I've only gotten to work on a real live pregnant lady 1x so far"...upon re-reading I saw she must have been referring to smiley girl and was releaved to know stovie wasn't preggers...now THAT would have been an unusual side effect of a stroke... Do you think I might need more coffee?” 5:27:13 AM 5/24/07 “I'm with you on that.... More Caffeine! (it's a Corporate Buzz, so noooooo problem)” 6:43:49 AM 5/24/07 “wow...another beautiful day in Lower Alabama.....a nice forcast of possible showers (and that is only a slight chance..) and a high of 86...not too bad!!! ...off to the library today!!!....so many books...so little time!!! ...our local store doesn't have any lard, so I thought I would try the local butcher shop.... ...I had a dream that my soon to be 21 yr old son was small and I was warning him not to touch the poison ivy on a tree...maybe it means more.....I heard he got another tatoo...(sigh)...kids....( I don't have a problem with tats..I have a problem with tats in visable places on young folks....and how it will effect their chance at getting jobs...)...hey...I'm a mom.....but I love him no matter what..I have endured alot worse...like 3" red spikes in his hair!!!...he is such a neat kid!!!..oh...this isn't the bragging on your kid thread??...oops....( I have such GREAT kids!!) :)” 6:51:26 AM 5/24/07 “Nope, talking to Smiley (SG). Darn HOT here again! High of 88° today and WTH?! it's supposed to rain Friday and Saturday!! Don't they know we have stuff to do?? I put a frozen water bottle in the bunny's hutch yesterday. That rabbit is smart, he lay right along side that bottle all afternoon. And yet, our A/C is still wrapped up from winter. I'd rather hear the birds sing anyways. Have a great day all.” 6:57:39 AM 5/24/07 “Suet is fat from cows or sheep. Tallow is made from suet. Lard comes from pigs. Another gorgeous day in mid Michigan. I turn 49 today! and this weekwend, my kids are taking me camping!” 7:01:14 AM 5/24/07 “Looks like its going to be a scorcher here today. Speaking of poison ivy. I can't believe I am not covered with it. It was all over our campsite and I was all in it collecting wood.” 7:02:50 AM 5/24/07 “Wow Sass that is hot for Mich.....what is your humidity???? we are going to have 86...BUT...like 90% humidity...” 7:04:08 AM 5/24/07 “LeSubtil, that sounds wonderful. Happy Birthday friend.” 7:04:53 AM 5/24/07 “Good morning, another hot day here too, but it's nice bike riding weather, especially the evenings. Happy birthday! Le Subtil” 7:07:47 AM 5/24/07 “Happy Birthday le Subtil.....49 isn't old :)” 7:09:35 AM 5/24/07 “Divinity, not too much humidity here just yet, thank goodness! I'll admit, we did turn the AC on last night for a little while. I have a feeling I'll be using the AC a LOT this summer! Subbing again today, but there are 3 8th grade teachers out today (of 6) and I think its going to be very crazy here. I plan to be a total b!tch today, and the kids know me well enough to expect that. :) So glad to see LS posting! Have a great day!” 7:12:39 AM 5/24/07 Good Morning All............... “It's 69 outside and looks like a cold front is moving in from the northwest. Gotta pack some more boxes, take dog #2 to vets, and get some more boxes............... Where's Nimblefoot?????” 7:34:58 AM 5/24/07 “SG....I subbed ONCE in 8th grade...ONCE......you are a brave girl!!!!!” 7:36:56 AM 5/24/07 “Good question Chappy. He's probably up to no good somewhere. =) Divinity, 68% humidity thus far today...not too bad. Hyway, I am feeling the same way right now. I was all over that stuff when hunting shrooms Sunday. I even stuck my hand directly in it to get a nice rock. I have one spot. It's a miracle!!” 7:40:39 AM 5/24/07 “Don't they know we have stuff to do?? Who are They? The Weather Gods? .... the Nat'l Weather Service? LOL Hav-a-Happy, LS! (I gotcha by 5 months and I'm older than dirt, VBG)” 7:45:53 AM 5/24/07 “Yes Tilt, all of the above and Mother Nature, God....the clouds..... =)” 7:49:57 AM 5/24/07 “Greetings from Poughkeepsie, NY. I was in Syracuse yesterday. The drive down here was really pretty. We skirted the edge of the Catskills. It had me wondering where in the heck does lumber live. I will likely have to come back to Syracuse in about 4-5 weeks.” 