Laura (apenandzen) Yoga class - what does that have to do with the price of beans? That's not where she met your dad, is it??

Please tell me yoga doesn't make you more likely to have a baby @ 40.

Cuz I was thinking about taking one, actually.

YIKE


message 1302: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Great! You do it then!

I already gave up (practically) my childhood, I'm not giving up my 40's and 50's too.

(I was pregnant at age 21.)

OOK

YIKE

*shivers*

I haven't quite finished Twilight. I'm fried of it though. My teenager is excessively obessed with Twilight! She wants to paint her room blood read w/black curtains to match her Twilight posters and books.

UGH!


message 1304: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Mine too Emilee. She can't wait to see the movie. They have this whole cultish group that're all into it. (although not so much w/the blood red walls, and believe me I'm not gonna mention it either!)

I'm hoping the surgery my husband had a few years back puts me in the clear, Fiona. Although I've heard some stories there too....


message 1305: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) It would be so hard to cover up & change tho. I see my daughter as a tenant, I know she's temporary, so I had to "approve" her room color - it will go back to being my sewing room eventually. She's got good taste tho. she is an HGTV nut.


message 1306: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) What about Daphne on Frasier, Fiona? Do you like her too?


message 1307: by [deleted user] (new)

I am so glad it's not just my daughter. I am actually going to let her paint it. It will be hard to cover up but I figure "choose my battles". I would rather let her paint her room "blood" red then have her under age drinking or doing drugs.

It's so hard being a parent.

Laura I had my first at 21!


message 1308: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) I like all of them (Frasier). Love the father. He's my favorite.

Yeah, I don't recommend it, Emilee. It's nice now to be 40 and her almost off to school. My hubby's almost 9 years older than me, so that's why I was so young.

How about you? Are you glad you became a mom at 21? Would you do it differently.


message 1309: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) This thread is so funny.

I can't think of anything to write. I think I'll go and eat some ramen.

Ann from S.C. | 1395 comments Hello all. I had a busy rainy day. Then for the last 2 hours, I got in my nice warm, dry bed and read!!

I had my 1st child at age 23. My second was a surprise at age 33. Then, my 3rd, a SHOCK!!!!! at age 36. Yes, I know what causes them and what prevents them. Now, I can't imagine life without my boys.

I was very young and very neurautic with my 1st, my daughter. I think with my boys, since I was older, I was more relaxed, and I am enjoying them more. Ofcourse, it might be because the 1st is a girl, and the 2 younger are boys...lol


message 1311: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) I waited until I had a good relationship/a good business/a good place to live and then planned to get pregnant right down to the week it would be convenient to give birth. Of course everything went wrong, but that's the nature of the universe and I still have my son, my lovely son.



message 1312: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) Fiona, my mom had me when she was 42. The "youngest" was 18 at the time. She was taking the pill and stopped because she thought she was going through menopause. She didn't realize she was pregnant with me until her 6th month. She was gaining weight and she started to feel flutters. She thought she had a cyst or something, so my dad insisted on taking her to the doctor. They had one hell of a surprise! =)


message 1313: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Laura, don't let your daughter rent in Italy. I heard they are pretty strict with what you do in the house, like painting....

Fiona, com'on give the thing that comes on the wrong time to me. I need it before going to Dublin!!!!!!! But of course it is going to happen when I am getting on that airplane..it always seems to do that.
How do you sit at your laptop? Upside down??? Becasue, how could my piece of white chocolate have felt in your mouth....falling is downwards!!!!

I used to watch taggart too!!! Yes, I saw Lewis. In the beginning i didn't like it but seen some episodes that I did like.

here I see often CSI's


message 1314: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) My mum, who was a virgin, got pregnant on her wedding night. She said that she ran into the bathroom and locked the door and shouted at my father, "If my mother knew what you wanted to do to me, she'd never have let me marry you."


message 1315: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Yes Fiona, I saw practicall all of Taggart with well taggart in it. I liked it.

And now I would really like it if something starts for this month, don't care if it gives me pain or whatever BUT just start!!!!!
Fiona till I had an emergency operation I would have about a week ebfore the feeling, the need to start running, seimming ...all kinds of sport. It gave me so much energy and I never got pain. Now it is the contrary... Luckily there are bottles of water and lots of warm tea!!!!


message 1316: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Sure Fiona, lets start dreaming now too! :-)


message 1317: by [deleted user] (new)

Laura: I am glad I was a mom so young. I have enjoyed every minute.


message 1318: by [deleted user] (new)

I think that is so funny about going off the pill for menopause. My girlfriend just went into the dr because she thought she was pregant and her youngest she just sent off to college. She called me saying it is menopause & was so thankful. I don't blame her I wouldn't want to start a family again at 51.


message 1319: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Fiona, I think my brain is making fun of me with all those questions that I know I won't find an answer on but want to find an answer for.


I sometimes have to forbid myself to wonder about those kind of things or it affects my mood and can become really .......


message 1320: by [deleted user] (new)

Last night we went to see the High School production of Amadeus. They did a great job! Loved it.

