Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Grinity - OT meanderings

No worries, Grinity, my friend. I was actually just looking for a reason to use the red face!

Enjoy your peace and quiet. It will be short-lived, I'm sure!

Wow - Folks! I just got back form an African Drumming Class in my little town, and struck up a conversation with a woman who lives around the corner from me, and I could 'just tell' that she's 'one of us.' Can you believe it? Yippee!

Insane or from a GT family?

Or both!?

<tee-hee-hee>

Grinity, that is so cool!!

So how could you tell, Grinity? What was the tip-off?

maybe she said "we are hugh"

Ha! Love the ST reference, St. Pauli!

Mine will be gone for four weeks! And we are also looking at it as a kind of a trial time re:boarding school, although lately I am not so amused by the possibility anymore.
Those camps right now are different, with cell phones and ability to talk to your kid at almost any time (if they pick up that is)
Ghost keeps talking about food (GREAT, GREAT, MOM - IT IS CATERING!!!) and keeps sending me pictures of their buffet table. Oh, those hungry teens...

I must have missed this thread--made me smile now to read posts. Grinity, hope your ankle is healing (a good excuse to catch up on reading and relax a little--though it sounds like you're still busy busy). One of my favorite memories of my mom was when I just started working and went to Puerto Rico for extended work. My mother had broken her leg and sounded depressed on the phone. So I told her to come use my mostly empty fancy hotel room since I was out all day & she could mend in a nice setting. She came down and I would help her to the poolside each morning with her books, and collect her in the afternoons. One afternoon I came back and it was pouring rain. I panicked because I could not find her and asked the hotel staff if they had seen a women with a cast on her leg. They told me she was tucked under the far end of the pool canopy & there I found her surrounded by a dozen Marines, laughing and sipping margaritas (she was an ex-Marine). They carried her there when the rain started. I should have known my mom was resourceful enough to handle a little precipitation.

Ah, another mom crush for me! (Or did I already have one on your mom, cym? It seems like I might have already discovered her from one of your past posts...)

Anyway, I love a woman who manages to surround herself with Marines and margaritas, regardless of the circumstances!
