Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

*hug* know how it feels my moms little baby for 2 years (he went everywhere with them and replaced the kids moving away and such). well dad told me he didnt come home last night so thought i'd take my walk a bit earlier, well i'm the one that had to find the poor guy a few yards away from ours. i didnt have it in me to pick him up and carry him home (the birds got there before me :( ) so i walked in and tried to tell dad where he was and such but i couldnt stop crying to really get words out. I dont think i'd taken it as badly if i wasnt the one the find him like that :(. *sigh* mom been a bit of mess and think dad took it harder, his days off harley went everywhere with him.

So i'm gonna get a shadow box and break his water/food bowl and make a frame for apicture and his collar for my mom to put on the wall.Not a big dog person but he was a really great dog.

That is a shame :( I know first hand how quickly you can get attached to those little guys, and how much it sucks to lose them.

The girls seem ok with it they knew he was very small and very weak but Erik took it really hard. He was angry that the others survived. I told him we did what we could and we have to focus on what we have and not what we don't. We'll see if he comes around.

Aww Faeini! Thats the worse! I live your shadowbox gift though, it's really a great gift!

Laschae isn't amazing how resilient kids are compared to big people sometimes?

He's angry the others survived? Yikes.

Yeah I pretty much told him to shut up when he said that because yeah duh it's stupid. I told him to not close himself off because they could be the 4 greatest, most loving animals we will ever know and since he wasn't here and didn't have to bury Butters he could kiss my fat ass. He was being a baby and I think he knew it.

Anger and guilt - part of the greiving process. I'm sure in time he will understand and won't hold it against the living kittens.

On a happier note... I ran across a job listing for a veterinary receptionist. I emailed my resume. *crossing fingers* I need to get a real job. This art for commissions just won't help cover mortgage. LOL

David's a little behind in talking so his doc recommended early intervention. We're not worried, Catherine was the same way. She didn't really start talking until she was almost 3 and then it was like BAM 'Hello mother, how are you? May I have a cookie?' Very bizarre. Anyway, they recommended putting him in day care a couple times a week to interact with more kids. I wouldn't have to if there were kids his age to play with or any mothers my age I can stand who even have small children. I took him in today.

I totally cried in the Jeep. I miss him.

aw Roz! I cried the first day Joe went to daycare/nursery school, mostly because he looked at me said bye and took off. =(


last week i had a interview for the county juvenile drug court internship. It went well but there were 3 of us trying for 2 positions. I was the least "skilled" so i didnt get it. Per usual. Well today I got a call from the regular juvenile probate courts offering me a position starting this may! im so pumped i could scream! I wanna call everyone and jump around but im in the cafeteria at school. YAY!

aww i'm sure i'll be that way with both my kids >.<. Clover didnt start talking till around 2 and half to 3, i was worried at first but we were in alaska and we were mostly just around us =/. alex is already started to say words, down here were around alot more people ^_^.

Poor Roz! That first little bit of letting them go sucks and he's so little!

Each one of my kids has started talking a little later than the one before so I figured they talk when they need or want something and if they aren't talking they have what they need. James doesn't say a ton of words he has his own little language and he says a lot of nonsense mixed in with real words. Which is fine by me he's already to the point where we go to the store and he thinks everything is chocolate or cookies and he wants it. I think he knew I was sad yesterday because he looked at me and said I lub you! I lub you! and gave me a few hugs, and he is not overly affectionate.

David will be fine and maybe he will make some friends with parents that aren't dumb asses :D

Yeah what broke my heart was him running away as soon as I let his hand go. He came back with a toy to snuggle and he was off again. I could totally feel a panic attack welling up in my chest as I left. I went and saw Mike right after and he took one look at me and said, 'Miss him, huh?'

I was so thrilled to see him when I picked him up. He had actually taken a nap (OMGZ) but woke up first and was my usual cranky little booger bear. By the time I got down to the room, he was laying down and a little better, but the second he saw me he stood up and started doing his 'woe is me' cry and walked to me lol. I picked him up and he gave me that clingy 'OMG I LOVE YOU' hug and would not let go. So that made me feel better lol. We'll give it another go again on Friday, I think. They said he was fine, ate his lunch and took his nap. This is the same center that Catherine went to 7 years ago when she was 3. The lady at the desk remembered us and was sweet enough to ask me to bring Catherine in so she could see how big she's gotten. I love that place.

David and I held hands and walked out (he let me put him down by that time) and he was all better. God I hate it that they're growing up =/

My sister started talking at just over a year and never shut up since. The one after her took a while longer, probably cos she couldn't get a word in edgeways.

aww Roz. LOL I wish my little boy was still little. :( He's 10 now, and my daughter is 15. I miss the days when they missed me and gave me big hugs and kisses. Now its like I have cooties. Except when my son gets sick. Then luckily, he still wants his mom and cuddles. It'll be gone soon though. *cry*
Dia 16 years ago
my son started right before one talking and has also ceased to to stop. After one stressful day he made me cry because he wouldnt stop talking! Lets trade for a few days. I'll take a quiet kid for sure!
ROzbeans 16 years ago
Funny thing is, David is not quiet lol. He squawks at me which, believe me, is just as frustrating lol.

This is a stereoscopic shot of the moon. So if you cross your eyes like you would a Magic Eye picture, you should be able to see our natural satellite in 3-D. Oooooor get frustrated and Hulk-smash your monitor.[INDENT]Stare into the screen and allow your eyes to defocus. You will get double vision as each eye sees the L & R images separately. Move your head towards and away from the screen until the two middle images overlap. The single overlapping image should be in 3D[/INDENT]It took me a little time, but I finally saw it. And I'm not just saying that to impress you with my eye-crossing skills, but one time a friend did slap me on the back while I was making a funny face. You know what happened? I kneed him in the crotch until he cried blood. You don't touch a man while he's making faces!

I'm doing this chat thing (but its not a chat) where you have a Q&A with Jim Butcher...he is not so forthcoming with the spoilery answers! Dunno how long it's going on but if anyone wants to come by it's over here at : http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=22804#comment-147493

my eyes are f'd and I cant see those things. <-- in the left out club of vision games

If you had a friend who was as rich as Oprah would you let them buy you a 3.1 million dollar home?

I can see it, but it's inverted, like the moon is a bowl instead of a sphere :(

Hell MFin YES. You'd probably be doing them a favor by dropping them into a lower tax bracket and letting them claim it as a gift on their taxes :P
