Topic: Paulie the wonder bird!
Paulie the wonder bird is doing well.
Last night when i was on my brand new computer!!!!!!! can you hear the joy in my typing??? he was on his upstairs perch watching me read and type.
I went onto youtube and played a video of Einstien the african grey same type of bird as my Paulie. In the video Einstien was taking away dancing it was very comical and interesting how intelligent that bird was. OMG you should have seen Paulie! He was watching that video just like I watch QVC the shopping channel!
I had to wonder what he was thinking.
I have a small 3 level condo. My living room is where the birds have their cages. Paulie has perches in my upstairs where the bedrooms are and down in my basement den.
Last week Paulie was in the living room while I was upstairs getting ready for work. He was chattering away scolding the other birds, the dog and the cats. He meows just like my cats! Every now and then he's say "I love you" and I'd repeat it down the stairs to him. I noticed it was kinda quiet he was softly muttering to himself. It was so quietly said I couldn't understand what he was saying. then it went silent for 5 or 10 minutes. then he yells "I DON'T WORK HERE!" i said what? He yells again I DON'T WORK HERE! of course that cracked me up laughing so he kept saying it over and over again. I have got to hide my camcorder down there and tape him. I swear the minute I bring out any camera he clams up. I have to try to tape him from out of the room then no one believes that he's saying the things he says.
he is a riot.

Topic: RE: it's saturday !!!!!!!!!
My saturday I spent going to the outlets in clinton CT to pick up some gift cards at the Coach store. my daugther love that place. she saves up the gift cards she gets until she has enough for a new bag,. Personally I have no idea why she likes those bags that much! I am a pocket book person big time. I have a shelf in my closet with just bags. But I'm happy with vera bradleyO i love her bags. and I do like Dooney burkes alot. I only have one of those but would like to add to that! I'm a bargan shopper so for me to buy name brand they have to be on sale, clearance, consignment shop or good will. I refuse to pay 300 bucks for a bag.
I too am concerned with gift cards. I love to give and get those but man it seems liek there are so many stores going out of business! I'm trying to stick to ones that feel good that will stay around. Hopefully I've chosen them wisely.
I've cut back too on the gift and sending holiday cards. I kept a list of who I got cards from last year and will send to those but others I'm not sending to. I think if they send one to me this year that I won't return send a card and hopefully it all clears up next year! the world will not end if I don't send cards. Then again it might help the post office!
I'm so thrilled that gas costs have lowered in my town. I live in a small town were the gas prices always were very high. Uusally higher than in other towns. but right now for the past month we've had the lowest prices. Right now we are at $1.67 a gal. tahts fantastic in our area. I work in New London abouit 30 minutes from my home. The lowest Ive gotten there is $1.99 a gallon but I will admit its much better than over 4! to think how happy I am to be saving over 3 dollars a gallon. I'm still being careful of how much I drive (thats diffifult seeing as how I'm in sales and drive all day!) I haven't gotten my oil tank filled yet but am hoping it too will be lower than last time. I have to keep the house warm cause of my little feathered friends.

Topic: RE: I do believe the man just broke up with me.
Its a very pretty snowy day in Connecticut. Fortuantely its not alot of snow! I love how nice it looks but am not a big fan of snowy weekdays when I have to drive!
The guy called last night asking if I was coming to visit. I said no. I said if you weren't real happy with me friday night then your not going to be happy with me tonight. I'm staying home.
He was very sweet and sugary. Of course he was. I expected that.
He also made me doubt myself and how I had thought he ment the things he said,. like maybe I was over reacting to it. In fact he said that he's the type that doens't let things fester. That if something nbeeds to be siad he'll say it and forget about it that I cant let things fester or they will ruin our relationship. OK.....hummm I'm seeing a pattern here.
I recall the conversation being much different than how he is portraying it. I need to continue to believe in myself.
I am having a very nice sunday! relaxing slept late had a nice breakfast. Going to do some baking all on my time.
I agree that relationships require time and discussions. If a conversation even an arguement that is upsetting happens it needs to be worked through. but sometimes people have arguements or conversations that are one sided. Sometimes they say something then say you misunhderstood when you really didn't but that it is easier to say you misunderstood when you khow you've said something thats not right than to admit that what you said wasn't right. I was married to someone like that for 25 years who convinced me that I was stupid and could never amount to anything without him.
I think I"m doing pretty good without him and I know I will continue to do very well on my own.
Thank youi so much for your input and support!
good luck to us all and god bless,
Pam

I'm sorry this guy seems to have turned into a toad. He sounds pretty self-centered to me, especially if you have spent time doing for him when he was not well, that he can't do the same for you!
I hope they get to the bottom of your energy issues and you bounce back soon!
Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

