That is okay, I have been in and out, so it makes us even. 
These boys' make you crazy at times. 
I can not keep up with them, I think they are going down the Gold Coast, so watch out Pharlap, stay off the roads tonight. LOL Just joking.
I have an extra 3 boys' here tonight, I think they are all wanting the easter bunny to leave them something. Good thing I always make sure that I have extra, isn't it.

LOL! And how old are these boys?? We just made our plans today for Easter. We're going to go get homemade style takeout (no one wants to cook ) and go to the nursing home and have dinner with Dad. 
So in that batch of pictures I got yesterday, I had forgotten that I took pictures of my fallen bougainvillea. Want to see? DH chopped it up today, I am sad  But the stump and roots are intact and he thinks it will grow itself back.

Hello Pharlap, good to see you.
It certainly sounds as if she may have added a rock or two to the parcel. LOL haha

Well Pharlap, I do have some bricks floating around out in the yard...LOL! And you know what, there isn't much padding in this one either. But it didn't seem like much when i packaged it up...
Yes Netta, it's about going back to work. The doctor is aiming for May 1st on a part-time basis at first. Let's just hope that I don't get laid off a week later!  I'm hearing even more bad news from my friends. Everyone is on edge over there!
Ok, here's the pics of my poor bush:
And this is the pretty flowers it had, most of them were white, but some had tinges of fuschia:

Ohhhh... Mouse. That bush don't look too good. You do know that they're supposed to grow upright and not sideways don't you?

Now I can see why it fell over in the wind, it is very heavy looking and I would say that it very definetly needed a trellis to attatch itself to. Now that it is pruned back it will not take long to grow again. Especially with you coming into warmer weather.
That is wonderful news about your getting to go back to work at long last. We will all be hoping and praying that all is okay for you.

I forgot to tell you how old my extra boarder are, I have 2 extra 16 year olds, and one 20 year old. The 20 year old, I can not stand.  Believe me I have tried, I disliked the kid, way back in primary school and all through high school as well. I tried to like him and even let him move in here for a short while (it felt like years), he lied to us over and over again, and we coped abuse from his delusional mother as well. Oh well such is life. I have survived and learnt a big life lesson from it as well. Never let a kid you hate move into your house.

Good news about going back to work part time... but are you sure you feel ready for it?
I hope that the situation there stabilises (sp??) a bit so you can set your mind at ease.

Netta, my Mom learned that lesson too with a friend of mine She only stayed 3 weeks, but we were all ready for her to go after we saw her true colors (I hadn't known her long when she moved in).
I think I'm as ready to go back to work as I'm going to get. I still have some pretty bad days, but nothing like last year. It's just going to take some time to heal and get strong again. And being back to a schedule and getting out & about will help. I'm still not doing my exercises as much as I should, I'm afraid to hurt again. I need to get over that and get motivated!

Mouse this kid was here for almost 8 weeks and it was the longest 8 weeks of my life. I hate him even coming over now, but he is my son's friend and although they are not as close as they used to be, they have still known each other for a long time and I just know that one day my son is going to wake up and realise that this other kid is a jerk.
I am sure that once you are back at work, your body will adjust itself. You will have to take it easy at first, but you will soon know your limitations.

I'm sure he will too. Kids that have good heads on their shoulders (and knowing you, your kids must! ) usually figure it out sooner or later.

I have been wondering about Tigerlady and her sister all day today. I hope everything is alright with her.
Tigerlady if you are reading this sometime, how is your sister, and did you find out yet what happened to your brother in law? Was it a heart attack or what? Let us know when you can.

Sorry Mouse, I could not post properly before, I had my mother on the phone. Asking me questions because she could not get one of my sisters' on the phone, and she was worried that she may have been in having her baby. Duh I don't know how many times I have told her, that when the time comes I will phone and why she would think I would be home if my sister was in labour I don't know because when the time comes I will be there as well looking after my niece. Oh well I guess she is getting old and forgetful. LOL

Joke time.
Deep in the backwoods, the hillbilly's wife went into labour in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery.
Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father to be a lantern and said. "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm doing."
Soon a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there," said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush to put that lantern down... I think there's another one coming."
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern ... It seems there's yet another one in there!" cried the doctor.
The hillbilly scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor, "Do you think it's the light that's attractin' 'em?"
