West field, my eye!” 2:30:07 PM 4/15/07 “I do. Across the road there is a 5 acre field that Melanie and her b/f want to plant. The soil isn't great and they have no cash, so it should be interesting. It's way cool seeing her drive a tractor, though.” 3:03:49 PM 4/15/07 “(why is the "Green Acres" theme running through my head ... ?) Be on the look out for Arnold Ziffle.” 3:14:52 PM 4/15/07 “Hmmmm, some kinda cash crop?” 3:24:23 PM 4/15/07 “I heard it too, Tilt. I don't know about Arnold Ziffle but I met a very nice pot bellied boar named Rooter yesterday. He likes dog biscuits as treats.” 3:26:45 PM 4/15/07 “When you said "Pot bellied bore", I was expecting XL to post.” 4:08:15 PM 4/15/07 “Your buddy has probably been up for three days "on the job", Nimble. I'm sure he'll be back in all his incoherency to bust your chops.” 4:22:42 PM 4/15/07 “How's the weather up there, guys? Sure looks nasty on the Weather Channel. Luckily all we're getting is a slight drop in temperature and a Ton of wind still. PS According to IMDB it's 'Ziffel' not 'Ziffle'.” 5:44:57 AM 4/16/07 6:00:54 AM 4/16/07 “Last frost of the year last night. It's a bit chilly. The high today is 70.” 6:28:17 AM 4/16/07 “mornin. Nice and windy here today, up to 35mph. Almost 60° today (eventully...it's 37° now)), should be nice. Well, one of the therapists left the Chiro's office and I'll be taking most of her hours and clients. Won't be around quite as much. Don't worry, you'll be fine w/out me. ;) The kid is still sleeping. She's just worn out from the weekend.” 6:53:04 AM 4/16/07 “Does this mean you won't be looking into another career field?” 7:06:56 AM 4/16/07 “No, I'll start taking classes. There really is a two year wait for nursing school in MI. So, I have plenty of time before there will be an opening. I expect I'll start in the fall. I may end up changing my mind on what I want to be when I'm done.” 7:24:35 AM 4/16/07 “At least this will help kick in for school fees then. 2 year wait, wow.” 7:43:54 AM 4/16/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Sassafras - Mostly we're worried about all those patients you're getting. LOL. It's a crisp 49°F. outside today. It's about the same inside, too. With a good wind still blowing, it is cold. This has to be our ninth blast of winter. Tha;t's about double lthe average year. Have a great day, folks.” 7:45:48 AM 4/16/07 “Well, I guess I have to come clean...it looks like I DIDN'T kick pneumonia...I've had another fever yesterday and today I'm coughing up the stuff that tells me pnuemonia has come back with a vengence and I'm gonna need drugs this time...I am so royally bummed...I simply worked too hard at work last Friday...on my feet, moving heavy stuff for 10 hours...had I been able to do a sit-down job, I probably would not be in this position...  I am going to try very hard not to let this ruin what should be a beautiful Monday, weather-wise...” 8:11:24 AM 4/16/07 “Get well soon. Be careful with that stuff. A friend in hear early 40's refused to go to the doc, wound up with double pnuemonia and had to spend about a week in the hospital.” 8:14:51 AM 4/16/07 “Hang in there, Mata. Somehow you manage to combine "tough" and "lady" with a rare grace:)” 8:26:21 AM 4/16/07 “Morning. Nice and sunny here, hopefully it'll warm up quickly. Inlaws are scheduled to be here for dinner tonight, not looking forward to it. I woke up crabby, and I don't want yucky chicken for dinner. Ug. I have an ultrasound pic of the babe, but its a .gif and I don't know how to make it a .jpg so webshots won't let me post it. :( Gotta call around on some jobs I applied for last week. Keep your fingers crossed something pans out!” 8:31:22 AM 4/16/07 “I read that Nowslimmer!! ;) Mata, feel better fast and make someone else do that heavy work for goodness sakes.” 