I got enough of military life with my dad being Navy. That comes from being in the surf/skate culture as a teen. You might be thinking of the Army and Hooah. last edited: 3/22/09 7:45:41 AM” 8:03:30 AM 3/22/09 “Good morning, I had an excellent hike yesterday and the weather couldn't have been better. I'm going for another hike after lunch. Not as long as yesterday's hike since I won't have as much time. Pam, sounds like a good move, especially since it costs the same as the old apartment.” 8:08:59 AM 3/22/09 “Heya Rich, I'm glad you had a good hike, enjoy today's hike as well. Yes, it is going to be a good move. :O)” 10:35:12 AM 3/22/09 “So nice to see you on the good foot, Pammie.” 10:42:51 AM 3/22/09 “i'm trying to be. how are you today MarkO?” 10:46:30 AM 3/22/09 “I am at work on a very nice day................58 and sunny. This is the first day after Spring Break and it's quiet so far.” 10:56:41 AM 3/22/09 “you had spring break already? i sorted through so much paper that i can now see the top of my desk. it needs dusting. this stuff would kill my shredder. maybe a bonfire? i still have another drawer and a trunk of it. i did two loads of laundry yesterday, and bagged up a few more pieces of clothing i will never wear again. i cleaned out a few drawers in my bathroom and trashed a lot of junk there. i really need a hike today but it's drizzling and cold. what to do what to do.... i'll start with another coffee... last edited: 3/22/09 10:45:34 AM” 11:04:02 AM 3/22/09 “Cold in California?? What have you done with the real Pammie?” 11:06:19 AM 3/22/09 “We were closed last Sunday so I had a nice three-day weekend in West Virginia 13-15th. Break Week was quiet here last week.” 11:08:10 AM 3/22/09 “our spring break is april 6th through the 10th. and Pammie is ALWAYS COLD!!! ok, she's warm in august, september and early october.” 11:20:37 AM 3/22/09 “If I get out there in November it will be too late, huh? last edited: 3/22/09 11:37:31 AM” 11:43:30 AM 3/22/09 “LOL! that kind of heat i can always muster.” 11:45:08 AM 3/22/09 “if i burn all this old paperwork, i'm going to have to start taking it out of the windowpane envelopes. damn.” 11:54:43 AM 3/22/09 “A pane in the azz?” 11:57:20 AM 3/22/09 “or is that windowpane made of cornstarch these days? doggone it, i have a huge bag of this old paperwork, bills, etc.” 12:03:35 PM 3/22/09 “tell me about the starchy corn” 1:58:36 PM 3/22/09 “Good Morning!!! ...back to work today...yuck... ...Lee's dad is improving...he pulled out a drain tube, his stomach tube & his oxegen tube...( while restrained)...he recognized us Saturday...still groggy and in pain...and still not out of the woods... ...sad news...my ex mother-in-law of 25 yrs is not doing well...her body is shutting down...she was a great woman and my mother for 25 yrs....so I will be heading to Ohio soon with my kids... ...RichB good to hear your out & about!!! ...good to hear ya found a place dizzy... ...hugs!!!!!” 3:29:42 AM 3/23/09 “I can't believe it's Monday already. Ugh. Good thoughts for all those who need them. One week until HPM starts his new job. I'll miss him working from home. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be nice and dry weather-wise, then 4 wet days. I'd better try to finish up all the outdoor stuff quickly. Hell, I don't do anything quickly these days. ;P” 3:56:01 AM 3/23/09 “Good morning! Sounds like everyone had good news over the weekend. Pamela, I'm so glad you will have such a lovely home. Now the packing!! B has the day off today, but not me. We'll be going separate ways in a few. Wish I had today off too. Birch called this morning and is doing well. He went for a five mile run punctuated by stops to identify different vehicles this morning. Right about the time you all are going to be getting all that rain down there, he'll be doing a nine hour land nav test. Starts at 2am. (yuck) Have a good day.” 5:55:03 AM 3/23/09 “good morning.. I spent the weekend spring cleaning. you never know how dirty your kitchen is until you really look. 6 hours to clean it. mind you, I did the stove, fridge, all cabnits, fan..I cleaned the heck out of it! now the upstairs..look out dirt! I hate cleaning, but I heart a clean house :)” 6:04:45 AM 3/23/09 “You did the Stove and Fridge? Does Treebeard know of this? Good morning, rainy and very windy day, but the weather has been great for the past several. My son and I drug a lot of old pallets, a couple of cabinets and some paneling out of the barn on Saturday; sat around a roaring bonfire that night, drinking beer and listening to music.” 