You were merely yesterday's hangover;) Treebait wins. Yeaaaaa Treebait. I could easily sing Happy Days, things are shaping up rather nicely around the old ranch. Well, gotta do my back exercises, shower and get on with my chores.” 8:42:02 AM 12/30/06 “:p ...... I relinquish......... last edited: 12/30/06 9:06:18 AM” 9:04:07 AM 12/30/06 “Ha! I OWN you;P” 9:20:27 AM 12/30/06 “Ha! You old guys are funny! ;D” 10:03:51 AM 12/30/06 hobocentral.com “I can remember when we would see who would be the first to post on hobocentral.com. Gosh I miss that site.....” 2:43:33 PM 12/30/06 “Homocentral? Never heart of it;)” 3:13:42 PM 12/30/06 “Whoo-hoo! I'm the last person to post today! LOL! We talked to Home Depot and Lowe's about a new kitchen today. We also talked to a local cabinet salesperson yesterday. Looks like we underestimated our budget a bit. Whoops!” 10:56:29 PM 12/30/06 “Yep...kitchens and baths...money hungry rooms they are!” 5:45:37 AM 12/31/06 “Good morning. Finally got a name for my new dog. The fellow that gave him to me is a "guns n' gays" far right republican and Clinton hater. Tuesday morning, at the coffee shop, I will announce to him and the table of local rednecks that her name is henceforth "Hillary". I've always had the highest respect for Sir Edmund and how can anyone argue with that (insert evil grin here)?” 6:46:50 AM 12/31/06 “An exemplary title for her, Nimblefoot...but the pwnage belongs to my wife....ha...... Good morning all. It's 44 here and clear. I have a chance to sing a solo today in church but can't decide on which...either "Beulah Land" or some other hymn....it'll probably be BL but I feel so solemn......me thinks it's the tea...... Anyway, have a great day all......” 7:17:00 AM 12/31/06 “When you say "solo", do you mean it will be you singing to an empty church once you start? That's sort of how I envision it, lol.” 8:37:16 AM 12/31/06 “mornin'” 8:59:43 AM 12/31/06 “Good morning... rained all night here in North Alabama. At least I got to hike with my kids yesterday. Ppfftt!!” 9:02:30 AM 12/31/06 “Good morning, I'm wishing everyone a Happy New Year!” 9:24:13 AM 12/31/06 “Nimblefoot, it might just be that way......however, the bible says "make a joyful noise" it doesn't mention if the noise should be consonant or dissonant....” 9:37:26 AM 12/31/06 “I'm sure your singing is good. Mine, on the other hand, was halted on my thru hike when I made the mistake of recording myself and playing it back....dissonant, without a doubt, lol.” 11:48:41 AM 12/31/06 “LOL @ sing a joyful noise! My dad does that in church, and I'm sure God loves it, but its tough on the rest of us! I'm cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. Most days I hate being a housewife, but today its OK. We're part of a progressive party tonight, so I'm getting ready for that. And we've neglected the laundry all week, and its down to bare bones stuff to wear! Happy New Year, everyone!” 12:56:07 PM 12/31/06 “Get up you bunch of hungover drunks. Day lights awastin'. A little coffee and hair of the dog and you'll be good as new:) Happy New Year. 'Tis a sad day when the first one posts this late. Let's get with it!” 7:25:46 AM 1/01/07 “sup” 7:38:40 AM 1/01/07 “Happy New Year everyone!” 8:11:38 AM 1/01/07 “Happy New Year and HOLY KEERAP -- there is snow on the ground!” 9:33:55 AM 1/01/07 “Wow, is everybody hung over or something? I have, like, 6 posts in a row...” 10:03:41 AM 1/01/07 “No hangover for me, I hardly had anything to drink last night. G on the other hand is having just a bit of trouble still! LOL! Happy New Year, everyone! Its time for me to go scrapbook with the girls - our joint NY resolution!” 2:50:31 PM 1/01/07 “Hey, does it count if I was up early but did not post?” 2:56:32 PM 1/01/07 “TOW - yeah hobo central was fun but once you get into the nuttiness TT is just as much fun - good to see you over here - Lone Wolf joins in here too sometimes” 3:01:18 PM 1/01/07 I'm First today....Nimblefeetz....ha. “I got it today. Victory is mine... Supremo pwnage........... :p” 5:02:38 AM 1/02/07 “scheesh...you're in another time zone than NF and I...I've been up since 4:30 but decided to make breakfast before wishing everyone a good morning...unfortunately, I can't get warm and my tummy hurts so I may have to give work a miss today...not good...” 5:19:59 AM 1/02/07 “Sorry to hear that MH. I just finished a nice cup of tea, but now those greens from yesterday are kickin in..........time for toast...........” 