Be sure to get the men out of the house before the parents come home!

leave it to RichardMel to suggest to walk around naked :sir ken;

Well be fair.. I also suggested spending all day in her PJ's.... :)

And Joe Paul... I coudln't possibly fly in for a girl's night at Karen's - that would make it not a girl's night!!!!

Besides, maybe I just want Karen... alone.... heheheh (that's meant in a flirty way, not a scary weird way!!)  >:D

OK OK I haven't read the whole of this thread yet, but what is this boy up to now.  Hey RichardMel, you want to spend all day in Karen's what???  This is taking flirting to a whole new level.  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

My husband left me all week to go overseas so I went out and bought myself ANOTHER puppy.   It was very naive of me to think I would have her house trained by the time he got home.......but she is cute.

Lucinda, I think you and Karen need to coordinate your being alone times. Karen doesn't like to be left home alone. You're dangerous when left home alone! Maybe you two could be roomies during those alone times. What kind of puppy? Any pictures?

Karen,

I just moved from AL to TN to be close to an Aunt & Uncle here and after about a month or so that I was here they had went on their "planned" vacation.  No, really, it was kind of a "rush rush" thing to get me here so, yeah, they had had their vacation planned already.  Anyway, I thought I would be OK and even tried to stay at their house (I have my own place) one night and I could not stand it and came home and by the 2nd day I was literally crying!   LOL  My Aunt found out about it and I felt sooooo stupid but anyway, I am just telling you all this to let you know you are not alone in hating your parents being gone.   You are very fortunate you still have your parents.........I sure wish I still had my dear Mama..........was not ever close to my "Father" as they divorced when I was 3.  How old are you by the way?  Let us know how you are doing?????!!!!!!

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.    I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!

Hi Everyone! Well, I suvived being by myself lol. I actually liked it more than I thought I would. My parents get home on Monday. I basically did a whole lotta nothing, just stayed home most of the time and relaxed. I didnt go to my dialysis yesterday  >:D. I just really needed a day off, which I know was probably bad of me, but sometimes I just need a break from those needles and the bleach :puke;. Anyways, I did some watering for my mom, ordered in a pizza, and that chinese, which probably blew my labs up lol. My cat and dog really miss my parents as well. I will be glad to have them home,
