OCD SUPPORT GROUP - SESSION 114

[fantasy]

Hello.  I am halfway through the big mailout and hope to have it out by tomorrow. 
I read the People article and am super excited about a new CD.  Let's hope "pretty soon" is really pretty soon. 
We have a kickball game this afternoon, which will be fun if it doesn't rain and the field has dried out from this weekend's rain.

Hi Rainey, Glory, Linda, Michelle, Evelyn, Janet, Jerry, Woody, Boca, Frankie and all. 

[Prissy]

GOOD AFTERNOON!

I have been doing laundry and going through Carol's things again.  Jana, her daughter, brought a couple of boxes and a stack of cards that you all had sent.

Carol received so many cards from you all and several from many of you.  I know they meant a lot to her.  I have a box of magazines and some articles that I may pass on to Frankie when I see her at one of the concerts.  I am not collecting magazines anymore and I have most of what Carol had.

It really is eerie, in a way, that Clay is coming to Texas and possibly Oklahoma; two states where Carol lived!! 


Yesterday was a busy day, but today I don't have any pressing engagements so I plan to work around the house and do some planting.  When I started to plant the new plants Sunday, I realized that I still had Dusty Miller and Kale growing in my large concrete pots!  So, now I have to decide what to do with the  new plants or just crowd them in with the other plants!!


Michelle,
Now, stay strong!  You can still be polite and cordial to HB, but keep that resolve to move on.  Enjoy dating the new guy, NGC, and just have fun! 

Cindy,
It's been fun reading your posts and sensing your excitement about moving to NC.  I don't plan to go to a Clay concert in NC this time, but I hope to meet you in person some day!!

Boca,
I believe it is a trend for younger men and older women to get together.  And a difference of a few years is not that bad.  Lots of celebrity women are married to men younger than they are.  I know you just want to see Nikki happy.  I hope she just enjoys dating and doesn't rush into a serious relationship right away.

Frankie,
I need you to make me a schedule so I can accomplish about half of what you do.  You amaze me with how much you get done!!  Will you have room in your vehicle for a box of magazines, etc. from Carol on the Texas trip?  I know, when you give me the pink banana tree, I'll give you the box!!   Maybe, I will have some plants for you, too. 

Janet,
That was a beautiful poem you brought over and posted!  I still think there is a way you can post pictures.  If you have pictures in photobucket, it should work.   What have you tried?

Glory,
You are the last person who needs to lose any weight!!  But I understand that you want to eat healthier.  Skip and I are keeping fruits like oranges, grapes, strawberries, apples, and bananas around.  I am allergic to bananas, but I eat the other fruit.  He needs to watch his sugar, so we don't have a lot of sweets around!  I do still have some chocolate available!   That's an important food group, you know!!

Evelyn,
You are still keeping busy.  I bet Matt will miss you when you start Clay trekking.  I'm looking forward to seeing you in Texas!!
Did you saymore SNOW!!   We are in the 70's, maybe 80's today, but then it's going to drop into the 60's and more rain!  Good for the rain!  It's helping all of the new plantings get started! 

Happy,
I hope you are feeling better soon!

Sasha,
Great Clay pictures, as always!!

Pepe,
How are you today?  Are you seeing signs of spring?  I must tell you and everyone.....


Saturday morning we saw a coyote in our backyard.  This was further back in the yard just before where the woods start.  He looked like a large tan dog.  Skip was excited to see it and hoped it would stay around.  One of our neighbors called and said that Animal Control was going to come out and try to catch it and relocate it in a nonresidential area.  This was the first time we had seen a coyote in our yard!!


I think I posted that I sent my great niece, Taylor, a stuffed bunny for Easter.  My niece, Kristy, said it arrived yesterday and she emailed me some pictures.  She said Taylor kissed the bunny when they got it out of the box!

Hello also to Lorraine, ANGELA, Tammy, Linda, Jan, AC, Shannon, Lolita, Heather, Lora, Lori,  Meesa, Sara, Tiffany, Woody, Jayne, Charlene, Krista, and others checking in!

Have a great day!

