Special the Sandy stuff does remind me of a movie/song back in the mid '70's ... Sandy Girl or something like that ... or isn't that the Sandy you mean :^0 ;)

Where they relaxing weeks or was it to chilly ;)

by michael jay

2 weeks of rest and relaxation, nothing to do nowhere to go, unless of course you wanted to.

Most importantly time with my Mother and family, the most important parts of my life.

I will send some snappies.

Love
Hugs

by shellbot

The hugs have kept going in my absence :)

Well, GG..the "person" is back! And to think..I'm seriously glad I sent you a postcard now..just to rub it in :) And do not ever mention the word sangria around me again.. < aching head >

Since MJ already gave warm sandy hugs.. I'll give:

sunny sea breeze ((((((((((hugs)))))))))

Ugh...a week of above 35C weather, back to cold wind and rain in Dublin.. < not thinking nice thoughts >

Anywho's.had a good time and a good laugh with the child..which reminds me..oh boy..she is not a child anymore..weird..but awkward at times.. sigh.

Welcome back, Shell :)

by purpleskys

((((((((((((((welcome back hugs)))))))))))))))))from me too Shell...glad you had a great trip...isn't it funny how you turn around one day and realize that they really are grown up....sigh...

by nicknielsen

I'll take those warm sandy sunny sea breeze ((((((((((hugs))))))))) and raise you a couple more warm sandy sunny sea breeze ((((((((((hugs))))))))).

Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Now, it's your Monday! (Don't you just love the voice of sweetness and light?)

by jck

All is sort of well with me (details available by email lol)
Nothing new really interesting...still Me and Oz taking on the world, etc. :^0

One of these days, I am supposed to go with my friend Kev (who is from England) to Majorca. He holidays there about once a year, and claims it to be the best spot on Earth.

I don't know, though. As much as people complain about Ireland's rain, I'd much rather be there than here where the rain comes in foot measurements and with 50-120 mph winds :)

Glad to see you back safe and sound :)

(((((((((((((((((((((((( extra post-holiday hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))

by shellbot

well..when you get rain day after day ..and no sun..just grey cloud..you just start to go insane after a while..
(explains something about me doesn't it??) :D

by jck

I, on the other hand, was insane before I came to Florida. It just made it worse.

I know there are times when we get rain for weeks. And usually, we get a shower every day between 2pm and 6pm.

I haven't seen Ireland when it was really rainy. My first trip it rained once on me in 10 days and barely snowed at Mitchelstown one day.

I guess I should move over there. Maybe God puts sunshine over me when I'm there :^0

by oz_media

First of all (hug).
I won't ((((HUG)))) you too hard though, as I hugged a nephew a few weeks back and, ignoring my hugging strength, actually hurt the little guy (me felt REEEEEALLY bad!).

But I thought that you could take a hug joke perhaps, blend a yuk and a hug?

At a local college dance, a guy from America asked the girl from Sweden to dance.

While they were dancing, he gives her a little squeeze, and says, "In America, we call this a hug".

She replies, "Yaah, in Sveden, we call it a hug too."

A little later, he gives her a peck on the cheek, and says, "In America, we call this a kiss".

She replies, "Yaah, in Sveden, we call it a kiss too."

Towards the end of the night, and a lot of drinks later, he takes her out on the campus lawn, and proceeds to have sex with her, and says, "In America, we call this a grass sandwich".

She says, "Yaaah in Sveden, we call it a grass sandwich too, but we usually put more meat in it."

by oz_media

I figured you wouldn't get mad at my insensitive joke if I posted a cute kitty hug picture, and yes it is a damn cute one too!

Hope things look better down the road for you, hugs!!. OM

by jck

I don't wanna grow up...I'm a...drinks r us kid! yeah! drinks!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( hugs all around ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I need a drink right now. :^0

by jck

It is *always* beer thirty somewhere on the Earth and therefore, always a good time for a Guinness ;)

Too bad I can't be there in Ireland. If so, I'd be buying pints. :)

Rain or no rain :^0

by shellbot

yup *sigh*
she's way way way grown up...making me feel old :(
still, we had lots of giggle fits and chats..so that was good..and its an eye opened to talk to your *baby* about big girl stuff... eeeeeks

by shellbot

me sane... thats a good one :)
2 summers ago we had, i kid you not..not 1 word of a lie... over 40 days of rain in july/aug..i don't mean 40 days OVER the summer, i mean 40 continual days together..

enough to break the last threads of sanity

by jck

It would take brief stops, but I think it was 2000 or 2001 when I think we didn't get a dry day from July to about October. And when we got tropical systems, it would end up being sometimes 2-4 feet of rain in a day.

