Glad you guys have good weather though!” 9:46:46 AM 8/23/05 “Thought you were supposed to be out of there by now, BW?” 9:48:45 AM 8/23/05 Blind Willie “Should I say a prayer for ya?? I'm outa here, l8rz.” 9:54:46 AM 8/23/05 “im up and ready to go. I have to go and fill out the NEW HIRE paper work. im getting so good at doing that, that i can do it in my sleep!” 7:12:07 AM 8/24/05 “77° for a high today. It was a sheet, blanket and quilt night. Feels like the start of Autumn here. =D First day of school for the little one and semester final for me tonight. I'm half-way done!!” 7:13:13 AM 8/24/05 hahahaha “  ”7:14:34 AM 8/24/05 “sass it is the little ones first day at school? boy i remeber when it was twignuts first day. i was soooo nervous. i forgot to even feed her. LOL well it was only for two hours thank goodness! good luck and take loads of pics!!” 7:19:23 AM 8/24/05 “It also feels more like autumn here in NH, Sass. Expected high of 72 today and it was in the high 40s for my early morning dog walk this morning. Winter can't be too far off. In another 3 months, I'll be skiing!” 7:22:54 AM 8/24/05 Mornin' “Man, if only we had those kinda temps here in texas.........i'd be out in the yard sleepin in my tent. I can't wait.......trails, woods, pack, bliss.........” 7:44:56 AM 8/24/05 “70 here in NY” 7:48:10 AM 8/24/05 “ ticks, spiders, scorpions, no-see-ums, ... 8:09:16 AM 8/24/05 “good morning. it feels really good here in cincinnati. it's about time. i wish i could enjoy it a little more. i've got 3 finals starting in an hour and i've been up all night. i had my studying done, i was just up cause i hurt my back and can't lie down. sleeping in a computer chair is only fun when you're at work.” 8:16:49 AM 8/24/05 “Good luck Ductape!” 8:31:51 AM 8/24/05 “Congrats Sass on the halfway mark! Must be a good feeling!” 8:35:23 AM 8/24/05 “I hope you feel better, Ductape! It's finally cooling off here; only a high of 90 today, with a 70% chance of rain. :P A local quilting store is going out of business, and I took Laurel along with me this morning. BIG effing mistake. I have no idea why, but she had a total tantrum at the place. They give out bonus points with all purcheses, if you bring a friend or child, buy certain things, etc... They gave me an extra 80k points for handling Laurel's tantrum as well as I did. I'd laugh if I weren't so mortified.” 11:16:12 AM 8/24/05 Slim “yeah, all them bugs and crawly things, but hey....it's all part of the joys of backpackin'. If it weren't for the bugs what the hell would we have to complain about? BTW, my hiking club got into that section of Lone Star Hiking trail I was scouting and got as many chiggers as I did, but some had to go to the docs for treatment. Ever been into a mess of chiggers??” 11:42:56 AM 8/24/05 “Chiggers rock!!!!! I wish I was out getting chiggers :) I will be this weekend, WOHOO!!!” 11:55:20 AM 8/24/05 “Chiggers rock!!!!! I wish I was out getting chiggers :) I will be this weekend, WOHOO!!!” Spirit Coyote This could only come from a person who's never had chiggers.” 12:19:43 PM 8/24/05 “hehehe your right. I havent had chiggers :) I have had some big ass ticks though. :D” 12:21:39 PM 8/24/05 “It happens Treebait. You got so many points because everyone w/ a kid has been there (unless their kid is a freak of nature and doesn't try any funny stuff to get their way, ever). Abby mortified me at the Dr's office Monday. She acted like a complete uncooperative monster, hiding behind a chair and talking like a two year old. It was no good.” 12:24:56 PM 8/24/05 “Was she screaming the entire time too? Laurel's never behaved like this in public before. SHe's usually pretty good, other than trying to get away from me.” 12:27:27 PM 8/24/05 “aww man, i want to learn to quilt! so what did you do to make her stop tantruming?” 12:27:54 PM 8/24/05 “Put her in her car seat. She wouldn't stop until we left, and then she just sobbed for 10 more minutes. I have no idea what caused the whole thing. SHe felt better after I gave her a kleenex so she could blow her nose and admire her boogers. :P” 12:30:19 PM 8/24/05 “ohhh lovely! :-D” 12:34:44 PM 8/24/05 “Just so long as she's not tasteing.... =) No screaming this time. But when she was younger she did the full out on the floor hollering thing over a large $2 rubber ball. Most of the time Abby acts like a rabid squirrel it's because she's exhausted or scared. After the Dr's apt she expressed how relieved she was that he didn't want to look at her heiney or give her shots. We talked about how if she's worried about things like that she needs to talk to me (I had told her we were just going for a short back to school check-up and there would be no shots), instead of acting like a space cadet.” 12:39:44 PM 8/24/05 “We made it thru the first day of school about a week ago. Very few tears by mom and positive attitude with little man. Pretty pain free all around.” 