Each day, just let them know...

by Zona





This week Mr. Z and I are celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We have been through a lot together. There have been both good times and bad, but we held on and our love for each other is amazingly strong. We have our arguments, as every couple does. I don't think there is any way to bring two people from completely different families together and NOT have disagreements occur. It's always gonna happen, but we never go to bed mad at each other. One of us always apologizes. It's kind of a rule around here. We do have one other ritual. No, Tina, it doesn't involve porn. Every time Mr. Z leaves the house to go to work or we are going to be separated from each other for a while, we say "Love you...forever." Every single time. I once asked him, when he called me from work, if he was ever embarrassed to say this over the phone with all those people around. He said no, he wasn't, because it was too important to him to let me know how he felt just in case something happened and he didn't get home that day. On the face of it, it may seem silly, but it does have deep meaning for us. I am always sure he knows that I love him...he's always certain I know how much he loves me.

Mr. Z and I both love this song by Ne-Yo. We both believe it has an important, but simple message. Let those you love, know how much they really mean to you. Never, EVER, miss the chance to tell them "Love you...forever."

SHIRLEY...check back here tomorrow as I am sure when the West Coast owls fly in they will be wrapping you in their wings.

Bonacci,
Yoga? for a pimple? please share

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Thank you all sooo much. I am off to bed now. Thanks Carol.

bonachichi said...

Carol, yoga for the pimple. Yes. So you can pretzel yourself enough to reach it.

Maureen said...

BONACCI...So far, so good. I know we have a shortage of clinicians. We need docs, nurses, PTs, OTs, ST's, RD's and MSW's.
Family doc's or GP's are rare, as most med students go into specialties since the pay is higher and it is easier to pay back school loans. There is a new med school in FLA that just announced they will enroll 40 students for free tuition if they go into family medicine. It's a start. And hopefully with the increase in the need for medical professionals there will be a need for the increase (or stabilization) for support staff like me.

I know in my head and my heart I made the right move getting into this field. Keeping it positive!

Thanks for asking!

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci...

You just cracked me up..

HA! perfect!!!

Maureen said...

Actually, I didn't chose to get into this field...it choose me!

night.owls.sb said...

Shirley,
There are not enough Thank You's for you. You are such a big part of the nest. I will never ever forgot how your hand is always there for me and for the nest..

A friend indeed...

Sleep Well...

night.owls.sb said...

Mo,
So true it chose you, same for me and my career..

Maureen said...

BONACCI...CAROL is already a contortionist! We call her Gumby!!

Oohhh, my bad...she is a conWHOREtionist ;)~

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci,
I am still trying to picture me in the position you describe.. and the more I think about it, the more I know for sure... It ain't gonna happen...

:O)

Maureen said...

CAROL...your post to SHIRLEY puts it perfectly. I second that!

night.owls.sb said...

Mo..

Excuse me... I am Gumby, only when porn is involved.. and I can't talk about it cause its lent..

Easter can't come fast enough..

MEK in AZ said...

MO - many, many years ago - the mortgage company that I worked for shut down and I found myself looking for work. The mortgage industry was crashing (kinda like now) and noone was hiring.-

the medical field found me and I never looked back. I LOVED every minute of my job!!

night.owls.sb said...

Tina has not come back, the priest must have given her a tough penance.

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,
I love my job to, so maybe its better when it chooses us..

MEK in AZ said...

carol - seriously - i WILL pop the pimple for you.....

and - yes, Carol Burnett was brilliant last night - you can watch the episode on nbc.com...

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - exactly!!

MEK in AZ said...

OH - and I googled the results.. I just could NOT wait!!

:-)

it's Zona's fault - she is the queen on google - she taught me well!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Tina - congrats on 200!!!

wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall during her confession??!!

LOL

bonachichi said...

Mo, I've been thinking of you... I'd planned on going back to mainstream employment but now's not a great time. I do envy people who know where they'll be working "tomorrow" and have some idea of how long they'll be working.

MEK in AZ said...

forgive me Father for I have sinned.

I marched to 69 today.

I would love even better to see the expression on HIS face!!

