Col. Hannibal Smith used to say that. Always had that white coat and black gloves. I saw one of those episodes when I was home sick one day. OMG......were they really that cheesy when I was 14?” 6:33:44 PM 3/26/09 “Just about as cheesy as Buck Rogers was back in the day. Dang cats plus lots of congestion kept me up last night. My in-laws are in town for the next week, so I'll be cleaning house, getting Laurel ready for another girl scout sleepover and dealing with them on about 3-4 hours of sleep. Caffeine, sometimes I hate you.” 4:11:44 AM 3/27/09 “,,,speaking of cats...my daughter I am here with has 3 cats & they all have BELLS on... ...I got the h3ll scared out of me this am when my other daughter came through the front door...they were a little late...they were listening to "Twilight" on cd & instead of heading toward Cincinatti on I-71 they just kept going North on I-65....and ended up in Indiana.... ...my son & I were playing a game on the way here...( banana...you call out "banana" when you see a yellow vehicle...and keep score...a yellow hummer is an automatic win)...so...we missed our turn from I-265 to I-71...( do I see a pattern forming???) very unusual for me to miss a turn...but we stopped & got a map ( which sucked) and retraced our steps to the highway... ...so in the car for 17 hours yesterday....17....Ken ( my 23 yr old son) & I had a nice trip...he was so kind to me...handing me cough drops...tissues...cough medicine...I am sick of this...I am going to ask to be sent to an Eye, Ear, throat & nose Dr...I really need to breathe!!!...my lips are chapped...my nose is getting sore...and I spent most the trip with a tissue shoved up my nostrils...and I hurt from coughing!!! ..I left 75 degree weather...it is cold here!!!! ...RichB...as always, lots of prayers & good wishes...you are so brave!!!! ...SG...those times are precious with the little ones...they grow up so fast!!! ...I HATE the reason we are together....but I LOVE the fact that for 2 days I get to be with all 3 of my kids & granddaughter!!! ...and knowing that when my ex mother-in-law died, she was welcomed by those who went before her... her mother, father, brother, & two daughters who were all killed in a car wreck, her husband of over 50 years, and her nephew, who died of cancer last winter...what a joyful reunion... ...Sass....GREAT costume!!! ..ya'll have a GREAT day... last edited: 3/27/09 4:46:34 AM” 5:07:10 AM 3/27/09 “Divinity, a combination of zyrtec and mucinex has cleared up everything in the last hour. Amazing.” 5:09:37 AM 3/27/09 “...a new plan...mucinex & sudafed....” 5:19:19 AM 3/27/09 “Thank you Divinity. It was more fun than I anticipated. I like to think of funerals as a chance to celebrate the person who has passed, with friends and familys. Enjoy your time with your family! Working today for a friend, so she can go away for the weekend. Then Brownies (cue scarey music) Have a great Friday! PS, Birch called last night; he passed his 9 hour land nav test w/ flying colors. They started at 1:30am. His friend he rode down w/ did not and got sent home. =( We are 49% done w/ this trip, YAY!! last edited: 3/27/09 5:07:09 AM” 5:21:20 AM 3/27/09 “Lol Sass, I can see Birch teaching some of the instructors a few new tricks. I wish the grey foggy rainy weather would clear out of here. It's supposed to last through tomorrow night, too. I don't care who comes to town. On Sunday, it's supposed to be mostly clear, and I'll be out back catching some rays.” 10:48:54 AM 3/27/09 “Divinity.....make sure its an eye, EYE, ear, nose and throat Dr.” 11:57:04 AM 3/27/09 “Treebait, I would gladly give you our sunshine today. I planned this room cleaning business for a RAINY day and now he weatherman has changed his tune. The sun is blazing and who wants to clean?! Birch said he's learning loads. All the men he's in a team with are much more experienced. He says he hasn't learned so much in the Army to date. At least he's not wasting his time!” 5:35:31 AM 3/28/09 “Coolness, Sass. Well, no new fishes for me today. I was looking for a medium dark soragoi (blue-gray) and none were to be had. Actually there was one good fish, but it had a big notch out of one fin and that won't do. We're supposedly going to get sunshine tomorrow, Sass. It's been raining for a few hours here, nice and steady. I did hydroplane a couple of times on the way home, though. That was a little scary but nothing me and my car can't handle. It's the other twips on the road I worry about. HPM's over at his parents' fixer-upper. They're having home made hamburgers today, but they're using beef they bought at the commissary back in Florida; guaranteed heartburn and indigestion, as well as shutting me down for the rest of the afternoon. I think I'll put my rain gear on and go play out in the garden. :)” 11:02:16 AM 3/28/09 “it's a beautiful day here too, but i hiked a short one yesterday so i have committed myself to this sorting, throwing or packing thing.” 