12:45:21 PM 8/24/05 “One of my daughter's best friends is a 9yrold who still throws tantrums, but fortunately, only for her parents. I dunno how her parents handle it, but whatever they're doing isn't discouraging her.” 12:49:57 PM 8/24/05 “ "Ever been into a mess of chiggers??"Yes!One evening, while getting water from a subsidiary to Abrams Creek near to CS#17, Little Bottoms, in GSMNP, I must have sat on nest of them. It was a cool evening and I climbed into my sleeping bag wearing my pants. Then their earnest attack started. My pants and the sleeping were so infested that I was unable to sleep. I had to shed the pants and the bag [i]for the night. Early in the morning, suffering from hundreds of bites from the waist down, I hiked out early, declared an early end to my trip and drove 11 hours back to my home in Florida. Now I seldom sit in grass and, usually, carry  ”1:17:58 PM 8/24/05 SLIM....COME ON NOW GUY! “them chiggers ain't that bad. That chigger aid looks like nothing but what the old rememdy is to keep em from gettin on ya in the first place...........Camphophenic (i think thats how ya spell it). Anyway, it works real good for chiggers and if you got an ear ache, warm a little up and put a couple drops in your ear and plug it with some cotton. That'll be five dollars, please. LOL.” 9:54:10 PM 8/24/05 “Chappy, it's too late to be posting on this thread! You'll have to wait until at least 3am. ;)” 9:55:59 PM 8/24/05 ....on second thought......... “maybe them chiggars ARE that bad......i been bit a lot by em and just scratch the mess outa em till i've dug a hole in my leg, no more itch, just a dang sore to treat. PS. forget the five bucks, i was just kiddin.” 9:58:17 PM 8/24/05 LOL Sassy “what you doin up so late, don't ya know you'll turn into a pumpkin?” 9:59:23 PM 8/24/05 “Drinking wine and revelling in doing well in school, for once in my life. =) And icing my squishy knee too. last edited: 8/24/05 10:05:53 PM” 10:05:16 PM 8/24/05 CONGRATS “damn, i know the feeling. I had to wait till i was 36 to do college. at least i had my mind on my work ;) oh, and did i mention that camphophenic works on knees too...along with WD40.” 10:08:00 PM 8/24/05 “Shoot, I wasted $2.29 on Liquid wrench!” 10:11:08 PM 8/24/05 LIQUID WRENCH???? “thats only good for toothaches.........before you apply the wrench.” 10:20:05 PM 8/24/05 “good night sass, ima bedtimin'” 10:21:56 PM 8/24/05 “Morning everyone!” 7:39:21 AM 8/25/05 “Good morning Sunshine. Did the little one have school yet?” 7:43:46 AM 8/25/05 “wow 69 degrees. went outside to drink my coffee and had to get a sweater. I did enjoy watching the bumblebee play on my blooming flowers. :) good day already!” 7:47:50 AM 8/25/05 “Yesterday was her first day NC. She loved it. Hey Mapleleaf, did those larkspur (tall blue flowers) seeds every grow for you?” 8:00:03 AM 8/25/05 “oh yes they did, your telling me i never said thank you? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! little guys were planted and put in my daughters windowsill in her room!!” 8:03:08 AM 8/25/05 “Good morning! Today is my Friday. But, I have to work all day today, and then give a presentation at a public meeting tonight to a hostile crowd. They want the lake level higher, we're recommending it be lower. Should be fun! And today marks only 6 days left as a full-time engineer. Wow. I'm so anxious to be done here and move on with school, but it really hit me this morning about how entirely poor I'm going to be for the next 10 months. Wow. I think I'm really going to miss full time employment.” 8:11:12 AM 8/25/05 good morning folks “i smell coffee.....hold on....mmmmmmmmmmm, sure is good. Listening to mapleleaf sure makes me long for cool weather. I hope it ain't too long now.” 8:12:42 AM 8/25/05 Good morning! “ How are all my chigger happy friends this day? Its almost the weekend!!! Pack those bags and get ready to move out! :D” 11:42:53 AM 8/25/05 “yawn.....monring alll i am now relaxed after having chased a squirrel out of my tomato patch! little bugger :( mmmm warm coffee is tasting good in the 68 degree temps.” 6:52:16 AM 8/26/05 “SG - sounds like they're sending you as a sacrifice. Let's let the lady who won't be around any more go take the grief! maple - the lows here are typically 70-75* this time of year.” 6:56:48 AM 8/26/05 “it was chilli out this morning. but a perfect day!” 6:59:02 AM 8/26/05 “Yes indeed. I had hot tea the other night. Funny how we long for summer and then get so excited when we can wear sweaters and jeans again and drink hot tea! Mapes, you thanked me; I just wondered if they grew is all. I just got done picking the seeds off mine for the year. =) BTW, Happy Friday!! Thank goodness it's payday.” 6:59:17 AM 8/26/05 “sigh...i miss paydays i had to buy a blue pair of pants. has anyone ever had to buy blue pants before. ugh it was so sad. i settled for a pair of jeans LOL hey they are blue.” 7:04:50 AM 8/26/05 Jump to Page << prev
