I have every reason to be cheerful. I have successfully fixed the Lincoln and Rusty, and it is my day off. In addition, I have some fresh cut pork chops marinating in a garlic herb marinade to go with the smashed tators and pineapple upside down cake I am making tonight.
If I didnt have so much going on, I would come eat dinner. Right now, I need a 3 of me to keep up with everything.
Sometime when you guys slow down a tad, dinner will be cooked and waiting if you'll make the 2 hour drive....

Excuse the wind noise. A sincere request from Elona and I. Not gonna let these headaches stop me from reaching for lost souls!
:couch:

I have finally slept for more than 2 hours at one time. my insomnia this past week had been ridiculous. slept 7 wonderful solid hours last night.
:sing: And I know the feeling :sing:
This week my sinuses have kept me from sleeping as much as I would like. Friday night they were finally quiet for a change, and I slept like a brick.
What? How does a brick sleep? Well... do you ever see it moving?
Went and got the dog from the hospital this afternoon. Poor thing. She's improved, but still feels rough.
That's the only thing I got done. I'm sick of running constantly and not having any time to accomplish anything. :tearhair:
:waving:
Morning, all. :hi: At work. Going without a Dr. Pepper. God have pity on the public.
:wah: :yikes: How could you have come to such a tragic state? Were you running late? Did the store burn down in the night? Bobby without his dr. pepper?
As the Bible itself says, my brethren, these things ought not so to be!
Wait... without your medicine soda you'll be abnormally susceptible to pestering. Bwahahaha!
Shew, Lord.
I am back on one of my "time to quit" kicks. I fully expect I shall backslide from said kick quickly but I'm trying. Need to loose some of this excess poundage.

I'm at work and it's a crazy Monday. :tearhair:
Hi
Well, look who dragged in. :hi:
Survived the day. Killed not a single person. Drank not a single sip of Dr. Pepper.
And there's not any here at the house, so unless I manufacture an excuse to run to the store, I shall be without. Ah, but tomorrow......
Currently making a Chicken dish Lou found a recipe for on Facebook. We shall see how it turns out.
Tomorrow? "It's time to quit" lasted one DAY? I know you said you would backslide quickly, but one lousy DAY?

So, by that measure, I've made it several lifetimes already. :hypocrite: :hypocrite:

XP support ends this week, time for more folk to switch to Linux. :popcorn:
Nobody's ever supported me anyways.
Quote from: BroTrey on April 08, 2014, 03:10:06 AM
XP support ends this week, time for more folk to switch to Linux. :popcorn:
Yeah right. They'll just keep using XP until they get the latest virus (that gets them because their systems are no longer updated) then they'll come crying to us nerds to fix their computers.
Sorry, that might sound a bit harsh... but I've already had multiple friends who got the popup notice from Microsoft about XP's end-of-life, asked my advice, then promptly ignored what I told them.
I can't really afford to buy a new computer right now. We don't even know what Linux is , where to get it, etc. How much support does Linux have?
:hi: Gotta go stand at a public land auction today.....wish I had a few thousand dollars extra, I'd snatch up some of these tax delinquent properties and make some money.
I've always wanted to do that, but you've got to do research ahead of time or no telling what you'll end up with.

You don't need a new computer, just a new operating system... And that's only if you're running XP. In fact you don't necessarily have to have anything besides xp. It will keep running after the support is over.
as for Linux support, it depends which kind you get. The user friendly ones like Linux Mint and Ubuntu have a lot of support. Multiple chat rooms for live support, or you can google up just about any problem you might have. You probably won't have many problems with the user friendly ones though, because they are designed to pretty much run themselves.
We would do it if we had an ounce of understanding how. Someone built our computer and I am thinking because of hardware issues, we just need to get a new one. Changing a whole system is overwhelming. I can understand why people don't do it.
checking in on my bi-monthly GP stalking..... lol

This is why people buy Apple products. No changing systems. No issues with hardware (or rarely).
No issues with understanding. Easy peasy. My first Macbook lasted me almost 8 years. The hard drive had to be replaced once, only because of my overwhelming amount of graphic files I had built up. Now I have an external hard drive to counteract that. And the second Macbook is going smoothly. I still have the first one, and it still works. It's just a smidge slow, from again, the overwhelming amount of graphic and design files.
I've abandoned all Apple products except my iPod and only because it is a beast and keeps on going. Plus it's got a mass quantity of storage on it.
Life has been weird. I have just not been a nice person lately. I'm constantly in a foul mood. I'm exhausted. I'm about to pull a knife on Brandon. What little bit of time we have together he is always hovering right over my shoulder. It's just really getting to me.
We have revival/anniversary services this Wednesday through Sunday. I can't remember when they are preaching but we have Bro Rodeheaver from PA, Bro Greg Hurley from WV, and Bro Marshall [who is a Sioux] coming to preach. The only time I have to miss is Saturday due to work.
Double posting because it just dawned on me it's my birthday of sorts. 13 years since I got the HG. Praise Jesus!

For many people mac is a good way to go. If all you're doing is getting online and checking your email, Facebook, maybe watching a YouTube video, (and of course if you have the money for it,) it is one of the more dependable options.