9:24:29 PM 5/24/07 “It's not nice to switch the butter on Mother Nature! (hmmm... none of you rookies ever saw that commercial, did you? VBG) Hey DH! Whatchu doin' on this thread at 10:30 at night? Forget to wind your watch? ;-)” 9:31:34 PM 5/24/07 “go to bed and wake up........then post.......” 9:59:38 PM 5/24/07 “I guess it's still too early for the insomniac thread.” 10:08:08 PM 5/24/07 “Nope, I'm here. Aches and pains keeping me up. Just waiting for the ibuprofin to kick in....” 10:15:12 PM 5/24/07 “Count me in, I'm here too. I hope your pain meds work soon and you feel better.” 10:20:39 PM 5/24/07 “Thanks RichB. It's nothing horrible just sore muscles and stuff from working in the yard. I'll live to work another day, lol.” 10:30:25 PM 5/24/07 “When you get to eat your fresh vegetables from your garden, it'll make all those pains seem worth it.” 10:34:36 PM 5/24/07 Hugs. “Hugs. Cheers. le Subtil - Happy Birthday. Next year you'll start your Golden Years. It's an experience you don't want to miss. But you can practice this year. Just do something special each day. A little time sitting in a park, flowers for your friends and relatives, a nice tip for the bagboy, lots of smiles for all your loved ones, etc. It can be fun to see what a difference you can make in the lives of others. Enjoy many long years of pleasures.” 6:18:44 AM 5/25/07 “A nippy 43 when I woke up this morning...going to meet up with Prosecutor in a half hour. I'm helping him shuttle his car...he's doing 4 nights on the Ice Age Trail...at least it's not raining today...I may join them for a bag night tonight...I shall snag them the campsite they want anyway so they can enjoy their hike around here...” 6:57:07 AM 5/25/07 “good mornin'... supposed to be 80 or 90 here today...and when I leave work I get to go sit in an auditorium for hours watching dress rehearsal...I don't like the heat anyway!” 7:00:30 AM 5/25/07 “aches & pains......I know about that!!! le Subtil.....next year ya can get your AARP card and save on hotels & stuff....wooo hooo....but sorry...no senior coffee until ya are 55 :( well....we kick off the holiday weekend today at noon...wooo hoooo....rumor has it we are going to paint the house...woo ohooooo...any one wanna help??....we will feed ya!!!..we are grilling steaks too!!!....Lee makes the BEST steaks EVER!!!!.. ..we will be blessed next week with a 9 year old...wooo hoooo!!..gonna take her to see alligators, and carnivorous plants, and shell hunting.....and maybe I can get some work out of her!!!...lol...I have plants to repot and a butterfly garden to make!!!!! ...Ya'll have a safe and fun weekend!!!...will be waiting for trip reports!!!!!.. ...hugs!!!...” 7:02:22 AM 5/25/07 “Good morning, it's going to be hot here too, maybe record breaking heat. I don't have air conditioning to retreat to, unless I go for a ride in the car. Have a safe and fun weekend!” 7:16:42 AM 5/25/07 “Cheap motel rooms are okay I guess, but I want those Cheap Campsites!! When does that Golden Age Passport kick in? [VBG]” 7:21:08 AM 5/25/07 “Morning. Rainy day here, and I'm sitting on the couch, contemplating a nap. I"m already showered up for the day, G needed me to run to the store to get something for his chemistry class today. Its amazing things always work out for him at the last minute. Plenty of work to do here, including cooking and freezing some food for our impending kitchen remodel project. I CANNOT wait to have a dishwasher! Have a great day, everyone. Stay cool and dry!” 7:26:43 AM 5/25/07 “morning all........65 here.......next year I will qualify for my seniors coffee card and hotel rooms, park passes, NF passes, all kinds of goodies....whoopee........” 