7:52 am

very much so, Carlee
7:52 am

thanks Mom
7:53 am
carleekat

oh yes annie...they are
7:54 am
Anniebrook

sorry to learn that
7:56 am
carleekat

they have gone their separate ways, living separate lives. I think it is no secret that there are a lot of unpleasant feelings and lickety has moved on ( I hope that is..politically correct enough without being gossipy )... MRp
will let everyone know when she is ready i am sure
7:56 am
carleekat

but she sends her love and says hello
7:57 am
lynxxx

Yes and apparently sharing the kids 50/50. The kids must both be teenagers now? I am sure they will manage OK as long as the parents can get along..they have been through a lot over the time we have all known them so that will make them pretty resiliant
7:59 am
carleekat

its tragic..but large life events... either makes a couple incredibly strong..or pulls them apart ( like in my case)...
8:00 am
Mom

((carlee))
8:00 am
lynxxx

It can make one person incredibly strong too - I see that in you Carlee
8:03 am
carleekat

thanks lynxxx...mom... although... honestly..i dont feel strong most days... and when people say " you are so strong" i dont see it. I dont have a choice...i just git'r'done
8:04 am
Mom

I think we always underestimate ourselves and our strength
8:04 am
carleekat

and days i dont HAVE to git'r'done... i tend to do NOTHING
8:04 am
Mom

it is time for me to go and start my day. It was great to see off of you. I treasure each and everyone of you. (((Hugs)))
8:05 am
carleekat

and i often times dont even understand what people actually mean by...strong... i just keep dealing with the crap of life

8:06 am
lynxxx

dealing aka strong ...that's it.
8:06 am
Anniebrook

carlee, getting 'rdone is being strong..you never gave up. You are going to school to have a decent future for yourself.
8:07 am
carleekat

dealing is just surviving... that not strong... that just taking what you have and getting through it...
8:08 am
carleekat

there are many more people out there dealing with far more and surviving and excelling... i wont know if I get to excell for a couple years..
8:08 am
Anniebrook

carlee, you get up, you do what has to be done, schooling for example..you are surviving well, then
8:08 am
carleekat

8:13 am
carleekat

no $ for a manicure annie... that part of why yesterday was a crap day..i am applying for a bursary from the school for "broke" students...i had to go through paperwork showing my expenses.. and needs etc..truly pathetic... and today I get to write a 1000 word essay WHY I am asking for $
8:13 am
carleekat

incredibly...demoralising... begging for money
8:14 am
carleekat

but..its 2K so...in the end worth it... just.. humiliating to be 45 and have nothing to show for a life..
8:15 am
Anniebrook

Carlee, I know. However you are not begging. You are asking for financial aid to continue your education so that you will have a better future for you and your children. Good luck and don't give up.
8:16 am
Anniebrook

carlee, You may not believe me but you are very young and have namy good years ahead of you. But one day, you will believe me. You will make something of your life. You will.
8:17 am
carleekat

to top things off...i found out I am actually getting my father's ring..( was a ring my mum gave him when they were teens... is a nice cobachon ruby set in gold)... my father lef tme nothing... my step mother got everything ( i am an only child) ( he had a private twin engine 8 seater plane..) nothing for my kids...and she gave a "box of stuff" to my aunts... in it was the ring...they are giving me the ring... but my step mother... did not think I should have anything of my fathers
8:18 am
carleekat

so...yes am happy about the ring... but the circumstances made me feel pretty crappy... it was a bad day..ok..done venting...
8:18 am
Anniebrook

carlee, then she is a sh*t but glad you got the ring.
8:19 am
Anniebrook

Can a lawyer help you? Will that cost money or will he or she take it on a contingency basis?
8:19 am
redturtlehead

Ok I have returned. With Milk. I forgot my wallet soI ended up having to look for space change for it in my car. Something tells me this is so far, not really my day. Hope the rest of the week improves!
8:20 am
carleekat

yes...she is... I just keep wondering when do things..start to change for me... i guess MRp and I have that in common... sh*t just keeps happening to both of us... and life just keeps dealing out more sh*t
8:20 am
redturtlehead

very glad you are getting the ring, that will be nice.
8:20 am

8:23 am

8:24 am

Moms are always there. Bless them. What about the ex? Can he tide you over for a while? You took care of him when he needed it.
8:28 am
carleekat

she has not replied :( ..its ok..am in touch with her daughter a bit... she goes underground when she is dealing with her own things..my stuff would only add to her load.. she will resurface when she is ready to cope... I know beloved was having a rough go with his parkinsons and is in a wheelchair now..he's a large man..and scarlet is a bitty little thing..so is difficult
8:28 am
carleekat

he has helped a bit too... and for that I am grateful...I dont expect more assistance from him..
8:28 am