2:30:51 PM 3/28/09 “Well, no sunshine today. We're supposed to drop from 47° (right now), to snow by 2pm. I don't want any snooow! My lilac has leaves, snow just isn't right. Oh well, all my work for the weekend is done so I guess it'll be a day of trying to finish a knit bunny for my pregnant friend. IF I can figure out how to do a bar increase from watching you tube videos. Wish me luck....will probably be more stress than the room cleaning yesterday, lol. Happy Sunday all.” 5:00:02 AM 3/29/09 “My big chore is detailing my wife's car. I may get to jog on the beach.” 8:17:24 AM 3/29/09 “Going to the mongolian BBQ to meet G's sister for lunch. Yummy!!! Then, its back to dishes, laundry, and homework. E's not quite right today, so it'll be tough to get much done. Happy gray sunday!” 9:18:30 AM 3/29/09 “mongolian bbq rocks my mouth!” 9:28:30 AM 3/29/09 “Mmmmm, Mongolian barbecue sounds much better than the doorstop-like roast beef I'm expected to eat in about an hour. Bleah. Did the garden weeding, now the rest of the yard needs it. Corn derived pre emergent weed control works well, but you have to time it just right or it doesn't do anything besides fertilize the dang seedlings. Judging from my neighbors yard (they use regular chemicals) it's the same story for stuff put down by "professionals."” 9:36:43 AM 3/29/09 “I only had two bowls. E was crabby enough that I couldn't manage getting up for a third. Still rain here, waiting for the snow to start. :( Thankfully it won't last long.” 12:30:43 PM 3/29/09 “Crab E ?” 12:31:52 PM 3/29/09 “The roast beef was edible yet awful. I did my duty and ate it, although 2 hours later I'm still in pain from it. Now I'm trying to finish up the other gardening chores I have. I thought I picked up a pot of chives. Alas, they were leek seedlings. Now I have to plant about 75 leeks all over the damn place because I didn't have a spot set aside for them. Oh well, they keep bugs away. The first of the tomatoes are in now. The Jerusalem artichokes that I didn't dig up last fall are all over the damned place. I thought I got them. I'll never grow them again. I have to pot up my Thai basil, and the Provence Lavender I picked up. Plus a yellow/ green marigold that looked so cheerful it had to come home with me. I just wish the wind would die down. If i don't go with solar panels eventually, I could easily go with wind power. Yikes.” 1:12:19 PM 3/29/09 “I wish I had more room to garden. I'd like a bigger variety of things. I do hope its a good tomato year. Last year they got some kind of blight. Yucky. Marko, LOL! Still working on my unit test and study guide....almost done. Bad thing is I'm very shaky and feeling awful tonight. Its been getting worse. Probably time to increase the meds. Lost my bloodwork order, though, so I have to call for a new one.” 7:04:05 PM 3/29/09 “Im home im tired i have to go to work” 4:41:07 AM 3/30/09 “Latta people missing.” 5:15:00 AM 3/30/09 “SG, make sure you plant your tomatoes in a different spot this year. Usually the "Blights" are in the soil. Good Morning! I snuck some purple peeps in Abby's lunch box this morning. I love giving my kid candy; does that make me a bad parent? Only one apt today so I should get loads of outside time. Our snow is already melting and it'll be 46° today so it won't be here long. Going to try and get more firewood today and a long walk. Have a good Monday!” 5:22:52 AM 3/30/09 “I have to say I like HPM's new employer. He started today, but just received payment for today and tomorrow. :)” 1:39:26 PM 3/30/09 “...good morning!!!... ...strong system coming in today...4-6 inches of rain coming....some are still flooding here.... ...I like Tuesdays.....I survived the quick trip to Ohio...2200 miles...40 hours in the car...a million cough drops, tissues, & coughing.... ...I'm feeling a little better....just some sniffles...and a few coughs...my daughter in Ohio talked me into using her neti pot...it was awesome...now if I can find one... ..Lee's dad is better...his #s are coming down....yesterday he was not restrained & was talking a bit... ...still need prayers!!! ...have a GREAT day!!!” 3:26:08 AM 3/31/09 “Ugh, this actually waking and driving into the office again thing is going to take some getting used to.” 4:34:37 AM 3/31/09 “Divinity, I found my Sinu cleanse one at the drug store (CVS to be exact). Glad Lee's dad is better. 52° today! I heart spring.” 5:04:11 AM 3/31/09 “68 for the high here today, but mostly cloudy. That may be a good thing, given the rather painful sunburn I got yesterday. I forgot the aha facial products and sun exposure don't mix. I need to go get the oil changed in my car today. It's well past time. Hope everyone has a good day.” 5:14:01 AM 3/31/09 “I hate oil change time. I'm due for transmission flush and fill. Friday I'm going to the drive thru place. I don't care if it costs $15 more; I'll be outta there in five minutes! And I'm doing the oil at the same time too just so I don't have to go back for a few months.” 