8:55:28 AM 4/16/07 “It's another... Tuesday out there! (woo hoo!) The wind has finally slacked off. I'm glad we didn't have to break out the waders like the folks in Jersey ---” 6:58:25 AM 4/17/07 “Glad your trailer didn't blow away, Tilt.” 7:02:23 AM 4/17/07 “Yesterday the local news announced a kindergarten girl at Roosevelt elementary (the name of our school),was hit by a flagpole that snapped off in the wind and was killed. They neglected to mention which Roosevelt elementary (it wasn't ours). Was a bit scarey for a minute or two. We're back down to 20mph winds today.” 7:06:56 AM 4/17/07 “Morning. Been up since 4:30. I hate being so hungry all the time. I am getting a lot done this morning, though. My parents arrive on Thursday, so I'm unburying the bed downstairs. Another bright and sunny day here....I'll go for a walk later, maybe up to the baseball games. Have a good one, everybody!” 7:07:34 AM 4/17/07 “Good morning, folks. Looks like its going to be a beautiful day.” 7:08:59 AM 4/17/07 “Morning...since I ran another low grade fever yesterday I thought it best to stay home from work today to give the anti-biotics time to kick in...I should buy stock in whomever manufactures Clindamycin...I use it often enough Yesterday was stellar...temps were in the 70's and it was absolutely gorgeous outside...not going to be so warm today but the sun is supposed to return in the afternoon... Turned my ankle yesterday..it's doubled in size...have an ace bandage on it...my ankle used to give out on me all the time which is why I hike in high tops...hasn't happened in a long time but yesterday it did...if it isn't one thing, it's another...sigh...” 7:21:39 AM 4/17/07 “Looks like today is a good day to stay the heck out of here.” 9:00:04 AM 4/17/07 “Right-o, Mata. Who makes Pepcid? I need to get some of my money back. Ankles... don't get me started! [G] No trailer in the side-yard here, mArKo.... The condo association would be pissed” 9:02:54 AM 4/17/07 “treebait - Any day's a good day, when you're in the "chips."” 9:28:56 AM 4/17/07 “Good morning...have I mentioned lately how much I love coffee? Let's see, while I can't yet take a deep breath with no pain, it is definitely getting better; my ankle no longer hurts and has shrunk to double sized instead of larger; no fever yesterday so hopefully the kill-pneumonia pills are working. It's all good for me...but, my heart aches when I think of Virginia Tech...” 5:15:07 AM 4/18/07 “good morning folks.......its clear and 53 here, rained last night for a half hour as a front blew thru.......kinda cloudy now and still. still packing boxes for the move.....” 7:58:56 AM 4/18/07 “Building clouds here. It looks like we'll get more rain later today. My knee was boku painful yesterday; it's not so bad today, of course I did clean lots of bluejean fuzz out of it last night. Darned band aid didn't help at all. I've got one of those silver band aids on now; it doesn't stick (thank goodness for that because the abrasion is still very weepy)and it hurts much less. Funny, I haven't given any internal pain or damage any thought because the lack of skin on the surface of the knee hurts so darn much. Laurel's in another weird mood today; she wanted a big bowl of corn for breakfast. What the heck. It's got to be healthier than the cereal at the store. Chappy, I bet as you're packing you are finding stuff you didn't know you had for the last tem years!” 8:12:05 AM 4/18/07 “Hey all. It's a yucky grey day out there. Rain headed our way. Wish I could go crawl back in bed. Feeling lousy and exhausted. Maybe some chocolate with my coffee will help...” 8:39:23 AM 4/18/07 “Funny you should say that Sass, I just sat down to have a couple of dark chocolate squares with my coffee too. It looks even more like rain outside here too. I hope it holds off a little longer. I have to change the water in the koi bin.” 9:23:36 AM 4/18/07 “I had lunch with Dayhiker yesterday. He came to Huntsville on business...that was a nice break from the office. He even paid for lunch !!” 9:43:13 AM 4/18/07 “Good Deal MDS...! Wish someone would buy my lunch! Hope everyone is well. We survived the winds that 'blew' through. Only 4 hours without power, a few limbs in the yard but that is all. Some folks won't have power till the end of the week. Thankfully there is no snow or ice associated with this storm!” 