Or if you're doing any sort of graphic work. I don't recommend any type of heavy graphic work on an average pc. They can't handle it.
Define "average." The belief that mac is better for graphics work is outdated, and has been for some time now. These days you can get any used Thinkpad with 4 gigs ram for less than $200 on ebay and it can handle anything you can throw at it.
http://www.maniacworld.com/how-fanboys-see-operating-systems.html
I can personally attest to the fact that the "linux fanboys" row is accurate. I've known some of them.
Personally I use Linux and Windows, and would use Mac for the things it is best for if they weren't so stinkin' expensive.

Bah. A pox on all you computer people. I barely navigate to here....
And in sharing- it's been a Loooooooong day. The auction was interesting...one older guy spent over a quarter of a million dollars in the first hour of the auction. I quit counting his purchases at that point, but he was consistantly buying properties from 10k to 80k all day long, right up until I left at 3pm. The dear old soul must've had a cubic yard of hundred dollar bills on him. I sure would've liked to make friends with him. :-\
Then I get home and discover that the windstorms broke the mast on my new hexbeam, meaning I had to take it down until I can buy another mast. Bah. :pound:

Doesn't hurt that almost all Apple OS's are based on Linux you just pay for an Apple logo somebody already took a bite out of. :)
SHHHHH! Taco don't say that! You'll upset the fanboys.
Although actually Mac OS was a remodeled BSD clone. But few even know what BSD is. Apple's OS is easier to install than the original BSD ever was though.
ADD-ON EDIT: Actually there's a rumor that Apple tried to hire Linus himself (by that time he was already famous) but he declined and continued working on Linux.

I am not a boy thank you! :pound:
And Linux is worth about $1.4 billion, and Apple about $651.5 billion.
So regardless of if they mirror platforms, Apple's advertising and push to get the public to buy is like 600x more effective then Linux. Yea yea, it's not about the money....but it is really.
Who said you were a boy? I never said anything about you. I was talking about fanboys.
And where on earth did you get information about the worth of Linux? Linux has no net worth. It's free. That's the whole point. Canonical, the company that makes Ubuntu, might have a net worth.
Morning, all. I'm at work. :hi:
This may be a discussion for another thread, but do you think we should stop using certain products/services just because they support things we dont believe in? I mean if we did that to ALL places and things that support non-Biblical things, then we couldnt go anywhere, eat anywhere or buy anything....everything seems to support SOMETHING nowadays.
My cousins who I live with, dont go to Starbucks anymore, they wont go to Disney World/Land and they just found out on the news last night that Firefox (or Mozilla Inc) supports Gay stuff. Now, (since they had to use my computer recently and they know I use FF) are harassing me to get rid of it and use something else. I dont want to. I dont pay any money to use their browser, and I like it. I dont like IE anymore, and I dont care for Safari or Chrome. I want to keep my own things that I prefer and leave it at that...no matter who they support or dont support.
As for Starbucks and Disney, Ill go there when and if I please. Its my money, and just because I buy a product or visit an amusement park, it doesnt mean that I support what they support. If I wanted to support Gay marriage or any other thing, I would give the money directly to that. But I dont. But I do enjoy a Starbucks once in awhile!
What do yall think? Should we stop going to these places or using a free web browser just because of the company's beliefs?
Im not looking for a debate. Just a few personal opinions from friends.
BTW, Im alive.
Two more weeks at Harveys Grocery store in the Deli, then I move on to Winn Dixie and see where they want me to be. Im excited and anxious and sad all at once. I really like my job at Harveys and I dont want to leave, and Ive made lots of friends who are not all going to WD with me.
Oh well. God knows and He did it, so Im not worried. Ill be ok.
I'm with you. If we stopped supporting/buying/visiting places that support things we don't agree with, we'd have to stay at home.
I don't even have the capacity to research all the immoral things companies support and/or directly contribute to, nor do I have the ability to replace everything I live my life with, economically.
However, having said that, I think there is a personal element. I personally try and stay away from Pepsi products because they unashamedly use aborted fetus tissue somehow in the process of flavor enhancing it's products. Not to say there are aborted babies IN the food but just the fact that they contribute significantly to the abortion business being just that. I just don't want to spend much if any of the money we work for toward that. But that is ME. I couldn't care less about what others do. I felt moved to do this. I also don't think I can keep up with the massive amounts of products Pepsi makes so I might be using something I'm unaware is theirs. But I'm pretty sure I do not buy any of their food/drink.
I'll drink Starbucks if I feel like wasting that much money, and I have. Lol But Panera has $1.75 hazelnut coffee that you add your own sugar and creamer to at the little counter. I basically feel like I'm getting a latte.
I also have no interest in Disney land. Or Disney. Lol
I don't really have my head wrapped around how money leads people to practice homosexuality. But buying dead babies and using them in various lab stuff, that bothers me.
On the other hand, if I could afford it, I would choose Chick File everytime because they have tried to take a stand. That's worth something to me even if they did it to make money.
To each their own in this subject I say.
From what I heard, we should stop using Firefox because the CEO said something that was anti gay. Which one is it? Are they for or against? Not that I'll stop using Firefox either way...
Went to the dentist, and went to work on cards.
Came home, eating.
Along the lines of the not supporting places you don't agree with deal.... In one of my Marsh (a grocery) stores where I worked today for inventory, I discovered that they store had pulled a handful of different card designs from the "Just Wink" brand line because a customer had went through them and pulled ones that she found offensive and complained that they shouldn't be in the store and that she was calling Marsh corporate.
The Just Wink line is by nature a racy/edgy brand in particular. It appeared that the person basically just kept looking through them all to find which ones they deemed offensive.
The store is waiting to see if they hear back anything from corporate and if they don't they're putting them back on the shelf.
That's a whole lot of time spent looking at bad stuff. Lol
Reminds me of a minister and family who were walking along the boardwalk in Hollywood. Every so often they would pass a woman who er... almost had a dress on. The minister would mutter "disgusting!" Finally one of his children said, "If it's disgusting, why does daddy keep looking at them?" His sibling said, "Maybe he likes being disgusted."
Days like this remind me how important it is that I pray over Andrew and his school every morning. It's just going to continually increase.
Register your knives.....