((( Margo )))
At this point it is ALMOST Sunday .. 11:30 on Saturday night .. lol
I had a dentist appointment at 9 a.m. to remove a temporary crown and glue in the permanent one. Ran home, collected Mr Mo and off we went ... Wally World, Lowes, Sam's Club, BJ's, Verizon Store in the mall, all the stores in the mall while I waited for them to deal with my phone (thwy swapped it out for a new one just like the old one ... but now my ring tones are gone and I've been surfing trying to find them again .. ) It was after 3 when we got back here, and then went out to dinner about 5:45. On the way back from dinner we stopped at the new Safeway ... I didn't need anything just wanted to see it. They have just had the grand opening of a new Safeway .. they totally tore down the old one and rebuilt on the same property (and then some ..) The new store is easily 3 times the size of the original store. In the 22 years I have lived here, I think I can count on 2 hands how many times I was in the old Safeway .. I might be shopping in the new one more frequently!!!
I had the mini-week from H E double toothpicks! It seemed like I had software support on speed dial. I had go to assist sessions going every day, out of 6 cashiers only 2 didn't have issues settling batches that required vendor support because something funky happened. Oh and lest I forget, as I turned the corner on Friday a.m. almost to the parking garage, and the speedometer on my truck rolled to 102,000 .. the fuel pump on Big Blue kicked the bucket!! My big truck got to go for a ride on a flatbed wrecker and $930 and change later I got it back Friday night. This is on top of the $3,000 or so that went into the SAME truck in October. It's cheaper than payments on a new truck .. but geeeeeeeeeeeez ..
So, I needed the distraction of running around doing stuff today. I actually did some 'shopping' for Christmas gifts. We just buy for the nieces and nephews and I'm trying to weed those down .. get rid of the ones over 20 .. but not sure how that will fly. (I'm weeding on Mr Mo's side . lol). I am the queen of gift cards, but I've seen/heard so many dire things about being careful with gift cards this year, I'm trying to buy gifts but that makes the budget thing a bit rough.
Speaking of snow, we have had a tiny amount here in Maryland today into the night. Enough that it lay on the ground but not so much that it will be a nuisance .. at least I hope not! Will see in the a.m.
Ok, it's now even closer to Sunday. I'm going to take my sleepy self to bed.
Hugs, Mo

Hi Connie,
I have missed this board so very much. did i tell yhou how my wonderful family bought a new computer for me for my birthdy and christmas? And this past week I finally had the cable guy come and fix my interent connect? life is great!
Don' tbe confused I'm pretty sure he broke up with me.
This problem I'm having with my low blood sugar is driving me nuts! the guy and I were always very busy doing things on the weekends. Friday night we would go out to dinner maybe a movie stop and dance for most of the night then go to a 24 hour grocery store to pick up breakfast. I've always been somneone with alot of engery and it was nice having someone else with as much energy. But with the problem i'm haivng with the low blood sugar I just do not have the energy that I've had before.
I'm tired most of the time and have to push myself to get up in the morning and go to work. then conjtinue to do a good job. hey thats what pays my bills. its what i need to survive especailly in this economy. then when i come home i have to I need to I want to take care of my little animals. they are my little furry, feathered babies and I love them.
The guy was starting to make some noise about how he's not into birds. he accepts my dog and tolartes the cats but he didn't care for the birds. my reply was well i love them i guess its a good thing you do not have birds. i figured if he ment things he said about me that he would either accept them or move on. so its probly alittle more than me not having energy!
anyways, i did not see him last week because i was in NH with my family. and when we got home I needed to take care of the animals plus I was exhaused phyiscally exhaused after the drive. so i stayed home saturday dn sunday to do the things I needed to. clean cages, laundry, grocerys and sleep.
so last night he came to my place and we went to the movies. we had a nice time and laughed alot talked just had a nice time togehter catching up too,. after the movies we took a drive around town to look at lights. we got back to my place around 1030 and i of course was pooped. we sat on the couch to talk and the next thing i knew i was sound alseep. he would talk to me to try to wake me up and i'd talk a minjutebut really had no control over it i would fall asleep again.
he got tic'd off about that and said that i wasn't putting any energy into being with him. that he felt that i should push myself.
he is a big baby and i do not have the time or energy to deal with crap like that.
connie i thought about this lasdt night and came up with the same idea as you. my birthday is next week followed by the big holiday gift time season! he had made a comment last week when we were tlaking on the phone that money was tight he's not making his goals (commission person just like me) so he's not making good money plus he bought a new car which i think if your not makinjg your goals or money and your dipping into savings to pay bills than you should maybe with the way the econmy is not to and stiumlate it with a brand new big SUV.if you need a car then maybe look at something alittle bit more economical. but my other thought is hey its his money not mine!
so anyways he got his point across. he's not happy staying at home when the lady is ill. Ok that pretty much tells me what our life would be like if we were to marry now doesn't it?
sooooooooooooo people Pammy loves herself and wants herself healthy. That is Pammys number 1 goal right now. I am not going to be with anyone who isn't as concerned about my health as he should be.
this is the guy when he was ill for the first 4 monjths of our relationship that I took him to doctors, i was there in the hospital, every weekend cooking, picking up perscriptions. theres a list that i will not bring up to him.
i dealt with an ex who the world had to revolve around. i'm not going to get involved with anothe mini king.
Connie? you still reading? Do you think I'mm I on the right track?
I'm feeling pretty strong right now but I'm sure over the next few days there will be some poor me stories being typed on this brand new nice computer!
thanbk you for reading
