OCD SUPPORT GROUP - SESSION 113

[Marilyn]

For those of you who have never been to the ANN thread, there is a lot of info gathered concerning Clay, sometimes small mentions, links to pictures or videos that you might like,  fan creations, etc.
Its a way of bringing Clay to you even if he is not currently in the public eye. There are also Polls if you like to vote, or notices of appearances.

Frankie is doing a wonderful job gathering news! Philly too- and Lora brings things in also. They are super!

[wvclayfan]

Lindsay - congratulations on your Mountaineers winning! I still haven't gotten to see the Kansas final score - I know Meesa was watching - it was a good, close game, but i just didn't get to see the end!

Thanks! The girls are HOT this year. They'll probably make the NCAA tournament. . The guys play at Pitt tonight. They desperately need to win this one if they want ANY chance making the tourney. Since Comcast doesn't carry ESPNU, I don't even get to watch it ... just listen. Actually, it's probably for the better.

Meesa - Kansas is great this year! I hope they go far in the post-season.

Woody - When I could never find the time to exercise, my mom told me, "You have to make it a priority." Good luck finding the time! It's tough.

Randy's parents are coming to visit tomorrow so I need to do some tidying up before I head back to work. See you all later!

[Glory]

                         WELL I AM OFF TO WORK SEE YA LATER HAVE A GOOD DAY.

[fhmmany2]

Marilyn - doing the ANN is fun - I've been to lots of Clay sites that I never knew existed. I do not know how Deanna did it alone every day for three years - she deserves a lot of  . I'm happy that she is letting some of us help her now.

Lindsay - womens' basketball - even at the high school level - is just as popular down here as mens' basketball - (sometimes even more popular). Our high school state playoffs are going on here now - there are 7 little towns and high schools in our Parish - and every one of the girls' teams made the play-offs! (There was an article recently in the New York Times about Sabine Parish Basketball - it is a way of life here - everything shuts down in each little town  when there is a game!  )

Happy pizza baking, Evelyn!

It's warm enough to work outside now - see all of you this evening! 

[lorraine]

Prissy - I am in a slow mode these last couple of days.  I think it has something to do with the weather.  Have a good day.

Evelyn - I don't think the weatherman even know the weather.   

Frankie - You are making me jealous again.  Warm enough to go outside sounds really good to me right about now.

[lorraine]

                         WELL I AM OFF TO WORK SEE YA LATER HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Have  a good day Miss Glory.  See you tonight when we get together to get our jammies on.

Good late morning/afternoon everyone,

I hope all of you had a nice weekend. All I can say with mine is “Calgon take me away!”
Saturday, I had a full house. It seems that every one of my husband’s family who live within an hour or two from us were visiting. Only one called to let us know she and her husband are coming. The rest just drop in without prior notice. If I cannot change these people then I will have to change….meaning that if I’m home I won’t be answering to any one knocking or ringing my doorbell. At this point, I really don’t care anymore.


Are you all ready to hear the stupid thing that I did Saturday? Well, my front room was full of people, I was in the kitchen warming a few pizzas that we ordered, but didn’t get to eat right away because everybody was busy conversing with one another. The oven caught on fire and I was in a panic. Now, when I get panicky, I tend to forget English and start talking in my native language, here I am screaming “sunog,” family members didn’t have a clue what I was saying but come to the kitchen to investigate, when they saw that the stove was on fire, they started to panic as well. BIL save us by grabbing the fire extinguisher and aim for the stove. For a minute or two, I could not see anything, when I finally able to see the room, all I can see are dust or ashes all over my kitchen, the dining room and even in the living room. I got plenty of help cleaning the ashes throughout the house. After we clean up, we all sat down and started laughing.


MIL plans to leave early Wednesday. Today they are visiting a distant cousin who is very ill. I believe she (the cousin) has cancer. They should be back before dark as my father in law hates driving during the night. Hubby told me this morning that as long as his bro and nephew are with us his mom might visit unannounced often. I told him that he had better tell her to start using the phone or she will have to stand by the door until her son comes home from work. Speaking of my BIL, something is going on with him and his wife, I don’t know what it is yet but I’m sure I will find out soon enough. Thanks everyone for letting me vent.