5:26:50 AM 3/31/09 “Good morning, it's supposed to be 60 and sunny later today. After being in the 30's and windy yesterday it'll feel like a heat wave. I went hiking 3 out the last 4 days. Today will be warm enough to ride the bike outside so when it warms up later I'll take it out for a spin. Divinity, good to hear Lee's father is doing better.” 5:38:42 AM 3/31/09 “I got the oil changed, the chassis lubed, and a bunch of other automotive stuff done. All of the weird noises have now disappeared.” 9:52:56 AM 3/31/09 “I've got a bad strut or two....my car sounds awful. My husband does not seem interested in fixing it anytime soon. :( 3 days until spring break....Hey Sass, if I end up going to G's parents house, I'll let you know. (Going to pick up play "food" for Evie.) I might visit my neighbors at my old condo.” 4:32:00 PM 3/31/09 Smiley Girl “I have been a mechanic for most of my adult life. If you car is making bad sounds, its probably not your struts.” 4:41:02 PM 3/31/09 “ok...so I go to the ear, eyes, nose & throat dr....it is NOT in my mind...I am sick :)....nice to know huh???...so I go to the pharmacy to get the meds.... $104.00 for the nasal spray....WTH???...so we are waiting to hear from insurance co....maybe they will pay some of it...meanwhile..I'll take the antibiotics and go buy a neti pot....he says if my sinuses don't drain, he will have to do it...doesn't sound pretty does it???...” 6:49:47 PM 3/31/09 “Car sounds like its going to fall apart - kinda squeaky by the passenger's front tire. DH is pretty mechanical, and thinks that's what it is. He promises me my car won't fall apart on my 35 mile drive to work. :) Div, glad to hear you know what's going on. Feel better!” 6:58:39 PM 3/31/09 “lol..thanks SG ...I sure hope it doesn't fall apart!!!” 7:07:22 PM 3/31/09 “I will be curious to know what it is when you get it fixed. What kind of car and year?” 7:07:29 PM 3/31/09 “Good Morning!!!! it is Wed & I have 3 days of work until the weekend....& I have soo much to do..... ...last night Lee's dad asked for a burger & coke!!!...woooo hoooo!!!!! ...ya'll have a great day!!!!” 3:14:06 AM 4/01/09 “Awesome! Watch out for April Fools today. I just got chastised for NOT trying to fool the kid.” 5:16:07 AM 4/01/09 “SG, that's kind of what my car does. If I'm making a turn and there's also an incline something around the front wheels makes a noise somewhere between a wonk and a squeak. I thought the noises were all gone, but they're just greatly reduced. Any ideas what does that, Nemster? It's another grey, rainy day here. I'm pretty sick of those myself. I'm trying to clean the place up, but I'm losing the battle. Now I get to go scoop the litter boxes. Bleah.” 5:37:35 AM 4/01/09 “We have SUN! Think it's a tie rod?” 6:26:01 AM 4/01/09 “Perhaps it's a CV Joint if it's front drive, Treebait.” 6:28:35 AM 4/01/09 “LOL. I'm a mechanic not a phsycic. If I heard it I could tell you. A strut is just a shock absober, its unlikely they will make noise. Could be the wear indicator on the brake pads, bearings.....there are several things it could be. Wish I could hear it and help you out.” 6:36:32 AM 4/01/09 “Another rainy day WOW!... Took a walk in the rain with a friend last night. Her dad has a huge farm/land area off the lake and we put on our rain jackets and just went for a stroll to chat. I had forgotten how much fun it is just to walk and listen to the rain hit your rain gear....” 6:46:09 AM 4/01/09 “Mad dogs and Englishmen......” 6:50:30 AM 4/01/09 “Yep, MarkO, Subaru all wheel drive. HPM thinks cv joint repairs suck. I prefer my car problem to the one HPM's car developed, though. Something in the left front wheel assembly makes a loud HRUM HRUM HRUM noise. Not fun.” 6:53:42 AM 4/01/09 “Good morning, rain on the way for today. It's dark now and looks like rain any minute. I went for a bike ride outside last evening. I'm spoiled now and don't want to ride on the trainer again. I hope it stays warm enough to ride outside. Divinity, sounds like you have a sinus infection. That's a lot of money for that spray. I hope you can find a better deal and that they work out.” 7:00:27 AM 4/01/09 “Hope its something simple. Cv joints are pretty easy except on a 4 wheel drive ford truck. Some door knob likes to engineer fords to have to need special tools for things.” 7:10:32 AM 4/01/09 “It's a racket! A racket I tell ya!” 7:12:13 AM 4/01/09 “So does Toyota. Found that out by watching my brother in law trying to rebuild the engine for his MR2.” 7:12:42 AM 4/01/09 Jump to Page << prev