Oh dear, sad about beloved.
8:28 am

Minveryork

I am almost do 4/5 with th 4/5 grid so now I will be a do 5/12 and donate a story with a ro5/14 of clues to ai 4/5 you with the grid. Many years ago, I adopted a rescue dog from Hu 5/14, Texas. I named him Ru 4/5y. Ru 4/5y played a major ro4/4 in my life.I was so impressed with his no 4/5. He was so smart! I loved Ru4/5y & he loved me.We id4/5ized each other.He went everywhere with me like the de4/5 or Dunkin' Do6/24.Every night, Ru4/5y slept at the fo 4/7 of my bed & every morning he would ro 5/12 me out of bed with many face licks. I taught him some amazing tricks. I taught him how to play hi4/5 and seek.I taught him how to walk in a straight li4/4 with his eyes closed. He was able to si 4/7 through my laundry and separate the darks from the whites. We ate every meal together.After I ate a lo 4/4 of pork, my dog would chew on the bone.I have a great hi4/5ory with my dog. Th 4/5 one day Ru4/5y di4/6 after getting hit by a drunk driver.As he passed away,I shook my fi4/7 at God and yelled at him for taking my dog away from me. I was st 4/5ned how he was taken away from me in just a split second. I experienced terrible do6/24 when he passed away. I felt so alo4/4 and forlo4/4 when he was gone. I did not take his death well.For many months I ho4/8ed it on over to the bar to ho 5/12 several beers. I also su 4/6 the drunk driver, but that did not bring back my dog. After he passed away, my mom told me to have fa5/18 in that I'd get another dog just as unique as Ru4/5y.I do have another dog now named Ru4/6, but she's nothing like my other dog. Husband is being a ro 4/4 pain in the butt and wants to to ou4/5 me off the laptop. He wants a tu4/5 on the computer. I hope that you've found some more words that are hi 6/27 in the grid. I am going to go watch the movie "The Li4/4 King" th4/5 I will be back to finish the puzzle & to help out with clues. Be back later.

The dinosaur park was awesome...completely geared to kids...water park and everthing...and it wasn't crowded. I loved the Beluga whales at the Mystic Aquarium...as well as the pizza at Mystic Pizza! And it was fascinating to go onto the USS Nautilus! Many highlights!

It was only his 3rd marathon ever.

I am a bit disappointed that all the choices he had to make were not highlighted. It IS what the Olympics is about.

He very politely and without fanfare said no. I can think that many others would have put aside the

I loved his story. And I think he really loved doing it for a home crowd.
2:17 pm

err what I was trying to say is that so many people change nationalities etc for a shot at the Olympics, but this guy just said no, and was not planning on running at all...
2:17 pm

I'm curious if he will be running for the US in Rio, as he is almost a US citisen.
2:17 pm

when he was 14 at the last games he got so much attention that he had to move schools because he was being bullied - his dad was epic insisting that Tom was just a boy and had to have a happy childhood

Wow. Who would bully an Olympian?

2:19 pm

THere is a precedent, Over the years, there have been athletes that have run under the Olympic flag, usually from nations experiencing unrest. (South Sudan...will not have an Olympic committee for years, I mean really.) also East Timor etc.

Mo is AWESOME.

We are now doing a summary of all the non GB moments, fantastic :)
2:21 pm
redturtlehead

I am trying to be gracious, because Bolt is incredible, but...I'm not good at it.
2:22 pm
KatieMcG

He broke a world record yesterday but had the presence of mind to make us love him even more by doing the mobot as he crossed the line, Britain has Bolt at their hearts
2:23 pm
redturtlehead

Tyson Lives here in Clermont, he trains at the same gym I do, and we had the hip surgeries within months of each other. THe Olympics were so badly timed, as he is not really recovered 100% but Bolt is I think better than him.
2:23 pm

So You know, I really had some attachment to that race.
2:24 pm

But Tyson lost gracefully, and he will be more recovered soon.

Th 4/5 one day Ru4/5y di4/6 after getting hit by a drunk driver.As he passed away,I shook my fi4/7 at God and yelled at him for taking my dog away from me. I was st 4/5ned how he was taken away from me in just a split second. I experienced terrible do6/24 when he passed away. I felt so alo4/4 and forlo4/4 when he was gone. I did not take his death well.For many months I ho4/8ed it on over to the bar to ho 5/12 several beers. I also su 4/6 the drunk driver, but that did not bring back my dog. After he passed away, my mom told me to have fa5/18 in that I'd get another dog just as unique as Ru4/5y.I do have another dog now named Ru4/6, but she's nothing like my other dog. Husband is being a ro 4/4 pain in the butt and wants to to ou4/5 me off the laptop. He wants a tu4/5 on the computer. I hope that you've found some more words that are hi 6/27 in the grid. I am going to go watch the movie "The Li4/4 King" th4/5 I will be back to finish the puzzle & to help out with clues. Be back later