I didn’t get to read the back pages, so I hope everyone is having a nice day. I know that some of you are experiencing some bad weather – be careful out there and stay warm.


  Tiffany thanks for the summaries.


  Linda, Lorraine and Tammy – I hope the three of you are having a nice day.


  Janet, Pepe, Prissy, Woody, Glory, Krista, Evelyn, Lora, Heather, Lori, Lindsay, Boca, Meesa, Bozena, Marilyn, Sasha, Frankie, Sara, AC, JoAnn, Angela, Cindy, Dudley, and the rest. I cannot wait to get back here and converse with all of you on a regular basis.

Hugs to all,

Lolita

[Spikee]

everyone

Is anyone here going to watch 'So You Think You Are Smarter Than A 5th Grader'?  Sounds like it will be pretty funny.  It is on right after AI tonight.  Think I might check it out.   

[fantasy]

Good afternoon. I have a meeting this afternoon.  It is still beautiful here. I just got back from lunch where I walked around the indoor track. Even though it is gorgeous outside, the inside is air conditioned. 

Frankie, thank you for all you do with ANN. It is a great place to visit and find out info about Clay from all over. I know it is a lot of work.    And to Deanna and everyone who contributes. 

Hi Rainey, Lolita, Prissy, Evelyn, Marilyn, Linds, Glory, Janet, and anyone I don't mean to leave out. 

[lorraine]

Lolita - welcome back.   I had a feeling the company was keeping you away.  I hope you don't mind but you have made my day with that fire story as long as everyone is okay.   How about "Clay take you away" instead of calgon.

Krista - Keep up the good work with walking.  I cannot wait until the weather is warmer and it stays lighter longer and get some nice fresh Clay, I mean air.

Spikee - hey there stranger.  I don't know if I will watch that show.  Lately I have had a hard time staying awake for very much.  I even fell asleep before "24" last night.   now that tells you something.

[CT loves Clay]

I didn't think I would make it here today, but it will be fast!

Frankie, thanks for the info on Lolita.  I thought that was the case.  That put girl sure has a lot of company.  I bet she misses us like crazy; well, the site, not me.   You are doing the news and I haven't even been there lately.  You would do a great job with anything!!   80 degrees!   You come right here with that now (please!)

Lorraine,  I did that when the kids were young; took them to school in my bathroom and the busdriver got out that was in front of me and came to my window to tell me something.  It never fails.  Did you ever ask your co-worker if those ladies needed work?

Charlene!!!!!!!! so glad to see that you are feeling better and can join us again.   We missed you.

Glory, I think his story is on TV tonight too.   How sad.  His wife made a comment that all she hoped was that he still loved her.  That was one of the things from the preview of the show.

Spikee and Happy, great pictures.  Spikee, I still think we could be sisters.   Happy could have two of us to put of with.   Okay, cousins.   Cindy must have had a great time with you once again.

Marilyn, I know how you feel.  This weather has been here long enough.   Keep those spirts up.  Yeah, up in the cupboard!!

[CT loves Clay]

Lolita, there you are!  OMG, you poor girl!  I think you have too many people there and need a rest.   I just told Frankie you must miss the OCD.  We can all vent here!  I can just picture the smoke.   So, what did you eat after that.   Oh, man, I would go nuts if my MIL came unannounced like that.   Well, I mean years ago.  Now, she is 98 and doesn't get here unless we bring her, but that is rude to do to you.   Let us talk to her for you!   Great to see you.

Spikee, oh that looked kind of good.  I doubt if I will even pass the 5th graders now.  My brain feels lost right now.      I would like to see the Bob Woodruff story tonight though.  Did you see Oprah's show last night about the school she opened in Africa.  I felt so happy for those girls.  What a life they had.   Most didn't even have a bed or utilities.  Oprah said she will pay for their university choice anywhere in the world too.

