Please, never apologize... if it weren't for all the advice I got yesterday, I would have gone stark, raving mad.
If any of you showed up at my door and needed anything from me, I would give it to you.
Something has happened throughout the year. You aren't just posters on Free Republic... you are my friends.

To: carton253
We are a great group aren't we? Same thing right back at ya!
To: HairOfTheDog
We are a great group aren't we? Yes, we are.

...I would have gone stark, raving mad. Handing over that little ring to me would solve a lot of that...

That's just beautiful...I feel the same way...sniff...

Thanks everyone. I actually feel like a big weight is lifted off me just
telling someone about this!
Steve and I have a lot going for us, mainly that we are committed to each other thick or thin. It'll actually be easier on me when the kids are grown and gone...I'll just be able to up and go to the store or something when he gets in a funk.
I actually believe that Steve gets mad and has to find a reason...sometimes he can't even find a reason and he's very honest and says that yes, he's mad but he doesn't know why. To his credit, he rarely acts surly around the kids. They are good kids and I think genuinely make him happy. I think I make him happy sometimes, too. But whatever this is inside him has to come out on somebody and it's me. I guess there are worse things than grumpiness to have to live with.

Oh...sorry. Was I typing out loud?

I wanted to chime in on the whole halloween thing!
We had a pretty close-knit street growing up and we knew everyone, and no one was to be avoided. So we were able to go out alone once we were of a reasonable age. I don't remember what that age was, but my brother was older than me anyway, so he would have been with us.
One of the houses on our street turned their whole house into a haunted house that we could go through, ghosts, and I seem to recall spagetti for guts. They did a nice job and no parent was concerned about us going in, and no parents on the street went with the kids unless they were really little. Can you imagine that these days? - Funny thing is, that family didn't give candy, they gave books... If I recall, they were often even Christian-based books like bible picture books for kids. The kids got to choose their own, and there was always a selection of dog or horse stories for me!
But because we had such a nice street, we were a cross-town attraction for trick or treaters like 2J who would travel all over town. We had to buy ALOT of candy.
I never expect any trick or treaters here, (maybe because I have a gate across the driveway that is padlocked? LOL!) But I will go get a few candy bars in case some of my friends stop by with their kids. They probably will, on their way somewhere or another tonight. And since there are only a few, I will buy some nice BIG candy bars.
And I will keep the animals in, horses and cat included. I don't want them out on nights when kids are prone to mischief.

I'm so glad I came to the Hobbit Hole. Like I said once before, I haven't felt so "at home" at FR since I signed up 3 years ago! :)
I can't wait for entmoot!

To: Overtaxed
My English Assignment is to write about your dream job! I am writing that my dream job would be Secretary of State. How about all of you...
To: RMDupree

When I was growing up, Halloween ran from 6:00 until 11:00. No parent ever went with us. We got homemade brownies, cookies, candy apples, etc... and would eat them right there on the spot. I remember the local haunted houses too.
PS - Have you checked out the Dick Francis mysteries yet?
To: ksen
LOL! I think that psychologist that I had the fight with in Sunday School has something...
I always wondered if some kind of seminar we could do together would be a good thing...
To: ksen
If he is like my Dad, as I suspect, Steve would never go to counseling. He is right to be grumpy because ________, and there is nothing wrong with him. Only a person who is not in control of their emotions would go to counseling, and being sullen is not emotional! Right?
To: carton253
How about all of you...Missionary.

I will not be competing with you ladies for Lembas... I could bring some Twinkies! ;~D
To: ksen
I tried that...
Failed miserably. It's a sad story, but very enlightening on how missionaries are trained. (They're not)
