So far the weather looks nice, hopefully it'll stay that way. I didn't expect to work today, being the first day back to school. But, a teacher got really sick, and requested me last night. At least I didn't have to wait for the 6Am phone call, and its nice to know I seem to be gaining a reputation as a good sub. Now, I just need the 7th grade writing teacher to pop that baby out, and I'll be working every day for 6 weeks. She's supposed to be due in another month, but I guess we'll see how long that baby lasts. I was going to take the decorations down today, but I guess I have to do that tonight now. I'd put it off until tomorrow, but who knows if I'll be working again or not. Grrr!” 4:39:01 PM 1/02/07 “Tet that woman out for a good ride on an ATV or a snow mobile.” 5:18:23 PM 1/02/07 Hugs. “Good morning. I've been up for more than an hour For some unknown reason, I thought more of you were up early these days! Mataharihiker - Hope you're feeling better, today. treebait - Are you getting rid of the cats and fish with the house? My car's electrical problem finally went into a hard failure just before I left for last weekend's trip. So, now and until I have it repaired, I'm down to my bicycle for transportation. Have a wonderful day.” 3:26:07 AM 1/03/07 “feeling MUCH better today, thank you...I really do wish that I hadn't started the year feeling poorly but after 32 hours in bed, if you're not well, your probably gonna die, as my mother always told us... It was beautiful around midnight...if I had felt better I would have gone for a walk...snow was still covering most of the tree branches despite yesterdays being above freezing and with the full moon, well, it was a fairy wonderland... almost 27 now and I'm getting ready for work...you all have a good one!” 4:56:25 AM 1/03/07 “Glad you're feeling better. Have a good time at work. How far do you have to drive?” 5:26:32 AM 1/03/07 “Good morning everyone. A cold, cold 32* here in the sunny south. The high is around 65* though. It should be a pretty day. Seems like most everyone but me worked yesterday. I've retrieved all the vm's and emails. Thank goodness it should be a productive morning without and land mines waiting on me.” 6:13:16 AM 1/03/07 Good Morning America “It's 38 here, teas good, hooked up my Dish Network to my computer so now I'm watching news in the corner and TT'n on the other side, I need help I think. Perhaps it's time I put on my pack and got out in the woods for a week.........some day it's going to be the AT........ No rain till, well, today they're saying, we'll see.......” 7:34:15 AM 1/03/07 “Good news, mata, sweetie! I've been up a couple of hours working on my house. Just took a TT and breakfast break of blueberry pancakes with banana covered with honey and Maine maple syrup.” 7:49:54 AM 1/03/07 “About half the cats and half the fish are going with me to NC. The rest of the fish either go to the house buyer or to the koi club's rescue pond. The cats I can't take are going to a feline adoption agency, so to speak. It's a company called "Catopia." I have 2 house showings this afternoon, and now my cat Pinky has projectile vomited in 3 rooms. Damned hairballs and change of food.” 8:04:02 AM 1/03/07 “Is treebait a catlady?!?! ;-) Just how many cats y'all got?” 8:11:20 AM 1/03/07 “Sounds like a good plan, treebait.” 9:07:15 AM 1/03/07 “3 housecats, plus 4 outdoor black cats who were abandoned by a neighbor who moved and left them behind. I have 19 Koifish. Stovey, call me that again and I'll B!tchslap you until you see the afterlife.” 10:21:16 AM 1/03/07 “Hey Matt, I believe a TOP violation has passed through your censorship! "Posts that express physical or verbal threats towards another poster." last edited: 1/03/07 10:28:46 AM” 10:26:31 AM 1/03/07 “LMAO! I'm sure she meant that in the nicest way! Its a beautiful day here, and I finally went out for a walk! Its about time I got off my fat ass. Nothing else new in my life today. Catch ya tomorrow.” 3:24:49 PM 1/03/07 “Stovey, call me that again and I'll B!tchslap you until you see the afterlife. LOL! Never make fun of the Cat Lady. Do you have old baby dolls hanging from the tree in your front yard that is covered with plastic flowers? [ducking]” 3:31:13 PM 1/03/07 “BTW- Hi Smiley! :)” 3:35:43 PM 1/03/07 “treebait is my homegirl. She once made me cookies!” 