Forgive ME Father for this post!!!

bonachichi said...

Carol if you try yoga you may not get the pimple, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to cross your legs behind your head? After lent, of course.

night.owls.sb said...

Mek,

"I marched to 69"..

I don't go to confession anymore, I have not been in yrs, I have way to many sins, and I sin daily, so I would have to go daily.. Instead I just think about it.. not the same I know.. but it works for me..

East Bay J said...

Hey hooters,

Sorry I missed the group hug, but Shirley I am sending huge hugs to you and know I am thinking of you.

I think I get the traveling necklace after Bebbi!

Bonacci I was told today that if we can get Paula's blood pressure regulated, she may get some of her vision back.

I am taking her to the veterinary ophthalmologist next Thursday.

I wanted to say that I was surprised at who got voted off last night on DWTS. MR. EBJ says he was not surprised at all.

I was just sure it was going to be someone else!

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci,
I am yearning for that.. this has been the hardest lent to date...

Zona said...

I was popping back in to catch up on comments before LOST starts..but it's on in a few minutes, so I will come back after it's over.

SHIRLEY: I am so sorry to hear about your mom. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} from AZ!

CPGEM: Thank you.

bbiab...be back in a bit...

Zona said...

The beginning of my last comment didn't make any sense..but try to pretend it did. thanks. :)

bonachichi said...

Now Zona's giving us definitions for her acronyms. Love it!

I'm betting I'd be able to tell where you all go to confession. It'd be the churches that have dents in the floor. Where the priest hit his head after hearing you and fainted.

Mary/MI said...

Good evening everyone.I have been off line most of the day doing spring cleaning. I even spent a couple hours working on the yard.
I did catch up the the comments and was so sorry to hear about Natasha Richardson. I have been following the news all day about her. It didn't sound good, but I was hopping for the best.

Zona, my parents never said I love you by their words, but by their actions. It didn't really occur to me at the time, so I don't think it damaged me much lol! I believe that is why all 6 of my siblings always tell each other we love them when ever on the phone or in person. Many of us live far apart. We know how precarious life can be.

I always tell my sons I love them and how proud I am of them. Hugs are big here too.

I'm off to catch up on my other web sites........

East Bay J said...

Zona I completely got what you said.

ibbaipoaihs

hmmmmmm????? what could that mean?????

Maureen said...

MEK...did u c Carrie and her hair yet?

MARY...hello

EBJ...saegbjkutss

Mary/MI said...

Hi MO!

That black flower on Carrie's head was very distracting! I am not sure I like her hair that short either. I adore her and her singing though :)

MEK, thanks for the info. to watch Carol. I missed it yesterday. LOL on the 69 confession!

East Bay J said...

MO! Of course!

MEK in AZ said...

OMG - that was NOT my confession!!

It was just a general confession for the nest!!

MEK in AZ said...

MO - no, haven't seen Carrie yet - you said I had to wait 45 minutes - so looks like I have 20 more minutes to wait..

I just know two of the bottom three so far............

AND - may I just say - I really do NOT like it when these kids talk back to the judges while getting their comments......

YEAH - Brad Paisley - i just LOVE him!! (but - I love country music!!!).........

Maureen said...

MEK...I loved Brad Paisley, too! (and I don't love country music!!!)

Maureen said...

I must go find my phone, as I use it for my alarm clock. Can't remember where I put it!! Maybe I left it in the car!

bonachichi said...

Mo, the first sign of middle age is losing your phone. Soon you'll start forgetting where you left your teeth.

Maureen said...

BONACCI...holy craparoni...if I misplace my teeth, it means I misplaced my mouth!!! I only place it exactly where I want to...ijs!!!

Really gotta go find the phone so I can go to bed!!

Maureen said...

Besides BONACCI...I am only 29 ;)

Oopsies, guess I just sinned!

really going now!

TINA... double sinner!! Maybe you should just move into the confessional!

iteach said...

Good night everyone!

Hello Miss Bonnie!

Shirley here is a gentle hug while you are sleeping.

MEK in AZ said...