What kind of car do they drive? All big 3 American auto makers give to pro-gay charities.
The truth is if you want to stop supporting all companies that support immoral sinful behavior move to the mountains and become Apostolic Amish. All cellphone providers support equal rights for gay partnerships. Most internet is owned by cell companies or cable companies so no internet. Turn in their social security cards and drivers license. Tell them if they really want to do it get ready to live off the grid.
I do avoid Starbucks though of my own choice. Because the CEO said openly closed minded people who were prejudiced against homosexuals were invited to take their money and invest it somewhere else. (Paraphrased) He said it to a share holder meeting. So after that I chose to abide by his request.
I avoid Starbucks solely because I'm a tightwad who can't stand the idea of spending $5 for a cup of coffee. :P
Morning all. NOT "Good Morning". I hate morning people. This morning is being very unkind and hard on me. I was told by my carpool partner that I appeared to either have the flu or recovering from a ten day drunk. At this point, the drunk doesn't sound bad. :smirk2: And FWIW, still no Dr. Pepper....... :clap:
But on a bright note, today is my Friday.
:yawn:
Bobby: so that explains your response when I called you that morning. But I have no idea what somebody looks like when he's recovering from a 10 day drunk. Nobody in my family does that. Would you be so kind as to take a picture and post it? :D

And apparently I am more cranky than I realized sans Dr Pepper. My Captain walked up and shoved an ice cold Dr Pepper in my hands this morning, saying "Drink this. We are gonna get you in a better mood." :laughhard:
So, did you resist temptation?
All the more to quit, Roscoe. Who wants something that leaves you looking like a hungover drunk?
Mel-I text you about it. I have nothing more to say here because I know how very different I am :cool:
Night number 2 of revival! If it's anything like last night it's gonna be great. Plus Brandon is coming with me.
I'm really kinda sad that the semester is coming to an end. I really love my sociology and anthropology professors. More than likely I will end up with my anthro teacher again in another class.
I've never paid $5 for anything ever at Starbucks.
At music conference until Saturday.
I've never paid anything at all for anything ever at Starbucks. I'm not much on coffee.
The only time I've ever bought anything there was at an airport & that's what was available. I got a bottle of water & a muffin. Yes, it was overpriced.
I just do not have words to express what happened in service tonight. That could partially be because I've lost my voice. But my life will never be the same after tonight. :cool:

Morning all. Had a pleasant evening out with my lovely bride last night. We took Rusty to Russellville to pick up a couple of items at Lowe's, then went and ate pizza. Lou drank Dr. Pepper. I, on the other hand, resisited temptation. I did backslide a little- I drank apple Fanta, which is basically carbonated apple juice, but only one small glass.
Now, today I shall work on my tower project. My tower guy called and thinks we may put everything up tomorrow...all 53'. I'd do a happy dance if I could :lol:

Canonical works from a fund set up by the founder, Mark Shuttleworth. The Linux Foundation might pull that much money a year, from the memberships... but that money goes right into the kernel dev team, producing training videos/documentations and adverts. I doubt they have that much sitting as cash on-hand. However the point of the manipulative and frustrating produce company that dodges taxes better than any politician I've heard of... does have plenty of money as "cash on-hand" assets. I would go on with the evils of Apple, but it would be like pointing out Errors of the Watchtower to a LDS member lol