8:35:51 PM 1/03/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Sure is great in Florida this time of the year. Highs are in the 80's and there are sprinkles sometimes during parts of the afternoon to help keep the flowers smiling. Have a great day.” 5:02:27 AM 1/04/07 “Good morning catgirl, er koilady, er treebait! LOL...Good luck with the move...those black, outdoor cats might be tough to relocate... And good morning to you, Stovey...we're probably almost as warm up here as you are down there...no, wait a minute, you are REALLY down there, aren't you? it's 34F here and afternoon rain is in the forcast...so much for the little snow we've had...they can dispute global warming all they want as I watch each year be warmer than the last I'm LIVING it! I do miss snow:(” 5:07:27 AM 1/04/07 “Good Morning you all.... Its 50 and raining, has been all night. Time to turn on the satellite and see whats cookin with the morning news channel. It's nice havin it hooked into my computer so I don't even have to get up now to watch TV........” 7:26:33 AM 1/04/07 “39 degrees at 7:30 with a forecast of sprinkles all day. Personally, I like sprinkles and hope they are chocolate. I successfully thwarted my own attempt to buy a new truck yesterday. I'm getting better at dealing with my compulsive self:) Drove up to Superior, test drove the truck, got a price on my trade in, went to lunch, changed my mind and drove home. That's what I call a successful shopping trip. Today I need to buy a new kitchen stove. The one in the farmhouse works on only 2 burners and no oven. Since I got a partial payment on some of the logging, today will be stove shopping.” 7:35:47 AM 1/04/07 “YAAAWWWWN, one of my firefighters collapsed in training yesterday (he is okay, just a medication screw up) so I got a panicked call to cover the rest of the shift for him. Spent the night in the 'well to do" area of the county...medical, controlled burns, and chasing smoke. Good crew and it is neat to watch how much some of my "rookies" have changed in 5 or 6 years.” 7:39:13 AM 1/04/07 “Nimbletoe, I got a Coleman two burner for 38 bucks. The fuel is cheap too. Do you need more? In the words of the immortal Thoreau..."Simplify, simplify, simplify"...... XL, you slave driver, be easy on them rookies, they tender you know....” 7:52:40 AM 1/04/07 “Going to be 50 degrees again here. The daffadils are confused and poking their heads through the soil. 'Spose we'll lose them in the next freeze.” 8:10:59 AM 1/04/07 “Back to office work today. I need a rest from home work.” 8:23:18 AM 1/04/07 “Good morning. Been sleeping in to try and shake this cold to no avail. Now, with rain coming in later today my head feels like it wants to explode. Gonna tackle the Christmas decor today. I hate having it up after new years. Dealership still has the car. We've decided it will be sold as soon as we get it back. Hopefully to the same dealer w/ no hassels. Birch has a "new" pick up coming. A twenty two year old S-10 with 38,000 miles and absolutely no rust. It needs a new carborator. It has an old guy paint job of gold and brown stripes and he is tickled pink. It will make getting stove fuel much easier. Treebait, ever tranquilize your animals for transport? Might make everyone's trip nicer and much more peaceful. Unless your cats actually like the car. Safe travels.” 8:24:31 AM 1/04/07 “Remind me not to say cat and lady in the same sentence to sweet treebait. ;-)” 8:28:32 AM 1/04/07 “Sass, I haven't tried tranquilizing them, but I may do that for a 6 hour drive. A 22 year old S-10? I get the feeling that odometer's turned over a few times.” 8:29:15 AM 1/04/07 “Having a truck around the house is pretty handy to have. I've been able salvage about a cord and a half of wood from the 'hood for this "winter" with it.” 8:32:06 AM 1/04/07 Hey Stovestomper! “Don't say cat and lady to Treebait in the same sentence. Somehow I don't really think you'll forget though. =)” 8:38:17 AM 1/04/07 “I've been able salvage about a cord and a half of wood from the 'hood for this "winter" with it. What are ya doing? Kicking bums off the wood skid pallet beds and taking their beds for fire wood? :P” 8:42:59 AM 1/04/07 “"What are ya doing? Kicking bums off the wood skid pallet beds and taking their beds for fire wood? :P" Nigal, our bums are high class bums; they sleep on the sewer grates, silly.” 8:45:53 AM 1/04/07 “Oh, I guess ya gotta utilize your environment.” 