All was going well until he had an altercation with a tree. The tree won. Thank goodness for helmets. His face is scrapped up, but nothing broken other than his ego.” 6:15:51 AM 9/20/10 “Ouch. Make sure he gets a new helmet Creek Dancer. Busy week here. Headed to GA for the weekend (driving) and getting the fam ready for another trip. Free Military family day at six flags Saturday! Big Bro is getting his Lt Col. If the middle brother wasn't in basic training we'd all be there. Weather in MI is perfect. Cool and damp. Spent the weekend cleaning up the yard and pulling up all the spent veg plants. Still have a few squashes, kolhrabi, chard, brussels sprouts, carrots and broccolis making food. =) Also hit the gun range for the first time in 18 months. Was lots of fun.” 6:43:58 AM 9/20/10 “Good morning. It looks like I'm the4 first poster today I guess all the night owls are getting old! Have a great day, if you ever wake up.” 3:37:17 AM 9/21/10 “Good morning. It looks like I'm the4 first poster today I guess all the night owls are getting old! Have a great day, if you ever wake up.” 3:37:52 AM 9/21/10 “Another hot day in south Mississippi. Will cooler weather ever get here?” 3:40:33 AM 9/21/10 “wired today.” 4:01:51 AM 9/22/10 “Dry as a bone in the desert here, hence the irrigation. My foot is once again starting to feel normal, after re-injuring it this past weekend. Ugh. HPM and Laurel are both pressuring me to get a bike and go trail riding with them, but after hearing about how often they fall off I'm not that interested. ;P I think it also speaks of the bike trail conditions around here, and what HPM has to do when Laurel suddenly comes to a stop in front of him. I think hiking is safer. I have to rearrange my fish situation before the weekend. The goldfish (getting pretty darn big) are still in the quarantine bin, and a koi breeder I know is opening up his farm for a fish sale this weekend, so...things might get crowded. I think the colony of big ugly frogs living in the bin will have to go, too. Some of them are big enough to be considered appetizer size.” 5:36:03 AM 9/22/10 “Frogs eat insects...when the flies are driving you crazy 'member you sold the frogs! FROG POWER!” 6:28:08 AM 9/22/10 “The frogs also brought the leech infestation along with them.” 6:33:12 AM 9/22/10 “Leechs are medicinal.....no wait...that was the dark ages...never mind.....” 6:54:18 AM 9/22/10 Punish the Leech bearers! “  ”6:55:50 AM 9/22/10 “Lol, that's about it. There used to be a fishing camp we'd go to in the summers somewhere up in Canada. The frogs got HUGE there. The owners would have me running around catching all these huge frogs, then they'd chop their legs off and throw the still living frogs into the water. I stopped catching 'em pretty quickly after witnessing that.” 7:34:25 AM 9/22/10 “Goood Morning! Off to work today. Got a raise at the hospital (yay), going to Atlanta to see my brothers and to six flags after work! Yall have a great weekend!” 4:28:32 AM 9/23/10 “Have fun, Sass! More heat here. It should be around 93. I'm glad there was morning dew; the mowing crews got started right at 7 am, and struck a bunch of sparks when they hit the curb. Sparks were flying everywhere, especially into the tinder-dry grass. If there's a fire around the area this morning, I'll know how it started.” 4:33:36 AM 9/23/10 “the weekend has begun” 5:28:42 AM 9/24/10 “Ariana has been playing field hockey - now that her legs are used to running it's her ankle that bothers her. Coach keeps futting her in as a forward which means lots of running that hurts her ankle. I guess two or three of the girls at one practice cried because their ankles/shins hurt. Last night he was going to put her in as forward, and she came over to me crying... Another girl tripped someone and felt so bad she cried...I just want to say "there's no crying in baseball!" or whatever sport. We tied one game and won the other. After the "good game" line the girls from the other team were running off cracking up laughing, and I wondered why. Turns out they'd spit on their hands before going thru the line. Losers in more ways than one.” 8:30:29 AM 9/24/10 “Pass the hand sanitizer, Twig. Yuckers. In this day and age, there'd be a very stiff penalty for that garbage around here. You should take the pig with you to the next game, you know, as a mascot. ;)” 11:08:29 AM 9/24/10 “Morning. Caught an upper respiratory virus, and I'm not happy about it. Hot tea helps a lot. I've tried almond milk recently, and that stuff's tasty. It sucks in coffee, but is wonderful in hot tea. Laurel likes it too; she says it makes cereal taste better. If it will get her to eat her breakfast, I'll take it. We've had 1.65" of rain in the last 24 hours, and are expecting a few more inched later today. Yay! The temperatures are finally down below average, and the weather heads expect them to stay that way for a while. Double yay!” 5:16:37 AM 9/27/10 “we finally got some rain. first time in months.” 5:18:26 AM 9/27/10 “Its only supposed to be 79 deg today in Jackson...holy canoli!!!” 7:55:04 AM 9/27/10 “We had the heater on this morning. Brrrrrrrrr.” 7:58:07 AM 9/27/10 “Great weekend....my son and I inadvertently located a yellow jacket nest. So we waited until Saturday night to begin the treatments...LOL gasoline works wonders. MAN those things hurt. Ended up with an ice pack on my ankle Saturday night.” 