9:44:59 AM 4/18/07 “Afternoon, folks. I actually had to work today, so I'm not posting until now. The rain is off and on here, and its darned cold! What's up with that? I need to get out in my garden and finish pulling all the weeds, and get mulch down. I'm finally feeling the babe kick, or at least now I'm recognizing it as that and not a nasty case of gas. Though, G would argue that point. :) Hope you all had a good day.” 3:08:50 PM 4/18/07 “Hey, it was great seeing you Michael. I wish I had more work in your town. I'm trying. Maybe I'll get to come up there more often.” 3:17:26 PM 4/18/07 “Smiley, isn't that they most amazing feeling in the world??? I remember when they started moving the sensation kinda like butterflies... makes me smile even now to think of it! Enjoy it ...even the not so good times. I wish I had treasured it more than I did.” 4:28:01 PM 4/18/07 “Good morning...hoping you feel better today, Sass...did chocolate help? forget that. dumb question. chocolate always helps. Sounds like you're really excited getting kicked in the belly, smiley girl...cool...not everyone can say that...LOL... When does the move take place, Chappy... crazygurl...maybe the weather will finally cut you a break...bet you could use a day of windless sun... quiet around here...40 and cloudy...our temps are seasonal now...highs in the low 60's, nights above freezing buy definitely not warm...guess what tomorrow is!” 5:16:03 AM 4/19/07 “Is it time for bed yet???” 5:49:50 AM 4/19/07 “I'm fairly sure its time to go back to bed. My folks are coming back to Michigan today, I guess winter is officially over. They're spending the night with us tonight, and I'm looking forward to seeing them. Should be a nice day here, and G should get more baseball games in. I'm working a half day today. Enjoy, everyone.” 6:10:11 AM 4/19/07 Morning All “Treebait......I'll be packin boxes I haven't unpacked from the last move, lol....who knows what lies about......... MH, I'll move on June 7th/8th............it will take me about an hour to get my 'puter up or I'll just get on the one in my new office and post from there (which will happen alot in the following years).....but since the parsonage is on the backside of the church, my office will be in two rooms about 50 yards apart.... :) Oh, It's about 50 outside and some clouds but no rain I don't think, still too dark to tell............. last edited: 4/19/07 6:13:57 AM” 6:11:46 AM 4/19/07 “Sun's up; weather's nice... The Exploder is going in for a check-up in a few minutes. Let's hope the $200 'found items' can be held to a dull roar.” 6:37:52 AM 4/19/07 “BLAM!!!!!” 6:53:12 AM 4/19/07 “Goodmorning! Mata, what helped most was a good sleep last night. And the sun is shining today and I can spend all day doing what I want instead of trying to fit four people in all on the same hour (why does everyone want the same time?!). My list: plant six rose bushes at Ab's school, get the propane tank refilled at the local hardware, go to the product market and spend about twenty five dollars on five grocery bags full of goodness, cook a wonderful meal for tonight and work in my yard. Oh, go to home depot and use my buy one get one shrub coupon before it expires. Viburnum is what I'm after, for the birdies. It should be a good day. Hope you all have a good one too.” 6:59:31 AM 4/19/07 “instead of trying to fit four people in all on the same hour (why does everyone want the same time?!). Tell me about it! All my patients want the first hour of the day. I'm even going in an hour early to fit more morning visits in. It's wonderful here! Sunny and in the 50s. I have to mow today or go buy a goat.” 7:03:59 AM 4/19/07 “I'm not going to say anything about the Shrub Coupon... 'BLAM' Yourself, mArKo --” 7:04:15 AM 4/19/07 “you want a shrub coupon too. Admit it! You guys ever see Ron White do stand up? I can't say coupon anymore. Now it's Ron's way, COO-pin. =)” 7:12:56 AM 4/19/07 Jump to Page << prev