Hugs,
Prissy

Boca, Tell Nikki not to worry about a few years, my husband was 9 years younger than me and we where married for 43 years, it never seemed to be an issue.

[corbet]

Cookie, Sorry I outrank you in the age department.  Woody said you would throw  A PIZZA AT ME BUT IF YOUR NAME MEANS YOU ARE A GOOD COOK i DON"T MIND WHAT YOU THROW AT ME!!

[fhmmany2]

 

Back from the nursery - got a flat of plants that I did not need! I still have so many that need my attention in the greenhouse.

Prissy -  don't plant too many things that cannot be protected - it is going to get into the 30s here Saturday night, and I know it will be a lot colder there! I have so many magazines - maybe you can list what Carol had, then we can find other fans to have the ones that I do have. That is what I did with Jan's magazines when she stopped collecting them. She sent them to me, and I found good homes for them! I'll be happy to take Carol's magazines and get them distributed, though! I have some duplicates that I keep thinking I need to give out - no need in them sitting here when somebody could be enjoying them. My Trailblazer is an extended one - three seats - so I have lots of room to travel. I know we will be coming in it, because I also have On Star - wonderful to use in large cities. Amy and I went to our first Clay concert in Houston 3 days after I got the Trailblazer - and we trusted MapQuest and got lost! On Star paid for itself right then - I called and told the lady I was lost, and she said "that's o.k., because I know where you are!  " Something that always makes me feel better when I travel - I'm lost, but there is somebody who is not! 

I'm about to change into garden clothes and get to work - we had such a big lunch that we have agreed that we will not have to cook supper. I'll be watching Idol and the womens' NCAA finals.

Hope you are all having a good afternoon - warm and sunny here - see 'ya later 

EDIT - Prissy - I forgot to say that I love the new pictures of Taylor! Another thing I have to do this week is to get the grandchildrens' Easter baskets from us put together - at least i have everything bought!

  corbet - hope your hand is healing well!

[Bocaqueen]

HI Corbet,

How are you today?  HOw's the booboo? 

The age was NOT an issue for Nikki until her, soon to be EX hubby was 2 and a half years younger and he turned out to be immature.  I will tell her of your wonderful 43 yrs of marriage.  As I stated earlier, everything should be based on the individual.  Thanks for telling me your story 

Frankie...But Mama doesn't OWN a Crock Pot yet.....soon, real soon 
I'm now on getting ready to Mash those Tata's.....any NEW inventions for that process?

Dudley...where the heck are you?  Are you OK?  I haven't evven seen Dudley Emoties lately!

[Bocaqueen]

Corbet....I was the one to warn you of possible flying Pizza's 

Prissy...Are you thinking Demi and Ashton    I wanted to tell you.....even though bananas are very healthy especially for Potassium, they are very high in natural sugar.  So if Skip needs to watch his sugar, maybe he should also take Banana's out of his diet. 

[fhmmany2]

Mama - I have 4 crockpots - all sizes - and so will you, once you have one!

I miss dudley, too - and Bozena - those lurking people! 

[Jan]

JUST LOST A POST INTO CYBER SPACE.
 


THIS IS HOW MY CLAY LOOKS TO ME. I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF HIM LIKE THIS.
WILL NOT COMMENT ON HIS BEARD. BUT LOVE HIM ANYWAY.

CAME TO A DECISION
AFTER MEETING MY ART FRIEND IN D.C. AND LISTENING TO HIS LECTURE AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM AND REALIZING THAT ONE OF MY FRIENDS FINALLY MADE IT. I REALIZED THAT I JUST HAVE NOT BEEN SPENDING THE TIME IT TAKES TO BE WHAT I CALL "A DEDICATED ARTIST" SO I AM GOING TO LESSEN MY POSTS, NOT THAT I HAVE BEEN A REAL GOOD POSTER. I AM GOING TO SPEND MORE TIME IN DOING WHAT I LOVE.

I HAVE A LAPTOP AT HOME, WHICH I USE RARELY SO I WILL TRY TO POST FROM THERE. MY COMPUTER HERE, IN THE STUDIO IS JUST SO EASY TO USE AND THE I LET MY ART SLIP BY.

