Hoping the hump on everyone's Hump Day isn't so high, so you can get over it easily!

Happy Wednesday! Hope your day goes well!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Does she really? Has she always done that, or just since having her health issues?

Harlowe will often cough after it, too. Then drink a ton of water and get sick.

{{{hugs}}} & prayers for you guys, too <3

Maggie has always done it, she likes to burrow in the blankets. It never stopped her from going back to sleep though. But the past few months have been rough. And she drinks a lot too, then she wants to go out. It's a vicious cycle during the night.
Thank you ♥

[HomemakinGirl]

Glad to hear your daughter is feeling better - hope she feels good when she gets up today! xx]
Hope you have a nice day too!

Thanks Holiday. She's still sleeping, I don't want to wake her up. Hopefully she'll be even better after a good night of sleep.
Thank you!

Nitro drinks a lot too. More than he used to for sure...is it like a thing when dogs get older they drink more?

That's a good question, I'll have to bring it up when Maggie goes back to the veterinarian.

I hear you there.
Too bad we didn't live closer, we could take shifts!
I'm sure the girls would have fun together, and tire each other out <3

I'm not sure if it's an age thing or not.
Harlowe is just 7.5 years old.
I do know that with age can come new issues.It can also be a sign of things like a UTI, kidney disease, liver disease, cushing's disease, or diabetes.

Yeah I noticed last year he's always drinking. It's like he's in a desert! I don't want to make him drink too much but I also don't want him to be thirsty...although the Vet did say the situation he had his brain may tell him he's thirsty even if he's not.

Do you let her drink as much as she wants or do you try to discourage her at some point?

Snowflake, I hope you have an easy day today and that both you and Harlowe have a far better night. Sending much love, many hugs and strength your way! xx

HmG, I'm glad your daughter is better!
I hope you and Maggie sleep better tonight!
xx

Brad, I'm sorry you and Lulu had such a rough night. I hope you are both able to sleep better tonight!

Gracie is being Gracie - crazy little booger. You wouldn't believe how many times we had to wipe her paws last night! This morning too! I took her for a nice long walk & she hit every single puddle she could get too. She's like a kid! Hugs back to you & sweet Palmer! I hope he is doing well too!
Thank you for the Anniversary wishes!

Gracie has such joy of life ~ what a treasure she is!
Palmer is doing well now that the storms have passed. She doesn't mind the lightning, but thunder makes her hide. Thank you so much for wishing her well!
You're welcome!
Have a merry day!
xx

This reminds me of me when I was a kid. My mum says every time we walked past a puddle, I would start undressing so I could jump in it. LOL LOL She loves telling that story I loved playing in the rain.

LOL!
I hope today is easier for you and that you are able to find some relaxation time!

You have a blessed and beautiful day, too!

Seems like nobody slept good last night..I was up with the youngest boy at 3 am and havent been back to bed yet.

I hope he is better soon and that you are able to get a nap in sometime today!

Good Morning, Milestone Passers and Anticipators.

Yes, as stated here before, our many Milestones are either here or on the way.

Yesterday, we passed the 1/3 mark to the Season and.......now, you had better hold on to your sleigh bells for this......our next Milestone (number five on our chart) is -- incredibly -- SINGLE DIGITS away as of tomorrow.
Indeed, Folks. We are but TEN days away from the ONE QUARTER point to Christmas Day 2016!

Days to the Season: 242
Days to Christmas Day: 284


A bit cooler yesterday, but with no further precipitation.
Now, the weather service says we just might set an all-time high temperature mark for today's date this afternoon. (The record is 86.) A a bit TOO warm for mid March, to tell you the truth.
Right now, we are standing at 57 degrees here in the capital city.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday and a Particularly Perfect 'Pines visit this evening, Friends!
Carl is ready if your are --- or even if you aren't.

Thank you, Crown!

Another fan of Mrs Brown?? Fancy that!

It's not petty. You worked yourself to the bone yesterday. It is completely rational for you to feel this way. It would have felt a lot better to get a specific mention. Anyway they may not have been specific because there were too many names to list or remember in that moment but without your input the job would not have been completed. They know that even if they didn't make the extra effort to say it. They have to ! They are lucky to have you and don't you forget it !!

Thank you for the vote of confidence!
It goes with being a proofreader---if you do your job well, of course your contribution is invisible. So if your contribution is overlooked, I guess it's actually kind of a compliment. Well, at least you and I and Mr. appreciate it!

 

[MerryCarey]

Oh yes!! I saw a clip on FB of them and about died laughing! I then looked them up on YouTube and found a 2hr live show (How Now Mrs Brown Cow) from Glasgow. I know what I'm asking for for my birthday in May!! I love British/Irish/Scottish humour!!

We saw them first on YouTube, too---someone sent us a link to a VERY funny clip, and we immediately looked up the series. We bought the DVDs on Amazon.co.uk.

The TV episodes used to be available only on PAL, but now the entire series is available on NTSC too for U.S. fans! The stage shows are still on PAL only, but we have a player that can handle it. We're planning to run one of the stage shows on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate! I sure hope you get them for your birthday!

 

[MerryCarey]

I thought of you the other day when I stumbled upon peanut butter oreos in the shop!!! I meant to tell you!

Good! Maybe you'll start getting some of the other flavors, too!

 

[Meceka]

Good morning!

Have a safe and merry day!!

 

[MerryCarey]

Yep!!! A fairly new fan. I like the comedies from there (ie The Goons, Rowan Atkinson, Mrs Brown's Boys, Michael McIntyre and I'm always looking for new good comedians from "over the pond")

Sean

Try "The Two Ronnies" (Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett). They're from the 1970s-1980s.
Ken Dodd is a scream if you can get ahold of his two "An Audience with Ken Dodd" videos.
I get a big kick out of Mr. Bean. If you haven't seen "Merry Christmas Mr. Bean," you're in for a big treat when you do!

 

[MerryCarey]

Thanks so much, Merry~

Hope you were able to get some good sleep last night.
I often have trouble winding down after an extra long day, too. It's frustrating because you're physically exhausted, but can't turn off your brain.

Hope you have a peaceful day today

Thank you! So far it's a more manageable pace today. But I still may grab a second cup of tea to pull me up a bit.
That's exactly it ... the brain has no off-switch, so it's still on duty after a hectic day!