Tina - I think my generic confession was written just for you tonight!!
LOL

MO - just heard Carrie - and she is just amazing - she sang that song the night at the Grand Ole Opry when Randy surprised her on stage to become a member!! AND - in her concert - which I will NEVER forget - one of the BEST concerts I have ever been too (also saw Randy when he was a young, up and coming artist)..

anyway - while the thing in her hair was distracting - I didn't find it THAT bad.......

Hell, she could wear a paper sack and still look AMAZING!!!!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Good nite, Iteach...... sweet dreams..

Tina~in_ut said...

MEK~ mine was a assident~ :)~ both of them~

bonachichi said...

You lose your teeth when they're removable... dentures.

bonachichi said...

Yeah. We're all 29. And we're all going to Hell for lying.

Tina~in_ut said...

i don't lie...i'm just pretty~

Mary/MI said...

Good night everyone. I have to get up wayyyy to early for me! I have a nerve conducting test in Lansing in the morning. It was rescheduled from Mon. I hear it is a painful test. Tina can I borrow Eunice to keep me distracted and laughing?

MO, I use my phone for the alarm too. Hope you find yours!

Night all!

Just_Lin said...

Tina Did Eunice go to church with that cig hanging out of her mouth?

Shirley Sweet (((HUGS))) to you.

MO Did you find your teeth, ....I mean, your phone?

Bon'Oregon Love seeing you here today. xoxo

Mary/MI said...

Crap who am I kidding. I can't go to bed early. MEK, I am going to watch the Carol B. video. I forgot what show it was on??

night.owls.sb said...

Nite Mary... Sleep Well...

Mo..I hope you found your phone, how the heck ya gonna get up..

Tina.. Forget confession you need a
exorcism!

Mek.. yes she was amazing, till did not like the thingamajig tho...

Just_Lin said...

Got my hair cut and dyed. Ran all sorts of errands. Stocked up on wild bird seed, cat food and cat litter. In general, doing lots of stuff to get ready to go away. It sure is a production!

night.owls.sb said...

Tina,
If you need pea soup, just let me know, I will send you some in a can..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Hi J/L...

Are you going to your mom's??

Just_Lin said...

Carol Yes, going to see Mom. She is turning 81.

Mary I wish you well tomorrow. I hope it's not as bad as you've heard.

night.owls.sb said...

Tina,
When I come to Utah, you can pop my zit, however let me know when the exorcism is over tho, as I don't want to come prior to it or during it..

Those things can get ugly...

Just_Lin said...

Carol Maybe that's not really Eunice. Maybe it's Linda Blair! Bwahahahaha!

night.owls.sb said...

J/L...
How great 81, Happy Birthday to her.

Fun!

night.owls.sb said...

J/L, You could be right as one never knows with Eunice..

Just_Lin said...

Carol I'll be gone from the 21st until the 29th.

night.owls.sb said...

J/L,

night.owls.sb said...

J/L,

Just_Lin said...

Tina Congrats on 300! I think it's been a while since we got to 300.

Zona said...

MARY: I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and saying a prayer. I wish you COULD take a pic of Eunice with you to look at to help you smile! Sleep well!

BON'O: Good to see you posting today. I kept praying for a miracle for Natasha Richardson..it was not to be.

MO: LOL @ you wanting to clone Mr. Z..I can't tell him that..he'll get a swelled head. ;)

BEBBI: I'm a big sap too..lol..

KGRL: Amen...you can't say it enough. I so agree.

MEK: I'm only the Google Princess..VIG is the Google Queen!! :)

BONACCI: I know how I confuse myself..I figured I'd just make it easier to understand me. ;)

ITEACH: Not always exciting, but it sure does get interesting!

EBJ: IDKWDIM?? ;)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments today...and sweet dreams to everyone!

Love you...forever! SWAK! :)

Just_Lin said...

Zona Luv u 2. :)

Sweet dreams, everyone.

Dianne/Denver said...

Wait..wait...is anyone still up? I haven't been on in awhile but I read daily.

TINA: Maybe it is time to have that priest over for dinner again and he can just listen all night.

ZONA: I loved the blog today and it so fits you and Mr Z. Don't let his head swell or his Bronco hat won't fit him. I am so proud that he is wearing his new hat to work.