JUST GOT A MESSAGE THAT 2 OF MY PRINTS ARE BEING SHOWN AT A NEW ART CENTER IN THE ABRUZZI MOUNTAINS IN ITALY. I WAS Pleasantly surprised AND THAT WAS ANOTHER REASON TO GET MY "ARSE" IN GEAR.

FRANKIE
I HAVE SOME MORE PICTURES OF CLAY TO SEND. NOW , BELIEVE ME I AM NOT DESERTING CLAY, I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH, MAYBE I WILL BE ABLE TO DO A BETTER PAINTING OR DRAWINGOF HIM NOW.

PRISSY
WHAT ADORABLE PICTURES. CUTE AS A BUG.

LOVE YOU ALL

JAN

[CT loves Clay]

A Sunny Afternoon to Everyone.  I love seeing that bright spot in the sky!!!


Michelle, stay strong.   Let HB see how it feels to be on the other side of the fence.   He needs a challenge!!

Prissy, I love the pictures of Taylor.  He has the most beautiful blue eyes.  How cute is that picture of Clay popping out of an Easter egg!  Some people are so clever.

Lorraine, I don't have time to get prepared.  I just cook fast lately.   When things get better, I will go back to the crock pot.
My daughter made stew in the crockpot today. 

Boca, Chef mommies are the best.  Younger is good.  My husband is seven years older and sometimes I think he doesn't understand me.   I hate the browning of the cutlets too.  You gotta keep adding the oil!

Hi Fantasy!  What's going on?  How is work.  The day must be just about over.  Have a good evening.

I still don't know what happened with DWTS, but maybe I missed the post.  I don't think so.  Who was good and who wasn't?

[lorraine]

WELL ALMOST THE END TO A BEAUTIFUL DAY.  WELL IT IS GOING TO GET A LOT BETTER WHEN I GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE.

PRISSY - I AM SURE OUR CAROL WILL BE LOOKING DOWN WHEN CLAY COMES TO TEXAS AND SAY "ITS ABOUT TIME MR. AIKEN"

KRISTA - WHEN I READ THAT ABOUT CLAY DOING A NEW ALBUM IT MADE ME VERY HAPPY BUT HOPE THAT JERK (CLIVE DAVIS) IS OUT OF THE PICTURE.

FRANKIE - WOW 4 CROCKPOTS.  SURE WISH WE HAD 4 CLAYS.

BOCA - UNFORTUNATELY IN LIFE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF GARBAGE TO BECOME WHO WE ARE TODAY.  I KNOW JAMIE AND DANNY HAVE BEEN THROUGH HEARTACHE AND THEY HAVE BECOME STRONGER AND WISER FOR IT.

HI CORBET    ALWAYS NICE OF YOU TO VISIT.

WELL MINUTES TO GO.  SEE EVERYONE LATER.

HUGS
RAINEY

[Prissy]

Jan,
Always love to hear about your art work!  Post when you can and keep us up to date on what you are doing! 

Boca,
The doctor said that it was better to eat an orange than have orange juice.  Something about the sugar in fruit is not as bad as refined sugar.  So, I don't know??  But you won't catch me eating bananas!! 
Demi and Ashton,  Sandra Bullock and her hubby, Susan Sarandon and ??,  Sharon Stone and ??,  Madonna and ??, etc. etc.  I think most of the celebrity ladies are with younger men, or at least, quite a few of them!!   Do you think Clay is lookiing for an older woman? 

Lorraine,
Do you think Clay is looking for an older woman??

Corbet,
Hello to you!  It's always good to have a new poster here.  I believe I read you are 83!   I will be 60 the end of April, so you make me feel like a "kid." 

Linda,
Taylor is my great niece;  but I understand with a name like Taylor, it could be a boy!  I also have a great niece named Sydney!!  Someone, maybe Meesa or Jayne, emailed me the Easter Clay last year and I saved it in my photobucket.!!  I hope you are doing well. 


The plants are not going to plant themselves, so, I better get busy!