Maybe I've just been lucky on my trips there.

Still wish I could live there. I loved being places there, whether it was Dublin or Donegal Town.

by jck

you get some

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( get feeling better hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

(that way we can have drinks when I do finally make it over there :^0 )

:D

by oz_media

You can put forth a total pig, but if I like her hair I find her hard to resist. I'm into girls that look like they belong in a shampoo commercial.

by tig2

We try very hard to keep things light but that isn't always an easy task. There are days when a hug would be a painful touch and all I want to do is scream- not considered acceptable in polite company.

So far, so as good as we can ask for under the circumstances. Even when I have to wait until my mindset is better, I store up the hugs. I know that I will use them later if I can't bear them now.

Seeing this thread reminds me- much like the Bridge does- that we are not alone and that we are loved.

by hal 9000

I haven't forgotten you even though I can not be around much at the moment.

All the best

Today is one of those days when it is just all too freaking hard and I am pretty sure I am going out of my mind.

No way to make that look pretty, is there?

by nicknielsen

And while you were at the beach, I got a paid weekend in Atlanta!

In Marietta tonight, back to SC tomorrow, after a stop in Lilburn. I'll honk and wave on my way by... ;p

by michael jay

my actual address is in Lilburn.

Oh, Happy Birthday to you. Shell said she would post Birthday wishes to you, I will find it soon I hope.

by jck

Are you saying you don't want my empathy hugs?

Gosh. :(

oh heck!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

There's more for ya, just in case! :D

by shellbot

Its been a good day :x .. so I feel like passing out hugs

by jck

Me hugging ANY of you is sexual harassment in the workplace, and will not be tolerated.

I am sorry.

However, you ladies can get hugs from me in person anytime :^0 ]:)

by jck

The workplace in the United States has now become so sensitive that even people who have been friends for 40 years, grew up together as kids, went to school all their lives, had kids that played together, etc...can't even hug because of fear that it will "harass" someone else.

I tell you. The day that my best friend comes to my office, or better yet my niece, and I can't hug em cause it is "harassing"...let them fire me.

No one has a right to assume I am a sicko or pervert in the workplace either. To assume I am some kinda of indigent and mentally uncouth person of lowly conduct is an assault against my good moral being and hostile toward me.

God, I'm glad I have attorneys on retainer now.

by shellbot

I like where I am working right now is that there is none of that BS.

In fact, I would say the vast majority of the women in my office are the instigaters of a lot of inapropriate talk, jokes, ect. Basically, we are filthy...

Never mind hugging...I've seen peoples butts grabbed (as a joke) and everyone just has a good laugh about it.

Its great

by jck

We have edgy jokes and all here, but the fact that ANY kind of touching is "inappropriate"...and even getting too close even when all you are doing is helping that person with something is "inappropriate conduct".

It makes me want to puke. What happened to "Equal Justice Under Law" and "Innocent until proven guilty"?

The criminal justice system in America is so messed up.

I spent three hours this morning at the store on Five Forks Trickum and two hours yesterday morning at the store on Lawrenceville highway.

Maybe you know. Beaver Ruin Road. Who did what to that poor beaver??

by nicknielsen

You have the right to eat whatever you like...unless it offends somebody.

You have the right to say whatever you like...unless it offends somebody.

You have the right to do whatever you like...unless it offends somebody.

You have the right to exist...even if it offends somebody.

You do not have the right to be offended if somebody else takes offense first.

edit: Moral of the story? Be offensive. F*ck'em if they can't take a joke!

by nicknielsen

1. Be offended that they are offended.

2. Remember that half the population is dumber than average...and the average has been falling.

I prefer the latter...

by rob mekel

all the pleasures and relaxations are already outa you're system ?:|

Issue yourself a letter of marque.

On its face it says:

by nicknielsen

Drove home from Myrtle Beach and took the afternoon off (47 hours this week already), then got paged and drove back to MB this evening.

From Rocky. I'm told that it's hot in Brissy at the moment but here at Turkey Beach it's just boring with a slow limited Internet connection. :(

Hopefully I'll be home early next week and back to normal. The daily trips to Rocky are a killer though. ;)