7:26:51 AM 5/25/07 Tilt “Age 62, cost $10, good for life. . last edited: 5/25/07 7:33:33 AM” 7:31:34 AM 5/25/07 “You seniors get all the goodies. I sure hope I make it that far. We broke our record for heat yesterday; it reached 90°. Today, high of 77°. Hoping that rain holds off long enough for me to get just ten feet of pathway laid. It's pretty interesting trying to find just the right rock, like a gigantic, heavy jigsaw. After my cereal and coffee I'm out there. You guys won't see me again unless it's lunch or it rains. Have a great Friday everyone!” 7:43:19 AM 5/25/07 “I've got a while left to wait on that.... < grrrrrrrrrrrr >” 7:43:58 AM 5/25/07 “no too far..... lol...hahahahahahaaaaa” 8:32:47 AM 5/25/07 “Far enough, I guess! LOL” 8:37:35 AM 5/25/07 “I finally just now turned on the computer for the day. Isn't the rock jigsaw puzzle a blast, Sass? I loved putting together my walkway last time. Of course having shade trees helped a heck of a lot too. I just got back from a trip to the south end of the county. Why does the traffic always suck on northbound I 77 through Charlotte? THe southbound isn't nearly as bad, even when backed up.” 11:40:08 AM 5/25/07 “Yes it is! I've just noticed that I have an abundance of triangle shaped pieces. I see a sun or compass rose in my patio's future (if I can manage it). Did I mention lately my back hurts? ;)I am truly thankful for two wheeled dollies!” 1:51:22 PM 5/25/07 “nowslimmer would second that 'thankful for two wheeled dollies'.....hell he'll take em if they got no wheels..........or legs......” 4:32:33 PM 5/25/07 4:42:45 PM 5/25/07 “I'll take the bronze bird please, no green patina. Geez, you guys sleeping in or gone to the wilds?” 6:52:24 AM 5/26/07 “Sleeping.” 7:35:15 AM 5/26/07 “yawn.....my head hurts. darn vodka heading to a Powwow today. super excited” 7:42:46 AM 5/26/07 “ugh.............am i awake? somsething to eat//////drink/......” 8:01:10 AM 5/26/07 “I can only speak for m'self, but.... not completely gone; just a little bit "off" (har har). Do they still make Cocoa Puffs? I wasn't really impressed with the neckties on that site (I've collected 4 or 5 of those over the years), but there were a few t-shirts I've never seen anywhere else: Birds, Dragon. I was thinking $33 a pop was a bit steep for a t-shirt, but that does include shipping, at least! Then there are about 10 or 12 posters ---- I think I need more walls, LOL  (click for larger image) But don't you think the "Earth and Sky" pattern would make for a Great Patio? It might be a little more work, but Hey!” 8:14:43 AM 5/26/07 “Back at home with a busy weekend. More packing crap to the storage building, painting, cleaning out my side of the closet. My 2nd floor walls were built while i was gone. So far, it looks good. I do think they have the pantry size wrong. I'll have to deal with that. That's one thing the Mrs is going to be picky about. Our current pantry sucks and she seems to be wanting to overcorrect on this house. Oh well, choose your battles and a pantry isn't worthy.” 9:39:07 AM 5/26/07 “Just a little Tilt. Surprisingly, this whole making rocks fit together business isn't as easy as you might think. Now, if I could get up the nerve to break one or two, (I'm certain I'll put my eye out, even with safety glasses), it might be easier, but Escher out of flagstone is best left to the professionals. Mapleleaf, I plan on saying that tomorrow. Birch and I honor our fallen friend by drinking a bottle of 15 year Barbencor Rhum (that's Hatian for rum), with coke every Memorial Day weekend. It was his favorite stuff. =) We toast him often. last edited: 5/26/07 1:00:39 PM” 12:57:50 PM 5/26/07 “I join you in that sentiment. After a quick bit of research, it sounds like you might want to try a small splash of that in a brandy snifter! That Escher project could be a sizable one, to be sure. I was just imagining how snazzy it would look done in marble and obsidian... about 10 feet across (but no one would want to walk on it, [G]).” 2:17:50 PM 5/26/07 “Wow, that stuff is $44 online. Must be really smooth.” 6:44:31 PM 5/26/07 Jump to Page << prev