Hugs,
Prissy

[lorraine]

JAN - YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO AND SOMETIMES WE LET OUR LIFE HERE ON THE OCD TAKE OVER.  YOU GO AND BE AN GREAT ARTIST BUT KEEP IN TOUCH.

LINDA - ONCE THE NICE WEATHER COMES I WILL BE GRILLING OUT A LOT.  I THINK YOU CAN GET TIRED OF TOO MUCH CROCK   WE ALL NEED A LAUGH.

OKAY I AM LEAVING.

HUGS

Lorraine, I like to grill too.   Is it July yet???

Frankie, do you ever stop??  Man, you sure have a lot of energy.   I used to know what that was.

Jan, I would be surprised to think you didn't spend enough time with your art.  You do some beautiful work, but I know how you must feel.  You are the boss.

[wvclayfan]

Interview is set for 8:30 a.m. next Thursday. I was hoping to schedule it for Friday this week, but no such luck. I'll likely be there for 2.5 hours including a 20-minute writing test. I tend to write well under time constraints, so I'm not too worried. Just don't know whether to tell my boss what is up - or just ask for the day off.

Michigan friends ... take care of Coach Beilein. He's a keeper! I hope he can turn the University of Michigan's basketball program around like he did ours.

[CT loves Clay]

Tammy, some day I would love that ring set.  I wonder if they ever go on sale?   What free stuff did you get? 

Lindsay, glad you are feeling better today.

Glory,  when we are used to one weight and size even two pounds can throw us off.  I should be so lucky as to only have to lose 2 pounds though.

AI tonight. 

Off to finish my stuffed peppers.

[corbet]

Sorry Boca, I got mixed up on the flying food I thought it was Woody.Actually I cheated I won"t be 83 until June I can be a young 82 for another 60 days. You know 82 is just a state of mind, some days I feel quite frisky. As my friend always  says we are not old just mature. Boca I sent you a PM today or at least I hope I did.i

[ANGELA]

CORBET, HOW WONDERFUL TO HAVE A NEW MEMBER OF THE OCD--CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING 82 YEARS YOUNG.  HOW MANY CONCERTS HAVE YOU BEEN TO??  WELCOME AGAIN!!!

LINDA, I SENT YOU A PM---LIKE I SAID I WAS MORE THEN HAPPY  TO DO IT FOR YOU LL  YUMMMY STUFFED PEPERS THAT IS ALMOST UP THERE WITH EGGPLANTS FOR ME  --WHEN DO YOU WANT ME OVER TO HELP YOU EAT THEM ??

JAN, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW YOUR PASSION--JUST DON'T FORGET TO DROP IN & PAY US AS MANY VISITS AS YOU CAN. ALSO KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR ARTWORK TOO  .

PRISSY, TAYLOR IS BEAUTIFUL--GOD BLESS HER.

[ACcountryFan]

Good evening everyone! I was at the Billboard charts doing some searching. For those who do not know...

Elliott's CD debuted at #1 on the Independant chart...a collection of CD's released on non-major labels. Elliott's CD is on Hickory. He debuted at #3 on both the Internet and Billboard 200 charts. The trio CD i bought, LAST OF THE BREED, with Willie Nelson/Ray Price/Merle Haggard, debuted at #7 on the Country album chart.

Lorraine: Of course, you and everyone knew i was joking about selling myself since i'm priceless. Well, that's not really true...i am filled of price...Vincent Price movies to be specific.

Jan: I understand what you're saying! I've felt that way often...i've sometimes stepped away from the site and the computer, believe it or not, and focused more time on DVD watching and running around on the weekends.

I head off for work tonight around 9:30. These are our last 2 weeks of 8 hour work nights.

[CT loves Clay]

AC, do you go out at night with a black cape and bite people on the neck???   

Tammy, I just looked at my cellphone.   I will try to get back to you soon.  I am supposed to get my mother to an appointment tomorrow, but something tells me I may not.  I don't know what the weather will be or how she will feel yet; so far, she isn't up to it.

Elliott is doing great.  I thought he would!  Such a nice guy.  Well, Clay is my #1, but I can make room for other men.
