wouldn't you know I would have to have an appointment on the coldest day we have had, and the day there may be something happening at court. I will be late, but I will get here as soon as I can!

Stay warm peeps!

It was minus 1 here when I woke. I can't stand this cold not even for 1 day. Looks like we might hit a high of 20 by Sunday. BRRRR!!!
To top that off I have what seems to be a slight stomach virus and I have to go to work. Just hope it doesn't get worse b/c there is one person out in our department with a stomach bug and he has been out all week.
The car, if it even starts, will have to be warmed up for a least 15 minutes before I jump in it and it still won't be warm enough for me.
So, lets see what happens in court today. I am not holding my breath. To many dirty tricks keep happening. I will keep my expectations lows and be surprised if we get a full day of court and see if there is any progress made.

In hole "mole traps" or gopher bombs. Personally, I like the bombs, well it's more of a gas, but it kills them underground and no bodies to dispose of.

Dmacky,......what can I say? Are you going through this under a Dr.'s care or on your own? Sometimes even the strong need a bit of help.
You're hitting that anniversary date, so don't despair, it's normal. It also gives you an opportunity to let out some more grief, which we tend to stuff over the year when we get hit with a sudden but fleeting sadness. Take it as an opportunity. Look at it as an opportunity. Use it as a day to embrace all the wonderful things you and your husband shared. Talk to him, heck, get mad at him if you feel like it! Just don't stuff your feelings.
When my dad passed this passed year, I spent time talking to him while I worked out........and we had "issues"! My BF would say "Hey, Bernina, are you swearing at me?!?!?!" "Nope, Don, just working out some stuff with my dad!" Saying things out loud seem to be the ticket for me, instead of repeatedly internalizing, It becomes a crazy vortex I get sucked into.

Hang in there, Kiddo! Take it slow and be GOOD to yourself. You're among friends!

Good advice on both counts.

Ive heard the smoke gas bombs are good to use too. Just dont breathe in the smoke when setting them off. I havent tried them but have tried traps and Ive never had much luck with traps and once we got a cat he has had a field day with the moles. Ive kind of given up trying to control the moles because my yard is infested with them too. Even though I get lots of holes the natural rains and movements of the ground cover them up until they dig new holes in new spots. Ive kind of gotten use to the mole holes and have come to expect them. Certain times of the year the holes seem worse than other times.
They are so cute anyway with their long snout :)

Good advice too on talking out loud. That works for me too. I kind of mumble out loud when venting about things that upset me. It seems to work for me too. I try to remember it is not the persons fault of course and so I just talk to them and mumble to them when I need to talk with them.

I need some help friends. I have MOLE holes and underground tracks all over my front yard, that you see really good with frost on the ground. They have tore my yard up.
What do I do ? Anyone have any tips?

I have been really depressed lately. It's coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the passing of my husband, and I miss him so bad. My kids are older now and I find myself alone a lot. Thank goodness for you guys. :heart:

PS ~ My friend Spellbound, I owe you a IM. Please don't take it personal, as I have barely been able to think these days. I do read here and it helps. Hugs to all of you :grouphug:


Anniversaries are always tough, and I am not sure that ever change. I consider that a blessing, in that if I ever forgot to remember my son? I would be devastated.
It's been 8 years and I still cry. For me, grief is like standing in the surf along the shore... when those big waves come along and knock me off my feet, I try to relax and roll with it even though my first instinct is to to fight it.

Things that have helped me:
  • Zumba - its how I tap into the JOY, and believe me, I forgot what JOY felt like for a very long time
  • the Websleuths community: Caylee, Zahra, Haleigh, and Susan Powell cases kept me going - I suppose the sense of loss was the common ground but the community kept me going
  • meeting my husband out in BF west texas 7 years ago - he was my driller and we got stuck on a job together for 6 weeks installing water wells - he is my ROCK
  • finally accepting after about 5 years that I would never be the person I was/have the life I had before I lost Kyle, and accepting that (that one was HUGE)
  • listening to the PTSD 'experts' in the JA trial a couple of months ago (I was gone a long time after I first came here and have been catching up on this case)
  • getting to mentor the 25yo-ish entry level staff - office mom
  • Zumba - yeah it makes the list twice

Hang in there, Dmacky. So sorry for your loss. :hug:

Hi Spellbound,
it is zero here and I won't even discuss the windchill. I too have an appointment at the exact time court begins. The way JSS is running the courtroom however, we may not miss a thing. Hopefully, we can both come home to good news. :)

19 degrees here tonight .... be sure to drip your faucets!

