Re: Did you miss me? *Akiba*

Shucks, it feels good to be loved . And it was you who messed last year up!!!! My pounds (don't know how to do the English thingie on this keyboard) didn't hit my bank account either. But they sure hit my thighs! Hope this year I gain in the $ dept and lose a few pounds of flesh.

Wowsers, you baked a cake for Rob's BD? You're a better woman than me . Did he eat it with a smile on his face or did he pick at it looking for traces of something weird?

Give Robbin a belated birthday hug from me. Wow 14 already???? How are the kitty family and how many do you have now? Oh and remember what you're forgetting because it sounds good and interesting .... hugs, Cait

Did you miss me?

Thanks to freecycle, I have arisen. I'm afraid I had to do a mass delete but hopefully I'll make some headway reading the web. I only have the slowest speed now and cancelled most of the tv channels as well. So hopefully this will hold up well enough to use for email .

Anyway I hope everyone is well and warm! We've snow on the ground and so far I haven't ventured out the door since. Made sure I went to the dr to get refills first so no 'have to' runouts in case of a blizzard.

I let my neighbor Ross use my garage for one of his cars in return for him handling my snow. I thought it was a good deal and would save having to run all the way over here with his snow plow. He was a little miffed because he was going to put his boat in there. But it's just as well since he's hurt his right arm and can't shovel the stairs,etc.

I really can't think of what I've been doing so obviously nothing exciting. I tried to get some kind of job because I'm having a hard time getting by on a pension of $35/mo! For any Canadians, that's my CPP which is so small, I can't qualify for CPP Disability. So moral of that is if you work for a family business, take friggin' deductions for yourself!

Anyway I've been reading a lot ... Sharon, did you see Grafton has V for Vengeance out?

I've also got a new grandson who I've yet to see even though the hospital is right down the street from me. My daughter didn't even tell me she had a C-section scheduled for Hallowe'en so when I got the call from my son-in-law I was at first worried that they were okay and then hurt. Before I stopped reading FB I could see how often she came into town for various reasons besides doctor's visits. And never once did she call to say hello or 'would you like to go out for lunch'. Believe me she was not brought up that way; my mother was alone and had health problems and I called and visited all the time. Maybe I'm being oversensitive and maybe is right ... I get to see Sonya some time in the Christmas holidays to give her her gifts, some time around her birthday to give her her gifts. And if I'm really lucky, sometimes around Easter to give her gifts.

Anyway it hurts and I've been in the dumps about that.

Happier thoughts ... is the holiday exchange still open? .. hugs, Cait
