1. Great news, Texannie - I didn't know they had blood tests for ovarian cancer. Gotta get signed up for one based on family history;

2. Herm, my goodness I read your post as saying you want to hear more about Marm's Munch Man. First I was appalled, then thought "good for Marm," then wondered how I'd missed a really good story from a relative no less, and then I reread your post. LOLOL. MUNICH MAN. Hopefully Munich and Munch turn out to be the same thing;

3. Thanks for listening to me vent over my little ones - one seems to be healing a bit on his own, the other is suffering and the wild fowl lady hasn't come to pick him up yet. MM is doing a great job helping me get him fed - he's getting picked on by all the other ducks, and is hard to feed because he's so skittish with his injury. Fingers crossed we can keep him healthy until the rahabilitationist can get here;

4. My life doesn't seem so bad today as it did yesterday. It helps to force perspective on onesself: my parents are healthy and supportive; my brother should be home in mid-August (lord willing and the creek don't rise); I didn't have to go to Afghanistan myself; I'm self-supporting and healthy; I have a tremendous man who loves me; I get all kinds of duck love even when I'm not shoveling the corn; I have a really cute kitty; I have a good life, if I can just stop and remind myself of that at times. Thanks for letting me rant in here yesterday, and for understanding.

1) I love being a gramma soooooo much it's the funnest thing in the world.

2) My grandson is incredibly well behaved - he's 2 1/2 and apparently didn't hear about the terrible two's.

3) My son may be moving back from Montana (he's missing his son too much)

4) My personal life is chaos right now - looking forward to a time when it gets mellow again

5) I love going through this thread and picking out a particular name and then reading all their facts - makes me feel like I KNOW them more...:)

1. I belong to a Sou-Sou - which is a West Indian thing - it is a savings club. You put in a certain amount of money each week and (if there are 25 people in it) at the end of 25 weeks, you get the total amount. So - this last week was my week to collect. It is almost all gone.

2. I bought a new cell phone with a camera

3. I ordered a new computer

4. Got new glasses with clip on sunglass lenses

5. Bought my best friend a beautiful house gift for her new house she bought

6. Bought tickets on Jet Blue for Florida for November. Hooray

1. This post is a blatant plea for sympathy.

2. I'm really depressed and feeling quite sorry for myself.

3. My husband got back from 6 months in Afghanistan in January.

4. Now he leaves in a few weeks/months for a YEAR in Iraq.

5. I just can't even describe how much this sucks.

6. My kids are going to be so upset.

7. My husband, while a wonderful man, doesn't get why I'm depressed. He feels we should concentrate on having fun now. Good point, now if I can just get myself to actually believe it.

8. It seems like he just got home.

9. <deep breath> I feel a little better now, thanks for the chance to whine.

1. Sending hugs Not1worry's way. I can't begin to imagine how that must feel. Just the anticipation of it. {{{Not1worry}}}

2. I have also been wondering if Hermi ever had her date...thanks for brining it up Square.

3. Square I for one will miss you during the day. You've made me smile so darn many times while at work (its not a place I usually smile) so hurry back!!

4. Schoolmarm...isn't love and/or like grand?? It just gives you warm fuzzies all over. I can relate totally to the distance...its tough.

5. I HAVE TODAY OFF!!!!

6. My neices show hogs...yes hogs at the local fair. So I'm spending the day with them.

7. My oldest son is in his third year of medical school and just rec'd notice that he is in the top 10% of third year medical students in the nation. WAHOOOOOOO So residency doors will be popping open for him all over the place.

8. Can you tell I'm a tad bit proud?? This is the boy that was a premi and we were told when he was just a babe that he would always be challenged.

9. My daughter has one more week of work and then she is back to school.

10. Can you tell that I'm ready?? I love her dearly and am just as proud as her...but man she cuts into my Big Brother time!!

Sheesh, GAL....ya gotta remember that he's German, and well, they are a bit reserved. There WAS however a public display of affection in the train station as we took our separate trains home.

Oh, if only I had another week....SIGH

1. I am a terrible photographer - most of my baby duckling pictures were overexposed or unfocused. I still have some left on another roll, and am hoping for better results;

2. Fortunately, MM is a spectacular wildlife photographer, and a couple of his survived on the roll we just developed;

3. I don't know how to post pictures here, but I'm going to try to post a picture of Lucy and some of her little ones that MM photographed;

4. Please don't laugh at me while I try something new here; it was a miracle I got them saved into my documents in the first place;

5. Here goes: 1,Lucy and her ducklings as photographed by MM

Lucy and her ducklings as photographed by MM

Edited to add: the file would only save in a BMP, even tho it was sent to me as a jpg and I tried to save it that way. Any suggestions? A bmp won't upload on the images function.

Marm, desperate times call for desperate measures. Arrange to see him tonight and then fall down the stairs in front of him exposing your thong. It should break the German reserve, and he will take you back to your hotel room to baby you and nurse your bruises, and then you can show him your portable trapeze. Let me know how it goes.

GAL, when you are saving the picture to your computer, look at the bottom of the Save box, and there will be a drop-down box for type. Click on the down arrow and select .jpeg/.jpg. I have no idea why this is so, but sometimes, okay almost all the time, I have to add .jpg onto the end of the name I give the picture to get it to come out right.

If that still doesn't work, you can send me the pic at juju2bigdog@yahoo.com, and I will fix it up and post it for you.

Thanks, Juju - sent to you because my drop box has no jpg/jpeg option. By the way, Jujubigduck is on the mend and causing nothing trouble around the lake. I expect no less of him (LOL).
