Winter Park you say, yep, some great moments, great mammary's.

I am a Manning fan, but not a donkey fan.

last night we unfolded the futon in the playroom, lit a fire, and the whole family snuggled up together to watch Bolt. It was really fun and a great time, but it really made us all miss Bear. He was just such an awesome dog and he would have done anything for us. It makes me feel really guilty liking Clara as much as i do, because we never would have gotten her if we didnt lose Bear.

One of my clients passed away this morning. Please keep her family in your thoughts. She was a 10 year old Golden Retriever

my house is full of a bunch of lazy asses who have no idea what the definition of "help" is. this family is going to fall apart when i start school next week!

Spent 4 hours this afternoon in the Animal ER Clinic with oldest son's pit bull. She's been having stomach flu like symptoms (I'll skip the gory details) since yesterday. Blood work, IV's, a couple medications to give her for the next 5 days and a few hundred dollars later she's home snoring away.

@anthem, I'm so sorry, my thoughts are with them...

@des..make a list of things you want your family to do at home which will help you out once you start school...start off with small things..it's going to be a big change for all of you...to keep on top of your studies, you are going to have to turn your head on some of the little things that won't get done.. It will fall together..it will also take time. everyones routine will be screwed up for a little while, but you can do this...I know you can...

@leather...did they give a diagnosis or are they just treating the symptoms right now... Hate it when animals get sick and you have to go to the animal ER..they charge an arm and a leg, and they know they can get away with it.

@everyone else....hi!

Recon - Ravens are coming to Denver... hope they bring their oxygen tanks ^_^

Her blood work came out fine so they're treating her for the symptoms and son has to follow up with his vet if she's no better by Tuesday. Yes, they certainly do charge high at the ER clinics, it's $85 at this one just to walk in the door before they do any tests or any kind of treatment.

Its coincidence, but wow! So many good people having issues concerning pets as of late, sad

Oh deb, you don't know the power of Ray Lewis and Suggs. As long as they and the rest of B'more's D can stop the pass and run game then B'more has this game in the bag. I mean hell look at what they did to Indy 24-9. Then again it WAS a wildcard team. I have confidence in my Ravens. The fact that Lewis is retiring and is on the field gives them more reason to push forward and make a trip to the super bowl.

i think that i am seriously killing myself with all this cleaning! last night i pulled something in my back and my fingers are still all skinned...and i still have to vacuum the hallway, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and playroom and mop the bathroom, kitchen, and play room floors! blah! Hey, after that is all done, i am taking a break from cleaning for awhile!

I finally get up the strength to go sell some of my Mom's, Aunt's and Grandmothers jewelry and the 3 reputable places I know are all closed today...sigh..oh well, back to safe deposit box they go.

You have no idea how traumatic this whole process is for me.

Viv, I'm proud of you - that's a very big step.

So I'm sitting here at my friend's house where I watch her kids every day after school, and there's some apple-cinnamon scented something or other that is giving me a major headache! And I can't find the source! Ugh. Another 1.5 hours to go.

i'm sorry viv. i know that must really be salt in the wound. That sucks.

Ugh, Viv, that sucks.

Seems like an odd day for so many places to be closed. Did I miss something?