Open the cabinet doors under sinks to let heat get in there...

I know. I learned that from being here! I didn't want to toss the seeds in the yard pick-up, so they are drying out in a large paper bag. Maybe that nursery will take my leftovers. The plants are gorgeous!



BBM
In Tennessee??? Isn't it supposed to be warmer there? Egads. It is 1 degree here this morning. Brutal with the wind.

Yep in Tennessee! Last year we had one night it was -7 degrees. Also last year parts of Florida was below freezing, and many of the tropical plants and trees died. My MIL was on a cruise, and it got so cold (and everyone had summer clothing), that the cruise ship had to stop somewhere to let everyone buy jackets.
 
  • #828
nope, those folks scare me!

I like to go over to the "other thread" to get my "punishment" on occasion and then come crawling back to sidebar :)

If you were referring to the "site we dont usually discuss", yeah I never go over there either. Not even to read. I tried once and that was enough. LOL
 
  • #829
Good Morning all. At work but will check in. I am really busy at work too, bummer.

5 degrees this morning while I was driving to work. Thank goodness for heated seats and heated steering wheel.
Of all days, my coffee maker died and it is a percolator.

Get the aspirin ready, probably some good junk food and be prepared for another frustrating as heck day.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi, we have -3 in Ohio right now. Bitter cold, schools closed.
 
  • #831
Good morning!
You all are invited to AZ. We have been in the 70's and next week the 60's. I can't complain. The nights can be cold but that is okay.

I have lived in the cold. Never again.

Just let me know your arrival date.

Dmacky I am so sorry you are having such a bad time. My prayers are with you.

Bodney- Now a request for stay has been filed and it hasn't been granted. #jodiarias #3tvarias

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 40s41 seconds agoPhoenix, AZ
Bodney is very firm while arguing. Defense didn't file a special action, they didn't put anything in writing to us #jodiarias #3tvarias

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 36s37 seconds agoPhoenix, AZ
They sat on their hands until Monday. Now it's Thursday. The cost to the press and public keep rising. #jodiarias #3tvarias

Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 39s39 seconds ago
Bodney is arguing well for the release of #jodiArias transcript from her secret testimony

Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 23s24 seconds ago
Bodney points out that Supreme Court hasn't issued a stay, no one filed an objection to the request, so Crt App order stands #JodiArias

Everything Bodney is saying is true and valid, however, I doubt Judge Stephens will grant the motion and release the transcript #jodiarias

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 42s43 seconds agoPhoenix, AZ
Bodney- The court of appeals said we could see this transcript. #jodiarias #3tvarias

Nurmi says the media is ignorant in these matters and it's a death penalty case. #jodiarias #3tvarias

Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 57s57 seconds ago
Reversal- #NUrmi arguing that the media's win at court of appeals hurts the State, not #JodiArias bc she won't b able to present mitigation

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 42s42 seconds agoPhoenix, AZ
Nurmi- The testimony of the defendant is critical in presenting mitigating factors #jodiarias #3tvarias

Nurmi- You can't just come up here and argue 1st amendment rights in a vacuum #jodiarias #3tvarias

Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 44s45 seconds ago
KN-Cant just argue 1st amendment n vacuum, if released &the harm befalls #JodiArias that she fears by the court’s own words its “game over”

Monica Lindstrom ‏@monicalindstrom 34s35 seconds ago
(cont.) KN- bc she cannot present a full case for life #JodiArias, not fully presenting her mitigation

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ 36s37 seconds agoPhoenix, AZ
Nurmi- This isn't reality TV for the media. If you release these transcripts it's a violation against Ms. Arias #jodiarias #3tvarias
