Eight hours of doing chair massage yesterday, then two hours at the Chiro's office. My back is killing me. Off to the library today and then to Mom's house with bean soup for my Gramma. She's backto Kansas tomorrow. Won't see her again until November. =(” 7:34:53 AM 5/09/06 “I'm off to get boxes to start packing stuff up. I guess I'll start with our library if you can call it that. Lots and lots of books. Many many pounds of books. I'd better get smaller boxes.” 7:41:22 AM 5/09/06 “rip out some pages; that's what makes 'em heavy.” 8:57:34 AM 5/09/06 “Placing Nimblefoot on ignore can make many strings shorter! treebait - I believe it is the new gourmet coffee. Ugh!” 10:36:59 AM 5/09/06 “morning all, foggy as can be here this morning but should blow over, time to get into my race mode have an 18 hour adventure race starting friday night” 4:59:55 AM 5/10/06 “Morning everyone! Slow thread lately. What's up with that? I have a job interview on Monday! I'm not all that fired up about it, its not a job I really want, but a job is a job! Have a great day!” 7:51:37 AM 5/10/06 “Morning all. It's another cloudy day, with rain expected this afternoon. I don't mind at all, except for the f-----g yellow flies are out in droves right now. Dang little buggers HURT when they bite a chunk out of your skin!” 8:00:00 AM 5/10/06 “Good morning! Wait a second, FLA has it's own version of the blackfly?! I got the most lovely invititation to a wedding in the mail yesterday. =) Work again today from 11-5. More chair massage for another chiropractor. Have to pack up tonight to leave for RRG in the morning. I am looking forward to the trip very much. I had to run out and buy Abby a fleece coat a few days ago. Hers lost it's zipper just as they get hard to find around here. Thank goodness for REIs clearance rack!” 6:11:45 AM 5/11/06 “If you build it they will come. Everywhere. My pond is loaded with leopard frog and toad spawn now. I caught a male leopard frog (honk honk!) and the toad was rescued from a venturi bin. He's sitting in my hand chirping away now. I fed it a big fat larvae I found on a fallen branch. He snapped it right up.” 6:54:45 AM 5/11/06 “Good Morning - cool and sunny along the Front Range today! Tuesday night it SNOWED! Today it'll hit 70.” 7:10:16 AM 5/11/06 “OH! THANK Goodness you got it! I sent one to Leah, at the address I live at, and I haven't gotten it yet!!! We live in teh same zip code - what's up with that???? I had another day at the "alternative" high school. I actually had a girl yell at me today because I "was making her learn" how to do a problem, instead of giving her the answer. SHe was quite ticked off at me! How awful! ;) I think G and I are buying a house. He looked at it last night, I'm going to look at it tomorrow. WOW! I'm so nervous, whether this is the right house or not! I don't think we can comfortable afford more right now, so we'll have to sell it 5-6 years from now. Ahh. Life is so full of twists and turns!” 4:02:07 PM 5/11/06 “Very exciting SG!” 6:11:20 PM 5/11/06 “morning all, up way to early.

We keep getting showers here in the smokies, too. It's just a typical Spring, minus the severe storms. Had an interesting talk last night with a backcountry Ranger. Their group in this area is smaller, but he would not say exactly how many less than the last count of nine. About a year ago they had thirteen. My youngest daughter is moving to California via Boston. Don't ask. She wants a job acting. She claims that she is pretty good. Her college major was Drama. But she needs some cash for some car repairs. Wish I could act my way out of paying for this. Have a great day. last edited: 5/12/06 8:40:26 AM” 8:37:54 AM 5/12/06 “Morning people Packing for Lassen and the full moon. I never knew I had so much stuff I couldn't find.......” 8:43:00 AM 5/12/06 “Morning all! I made it... barely. |-) ZZZZZZ Another cold rainy morn here in Indy. But, hey it's my friday! 4 days off! Woo Hoo!” 5:58:30 AM 5/13/06 “Good morning, Off to Habitat 4 Humanity, going to warm up today. Getting to be routine, either out hiking or making sawdust. Beautiful day in the dester. Went to drop something in the mail box, neighbor's house was TP'd last night, they did a job on him. Don't know why.” 7:12:12 AM 5/13/06 “Good morning all. HPM's home for the weekend, yay! He's off at Home Depot, to finish the deck over 1 end of the pond. We're getting 4 cubic yards of mulch delivered later today, to try and hold the sand down.” 7:30:12 AM 5/13/06 “Good luck spreading treebait! Yall are gonna love Charolotte. the kid has a bday party to attend around 11 and beyond that I'm gonna do a light run and then clean up the place and spend the rest of the day being lazy.” 7:48:37 AM 5/13/06 Hugs. “Good morning from sunny Bryson City, North Carolina. The temperature was scheduled to dip between the mid-20's and the low 30's last night, a little low for May. Thank goodness for a warm sleeping bag. Enjoy your weekend.” 8:44:38 AM 5/13/06 “nice and cool outside. We're getting ready to go downtown for the Colorado Rockies Homerun 5k. Its gonna be a family affair with me and Diane and both of our kids too!! Big party at the ballpark afterwards too! Yall have a great day!” 6:39:58 AM 5/14/06 “It didn't take very long at all to spread the mulch around the yard although A) I could have used 2 more C.U. and B) those splinters were a b!tch. I got my mom some really good darjeeling tea (her favorite) from harney and sons. They rock. HPM, alas, did not get anything for his mom so I might be running out to get her some nice flowers, or blooming plants, or something like that. Actually, maybe me and HPM ought to just offer to haul the old washing machine his dad left sitting on the porch out to the curb for her. That would be very much appreciated.” 