Fantasy, hi there!!!  Good that you got that walk.   I haven't had time for anything, so I won't even look at my scale in the face!  Walking is the best thing anyone can do for their health I think; well, that and decent eating.   Don't get old like me, Kris.

Tammy, how did things work out with Christopher's car?  I probably missed a post from the last section.   

Angela, thank you for asking about mom.   I just keep trying.   

Our dinky newspaper, The Middletown Press, has a section on celebrity news.  All of a sudden I see Clay's picture.  It just read that Jodi Foster, Clay Aiken and someone else said people should respect their privacy, but the paper said that isn't going to happen!!!  What the heck did they have to bring that up for.  He isn't even appearing anywhere.  I was surprised to see that.

[CT loves Clay]

Well, I know I didn't mention a lot of you, but think of you all daily.  I have to run, as usual.  Keep me posted  please.

Lorraine, I met to ask you.  You left your crockpot on all day?  What did you cook?

[lorraine]

Well, I know I didn't mention a lot of you, but think of you all daily.  I have to run, as usual.  Keep me posted  please.

Lorraine, I met to ask you.  You left your crockpot on all day?  What did you cook?

spareribs.  Very small ones so hope they don't burn away.

[lorraine]

Linda - I swear I told you.  Yes I asked Cheryl but the one lady that is very dependable has a full-time job as well as taking care of her mom and the other one she wouldn't put her on your mom for sure.  Very undependable.   Why oh why does Clay's name come up in the weirdest of places.  Sure they won't advertise when he is touring but oh yea they will say stupid stuff like that.   Speaking of Clay, I need to put in for a vacation but when.  No tour being announced yet. boy thank God I only have 45 minutes to go I am really in a good mood.

[lorraine]

LINDA - WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU OFF TO NOW.  DON'T FORGET TO STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES.

How much more handsome can he get! I cant wait to find out more tour information for the summer. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week!
Diana

[Prissy]

Good Afternoon!

Lolita,
I have missed your posting.  It sounds like you have had quite a lot of Hubby's relatives around.  I don't understand people not calling before they come over and especially when they come to stay for a while!!

I had a small fire in the oven when the wooden toothpick I was using to hold the bacon around the steak caught fire. Luckily, the it was small and didn't burn long. 

I think you and hubby should start dropping in on these relatives that drop in on you!!


Lorraine,
It is gorgeous here today.  You could certainly walk outside!  I see Krista chose to walk inside where there is air conditioning! 

Frankie,
I do not go to the ANN very often.  I will have to start checking it out.  My tulips are not lookiing very good.  I'm araid they are not going to come up.   I did plant them in a pot a few weeks ago and nothing is bothering them.  Maybe I waited too late.

Spikee,
I told Happy, but I'll tell you, too, I really liked your pictures with Cindy!  I may check out that TV show.   I'm also remembering when I tried to help granddaughter Ashley with her 5th Grade math!! 

Linda,
I hope you find someone to help with your mom.  Glad to see you checking in.


Hello to everyone else joining in!

Have a good day.
Hugs,
Prissy

[lolita]

While MIL is away, I shall play. 

Lorraine, I like your idea better than mine. I wish Clay could take me away.


Linda, I’ve been told that MIL is too old to change her ways, I guess that means I have to put up with unannounced visit plus a whole lot more. I guess I am now realizing that when I married my husband, I married the rest of his family. My husband is very lucky, as he does not have to put up with any of my relatives. We had Chinese take out – for me it was better than pizza.


Jan, I have watched “Everybody loves Raymond,” but not all the time, yes my husband’s family are dysfunctional as well. No one says anything to my MIL, all her three sons seems terrified of her. Yes, I could have used Evelyn’s pizza and cookies last Saturday.


Prissy, I love your idea, when my husband retires; we will start dropping from one relatives to another. That should be fun. The cheese on the pizza probably licked down to the fire and that might have been the reason for the fire. Congrats on the gorgeous weather, it’s raining in my area, and it is cold.


  Hello Krista and Spikee.

Hugs to all,

Lolita
