All is good. I took my nephew and the girl next door to town last night to buy brownie mix. Spent the rest of the evening watching Signs and cooking. She ended up falling asleep on the couch.
Been up twice since 1:00AM for baby feeding. Kinda tired and silly.

NVG, yeah we're going to stay friends and such. This isn't where the 20's statement came from, that was just kind of my view on some guys in their 20's. Is she looking for someone just to grapple with? I don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think I'm too good for her, I just think that she's not ready to be with someone again. She just got out of a 4 year relationship about a month ago, so it's quite understandable. As for me looking for an appropriate mate, yeah, I'm still keepin' my eye out for a good girl.

Forgot about the previous SO.

Seems she may be a bit distant in the chest area anyhow. Four year long distant relationship. She's gotta be a pretty busy lady to put up with that.

Glad to hear you've crawled out of the cave (and away from the WOW). Seems alotta folk get stuck in the online culture and have a tough time escaping. Might I be speaking about myself. Kinda glad I have no online access at home. Already addicted enough to FFF.NET.

MSG- Thought of the Dennis the Menace movie when everyone was talkin' about reading. From a teachers point of view, what do you think is the biggest obstacle to kids reading? Mine was a step dad who loved me well enough, but could read very little. Do you see alot of parents making things worse (directly/indirectly) for their childrens education? If so, than what could they do better? Just tryin' to give PsychoBilly (nephew) a headstart.

Helloooo. Went to my nan's today, to move 2 tonnes of logs, she was getting delivered for her new log fire, not so bad as shifting 2 tonnes of anything at my house, as she has a bungalow and a flat garden. thank god.

lol. thanks trogman, ya just made me choke on my fudge!

PR: phewf! you had me all worried their about that spider thing!

I read in the bathroom, but only in the bath. I do all my revising for exams in the bath, which goes great untill I discover a loose sheet in a book,or accidentally drop said book. My longest bath record is about 3 hours.
Can spend forever in the shower, taking showers to save water has never worked for me! I've pleaded time and time again for us to get a lock on the bathroom door (Why the hell can't people learn to knock!?!)but the answer is always: No! We have enough trouble getting you out of their now!

like many of you on here, I read all the the time. only times when i'm not reading something is when I'm asleep. I always have to find something to read. When I'm on holiday, just lying on abeach, I can get through 2 books per day.
you guys and your baths stories, you crack me up!!
My hearts desire is simply to be happy and to be loved.

Liking your sig, NV. BTW, Whats a cracker jack?

Awww, Ged, better luck next time, at least you had fun, right?

Thanks RugBug! I'd love to hear anything that will help "navigate the tricky waters of youth." Kids today need all the help they can get.

We had heard about the horse factor as well; she did a horsemanship camp a few weeks ago (learning how to feed, brush, otherwise care for them), and has done some riding, will do more this fall. I think she feels the same way you do about them - just horse-crazy.

Wow, she should really meet you and MsG.

You all are so helpful!

Cracker Jacks are a snack food made popular at the beginning of the twentieth century after the advent of commercial popcorn. It is a caramel covered mixture of popcorn and peanuts. Introduced at the world fair in the 1890's.
The highly sought after toy ring is the pinnicle of food prizes. The prizes today are uaually little puzzles and the occasional tattoo.

Really flattered that my pondering has held for twenty four hours. So in general women read in the bath for the most part, men prefer showers so they read on the toilet, bubblebaths with SO's can be dangerous and hilarious at the same time, and the search goes on for answers to the many mysteries of the sexes.

Dang phone won't stop ringing. Looks like I gotta work. Hooray work!

I just remembered that British movie theaters give you an option of sweet or salty popcorn.

Let me tell you, the sweet is kinda icky. But then, I don't eat a lot of sugar.

Cracker Jacks are NOT icky!

Why do I sound like a 5 year old?

*waves her hand* Token female who reads on the toilet, not in the bath. I like to just close my eyes and have a snooze in the bath, as long as I have something to prop my head up so I don't accidentally drown. Anywho, looks like I'm the exception that proves the rule.

Thanks Penguin. Love to see little bits of advertising/labels from the past. Not too many left for folks to take a gander at these days.
The prize was added in 1912? Thought I had enough useless knowledge on Cracker Jacks pinned to my brain. Now the page is complete. Looks like I gotta purge something.
Good-bye seventh grade!
