Congratulations, SoulBiter. Spoil 'em rotten, then send 'em home!

Congratulations SB! You will absolutely love being a gp. I have one grandson in the room next door at the moment (Patrick). Currently the bed is uncomfortable, before he was too hot. I suppose he will eventually go to sleep!

But wait, I'm sure I just heard a yawn.

So when I finally decide I'm making an offer on a place, I find myself phoning the estate agent... and asking little questions I've already been told the answer to by the owner because I'm still too nervous about making that step of actually offering.

That sounds about right, Murrin. You're buying the place, right? It's a big investment.

Post by **Avatar** » Fri Aug 03, 2012 5:27 am

Yep. I can never make up my mind whether I want to buy my own place or not. Such a huge commitment...

As well as a nation of pensioners

we are also a nation of home-owners. Always the ambition of newly weds to buy a house. But maybe this is changing. Both my children rent. We have only had two houses, started with a small terrace then moved to the "bay window belt", swopped a back yard for a big garden.

I am really really happy for my son. His appeal for financial aid came through and he is going to university in 13 days!!!

Yeaahhhh!

This is exciting... you really weren't expecting it to work out for this fall, right?

On the road again, I can't wait to get on the road again....

Congrats SB!!

Congrats for your son Deer.

Jenn - what is up, hope all is swell.

Murrin - other than marrying Julie, buying this house is my best decision ever. so good luck with it.

last week Sonny (our dog) stopped eating for two days and was just laying around the house. took him to the vets where he stayed for some 4/5 days.

turns out the non-eating was likely due to Rachel Ray's dogfood. the receptionist at the vets say they see dogs for digestion problems related to the brand more than they like. so a fair warning folks.

but his listlesness was also due to back pain. like me has has some vertebrae that are calcifying. so we have meds for that. strangely enough he has Tramadol for the pain - just like me.

he is also on Ketaconazole (antifungal) for his skin condition. Animax as a topical for his skin. Previcox (anti-inflammatory) for his arthritis.

and the doctor wants him to get a bath for his skin condition every week. so she cut his spa treatment price in half (to $20) for that.

we spent five hundred for the hospital stay and all his treatments. another hundred for the meds. and went and bought a brand new doggie bed for $80 so he doesn't have to jump on the bed or couch when he is feeling under the weather. he loves the bed and has spent about every minute on it since we brought it home. (i also bought him 5 dollars of mixed treats that he absolutely loves)

the bad news? he has a mass in his belly. another 300 hundred for the scan for that. and a trip to Sugarland. (30 minutes each way) and we are looking into accupuncture as well.

but we love our baby and he is absolutely the greatest dog ever. he loves us so much that we have to do whatever we can to take care of him.

so if you are of a mind to - please include him in your prayers. no dog has ever been loved so much and returned that love so much.

thanks for listening.

Sweet, Null.

And thanks, everyone!! He is really happy. Now the work begins.

Had a family over for dinner last night, they are new to Jos and one of their girls and my daughter really hit it off. Actually we all really enjoyed getting to know one another.

Working on Saturday. Well, after I get off KW and FB, anyway.

Big hugs for Sarge, Julie, and Sonny:

Should be a quiet day here. Well, except for the tearing of hair and rending of garments -- I'm planning to work on a trailer for the new book, using a spiffy software package called Power Director 10. If I end up in a screaming fit, I'll make a free 30-second trailer at animoto.com and call it done.

Congrats SB and Deer's son!

Well, I been bragging for the last couple of weeks of how I haven't had any morning sickness at all, seems the Fates decided to shut me up. Instead of morning sickness...I have been hit with ALL DAY sickness...blah!!

Book review I should have written a few days ago: Done.
Game I was supposed to be designing but didn't touch for a week or so: Slightly closer to done than it was before, maybe enough to set it going I'm not sure?

Progress!