5:24:35 AM 1/02/07 “13 degrees this mornin'. Not that cold, but the best we've had in awhile. Uhh, MH, I think Chappy wins big time. He's an hour later than us and still up first;)” 5:50:50 AM 1/02/07 “You're right of course, Nimblefoot...my brain hasn't warmed up either, obviously...LOL...back to bed!” 6:00:20 AM 1/02/07 “29 degrees here and the moon is full with a lot of haze. It's nice and quiet this morning around here. Tea, toast, did the dishes.......now what? I think I'll wake my wife up.......or not.” 6:18:26 AM 1/02/07 “I woke up around 6 am thanks to one of my cats dreaming. He kept harrumphing just like the cowardly lion.” 6:19:40 AM 1/02/07 “I wonder what today will bring? Ever think of that, either at night before your fall asleep, or lying there before you get up? What strange, exciting and totally unexpected thing will happen today that may change how I view myself, others, the world? Will I hear something that will make a difference in my life? Will say something that will make a difference in the lives of others? Will my damn truck start? Huh?” 6:59:12 AM 1/02/07 “Wow! This is the best looking group of people I've seen all year. Hope you feel better, Mataharihiker. I should be making some coffee, but I'm hoping that the Resource Cafe will be open. It is only a thin hope, so I will likely return and work on a trip report. Maybe I can use one of the old ones, like my trip report. Happy New Year. Have a wonderful year.” 7:00:36 AM 1/02/07 There Ya Go, Wobblefoot !! “  ”7:03:02 AM 1/02/07 Oh no.... “The dreaded Red "X"” 7:42:01 AM 1/02/07 7:42:38 AM 1/02/07 “Cool, thanks.” 8:42:57 AM 1/02/07 “Wonderful, the Resource Cafe was open with lots of coffee, decaf, tea and a mountain of sweet rolls. Some woman using the complex, many function, copy machine managed to blow away the post that I was preparing, right off the computer and give me a message about some unconnected hardware. Following that I was unable to properly exit the computer. So I went across the hall and reported things to our temporary manager. Then I complained about an incident from last week. It's about my pending move. I have nothing in writing from the Trailer Park nor from the Airport Authority, but I had rrequested it. The woman, denied knowing about my request, but said that she would try to do something about it with the Airport Authority. So, I am going to start putting things in writing. She claimed that she had given me a price range, but she never had done so. The problem was that last week a woman came to my place, said that the temporary director had told her that I was moving. She insisted that I look at a place that she was trying to sell. She had bought it for pennies, almost, fixed it up and was trying to make a big profit. Well, she was invading my privacy and I did not care for it. Besides, I believe she was operating against Park Rules. But, she used to work for the Park! I think I need a lawyer. Actually, a different place would be a good thing for me, since mine needs a lot of repairs. But I'm happy and getting by. I love my location, but they are not considering my location for other than what they want to do with it. What they are trying to do borders on "Eminent Domain." Taking property to put up other, private housing is now against the law in Florida. So, that plus the fact that I am a disabled senior citizen almost 75 years old, should give some right to spend the rest of my days quietly. Let's see, lawyers, ... Now, why are these telephone pages yellow? Seems like they should be green! last edited: 1/02/07 9:37:09 AM” 9:28:27 AM 1/02/07 “Go get 'em NS.” 9:34:17 AM 1/02/07 “Good morning everyone! Finally back home sweet home. What a trip!! Spent the majority of Xmas day on an airplane, new years eve at Disney world (fun but never ever again), and now mountains of stuff to unpack and wash, etc. Still have all the Christmas stuff to put away too. Whew! But, the brown truck should be coming today and I get to see all of you again. Nowslimmer I do hope you can get your issues resolved without having to pay a lawyer. I've come to the conclusion that folks in FL are rather pushy, no matter if you're a little kid or a seasoned citizen. Good luck! So, did I miss anything important in the past week?” 9:37:37 AM 1/02/07 “Pushy? I'm guessing you were in South Florida.” 9:42:01 AM 1/02/07 “Were ya?” 9:44:47 AM 1/02/07 “huh?” 9:44:58 AM 1/02/07 “huh?” 9:45:07 AM 1/02/07 “Well? lol” 9:45:22 AM 1/02/07 “Sassafras - You did not miss much as far as I know. But I was away. I hope to post a trip report today. Thanks, humanpackmule. I know that I don't have a chance, but when people try to take things from me, I like to make them work a little for it.” 9:45:42 AM 1/02/07 “I was in Ft Lauderdale and Orlando.” 9:49:05 AM 1/02/07 “Actually Sass, I think your observation for those areas in spot on. I really didn't like Ft. Lauderdale at all and Orlando is always a nightmare for me to get around. Whelp, come Jan 31 Florida will be to me what it is to just about everyone else in the US. A place you go to visit your parents. Well NS, sometimes about all you can do is let whomever know you don't appreciate what they are doing to you. last edited: 1/02/07 9:54:54 AM” 9:54:36 AM 1/02/07 Jump to Page << prev