I love going to see plays, opera, dance, & musicals. Not quite as good as a book but the next best thing.


message 1321: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments I feel like making a list of books to get from the library in Dublin, I mean the order and so to take them...but every time i think about it, there is something telling me I am going too far, that it's a bit crazy and it doesn't make sese....


message 1322: by [deleted user] (new)

Jeane are you moving to Dublin or going on holiday?


message 1323: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Moving, wednesday.


message 1324: by [deleted user] (new)

I haven't seen Guys & Dolls in years.

My first two years in College I went to SUU in Cedar City Utah (Home of the Shakespearean Festival in Utah). I was actually initially a theatre Arts Major with emphasis in Dance. I loved watching and being in the plays and musicals. It was great to see so many plays. That college is known for their theatre department.

Their is a small replica of the Globe Theatre where they put on Shakespeare plays. So wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 1325: by Kellie (new)

Kellie (acountkel) | 992 comments Hey everyone.
Thought I would update you on the shuttle launch.
We spent all day at Kennedy Space Center. It's this huge facility with all sorts of exhibits, films etc.
They have a rocket garden which is really cool.
The launch was at 7:55 PM. There was a full moon, a light breeze. It was perfect for a launch. When it happened, the sky glowed a bright orange. It was really cool. Glad to experience this historical event.
I have been off this group for a day and there is no way I'm going to catch up!
We are headed back to Charlotte right now.
It's cloudy and rainy her in Florida.


message 1326: by [deleted user] (new)

Kellie: Sounds really neat. I think that would be fun to see a shuttle launch live!

It's cold here in Chicago. I don't want to go outside. The wind is bitterly cold!


message 1327: by Catamorandi (new)

Catamorandi (wwwgoodreadscomprofilerandi) | 1045 comments We aren't too far away weather wise in Kansas. Didn't you know we give you all of our weather? My sister lives in the Chicago suburbs, and she says that you always get our weather two days later. Hope you enjoy it.


message 1328: by [deleted user] (new)

I am going to babble for you all.

So I just ate cinnamon toast. Life is good. I just love cinnamon toast. I could eat it everyday. Nicely toasted bread. Thick layer of butter covered in tons of cinnamon & sugar. Who could ask for more??


message 1329: by [deleted user] (new)

Operandi: My folks live in the Rockies when they get 1-2' of snow I know we are going to get 2-6" of snow. I'll have to update you because I bet you get a little bit bit more snow. I think it dumps on it's way east.


message 1330: by Darla (new)

Darla (sylvanfox) | 573 comments Fiona -- My grandmother has always said that she wants to be cremated... Her sister (who has passed) could never understand why. Finally my grandmother said, "I don't want people filing past me in a coffin saying, 'she looks good'. No I don't look good, I'm dead!"

She's a feisty little old bird :)


message 1331: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) How amazing to see a rocket launch. I bet it was incredibly noisy.

Jeane - are you a good packer? Do you have a lot of stuff? I've never been to Dublin but then I never go anywhere it might be cold.

Guys and Dolls, all Damon Runyan really, is a fantastic book. Its all written in the present tense and reads wonderfully. I'd love to see the musical. When we come to London every year we always go to see a play or something. This year we went to Covent Garden to see the Chinese National Ballet do Swan Lake.


message 1332: by [deleted user] (new)

I haven't seen Swan Lake in years. I so need to go to the ballet.

My daughter however is wrapping up Amadeus. They will be doing Sweeney Todd in January. I am so glad that my daughter loves the theatre! There is nothing like being backstage helping or in the middle of all the action.

Though it's very nice to sit and enjoy.

I am very excited because in December I am taking all my kids to see Wicked. It will be my second time seeing it. I am so excited. It is an amazing musical. The sets/costumes/music! Wow!!!!!!!!!

I love the live theatre!


message 1333: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Petra - That story about your mom on her wedding night was a jaw dropper. You could base an entire novel on that, I bet.

Our bodies are vehicles, I believe, Fiona, and I think I'm stuck in a Yugo ATM.

And (sorry guys), all this talk about the pill /menopause, etc.... My GYN wanted to put me ON the pill because of premenopause. Of course, due to bad experiences w/various prescription drugs, I am into only natural / bio-identical types of hormones, so I nixed it.

But isn't that weird? I've been off the P for about 7 years due to my husband took care of that situation, thank you very much. (Least he could do, really, after the fun of pregnancy and childbirth, but some won't, so I'm glad he did!)

Weird weird weird. Wished I understood the whole hormonal thing a lot better. It's tough when you feel like you have to be your own Dr. because you don't just want to be running and filling every prescription they want to throw at you.


message 1334: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) They don't make them anymore. Think Econobox that barely goes, always breaking down, oh and not the most attractive thing in the garage either.

:/


message 1335: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (thenightowl) Fiona, I would have to kill my family if they start calling me Cissy. It's bad enough they use to tease me and say the mail man dropped me off. =/

Laura, when my mom actually went through menopause she resisted her doctor everytime he suggested that she get on hormones. During and even years later after going through it she is fine. Sometimes it is better to go the natural route instead of taking medications that can have side effects.




message 1336: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Thank you Jackie!