Going to be a beautiful day here and tomorrow also. Both days are booked though so I'm kind of sad I can't go hiking. Both of my kids have BB rifles now and are chomping at the bit to go somewhere they can aim at squirrels/rodents.
Hiking, now, that's different. Hiking I like. As long as I don't have to sleep out there.
Great conclusion last night in family devotion:
Some things labeled as a "standard" are actually and simply a Freedom. Ah, I love hearing my kids talk.
Morning, all. :hi:
Dina should be having a baby before too long. I wish she wasn't so far away.
Hmpf. Quiet around here- we can't have that!
Been a good day. I drove Rusty a fair distance, picked up a couple more things for the tower project, then had to make a quick dash to Russellville for some bolts I'd forgotten. While I was there, Lou called and told me Cody and his girlfriend, (a young couple in our church) had showed up.
Cody is quite the mechanic, and loves my 'vette....he went in the shop and repaired the problem I was putting off for the past seven months. So, tonight, the Corvette drove out of the shop and took a spirited run down the road for the first time in months. Yes, I am happy.
And to top it all off, starting around 9 in the morning, we are gonna put up that tower....:clap:
Sis Sjostrand read my mail today. Convicted, refreshed and healed.
Exhausted to the bone. Sitting in three separate sessions of hers will do that to you.
Thankful for her ministry.
Pretty day here. Supposed to storm tomorrow.
Had to work today so I missed services at church. Poop. I'm currently exhausted and being a lazy bum. Have to go to the Dance Concert at school tonight for my theatre class. Bro Marshall is preaching tomorrow morning. Brandon came to both Thursday and Friday nights services. Thursday night Bro Rodeheaver 'read my mail' so to speak and it surprised Brandon someone I hadn't seen in years knew everything I was going through and had only told to him. Slowly but surely the Lord is working on that boy...
Also PTL my dad pretty much has a job!!!!! He interviewed with AutoZone on Friday [I know. It seems to be a family affair now....] and barring anything crazy happening with his background check he should start a week from Monday. :clap: :clap:
I'm wore slap out. Got up at around 6 this morning....friends arrived around 8:15 or so and we put up the tower. Hardest part of all was getting the beam up.... but now, thank God in Heaven, it is done. Just in time for tomorrow's stormy weather. :smirk:
After we finished that, we went by McDonald's where I cheated and had a SMALL Dr. Pepper, no refill, with my meal. Strangly, it wasn't "all that". Go figure.
We then went to another ham's house and took down an antenna for repair- he's in his 80's and about half a step from a nursing home, so we were glad to help out. I got to drive Rusty a bit too, then came home and mowed and cleaned up the yard, then pressure washed Rusty, the Corvette, and the BadBoy mower.
So as you see- I have a right to be tarred. :lol:
Some of you vitamin/tea weight loss natural health gurus. I need something natural and proven to pull fluid off.

Anything with caffeine - dark chocolate, strong tea, coffee - is a diuretic. But caffeine can be rough on the kidneys as well...

Truth! I need to cut back before I do some damage.
I'm looking for something stronger than caffeine. Someone said cabbage so far I can't find anything to back that up.
I've heard parsley & alfalfa tablets. My husband had something called water X from the health food store.
Warm water with a squirt of FRESH lemon juice or a TBSP of Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "mother" in it) in your water are both GREAT diuretics plus tons of other good benefits.
Actually these will balance your body. If you don't need a diuretic, it won't do it. Which is great because it won't dehydrate you.
Yes, hubby mentioned those, too.
I've heard alcohol is a diuretic, but I don't think you want to get drunk just to lose water. But people who drink sure do complain about having to pee a lot.

That was stuck in my head and I was going to post it, but it's oddly fitting based on the above post.

:laughhard:Cheese, you ain't right. :laughhard:
And that "apple cider vinegar with the mother" works. I've been taking 2 tsp of it with 1 tsp of pure honey with 8 ounces of water every morning for the last week. I've lost 11 lbs doing that and cutting out the soft drinks. I suspect the majority of that is water weight, but I'll take what I can get. I'm sure now it'll plateau for the next two months. :smirk:

Just make sure that your pure honey is not clear nor pourable or it's been refined to the point of being the SAME as white sugar. You might already know that but many don't. There are no FDA regulations on honey so they can say "pure" "raw" "natural" organic and there is no standard to hold to what that means. Often store bought honey can be corn syrup with some honey in it, and there is no one to cause companies to answer for that presently. They don't have to say it on the labels even. But with the reading and talking to people with integrity, Honey is beneficial because of the pollen and it's anti bacterial/microbial/fungal properties. That is what makes honey solid and white or light yellow. When it's heated and strained, that is removed, along with the beneficial properties.
So if you're just taking the honey because you like it, ok. If you are taking pourable translucent honey for health benefits, there aren't any. I know it's annoying. Same for agave nectar.
"With the mother" in it?? What's that mean?
Quote from: MsJennJenn on April 14, 2014, 03:16:18 AM
"With the mother" in it?? What's that mean?
The difference between acv with "mother" and without is regular acv is distilled, which means that any natural enzymes and other important minerals have been killed in the process and it offers no medicinal value.
Distilled vinegar is still great for cleaning the floors and such though!
I just got some organic AC vinegar to drink last week, but I've piddled around and not been using it. :smirk2:
The honey I take is pure from a local seller....I take that teaspoon of it solely to get the taste of the vinegar water to a point that I can tolerate it.
Morning, all. I'm back at work. Looks like we survived the storm..
Well, you're informed so I did my part.
It's supposed to snow today. I cannot think of an accurate word for how I feel about it. Trucks are salting the roads right now.
That's nuts. The temp has really dropped here. It was close to 80 and now it's 50.
I'm celebrating that it's snowing by drinking an extra cup of coffee. And digging back out my knee socks. :-?

Fighting a sore throat since I woke up yesterday. The dredge to work was long this morning after being off for four days! :yawn: :sob:
So you had a good time at the conference, Jenn? Is your throat sore from singing?
---
Let's see, in the last few weeks here in the KC area:
Grandview trangle shooter,
Chimpanzees escaping the zoo
school rapes
and now shootings at Jewish sites
Other than inner city crime, this is not how the metro is. We are touted for being a not so exciting place to visit but a great place to live. Which we like, we don't care to be a tourist attraction like other cities.
It's still snowing. I'm going to pretend the snow in the grass are flowers....

