Ringing in the New Year with Magic Friends

[WaltzingMatilda]

Just finished "Home to Holly Springs" last night....WOW! Don't know if any of you read Jan Karon but you should check her out...really good stuff. Start at the beginning.

 

[Connor002]

Maybe it's a new trend.

Grinchiness?

SIL just called...nephew has pneumonia, they are taking him to CHOP...how does stuff liek this happen? This is a healthy active 13 year old...

There are much worse reasons to go to CHOP.

Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (or possible Philadelphia...I can never remember...Dot?)

Philadelphia.

I used to work there!

 

[Nemo14]

Like the toy company?

Well, yes. Hasbro is HQ'd here, and was founded by the Hassenfeld brothers. They also donated a huge some of $$$ for the children's hospital to be built.

Love the pic Vince.

SIL says to sit tight for now, she will call if she wants us to come down...

I got pneumonia when I was 12. It was walking pneumonia, but I still got it. I got it from stressing myself way too much. I was doing too much for my tiny little body to take. It was nature's way of saying, you need to slow down. Could it be the same for your nephew?

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

She's yours because you deserve her.



Philadelphia.

Aww...thanks Dot.

So I caught the dog chewing on glass yesterday...good thing she's so gentle, I basically stuck my hand down her throat to get it out. Broken ornament...I think she thought it was ice.

She really is smart, I swear.

 

[Connor002]

She really is smart, I swear.

She takes after you.

Aww...thanks Dot.

Of course she is - dogs are smart (well, except for Ginger)

No way! Doing what?

Ya know what Nibbs, it could be. He's had a very tough year...losing his Grandmom and now his parents (SIL and his stepfather) are getting a divorce. Poor kid.

Yes...they are, but they sure have their moments where you're like...why on earth would you do that?!

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

She takes after you.

Brat.

That could definitely be it then. Those stressors can eat away at an adult, imagine what they can do to children.

Hello Connor.
I see you have de-Christmased, as well.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Oh, I have to run...but not before I sneak up on the wee brat and give him a hug...


Ok, off to play Twister, I'll be back soon!

 

[Uponastar]

Ginger still not getting the hang of things?

 

[Connor002]

Brat.

It might have been an insult, it might have been a compliment.
You never know. :shrug:

Though you can fairly accurately assume...

Hello Connor.
I see you have de-Christmased, as well.

The hat was getting a bit too warm.

Take pictures, please!
:wave:

 

[Uponastar]

The hat was getting a bit too warm.

Ah.
Now you have hat hair.

 

[Nemo14]

Ginger still not getting the hang of things?

She can't help it - she's just stupid.





but cute....

 

[Connor002]

Ah.
Now you have hat hair.

How can you tell?
