Thanks Shannon, the second one sounds like the one I can't find.   I am going to try and check out some auroa jeans.  The closest tractor supply is like 65 miles from here.  We have Orschlen stores all over the place. 

Val, glad I could help!!!! I've never had one, may have to try it out myself.

mmmm that pecan pie sounds great!! looks simple to make!!

Good luck finding your Auras Val!

ohhh myy i keep reading this and I will be able to wear my auras again.  I love those jeans but i cannot wear them cuz of me and my special k diet.  They are the best ones for riding love love love them.  I need to go buy some more or eat some of these recipes and let nature take its course!!!!

I can't stop thinking about that Pecan Pie!

Me too Wild LOL! I need to g down to Mike's and snag a bottle (or two) of bourbon so I can make some.

2 bottles are better then one.  the first bottle might get lonley.  better yet, get 3.  that way when you chug the first one you will have two left.

whats everyones turkey day plans?

Well WC is having trouble telling us when George's next check will come- they closed the office it did come out of & switched to Wisconsin and everythings ALL messed up. It's been 11 days since we got his last one & just spent the last of it today on his diabetes/BP meds & essentials like milk, bread, etc. So we're skipping Thanksgiving this year, thank you Liberty Mutual!

And since I'm in a royally shitty mood I'm going to vent...I can do it here where I'm "safe". First off Cathy and that POS boyfriend. They came by for like half an hour last weekend. He got pissed because I took the baby out of her car seat & held her for a bit before letting George hold her- sat & gave us nasty looks, then when WeinerDog walked over & sniffed the car seat- sniffed it mind you, did not hike his leg or anything, just checking out the smell- he hauled off & kicked him. I VERY politely (as I bit my tongue hard) told him there was no reason for that. "F*ckin dogs need to get away" was his reply. Okay first off all the dogs except WD were in the "kennel room". WD had been in our bedroom but got out when Cathy went in to use my bathroom. Second off you do not kick a 9 pound dog with your work boots!!!! So anyway I call Cat today thinking she's at her place, nope she's been at his since Friday sometime. He lives 4 miles or so from us, are they going to come over? Nope, he doesn't like the baby being around the dogs and he doesn't like coming to our house because there's nothing to do but we can come see the baby at her apartment in Elizabethtown when she's there. WTH??? Her apartment is on the second floor- no way that George can manage those steps! There's some other issues about the way she's suddenly letting him control everything that need to be addressed...so I see a big nasty fight coming up real soon.

Hopefully things will calm down alittle as time goes on..  Cat is probably just feeling like she has to make things work with him now because of the baby, that could be why she is acting more that way.  Just remember her hormones are still outta wack, and adjusting to a newborn is hard.  For me I would prefer people to come to our house, so I don't have to lug everything with me.  But I totaly understand in your case with George and the stairs.  We are a dog family, I want Wade around dogs but at the same time my MIL's dogs worry me.  But I know/hope that they wouldn't let anything happen to Wade or his things.  I am positive you won't let anything happen to that baby eaither, he does need a talkin to about that!  You have more respect and common sence then he is giving you credit for!  Anything I don't want peed/chewed on I set up at her house, if he is that worried about it he can do the same thing!  Try to remember that not too long ago he was helping you out around the house.  It's a big adjustment for the guys also.  Having said that it doesn't mean he can be disrespectful.  Kicking a dog for no reason is not ok.

Hugs to you and George.  I am sorry George hasn't got his check.  That sucks big time especially around the holidays.  I hope you get the check soon.  Just remember Thanksgiving isn't about the big elaborate meal, it's about being with your family.  When I'm going through hard times I always try to remember there is someone out there who would love to have my life.  No matter how bad it gets things could be worse.  ((((HUGS)))

Well now I know why I was in such a crappy mood when I posted...stupid pre-menopause. Woke up at 3am w/awful cramps & though "AHA! That's why I was so bitchy today" LOL

Supposedly George's check will be here by Sat. We'll see. I went ahead & set up an appt with the workers comp attorney who was recomended to us & got the paperwork printed up to apply for social security disability for him too.

I dug through the freezer today & decided we're doing a deer roast for Thanksgiving . The weather is supposed to be fairly decent Thursday, Jeremy asked if he could ride for a while before we eat Thanksgiving dinner. He doesn't ask often so I said shoot yeah!

I think a big reason I'm stressed over Cathy is I'm afraid she's going to do something stupid like marry this guy. If she does that she loses the state paying for her to get her nursing degree & all the other benefits. I just see her falling into the same trap I did at that age & it scares the crap out of me. I know, they have to make their own mistakes but I don't want to see her have to go through it.

Off to snarf down some Midol, be back later today I'm sure.

 {{{{HUGS}}}} for making me feel better & even bigger {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to the baby!

Hey everyone loves to ya all.  Shannon hold on I totally understand the hatin of the kids choice of "companion".  I am lucky and they have nothing totally tieing them together.  Except her family is loaded and it appears that is very appealling to gomer.  I hope everyone had a great as possible turkey day.  I did my best but the gomers bimbo screwed it over so......oh well life goes on.  I hope everyone is well talk to ya soon.

Turnin- we need a bimbo story- do tell!

Shan- hows it going?

Where is Val??

I am back, my computer was down for almost 2 weeks because the roofers unhooked the satelitte when they put on the new roof.  I had a house ful of all the kids and the stupid house dogs over thanksgiving then my sister from Canada was down and she brought my mother with her for a visit.  Too many people.  Had to let the weiner dogs stay in the house while they were here for a week but the jack russel and the min pin were in the pens outside at least until they grandkids let them out and they ran off.  They are more than likely lunch for wile coyote.  I am ready for a break. 

Sorry to hear that you are having so many problems and worries Shannon but as much as you don't want your daughter to make mistakes they are hers to make and you can't live her life for her.  We all want better for our kids but they have to do what they do.  Just be there for her in the long run.

Wow!  Val!  Sounds like you had a house full!!  How is your mom doing?  Does she miss you?    Glad to have you back!!
