Subject: Re: Congrats From: Cherokee posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 11:57am  Awww...Stu's as proud as a peacock. Walking around with your chest all puffed out. =) It's a good feeling, no? I've got one of those as well, and she starts college this week. We're getting old ODB. But when you turn out kids like this, it's worth the wrinkles and gray hair. I'm proud of you too, cause I know you had a big hand in her upbringing, and you know she learned alot from you. How on earth could she not? ))BIGHUG(( to you and I'm very happy for your little family Becca Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 12:24pm  Yes, very proud, Becca, for the young lady who's becoming a woman. As to her upbringing, mum takes all due credit for that, although I admit to adding a few, er, interesting embellishments along the way, as has her uncle. Her boyfriend sat 5 'A' levels & got 5 As; I think I'm warming to him after 2 years :~} Thanks for your kind words, & for your information, she's a crypto-sceptic after my own heart, although she's still not averse to the odd flight of fancy. Subject: Re: Congrats From: /PJ posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 5:38pm  Congrats to all of you. Well done! This past 2 years have been a blur for me, and one hell of a roller coaster ride. I'm a first-time grandma, my "baby" graduated and turned 18, I lost both parents (Does that mean I'm an orphan?) and a few assorted other loved ones, I was laid-off, moved to a new city; but life goes on, and we do the best with what we've got. I'm actually suprised and a bit proud I didn't fall back into the bad habits I once had "to see me through" (If you catch my meaning?) There's only one word I can think of that describes the way I feel today: "Blue". I'm not sad or depressed, I'm not happy or giddy, not nostalgic or homesick but longing for the past anyhow...I was told this is normal, and it will pass with time. I know my kids are relatively happy and healthy, grandbaby is too, friends are having similar trials and tribulations which makes me feel almost normal again (LOL). Raise a glass to the future for me, and I'll do the same for you. Cheers! Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 7:44pm  Thanks Patti. Some of the "mum" comments were made with you partially in mind. Subject: Re: Congrats From: Geno posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 1:01pm  Aside from staph infection and a cold, I'm doing fine. School starts Wednesday. Got into Honours Lit. and Honours History, so I had to complete two book reports/projects over the summer, which was actually kinda hard. Had to Read A Separate Peace and Their Eyes Were Watching God Second book bored me to death... Subject: Re: Congrats From: ABWorsham posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 2:57pm  It's good to hear from the real world within this website. Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Sun, Aug 23 2009, 7:44pm  Yep, it's out there, no matter how hard some might want to deny it :~} Subject: Re: Congrats From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 10:55am  Well, congrats, Stu. Must say doesn't surprise me; like mother like daugther. What little I knew of your companion impressed me... Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 1:21pm  Many thanks, Clemente. They were even celebrating vicariously in El Hombre Alto! Subject: Re: Congrats From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 2:26pm  WOW... Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 3:07pm  Oh, it doesn't take much for them to vicariously celebrate anything in El Hombre Alto, mio :~D A ship coming to port, someone getting a tax rebate, La Gloria descending the stairs to take a Mahou or four...... The kid has decided to take the offer of a place on the English Literature course at Warwick University. She loves the place, & loves the course. Which is just as well, seeing as I've already bought her 80% of the books she needs! Subject: Re: Congrats From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 4:21pm  Well, man, it is great to know all of you are doing great !. I'll have a beer at El Miquete 's Bar, to your collective health... You know, many Bars here are named after the street they are on. But el Miquete is a very old Bar, was before a tavern, and before, and before... at least till Roman times here, maybe before that. The Church in front is from the 700's...So it was here when they made the street, and the street was named after the Bar, not the other way around. You can have very good meats, like Carrillá, or different kinds of pig lomb, like with nut pines, or in delicious balls stuffed with mistery ingredients; and many kinds of squid. I love squid stuffed with chicken breast, something out of this world. And the venison stew, deer stew, pig stew...Avila beef steak...mmm, I'm getting hungry, you know... Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 4:23pm  I've just eaten 500g of Stu-made lasagne & I'm ravenous, & Spain-sick, just reading your post. Take me to that Roman bar. One day, mio, one day, soon. Subject: Re: Congrats From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 5:01pm  "Take me to the Moon, and we'll have some tapas" Subject: Re: Congrats From: Stu posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 5:11pm  Nah, just take me to Guilena, or Sevilla, or or or or anywhere with churros. Last night I had wonderful bocadillos (well, wonderful for here) in our favourite subterranean restaurant, El Rafa de Rincon. Rafa is a biiiig Sevilla supporter. Ay! Subject: Re: Congrats From: Rainbow Medicine Man posted Mon, Aug 24 2009, 11:51pm  Morning, Stu. Talking of churros...