I think it is important to tell people you love them as long as you mean it. My children grew up with hearing it from me but not from their father. It makes me sad when my daughter told me recently that her dad told her "he loved her" and then she knew he was worried about her health! I am very fortunate to be married to a very loving husband BUT I do go to bed pissed sometimes. Ok-ok ZONA, I will try not to anymore but I can't promise.

SHIRLEY: Sending you hugs to greet you first thing in the morning. I am really sorry about your mom.

Dianne/Denver said...

MEK: It is so funny you said that about Carrie and the bag. I said the exact same thing to MrD tonight when she was on AI. I love her and I really liked the duet. I am not too sure that I agree with who was voted off. I love Country night.

Thank you so much for the St Pat's comments on myspace and hope you all had a fun day.

I have been under the weather with a slight sore throat and cough for a couple of days.

GOLDIE: Have fun with the grandkids.

Dianne/Denver said...

Well, I guess I will go to bed. I am surprised you West Coast Owls and Arizona Owls are sleeping already.

Dianne/Denver said...

310 and trying to find a nice Easter Owl.

Zona said...

DIANNE: I'm hiding from your new owl...it looks like a dive bombing pooper to me!! ;)

G'night Sweet Friend in Denver.. :)

Zona said...

Oh wait...that's better!! :D

Dianne/Denver said...

ZONA wait...do you like this owl bunny better?

Dianne/Denver said...

ZONA: That dive bombing pooper that you called my little owl was listed on google as an "Easter Owl." Who would have thought, huh?

Have fun tomorrow with your husband. Is tomorrow the day you are going to the movie and dinner? Any word yet?

Zona said...

I think I like the first one..but you could always switch back and forth. Do you like my owl bunny?? ;)

Zona said...

Nothing yet. Yep..tomorrow we are supposed to go out. I have a sore throat though...hey, wait a minute.. ;)

Zona said...

Changed my mind..I'm allowed, right? I like the second one..especially the slippahs...lol..

Dianne/Denver said...

Dang ZONA, we should have just said good night when we signed off last night and not kissed...now you have my sore throat. I still think it is because I sleep with my mouth open..maybe you have the same problem but for much different reasons...ijs!

Zona said...

DIANNE: Shhh..no porn..remember? lol..

Dianne/Denver said...

I didn't think you gave it up..just TINA AND CAROL. When did you get so against porn..especially not when you are celebrating your anniversary for the next few days!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Dianne/Denver said...

Do you get on the list for a "25" when it is in the 300's and it is 1:30 in the morning?

Zona said...

..and you're wearing bunny ears and bunny slippahs..I would think so...

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I'll make sure to send a memo to SHIRLEY so you get credit for that one!!!

ZONA - Should I tell her my remedy for a sore throat?!!? Just be careful for furballs.....ijs!!!

Zona said...

JODI!!: I don't know what you're talkin' about.. ;)

Zona said...

Ok..time for me to hoist, lather and rinse well..Good Night Ladies!! SWAK!! :D

Dianne/Denver said...

JODI: I am old and you are kind of giving me the gags! I think I will just take a cough drop.

Dianne/Denver said...

Sounds like ZONA is going for a dip..night JODI AND ZONA.

Jodi said...

Good night ZONA & DIANNE!!

Jodi said...

SHIRLEY - Sorry I was in bed for the group ((((HUG)))).....I will keep your Mum and your whole family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. :O)

Jodi said...

I hope everyone has a great Thursday....time to go get prettied up for work!!

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Not quite as cute as yours, but I like it!!!

Zona said...

Ok..I found one..whattya think? Too weird?

I'm gone for sure now. Night!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

It was nice to wake up to all the hugs. Thanks everyone.

Carol your comment last night was very nice, but I don't do anymore here than everyone else. It seems to be a group effort. ((HUGS))

Now I have to go get ready for my doctor appointment and then off to work. I have to talk to my nephews tonight and tell them about their Grandma.

Sandie said...

Good morning. Just trying out my new picture.

Sandie said...

Dianne, OMG! Your avatar is adorable!
