ?
Reply in any accent.
Hi everyone!
Cate
The only accent I have is plain midwestern American!
kind of boring.
Man boobs! That'll put you off your food.
Rose
Do you know when 'Waiting for Forever' will be released?
Hi! Rhonda
Hope your snow all melted like ours did. I'm about done having to drive in this mess. Beautiful but stressful.
LOL Cate! I had to read that twice to believe what I was actually reading! :)
Waiting For Forever gets released on February 4th! :) I've already got a date going with me to see it!!
Hi Kay!!!
Linda
Yep, it's mostly all gone. I think were supposed to warm up for awhile now :)
Kay,
Well if were contemplating shit lets really talk shit!
lol
Tracy
Are you cheating on me? I wanna go!!!
Hey Susan :) Are you sure that you have a midwestern accent.....people I know from Ohio lean towards southern.....
Sounds like fun Tracy!
Congratulations on 25 years, Linda!! woo hoo!!! :)
Kay
Really? I wish I had a southern accent. I like those too! Just plain flat sounding is what I am.
Cate
LOL..to be honest..I'm not sure exactly what were talking about!
Besides Tom and wine of course :)
Thanks Kay, it's half my life. Really makes you start thinking about things.
Hope to go see Tom's new movie when it comes out also.
By the way, I would trade my southern accent. I think it makes me sound like a hick.
Linda
Suse!! It's none of my current lovers, so don't worry.. just a potential fling.. pshh.. nothing to worry about :) We're doing dinner and a movie..
And I don't have a southern accent, but technically, I guess I'm not *from* the south, so makes sense.. Not sure what you'd qualify mine as to be honest..
but there is a very distinct difference between the pronunciation of pen and pin.. just sayin ;)
Man oh man... I have got some really interesting emails lately.
Good Blog stuff.
You would think the Hyenas would just give up.
;)
Susan
You might not like a Southern accent if you heard mine :)
I'm sure your own accent is lovely just the same :)
Rose,
Anything you can share?
I don't know, Linda. I think a good southern drawl is sexy.
Rose, you think their heads would have exploded by now.....looking forward to your next blog post!! :)
Believe it or not... a few from people who think that IOW was fake. that Rob and Kristen NEVER were there. Good shit.
Rose
Do you feel guilty if you don't post everyday? You shouldn't :)
Tracy- Do you live in the South?
Rose,
I'm waiting for them to say that the reason Snow White interest in Kristen is coming out now is to take away from the attention Rob is getting for WFE and that other movie cosmop whatever.
No, I dont feel guilty...
I just usually have a lot of thoughts. But sometimes the bullshit gets so deep... It's hard to get through.
Tracy
My mom is from Indiana and she says "ink pin" so we know she means "pen."
Rose,
Is this like the whole "moon landing" conspiracy?
Oh exactly Penny! There is always a war between Rob and Kristen in their minds...
I dont get it.
Sure Rob and Kris were in IOW--BUT it was their clones made my summit to further their cause. Everyone knows that.
Susan I don't think any sound from my accent can be construed as sexy. Have always wanted to say things crisply. I'll trade ya. lol
Rose your blogs are always spot on. I've been reading your early blogs. Made it to 2010 finally. It's been an interesting journey.