8:00:18 AM 9/27/10 “Yay, more rain today! Laurel came in our room at 4 am to ask if ti was time to get up yet. I asked her if her alarm went off. "No, not yet." Then it isn't time, m'Dear. That, after a rough night of not sleeping. My throat and lungs feel like they have mosquito bites in there. I'd much rather have a regular head cold.” 4:41:01 AM 9/29/10 “Dang, that sucks treebait. heal quickly! Another typical wednesday, up at 345am. I am starting to love work when there is no one around. Too bad I cant do this daily.” 4:58:03 AM 9/29/10 “Yo Joe! (yuk yuk yuk); You Have Mail!” 5:25:20 AM 9/29/10 “thanks ST, my AKO has been all jacked up the last few days.” 5:48:31 AM 9/29/10 “Been really pleasant in Jackson so far this week...70's for the highs...I think it is suppossed to continue thru the weekend.” 6:13:31 AM 9/29/10 “I slept through both my alarm and Laurel's alarm this morning, but I got her to school on time. She has a major case of bed head, though. On such curly hair, it works! I couldn't sleep most of the night, so I feel vaguely zombie like this morning. I'd rather have coffee than brains, though. I was kept awake by Laurel getting up in the night twice, a sore neck and cats trying to play bedtime origami yoga with me. I just love it when Laurel gets up (this time at 1:34) and asks if it's time to get up yet. No alarm? Then no, it isn't.” 5:58:39 AM 10/04/10 “one of the few good threads still on here Morning everyone :D” 7:14:49 AM 10/04/10 “40 this morning. Wow, just a couple of weeks ago the lows were 70. It was 60 at the church picnic yesterday. I had on shorts and a long sleeve shirt and was pretty chilly. That had more to do with the wind coming off the lake though. Yall have a good week.” 7:16:23 AM 10/04/10 “Morning everyone, I'm finally posting this morning. It's a balmy 40 degrees outside, and I'm wearing the first fleece of the season right now, while sipping on hot tea. I like it. It will get up to the upper 60s this afternoon, though. Hope everyone has a great day.” 4:47:15 AM 10/05/10 “43 in Jackson, MS this morning. I had to scrounge up a jacket before leaving the house.” 7:01:49 AM 10/05/10 “The weekend is supposed to be beautiful, so I took off work on Friday. Nemster and I are going backpacking somewhere - just gotta pick a place.” 7:29:36 AM 10/05/10 “SIPSEY!!” 7:33:26 AM 10/05/10 “WE might skive off a little early friday, skip a meeting saturday, and head for the hills ourselves.” 1:55:57 PM 10/05/10 “40 degrees out, and after a nice, strong, hot mug of yerba mate, it feels good!” 3:24:13 AM 10/06/10 “330 wake ups are the opposite of fun. At least we have warmed a bit (50* today). Enjoy your day...I know I wont...” 3:32:06 AM 10/06/10 “Ya never know, Birch. One of your co-workers could do something so spectacularly stupid, it may have you laughing the rest of the week. I count on my neighbors for that. ;D” 7:13:36 AM 10/06/10 “One of your co-workers could do something so spectacularly stupid, it may have you laughing the rest of the week. Treebait I wish that had been the case. Stupidity is common enough, just not the humorous kind. 4am wake up, at least the office is quiet so early.” 2:55:44 AM 10/07/10 “I'd rather go back to bed... The cats are blowing their summer coats, getting ready for winter, so there's rounds of loud hairball barfing all through the night. Joy. I'm tempted to shave the lot of them. I had teff for breakfast this morning. It's a grain that's smaller than poppy seeds, and quite tasty if you toast it a bit first. I'm seriously missing my coffee; yerba mate just doesn't have the same kick.” 5:35:27 AM 10/07/10 “Nothing like getting up and wandering downstairs at 5:30 am, in the dark, then turning on the light and finding a wolf spider bigger than some tarantulas right by your foot. Boy howdy, that woke me up. Laurel wanted to take her to school for a little show and tell, but I decided we need more predators of that caliber around here. Outside. I caught her in some tupperware, and she's outside now. I found pictures of her variety online, but they all say "unidentified wolf spider." Great.” 5:44:20 AM 10/11/10 “Morning everyone. Mmm, teff for breakfast. It's a very tiny grain, cooked up like oatmeal. Good stuff, especially when you add some chopped dates and raisins, and a little brown sugar and milk afterwards.” 6:29:46 AM 10/12/10 “groooaaaan........ Yesterday was a 345 wake up, a bit of work then home to get the kids and puppy up and catch a quick nap. I was back at work about 4p and hope to be home by 7 this morn. Then I'll get the kids up and to school, a quick nap then a staff meeting. How can I get up when I haven't gotten to sleep? FML” 2:39:01 AM 10/14/10 “morning all.... sitting by a faux fire at Panera's... Hazelnut brew in hand... 33 hours tilll the weekend and another bag night... '32oz” 3:21:58 AM 10/14/10 “Groan. Today I have to go inspect 55 hotel rooms for bed bugs. I suspect I am going to find a few” 4:04:31 AM 10/14/10 “Lol, Chili...glad I don't have your job. Yay, we had a little rain this morning. Hopefully it was enough to not have to water the darned grass seed. Lawns aren't worth it. I have to run by Laurel's school again in a little while; today is the last day of the fall book fair. I love it, and Laurel gave me a list of 18 (!!!) books she's like. I'm not getting all of them, but dang, she loves to read. I think several are going to wait until Christmas.” 4:26:51 AM 10/14/10 “hey chili-- do you use a dog?” 6:23:48 AM 10/14/10 “this place is like a morgue...” 1:20:17 AM 10/15/10 Jump to Page << prev