The problem is I went to the GYN because I'm having lots of yucky symptoms, mostly emotional and sleep-related, which are no fun for me or my family.

But the natural progesterone cream I was taking is helping, I just needed to take 2x - 3x as much. Things are starting to even out now, a huge relief.


message 1337: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) I want to be buried at sea. I want to carried out sewn into an old sail on a big old three-master schooner and dropped off a couple of miles from shore with the exact co-ordinates known. Then I want a bench put either in the Botanical Gardens or on one of the many beautiful look-out points on the island some of which have telescopes. On the bench will be a little brass plate with my details and co-ordinates of burial. It would be cool to think of someone focusing the telescope on the bit of ocean I was dropped in. Also it would avoid the huge cost of a funeral.

I had a friend, an old man, who died and was buried at sea here. The problem was the person who arranged the burial was a beneficiary of the will and ummmm forgot to get a death certificate first :-)

(It was ok though as Harry died in hospital).


message 1338: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) That clip's cute, Fiona!

Econobox is like a really teeny NOT luxury car. The basics only, nothing fancy or attractive.

"It's not MY bra!"


message 1339: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) I like that idea Petra! Kind of romantic somehow.


message 1340: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Maybe an eagle would carry you away in his talons, and you could experience life inside an eagle.

Looking thru the eyes of an eagle, Fiona!

(we are a weird bunch aren't we?)


message 1341: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) "Fancied" being eaten by a snake Fiona? Have you been reading too many HP books?


message 1342: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) yeah, I think they're just ghastly. Always have thought that. Really want to remember the person as they were, not that mummy in the box.

Neat idea, I like the burial at sea more & more the more I think abt it.


message 1343: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) I saw a snake (dead) in the Amazon that was at least 45' long - it was all the way from the ground up a tree over the top and down to the ground again. I think it was longer than in the record books and was huge around, certainly big enough to swallow a person, Fiona.

(The water level varies about 40' in the Amazon so that trees are more or less submerged for a period of the year and that was when it probably died).


message 1344: by Kellie (new)

Kellie (acountkel) | 992 comments The shuttle take off was not as loud as I thought it would be.
My husband said it was a lot quieter than last year. (he saw it during the day)
Maybe because it was at night? The air was thicker? No clue.

It's raining here in Georgia. Isn't that a song?
We are somewher in the middle on 95N
This is one of the most boring high ways. Glad I had my book with me.
I should have brought my book yesterday. We were there all day. I could have read a bit.
Was thinking about it all day. It's like an addiction. When can I get back to my book?


message 1345: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) My husband was just reading that book (Stiff). He didn't like it tho, as he wasn't looking for the humor. He'd really like to be a CSI-type detective, so he's always reading books about forensics and dead bodies.

Glad you got to see the shuttle Kellie!

It's good you're not scared of death, Fiona. I think everyone would prob. like to attain that goal. (wish I could)


message 1346: by Laura (new)

Laura (apenandzen) Do you want non-fiction, Fiona?

(My husband just told me he doesn't remember the titles of books he's read. So frustrating!)


message 1347: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) I kinda liked Stiff but there was too much about Mary Roach when it should all have been about the subject. Laura - I have a bookshelf called Death I think, as I like books on forensics and dead bodies too.

Kellie - its a Randy Crawford song. http://www.actionext.com/names_r/rand...


message 1348: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments I hope my ashes will be going over The North Sea or preferably in Italy, here in Tredozio or on a certain mountain in Varese. Not long ago my boyfriend found out I don't want to be buried and he was suprised. When i told him what I want to happen, he said something like 'can I at least keep something of it in a urn with me?'. Sometimes he does suprises me with his tenderness!!!!

Don't feel well and my neck and shoulders feel completely stressed....


Yes Petra I am a good packer. Have too much experience with it. The only time it didn't go too well was when leaving London. My boyfriend left sooner, a week and I was going to go first to Belgium and a couple of day later o him. He left so much stuff in the flat and of course jsut took care of his stuff. But there were some things that i felt bad leaving behind, even if it were things of him, especially a frame I gave to him when we were in Nottingham, that I bought a huge piece of luggage so I could put in the frame and everything pllus my normal bag and hand luggage. Was so glad a friend helped me to go to the Eurostar! It must have looked unbelievable. Now I am actually ready since a week but my boyfriend doesn't want me to pack yet so I do parts of it without him noticing....He didn't start yet at all.... You know just to go a week on holiday to his place in Italy, he starts preparing his bag in the morning and in the evening he is still busy!!!!! I do it in half an hour! I also pack really light for holidays. Normally I only have a small bag for on my back, kind of trekking bag and that's it.


message 1349: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments going to read some more, watch the rest of soccer and ooooh fire place!!!!


message 1350: by [deleted user] (new)

Jackie I had to laugh about the mailman. Because, I have dark brown hair my siblings had blonde hair & people use to ask my mom if I was adopted she would say no she's the mailman's daughter. People would die like OMG but my dad was/is the mailman.