I did. Sis Sjostrand really ministered to me in a strong way. Healing I desperately needed.
No clue why my throats hurting. I didn't sing that much, if at all over the weekend at conference.
I had 2 practices yesterday, but my throat hurt before those practices so....streps going around church, hoping that's not what it is!
That's no fun. :(
I am excited to seeing what a "blood moon" looks like tomorrow night. Regardless of whether Jesus comes before or after, I still think it's neat how God made such shows in the sky.
My boss just told me I sound worse now then I did this morning.
I do feel worse.
Jenn: Don't you hate it when you feel bad and people seemingly go out of their way to tell you how terrible you look? Like "Gee thanks, I love being told I look as bad as I feel."
Well she didn't see me. Just heard me. A pharmacist I called for a report thought I was a dude.
I feel wretched.
Sorry you feel bad, Jenn. :headrub:
I've made it through another day. It's done got cold here again....low forecasted to be in the 30's. This stupid winter already robbed me of my daffodils- not a single one of the dozens planted in my yard bloomed this year. The ones down the road a bit did, but mine didn't, not a single bloom. Now it's intent on killing my pansies and other plants. :pound:
I came home and enjoyed an evening of playing with my radio and new beam. It was great. And tomoorow is "hump day" for me.
Will look for the ACV with mother. I tried the distilled stuff awhile but it caused my hiatal hernia to flare up but I was drinking 3 ounces straight. I think I'll mix it with something this time.
Thanks guys, pray it works this fluid has to go.
By the way, about that spam that has recently been popping up on our forum... that reminds me. Those who are still using XP without any support will be fine for a while, but when their computers get the latest trojan and become part of a spam-spewing botnet it becomes everyone's problem, not just theirs.
We are kind of stuck right now. We asked a friend about Linux and he said it involves knowing more about computers and suggested just going with Apple or Windows 7. Neither of which can we afford a cool $200.
I HOPE I don't have a virus nor am causing the havoc on GP. I'd basically just have to stop coming here until we got a new computer. :/
This soon after support stopped, you are probably not the cause. But tell your friend his viewpoint about Linux is about 7 or 8 years old.
Actually if I have somewhere to send it I could mail you a Linux CD.
I had to cover my tomato plants. It got down to 36 last night and frosted. I hope they are ok.
One more day down....Chey made me proud by bringing home TWO 100% test scores! Her reward was a small bowl of white cheese dip that she loves from her favorite restraunt. Then I got on the radio for a bit and had a nice long conversation with a guy in Nottingham, England. Apparently the upside down umberella is thriving in its new high home, as he told me my signal was one of the loudest he'd heard today. :thumbsup2:
And my dream Corvette passed me on the way home. Mini'd have kittens if he'd saw it- black c5 Z06, everything blacked out, and supercharged. It sounded awesome. All I could do is drool from behind the wheel of the papaw mobile.....
And that's sharing for today from me. :P
Shew.

Truth!
My parents that know very little about computers are on linux (Ubuntu 12.04 Long Term Support edition to be precise). I've had a LOT less of calls saying for me to come fix what they broke since migrating them year ago.
Oddly 12.04 is still the best. They did that LTS right. :thumbsup2:
In local news, the pollen and the dropping temperature combined has outraged my sinuses, and my sinuses have retaliated by keeping me awake more than half the night. I don't know if even caffeine will get me through the day this time.
Not a good day. :mad: Stupid lincoln. Apparently Ford made the intake out of plastic on these cars. Guess what failed on me this morning? I've had to miss a days work, still limping it home , and its a 6 hour two hundred dollar job.....two hundred that I don't have. Lord. I just want something to go right for a change!
:sing: Woah woah grandpa, tell me bout the good ol' days....
Your grandpa car brought that to mind.
Sorry, Roscoe. That's no fun.
Back at work today. Not 100%, but not less then 50% like I was yesterday.
Coughing a lot though. I have the smokers wheeze laugh going on. :laughhard:

It's beautiful here. Over 60 degrees. We've been without Internet here at the Capitol until just now so I couldn't post. Glad it's Friday for me...
Until we get a new computer, I'm only accessing GP from my tablet or phone. I may not even hardly use my computer.
*sigh*
MellowYellow: I suggest BitDefender Free, a freeware anti-malware (antivirus, antispyware, etc) that is about as good as any of the payware security systems out there. It should plug the holes, at least for now.
Of course I still recommend Linux Mint, but I get the impression you do not consider that option viable.
Didn't Isaac offer to send you Linux? Lol
If so why not take him up on it and make the switch rather then boycott your computer all together?
Send my address to a man, I think, who doesn't show his face because.... ???? LOL
Because I hate me in pictures. Ask Chel, she knows. Actually I have a long running (good natured) feud with a certain person at church who loves taking pictures of people...
But the consideration is valid. I could send it to a nearby post office, c/o somewhere-not-too-far, to be picked up by you. Doesn't even have to be your post office, could be three towns down the road. The USPS is great that way.