6:50:42 AM 3/23/09 “morning all. that's good news on Buddy Divinity, ya gotta love a fighter! i understand about those tubes, once i woke up in ICU and pulled out my tubes; they restrained me after that too, so i did it again. sorry to hear about your ex mom in law. thank you Sass. i won't have the day off either, and after work everyday i'll come home and find some more stuff to sort and pack. i went through a lot of paperwork already, we are going to have a nice fire when i am done, LOL! a five mile run? yowsa! i won't run until someone is chasing me. hey mapes, is that spring fever you've got? you should fly out here and clean my kitchen instead. oh, never mind, since they are bulldozing the whole lot, we're not even doing it!” 9:11:08 AM 3/23/09 “Dang..............Maple!! I C U, Dizzee! What about The Fridge? (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!)” 9:36:46 AM 3/23/09 “i betcha fridge LOVED being all cleaned up like that!” 9:45:39 AM 3/23/09 “You're forgetting about "stove". It was one of those menage thingees.” 9:47:52 AM 3/23/09 “mornin'... COMPLETELY forgot the kid's report on Harriet Tubman, and didn't look in her school bag until this morning...ARGH! Yep, we've had this thing for a month, and I did have faith that she was working on it at her moms, but should have known better... total melt down this am...” 11:49:04 AM 3/23/09 twig “had the same thing happen with my son and an AP history essay.. He had it for a week, I took him camping from Sat morning - Sun morning. Drop him off at his mom's with instructions to get it written before she got home.. We even discussed the essay on the way to and from SNP.. Last night I get a call from his mom saying that he didn't have it done and that it was my fault because we went camping... (didn't have anything to do with the hours that he sits playing that freakin' rock band game...) '32oz” 11:55:50 AM 3/23/09 “Camping will lead to ruination, Two Pint. Twigeater, it must be yo fault.” 12:01:13 PM 3/23/09 “so that's what divorce is like with kids? i'll wait until Brian is grown and gone and then i'll have nothing to do with the man at all.” 10:41:08 PM 3/23/09 ““You're forgetting about "stove". It was one of those menage thingees.” Nimblefoot 12:47:52 PM 3/23/09 Haha, and what about table, he loves getting wiped down ... wait a minute ... umm, nevermind, we don't have a table here.” 2:20:02 AM 3/24/09 “...good morning... ...woke up from a nap yesterday hacking, wheezing & coughing...and this am I feel like crap...my head is pounding...glands swollen...coughing...so do I call into work or cough all over everyone???..Lee's sister has pnumonia...neice is sick all the time...sitting in a small freezing waiting room for a week with them ...I guess I need to go to my DR... ...ya'll have a GREAT day....” 3:16:36 AM 3/24/09 “Feel better Divinity. Today I have to sew wires into the quetzel costume tail feathers, work at school for 1 1/2 hours, and clean up around here. Piles of gear and laundry everywhere!! I think I'll squeeze a nice run or walk in too. You guys have a good one.” 5:18:33 AM 3/24/09 “...good morning...I think I'll go to work today and get everyone sick...I have to pick up rental car...& head North...my ex mother-in-law passed away yesterday...she was an awesome woman.. ...Lee's dad is doing better....his liver is not functioning fully, so the DR is worried ...he is still so groggy...he wants to get up & walk...never was one to lay around!!!...he is still listed as critical...maybe he will be in a regular room by the weekend....that will be nice ..no more freezing waiting room...I'm not going up for awhile...don't want him to get my crud.... ...ya'll have a GREAT day!!!! ...the rain is here....I hope I don't have to drive all 1000 miles tomarrow in the rain!!!” 2:32:02 AM 3/25/09 “You too Divinity. Well, Today is the talking zoo. Birch has our camera, of course, so I'm stuck w/ a video camera I can't seem to download any movies or pictures from. Maybe I'll try again this afternoon. The costume turned out great. Found out last night that University of Kansas (NOT recommended for Ca treatment), has given up on my uncle. He's got a tumor in his throat and his leukemia has come back full force. Last week they were talking about how great he was doing and how he'd be going home soon and now they want to send in hospice and give him 2 weeks to live. I wish they would've gotten a second opinion a long time ago. =( I hope he lives a few months at least. Ed is his name, please pray for the family and that his passing will be painless.” 