Elizabeth: No she doesn't want cuddles all the time, just doesn't want me doing anything I want to do!!!!
Sorry it took me so long to reply but I had to get the boys from school them had to go craft shopping for my 10yo's project.

I think I'm going to watch a movie. See you guys later.

The way Donovan's going, I'm afraid that he's going to teeth like I did. I had a full set of teeth by the time that I was one and I would eat steak. My brother had no teeth at a year old and mom said she went crazy trying to figure out what to feed him.

Carolee - posted on 09/14/2011

I'm so thankful that Lynn is on her last tooth of this "teething cycle".

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

My little guy keeps fussing in his sleep. He turned 7 mo. on Sunday and he got his first tooth on Aug 26. His third tooth will be breaking through probably tomorrow and his fourth one looks like it's only a few days behind that.

You have to read them with a Monty Python type British accent. My one cousin who has the same taste as I do tried reading it and couldn't get into them. When she tried with the accent, she laughed out loud.

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

Hitchhiker's Guide, I mean.

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

I haven't read the books, but I've seen the movie.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

I'm back and up pops an alert that Carolee just posted. I hit refresh and there's no post:(

Have you ever read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galexy" its a trilogy of 5 books. lol Seriously though, it claims to be a trilogy. My daughter asked me to read it out loud to her. She reads fine on her own, but she loves me to read out loud. I had read all of the Harry Potter books to her and she insists that when I start reading them to Donovan that I better let her come over.

Hey, I'm going to go check to see if fire put to dry plant still produces smoke. Gotta make sure the universe is as I know it. Okay, so I'm going out for a cig. be back in about 5 minutes.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

Seriously?!?! I'm getting annoyed. Michelle's post of 16 minutes ago just showed up.

Poor thing. Your little one too. That has to be miserable. Just one of those is bad enough, but to be dealing with all three at once can't be good. Does your little one (girl?) want to be held all the time and whimpery or not comfortable no mater what you do and cranky?

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

We seem to like the same things, and I really, really liked it.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

Stupid CoM wasn't letting me access this thread. Grr argh.
I wrote myself a note by the computer so I can remember to check it out. So far I definatly respect your taste so I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it.

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

It's on the free Hulu. It's funny and raunchy and gory.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

No, I should probably check it out. Is it on the free Hulu or the paid plan? I have NO extra spending money right now.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

So do you just walk in and it's first come first serve? I would have a serious problem with that. I have severe anxiety about seeing doctors (for myself only) anyway and it takes everything I have to not get up and leave when I'm in the waiting room and know when my appointment is.

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

Hey, Elizabeth! Just wondering if you've watched The Misfits on Hulu... the UK version, not the US one. If you haven't, it's awesome.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

No, I'm dealing with a teething toddler who also has an ear and chest infection! Not good. I'm also just about to go and pick up the boys from school.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

I was wondering if everyone had run away. I was sitting reading some other threads while I was folding diapers.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

Our doctors surgery bulk bill medicare (our government health care) so we don't have to pay. They only problem is you can't make an appointment so you sometimes have to wait ages to get seen.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

I'm really fortunate that the place my son and I go to have a sliding fee scale and I qualify for free and its a high quality clinic. They treat me the same as anyone else. Matter of fact, when I didn't call for a follow up for my broken ribs and they couldn't get ahold of me, they sent me a certified letter requesting that I come in. If they do this for free patients what do they do for those that are paying.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

Yeah, that's the problem with the States/ We need our health care changed but there are too many idiots who think your system is a bunch of hand outs.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

We also have a pretty good public health system. I took Isobel to the doctors and it doesn't cost me anything.
I had all 3 kids in a public hospital all free. Our government assistance is also pretty good.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

Very true. When I get my Marriage Visa I can make double what I made in New York. Plus there's the health care.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

I guess the good thing here is that our minimum wage is higher.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

I miss the States, it was cheaper to live there. Now I'm in Canada and I'm amazed there wasn't an HST on air.

Elizabeth - posted on 09/13/2011

Hi everyone, glad to see you. (figuratively of course)

Carolee, you don't have to pretend to be happy now because I'm here. So you can be happy for real.lol

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

I wish there was Meg.

Hello Carolee. Hugs from Down Under. XXXXXX

Carolee - posted on 09/13/2011

I can't force myself to pretend to be happy now, but I just wanted to say hello.

Is there a dislike button for the high cost of gas?

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

It's getting very expensive to live here, just as well I don't usually drive too far.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

Our cost of fuel converts to around $5.30 a gallon!

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

Ours is $3.69 an gallon.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

I'm about to steal some oil from the oil sands in Alberta, who's with me?

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

Our fuel is around $1.40-$1.50 a litre here!!!!

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

Ok. Well it's good I asked first. It was actually an announcement about a drive in the area if anyone lived near that area.

Damn! We pay about 99 cents a kg for bananas here in BC. They're 69 cents a pound back in NY.

I freak out over milk here because it's nearly 5$ for 4 litres. I hate gas too because it's a constant 1.29 a litre here. None of the gas stations compete for lower prices in Kelowna unlike in Rochester, To think I complained about gas at 3.67 a gallon

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

They are. Hopefully the banana growing areas get back to normal soon so the prices can drop. All my kids love bananas.

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

Yikes! Those are expensive banana's!!!

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

That's terrible.

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

We used to but then everyone was soliciting to donate money and clothes and such. So we came up with no THUMPS.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

That's why I was going to ask first. I know about no soliciting, but I was foggy on the rules for asking about the donations. I'm over in BC and most everyone I know except for my friend is in Western NY or some other part of the country.

Shannintipton - posted on 09/13/2011

What about Conferences. uh oh. That doesnt sound good. Cant do private messages either I bet. That would be spam. Shoot. I want a CoM Conference in Vegas.

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

I gave Isobel a banana the other day and you would've thought it was Christmas. Since the flooding in Queensland and Carnarvon earlier this year banana's have been sooooooo expensive. I bought 3 when I did shopping because they were "down" to $11 a kg. The most we used to pay was $2 a kg but they went up to $16 after the floods.

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

It's considered soliciting which violates no THUMPS.

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

Ok, I dropped a PM to someone. I just wanted to know because a friend of mine was doing a clothing and toy drive for flood victims from Hurricane Irene over in VT and I figured posting in here or the welcome page would help. She's doesn't have human kids yet, just pets so she technically can't post.

Katherine - posted on 09/13/2011

Unfortunately no, you can't post those things. No charity, contests, research without permission etc....

Michelle - posted on 09/13/2011

Don't want to eat the spider after you've sprayed him with hairspray, he might stick in your throat!!!!!

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 09/13/2011

I wonder if Lilli would like her daddy more if he was covered with mashed bananas.

That sounds yummy Shannin
