NOTES FROM YOUR QUEEN......

1. First of all, I wanna apologize for being so late in replying to everyone's posts here lately. I think the board has taken a dislike to me....each time I tried to post last week, it would open a new page and then it would say page is unavailable...click refresh or retry....SHCMJ says it's the site not the computer....it has happened off and on this am too.... 2. Next KUDOS to the Tams and Dawn for talking honestly and frankly without killing each other or fighting. Tams thanks for laying it on the line and Dawn thanks for taking in and doing better! Ya'll bees good folks.... 3. I am so stressed, that I can't decide WHO to slap first....This move is getting on my nerves! I got a list started for SHCMJ to work on and I have a list - course my list is about 500 items longer than SHCMJ's but I guess that is because I am the wife and he does go out to work each day.....just tired thinking about all to do and all the expense involved in moving....and NOBODY seems to be cooperative....$45 a month for a 10 x 10 storage! $1500 to pick up and deliver your household to Brandon (less than 75 miles), but we won't pack for you (another $1500 and we will) and you MUST BUY the boxes from us ($1.90 up to $9.00 per box)!!! SHEESH!!! It's bad enough having to pay $500 to take the 6 lb baby (Polly) into the apartment..... Moving costs are regulated by the federal government and they are all asking approx $1500 just to move the stuff - but some charge extra for things like washers and dryers, boxes, and furniture...are they nutz???....FEDERALLY regulated??? PULHEASE!!!!!!! I could load up Christine the possessed and take the stuff to Brandon on her for less than $1500 without a truck!...... 4. I am outta bread, eggs, dishwasher soap, milk, salad stuff, cold cuts for SHCMJ's lunch....and guess what....I DON'T care!!! All I can think of is if I go buy it I may have to pack it to move and I don't wanna!!! 5. Gotta love the kinfolks...... We had a family reunion yesterday and everybody is so very excited about my surgery and weight loss and EVERYONE took part in fixing my plate and checking to see what I'd eaten....I didn't eat much so that was okay. There was a pound cake there made (I was told) with Splenda....Well, I got a piece...Em told me on the way home, she was told it was 1/2 splenda and 1/2 sugar....I only ate 2 or 3 little bites cause it was awfully sweet.....And thank you God, before I got into the banana pudding, I had a little conversation with the maker (of the pudding, not God) and it went like this: "Is the banana pudding made with Splenda?" "no, but it has NO sugar in it." "Oh, did you use equal or sugar-free pudding?" , "No, I used that other stuff, but I can't think of the name of it." "Not Splenda, not nutrasweet, not sugar", "Yes, not splenda, not nutrasweet, NO SUGAR AT ALL,.....oh, I remember....SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK".......H-E-L-L-O! 6. Last I heard from Jon, he was in Dalton, GA. They played Jackson, Memphis, Tupelo, and Birmingham and were to play in Dalton, GA Saturday night.....Doesn't know when he will be home....doesn't know where all they will be before they end it up, but does know that Pensacola is on the list....so check your papers for "Wretched Flamingo". Having a BLAST!!!! Making enough $ to get to the next show, and are piling up at folks' grandparents homes, friends of friends' homes and where ever they can stretch out.....oh, to be 21..... 7. I will prolly just check into to read the boards once a day....I may not post much for the next two weeks.....but if you hear of a mass murder in the Conehatta area in the next coupla, please come visit me in prison....I may commit murder over the phone, if I can just figure out how.....after calling all these places and trying to get all this stuff arranged..... Think of me long and often....I will be stressin'..... Love to all my dearest folks! Smoochies and hugs