10:46:21 AM 5/14/06 “Morning all! I've got an interview at a charter school this afternoon. I hope it goes well! G and I put a bid in on a house on Saturday. Bid expires tonight at 8PM. There is likely another bid that will go in, too, and we're now feeling that we're gonna lose the house. Keep your fingers crossed things go well for us, I really want this house! Catch up with you all later!” 9:01:07 AM 5/15/06 Hugs. “Good morning. Yesterday was nice, but Saturday night had a lot of rain and close lightning. It woke me a couple of times. Just bought a new tire. Getting prepared to go to trail days, but am going to wait another day for some mail. I may need to get an attorney. Some of these companies do´not seem to respond to letters. Specifically, my medical insurance premium is way off due to some errors that they made last year and a hospital does not feel it necessary to explain why they used my insurance policy number last year without authorization. Sometimes I feel so tired of trying to get other people's mistakes corrected. Good luck, smiley girl. Enjoy a great day. Try to make it to Trail Days. It's worth attending. last edited: 5/15/06 10:04:56 AM” 10:03:17 AM 5/15/06 “No, it's not.” 10:27:20 AM 5/15/06 “NS, make a DOI(Department of Insurance) complaint against them...insurance companies put a high priority on those because they have to respond to them in a certain time frame” 10:35:21 AM 5/15/06 “WE GOT THE HOUSE!!! WE ARE HOMEOWNERS!!!!! And, my interview went well. All in all, a great day! :))” 8:20:12 PM 5/15/06 “Sweet! Congratulations!” 8:22:58 PM 5/15/06 “Morning hugs!!!! .....congratulations Smiley...and good luck on the teaching job!!!!! ...sigh...is it Friday yet????? ...went fishing Saturday.....caught one HUGE brim worthy of keeping...but we threw him back..... ...been having trouble with my hip/back/leg...I am comfortable as long as I am on my feet.....but after I sit awhile, my hip, lower back, and leg start to hurt....I refuse to take the Celebrex the Dr gave me..and Ibu barely helps it....and I refuse to accept that it is degenerative arthritis....been slowly doing some yoga...it has been helping.....thank goodness I have a stand up job...lol......enough whining!!!” 6:33:56 AM 5/16/06 “Sorry to hear about that Divinity. There are alot of natural products that can help with inflammation....tumeric, cherry juice extract, etc. I have success with Glucosamin and MSM. YAY SmileyGirl!! =D This past week and the beginning of this week have been really difficult around here. I've been home pretty much all the time (except while in school), for the past year and a half. Some little people are not appreciative that I've chosen to resume work. I'm only at twenty hours a week but you'd think I was torturing the kid when I drop her off at preschool. It's been really hard for me. Are children born knowing exactly how to make your heart ache the most?” 8:31:43 AM 5/16/06 “Cheer up, Sass. It won't be long and she'll be cheerfully bouncing out of the car for preschool. You'll be grateful for the goodbye kiss. It's all about change.” 9:08:33 AM 5/16/06 Hugs. “thriftyhiker - Thanks for your suggestion. divinity - Sure sorry about your pains. Sassafras - Just keep trying. Garrison Keillor had some interesting comments on the subject during his Mother's Day Program last Saturday night. You might enjoy listening to it: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/ Nimblefoot - Did you ever make the canoe trip about which you were talking recently? YAY SmileyGirl!! =D” 9:39:56 AM 5/16/06 “Nowslimmer, which one? There are so many. Most have been interrupted by my constant moving, but I was out for a couple of hours yesterday p.m., dodging the rain and paddling into the wind. I'm checking out a few lakes because my mother wants to catch one more big fish before she dies and she'll be here next week. Now that my furniture is inside I can take forever to get settled and probably will.” 9:56:47 AM 5/16/06 ““WE GOT THE HOUSE!!! WE ARE HOMEOWNERS!!!!! ~ Smelly Girl "WE?" Who's "WE"? Whoa! You ain't done went and started steppin' out on me have you? Heheee! Just kidding, Aim. Congratulations! I've been outta the loop somewhat, but it seems I remember something about you moving north? Central MI? Is that where the house is? I'll look farther up the thread...” 10:05:18 AM 5/16/06 Nimblefoot “Both you and your mother likely would enjoy the story about the 200 pound, white, albino walleyes. http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2006/05/13/ I believe it is this one: 00:42:24 American Fishing Theater script in Segment Two. last edited: 5/16/06 10:08:43 AM” 10:07:33 AM 5/16/06 “Divinity - Nice bream, eh? (notice spelling of "bream" hehe!). Beware the IBU! I went and got me an ulcer from them suckers. Had to swear'em off...” 10:11:29 AM 5/16/06 “Gojo - I'm getting hitched in a few weeks, so the "we" is the lucky dude who gets me for the rest of his life! :) Yeah, mid-Michigan. Frankenmuth, to be exact. C'mon up for a chicken dinner! How the heck are ya? Good to see you here! Whatcha been up to?” 12:29:57 PM 5/16/06 “Nowslimmer, I got to hear that program twice on the way home from RRG. =) Never mess with a mermaid!” 12:51:27 PM 5/16/06 “Good morning hugs...... ...is it Friday yet??? ...picked up some hurricane supplies last eve....getting ready!!!.....extra flashlights....propane...batteries....just a few things every payday...... ...I saw something in the newspaper awhile back...a guy talking about bird flu...he said we didn't have anything to worry about ...BUT to have some cash ready ...stay away from public places...and when asked how HE was preparing....he said he had a 3 month suppy of food.....sheesh..... ...anyone remember the swine flu?????” 6:21:14 AM 5/17/06 “Morning all. My to-do list is a mile long today. I have no idea how I'd get all this stuff done if I actually had a job right now. Sheesh! Divinity, Friday's almost here. Hang in there!” 8:19:06 AM 5/17/06 Jump to Page << prev