5:07:20 AM 3/25/09 “I'll be thinking of you Sass. Kid found an outfit to her liking and presented her report yesterday...she's normally very responsible where homework is concerned, but put this one off - so no activities for the next two weekends...and I will remember to stay on top of things! Reports and projects are normally done at my house. I'm off to BSP tommorrow for the weekend - last winter trip of the season...can't wait!” 7:54:12 AM 3/25/09 “so sorry Sass :( ... ...ok..I'm going to stop by the hospital & then hit I-65 & head North... ..I sure wish I could breathe!!! ...ya'll have a great week!!! last edited: 3/25/09 4:01:35 PM” 4:21:49 PM 3/25/09 “...ok....so I didn't leave last eve....I went to the hospital...Lee's dad had one of his drain tubes replaced ( he pulled it out a few days ago...he pulled his cathater out the other night OUCH)...they have him sedated so he can get some rest.... ...the other day his nurses left him sitting in a chair for 14 hours...I suggested to Lee's momma that she needed to check into that...his orders say "turn every two hours "...his Dr was not happy about that...lazy people.... ...I didn't go into see him...I am sick and he is sedated...lol...I wish I could breathe through my nose....I can't eat...HEYYYYY...new diet plan!!!..I am sitting here with a tissue rolled up & stuck up each nose hole....attractive huh??? ..I am leaving in a few for Decatur to pick up my son...and then we head North... ...I'm taking my camera....is that weird???...I want some good pics of the family.... ...ya'll have a lovely day!!!!! ...tell someone you love that you love them today!!!!” 1:55:41 AM 3/26/09 “Good moring ya'll arrggggggg...why oh why do I keep waking up at 4:00 am???” 3:14:42 AM 3/26/09 “I hear ya, CD. My answer would be "because of the damn cats." They had a territorial dispute over who got to sleep curled up against me. I'm not a snuggler. Looks like cool with more rain today. I'm glad for the rain. I do wish it would be dry for Saturday, though. I have to run out to Marshville, to visit a friends' koi farm. :) Out neighbor the comic book artist gives us all sorts of goodies; right now I have 4 different Batmen, a Superman with an interchangeable alien head, Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Star Sapphire, some big bad guy named Despero, and assorted other "action figures" staring at me from up on shelves and around the room. It's pretty funny. Oh yeah, and a holidays 2007 Barbie. I just found my missing barbecue cookbook; HPM has it tucked in with various computer and music textbooks. Weird location. Good thoughts for everyone today.” 4:51:20 AM 3/26/09 “Good morning! Here is the bird:  Glad that project is done. I headed out for my walk yesterday to find two guys cutting down a nice dead ash. Quickly turned around and got my little car. Three loads later I scored a very respectable pile of logs that just need to be cut to length. Start of next year's firewood. =) Work this morning and then the vet tech chick I've got an "arrangement" with is coming over to take care of Joe's Dog's butt (impacted anal glands). I just have to give her a 1/2 hour massage. Perfect arrangment! You all have a good day. Divinity, safe travels!” 5:02:09 AM 3/26/09 “(impacted anal glands)........That just sounds like too much fun. Are you excited? LOL. I hope you have a strong stomach because that is going to smell sooooooo bad. :((” 5:12:15 AM 3/26/09 “Hmmmm, massaged anal glands in exchange for a massage?” 5:49:27 AM 3/26/09 “Has Nigal visited lately?” 6:31:08 AM 3/26/09 “What? Nigal is getting his anal glands expressed?” 8:49:13 AM 3/26/09 “Good morning, Sass, the costume looks great. You did an excellent job with it. Divinity, I hope you feel better soon. Rain is moving in for today. I had a PET scan yesterday and I'm glad that over with. Hopefully there's nothing bad on it. That's the last of my tests before I start chemo on April 13. That will last 4 to 6 months, but I won't be on as high of a dose that put me in the hospital last year and made life miserable for 10 months.” 8:54:18 AM 3/26/09 “Tree and Creek Dancer - I'm up at 4Am every morning too. Darned cat. I'm ready to put him outside permanently, and he's not an outdoor cat. I'm playing hookey today from school. G's on spring break, and I wanted to spend time together as a family. We went to the children's museum nearby - it was a lot of fun! E's a bit too young for a lot of things, but she played in the "kitchen" area for a good 1/2 hour and would have stayed longer if we had let her. I'm thinking about buying a membership. I think we're all going to nap soon - and then I'll have to grade papers. End of the marking period has arrived. Awesome costume, Sass! RichB, hope the next round of chemo is better than the last. Sorry you even have to go through it.” 11:51:03 AM 3/26/09 “Nemster, we did a professional trade. I didn't have to see or smell or touch any part of that dog when my friend took care of her issue. I love it when a plan comes together! (Can you remember who used to say that?)” 5:52:31 PM 3/26/09 “The A-Team” 6:04:58 PM 3/26/09 Jump to Page << prev