8:46:49 AM 1/04/07 “"“Oh, I guess ya gotta utilize your environment.” Nigal" Well, that and the fact that after the '67 riots and countless Devils Nights around here; there's not much wood to burn around down there. ;)” 8:49:51 AM 1/04/07 “Actually it was parked for a long time. But our friend who is selling it bought it about two years ago, undercoated it, put about $1,000 into it and drove it for a year. Now he just wants it out of his garage so is giving it to us for a mere $500. It's hard to go wrong at that price. We originally were going to get a trailer but the truck will cost less. Birch has loved this little truck since he first saw it.” 8:50:09 AM 1/04/07 “Down here we have the University of Dayton and they are partial to burning couches for some reason. Maybe because the average life for a college couch is three weeks before it becomes too disgusting to even sit on.” 8:51:40 AM 1/04/07 “"Now he just wants it out of his garage so is giving it to us for a mere $500." That's a deal. Trucks around here are holding their value, too. Mine is in fair shape and I could still get 1,400 for it. I'm using mine until I I get the kitchen updated, next years wood together,then it's gone. The 26 dollars a month for insurance is a killer! ;)” 8:52:32 AM 1/04/07 “Treebait, I've tranquilized my cats for a move. Made the ride much more tolerable for me. They never actually slept, but were just really groggy. I'd do it again if need be. My parents are coming here for lunch, and then we're taking them to the airport. THey're headed back to FLorida today. I got the Christmas stuff down yesterday, I just have to put the tree away. For some reason I don't want to do it. :(” 10:00:29 AM 1/04/07 “Sweet treebait is a lady that made me cookies once. She does have a lot of cats. Sass, they aren't in the same sentence, LOL.” 10:03:54 AM 1/04/07 “"Down here we have the University of Dayton and they are partial to burning couches for some reason." They must have an influx of transfer students from MSU.” 10:08:31 AM 1/04/07 Dimetapp work for cats???? “Treebait, I've tranquilized my cats for a move. Made the ride much more tolerable for me. They never actually slept, but were just really groggy. I'd do it again if need be. .....” smiley girl 10:00:29 AM My foolish sister in law used Dimetapp (Sp???) to grogg out my small neice and nephew for car trips. Might work for cats, might kill them.” 10:10:08 AM 1/04/07 “I took the safe route and got some pills from the vet. It was sad and funny all at the same time to watch them walk around with partial use of their hind legs. Neither of them could jump up to a small table. We laughed at them, but it was kinda hard to watch all at the same time!” 11:39:55 AM 1/04/07 “I prefer to just tranquilize myself rather than the cats. Makes the drive go a lot faster and all the meowing doesn't bother as bad either.” 11:42:26 AM 1/04/07 “Good morning all......it's 51 here and the rain is over and all clear for a week, hopefully. Nimblefootz...is the gunfight over? What you gonna shoot next?.............or have you learnt about those little red buttons?......” 7:32:58 AM 1/05/07 “Morning. Happy Friday!! Got all the Christmas stuff packed away yesterday. All is back to normal. Going to be a fun day....library, birthday gift shopping for Birch (he'll be 34 tomorrow), and the gym. After that nothing left but to putz around the house. You all have a great day!” 7:55:32 AM 1/05/07 “Happy Birthday Birch. Wow! He's just 3 months older than my daughter. Send him to time out for me;)” 8:01:10 AM 1/05/07 “I try Nimblefoot. He never listens to me. The only thing that works for him is spanking. ;) BTW, the truck is coming home (well, getting towed to the shop for it's new carburetor) tonight. Whoop!” 8:04:36 AM 1/05/07 “Whatever you do, do not spank him and say "this is from Nimblefoot".” 8:28:41 AM 1/05/07 “Morning, all. 6th grade math today. Converting decimals to fractions and vice versa. *so far* the day is good, but if I recall correctly, the afternoon classes are, um, challenging. :) Basketball games tonight, working with a kitchen person tomorrow and then down to G's parents overnight. I leave for Florida Tuesday, so it'll be a busy few days here! Happy early birthday, Birch!” 10:06:52 AM 1/05/07 “Morning hugs to all!!!!! I hope everyone had wonderful holidays!!!!...I sure did....the only time I get to see all my kids at once!!!! and even got in a day hike in Sipsey!!!...wooo hoooo.....as beautiful as ever......Santa brought new fishing poles, so we could go fishing Christmas day while our kids were busy with other family, but the weather did not cooperate :( I also got a mug from Paris, France from my daughter...woo hoooo..my favorite book and movie..." To Kill a Mockingbird"....and a hand held freecell game..which I have about worn out the first set of batteries......wooo hoooo...and a new stereo for my Mustang!!!! ..my son informed me he was moving to California....AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!...way too far away!!!!! ...so what have I missed?????” 10:25:56 AM 1/05/07 Jump to Page << prev