He's real. He's a he, and he is a genuinely good man and a good friend, who for reasons known only to him perfers to be somewhat anonymous online. But, if he is willing to send me the packet for you, I will be glad to forward it, since I have your address due to the hemp/chocolate gravy/christmas cards. At least I do if I haven't lost it. :P
Problem solved.
And Chel hated, still does photos of herself online.
Yea she's a woman, but really in this day and age the women are as crazy if not more then the men.
In other news - double post - since I bought some coconut oil, and tried frying my egg in it, I've been ADDICTED to fried egg in coconut oil.
LOVE coconut oil. Its very good for you and FYI if you condition your skin with it for a few weeks, it's high flash point is a great sunscreen that won't contribute to skin cancer later like sunblock.

Would appreciate a prayer. Day is NOT beginning well at work this morning. I'm about two shakes of a lamb's tail from going back to what I know how to do- real police work. This political bull hockey is killing me. One day- "You're not attentive enough" Next day- "You're paying too much attention to the door you are assigned to work". They want you laid back and friendly, but aggressive and safety oriented. Kinda like wanting a pit bull and a poodle- they don't coexist. I can do either- but they won't like the "real" me. :mad:
I swear, I want a patrol car and a real law enforcement job without being second guessed by someone who's never heard a shot fired in anger. I know how to deal with that.
Rant over, Thanks.

Today was a day that I'd prefer not to repeat. Nothing major, but everything was wrong. Lou told me the girls we watch wouldn't be over today, so I went to get a needed haircut- true to my day, my barbershop was closed. :mad: I went home out of sorts, and decided a ride in Rusty would do away with my stress. Lou had a day similar to mine,so she went too. Of course BOTH of the country resturaunt hole in the walls we like to frequent were closed.:pound:
Before leaving the house, though, I had quickly made a CD for my cruising music, since the one in Rusty's cd player had been scratched pretty badly from bouncing around....I just downloaded a few songs from one of my favorite singers, Terry Terrell. Didn't pay attention to what I was downloading...
Driving around on the way home, my attention was caught by a song- "Keep me in Your Will ( So I Won't Be in Your Way)".
It said EVERYTHING I needed to say to God. I bawled until I nearly had to pull off of the road. I have to remember to pray that. That whole song was my present situation...and before now, it was a song I listened to, but didn't pay attention to the words. God's got it, and all WILL be well.

Today is a great day. I drove Rusty in to meet my car pool partner, which put me in the correct frame of mind....And it is my beautiful wife's birthday. I wish I could give her a new car or something extravagant, but thanks to normal issues of life- read: Lincoln breakdown, bad cash leak from wallet, etc.- I can't. But I hope she knows I love her more than all the world, and I am incredibly lucky to have her.
I got a new grandson! :D
Now, if I could only get to hold him...
Life is so wearisome.

Bruddah, you down, then you up, then you down again. What you doing, riding an elevator?
That's funny, Isaac. I blessed you for that.
Lol. Isaac....it is my life. :biglaugh: Bottom line is 1) Ya'll be my vent place because my boss and coworkers likely won't ever find us here. :P And 2) truthfully, life for me is in the stressful category right now, but I am trying to live what I preach and trust God being positive. Unfortunately, I am, despite any evidence to the contrary, human, and thus have down moments. Many of them. Today, I just feel physically unwell..... but as the old hymn says "All is Well".

It's only PMS if that stands for Premeditated Murder Syndrome....'cause I HAVE considered that as an option. Lord. For someone that hates drama and tries to be a peaceful, quiet employee, I sure draw the ire of idiots, usually much higher ranking than me.
Anyway- that mess is behind me for the week. I have no intention of thinking about it until Monday, anyway.
Not that my weekend is starting any better. I stopped and paid the guy for the Lincoln repair job, planning to pick it up when Lou got in. He calls me just before I walk out the door. "Bob? Don't bother getting it tonight. There's a little metal 'tube' under the intake. It's pouring... gonna have to replace that.". Long story short- another $100 I don't have just sprouted wings. :pound: :cry: I don't know whether to break down sobbing or laugh at the pure absurdness of all this mess happening at once. Or, as option three, cover my body with lime jello, climb up on the water tower and take potshots at anyone that comes near me, while singing "We're not gonna take it.."
Option three IS getting consideration...:laughhard:

Shew.
It's Friday! :bigcheese:
:hi:
I took Chey to school, dug Rusty out of the shop and rotated his tires, then drove to town to discover an old service station I've lusted after for years is being torn down. :cry: I got a couple of final pictures with Rusty before it was gone though...
Now, I'm gonna go pick up a few more porkchops, go home and cook and spend the rest of the day puttering in the yard. It's BEAUTIFUL here today.
It's nice out today here. Supposed to be bad weather on Sunday, like tornadoes and hail and such.
Went and did poop. Came home. Eating a salad.
Well Wed. and yesterday.......
I caught someones cold.
Got bad news from the doctor.
Worse news about one of our youth.
Somehow broke a toe badly with no clue how.
Then for the first time ever I watched a laptop die around the hard drive. It was my computer I use for church and Bible study.
Praise God Anyway! Tomorrow is our first day of outreach in Daleville VA pray for us!
Taco: Who needs a hard drive? Install Linux on a flash drive and carry on. :thumbsup2: This computer I'm using right now hasn't even touched the internal hard drive in months.
Come to think of it... want a hard drive? Only thing I would use it for would be Windows, and I never run Windows on my internet computer. 2.5 SATA.
Bobby: I may have misunderstood... you have wanted to OWN a service station? Just because it looked rustic, or did you want to go into business?
I absolutly would like to go in business, if I knew I could make a living at it. But I wanted that particular one because of the history. I'd like to have restored it to its original late '30's early '40's look, and just use it for storage for rusty and the Stude. Kinda a hobby shop. I came close to buying it a few years ago, but the owner wouldn't come off of his price of 10 grand and it needed another few thousand in structural repairs. I'd have given him $5k...:sadbounce:
Ironically, I bet they didn't get that much for it after the last few years' deterioration.
:couch: peeking in
Back at work. Quite the light show going on- the storms they've predicted for our area seem to be firing up a bit earlier than I'd heard. They are saying tornados, golf ball size hail, and 60+ mph winds are likely. :o If I get blowed away, I hope I am put down- gently- somewhere in Florida or another tropical paradise. With my luck, though, I'll get dumped in the Artic. Or if I DO get dumped in Florida, it'll be in Miami, in the 'hood. :uzi: :sadbounce:
Sorry Dorothy, it only works that way in the movies. Just keep saying "There's no place like home." :teeth:
We're supposed to get storms too.
One thing you definitely all got was a bad case of the weirdos.
W2cch. Eating a bean bowl.
I'd rather be weird than gassy any day. All those beans can't be good for you.
Speaking of combustibles, my air conditioner just now gave up the ghost. It has been making weird noises for two years now, so I guess it was time. *sigh*
It's gone to meet our water heater, which just did the same.
Well, the weather nerds were right. A MASSIVE tornado just wiped a portion of Mayflower- a small town between Conway and Little Rock, famous for a oil pipeline break last year- off the map. One fatality so far, but there's ALOT of damage. So thankful it went through at 7 pm, and not three and a half hours earlier, as it went right through where I drive daily.

The hard drive is fine the keyboard went first, then the monitor went wonky, now it wont turn on. I need a laptop for the hard drive which already has a dual install of windows 7 and linux. lol
Never seen a laptop die around a hard drive like that before.
It died AROUND the hard drive? Like, the hard drive is fine? The hard drive is usually what fails... I've never seen that before. I almost wish you had videos of its demise.
Well I'm alive... barely.
I waited for the bus again on Friday. Long story short, I went to the ER, and ended up with a fractured kneecap, a bruised left knee, bruised elbow, broken wrist, busted lip, and six stitches inside my mouth. Possibly later I may lose my front tooth, as it is very loose right now, and I still have to see a dentist. That's what happens when you decide to attack hug a concrete step... With your face.
As far as my job goes, I got lucky, because this was our last week anyway, and the deli is already closed. I pretty much had this week coming up, off anyway. We were just going to be cleaning and moving stuff, and I can't do that now anyway so I'm off. I still don't know any information about my new job, we are supposed to find out at the end of this week.
Y'all be sure to pray that I still have one.
That is all. Any questions?
Oh, I also suffered a minor concussion, and what is known as dysphasia. It was a lovely experience.
I'm glad you are ok, Bobby .. even if it WAS because you have to be over 4'6" to ride the Cyclone! :)

Along and in the vicinity of a creek.
Not water turtles though, box turtles. "Tarpins," (terrapins) as we call them.
They were just out in great abundance today.
Maybe they ate all the mushrooms.

This was turtle number 9.
Bobby: Chili dogs? Mexican food gives you trouble, but you can eat chili dogs?
Speaking of which... a few weeks ago I was typing the bulletin one Sunday morning and the pastor came through looking a bit tired. He said they went to the mexican restaurant in town the night before (which is never a good idea, that particular restaurant is very bad) and his "beef burrito" had a chopped-up hot dog in it. For some reason this caused my pastor trouble, because he had been up and down all night. And his sermon that Sunday was a bit short.
Dude, I can scarf a chili dog anytime with no problems. Preferably one smothered in onions and cheese, with a large dollop of a sweet mayonnaise based slaw....:fork: :drool:
Without TMI, you *might* not want to be near me in enclosed spaces for a day or two afterwards though.
Good morning,all. Gonna be a good day, even if I have to whip someone's tail to ensure it.
:yawn: I'm at work.
:hi:
No tails had to be whipped. :P Good thing, 'cause I really didn't feel like expending the energy. :roll:
Am gonna eat fish sammiches in a few, and relax. Beautiful day, but a mite windy...
And you clowns need to post more. Herbgirl, Mini,Newsman, Jenn....y'all are being too quiet. Myself, Weird Cat- I REFUSE to call him by his new "handle" :pound:- and Rats' Nest are tired of carrying you bums. If it weren't for Cheesehead, we'd be doing ALL the work around here. :pound:

We had tamales for supper.
Isaac got any clue where I can get an HP Compaq from 2009 to stick this HD in? CHEAP! I could buy a new computer cheaper than buying after market parts to fix this one. I need it for church stuff.
:smirk2:
I've become very anticlimactic in my old age.
Taco: Why in the world would you want an HP Compaq? Those are very prone to hardware failure. If I had known that was the computer in question I would not have wondered that it died on you. In any event, it is very unlikely the OS would still work, even in an HP Compaq of a comparable year model. Microsoft is very careful to not allow any possibility of cloning, which leaves legitimate users sometimes up the creek.
Bobby: You refuse to call me Lynx? Why not? I have not called YOU... a certain well known name... for some time now. :P
I'm supposed to get my permanent cast on my wrist tomorrow. I'm thinking about getting Florida state colors when they ask me for my choice of color.
Wheeeeee!!! Does that count as a post?
I even 'blessed' two peeps ...Ladies JennJenn and Sandra, for their comments about Sethers and Lady Mary Jane ... err, Melodya../.
I started a new thread before I read the latest complaint about me .... please pop by an wish Clarence a happy birthday ... he has a lot he has to put up with! :)

Saw the dr yesterday for this lingering cough. She indeed saw chest and sinus congestion and pressure, and I have a slight wheeze. So I am loaded up on an antibiotic, cough syrup and an inhaler.
If you must sneeze and cough do so toward Cheese.
Another roller coaster day, thanks to the psycho that is my sergeant. I wish he'd go away....He started the morning by accusing me of not performing a building check when I was assigned to building duties yesterday evening, and "spending over an hour on the computer instead". Did he apologize after he was shown proof in the form of the building's video camera system that 1) I HAD done the building check and 2) I had spent less than thirty minutes on the computer? He did not.
My chief told me not to fret,but the sergeant in question has been going around HIM too, talking with his boss, which concerns me. I truthfully don't know why this guy dislikes me, I've never done anything to him- but every since he came to day shift a couple months ago, my life has been a living hell.
I am earnestly praying God moves him- or takes him out, which I don't care. He nearly got taken out by me today- I don't do well with basically being called a liar and not doing my job. I nearly became the old me, which may have required a bail bond before I was done. Thank God for helping me hold my temper...
And to make matters worse today, my left foot is slightly swollen and aching. I can hardly walk. And I think I am going to prop it up and pray that God forgives me for skipping church tonight.
Lucky y'all. You get to be my vent place. One day I'll doubtless list you as my support group on prision paperwork the way it's going. :laughhard:

Can't your chief call him on the carpet for making false accusations? Seems like he could repay the misery if he is that much of a trouble maker. Sounds like he is trying to open a slot on day shift for someone by making you mad enough to quit. Don't give in be stubborn like we know you are. lol
Shew.
Just shew.
Indeed.
I'm at work.
I'm on campus for my last day of class. Finished up 2 classes this morning with tests. Have one more theatre class today then take that test next week. In an odd turn of events I will be moving again in the next couple weeks. My roommate lied to me about being able to get onto the lease and all that it entails. I do not qualify for all the loops the require nor do I have a cosigner. I will be moving my bed to my parents, my excess furniture to Brandon's, and myself into a dorm on campus for summer. I've also applied for housing here in the fall. I will only have to stay at my parents for 2 weeks in August between summer and fall terms.
That's pretty much all I have to update yall on. Have a good one!! :cool:
Whatkindofgirl are you going to be when you graduate?
It looks as though I will actually end up double majoring by the time this is over. I'll be a sociologist and anthropologist. :cool:
Lord. It should be legal to kill a spouse for doing what mine did this morning. :pound: Beautiful morning, my Saturday, Chey's out of school today so sleep in time, here I come....NOT. My lovely wife woke me up at around 4:45 when she came in from the guest room where she'd fallen asleep watching a movie when I went to bed....then, just after I'd dozed back off, she showed up at 6:30 to announce that 1) she'd not been able to go back to sleep and had cooked bacon for breakfast and 2) I HAD to get up and make biscuits since she can't make them like I can. :fire:
So here I am, awake, biscuits made and in the oven, and the certainty that my peaceful day has been totally rearranged, as she is yelling about "getting to the yardsales before the good stuff's gone". Lord.

Well. In other news, we finally left the house around 9 am....took Lou three hours to get "just one more thing" done. We went to a few yard sales, and stopped by Lowe's. Bought a Rusty-load of assorted items, from clothes to two barstools that Lou saw and determined that I will be painting white to match the coming kitchen cabinet paintjob. Lord. I'm still in the planning mode for the cabinet paint job and she's moved full steam into other projects for me. :smirk2:
I DID manage to get the screen replaced in the front storm door. It's only been torn, oh, about three years. She Duct taped it to shame me into fixing it...it finally worked when the duct tape began turning loose. :biglaugh:
All in all, a good day. A real good day. Now watch some idiot come along and jack it up... :pound:
I'm so ready to get off work and go home.
Our water heater wasn't fully dead the other day as I had alluded to at one point, it had just had a fuse blown at the time, but it has been slowly dying for a while though... I picked a new one up today and dad wanted to hurry and install it.... Poor old decrepit dad. Still pray for him, he's in poor shape. But anyways, the power was supposed to be off, and it was not, we learned as fire flew when the wire touched a pipe. I could've been fried alive. Scared the poop out of me. *sigh*
Then had issues...and it was such a slow process.... With a little assistance from someone else to remedy a problem, it appears to be okay.... I took a shower and it didn't electrocute or scald me.

I am paranoid about electrical things. When I HAVE to work on them, I'll cut power to the whole house just to be safe. Always had a fear of being lit up...
In sharing- I have to work on the Lincoln's driver's side window today. It rolled down fine last night, but wouldn't roll back up. :pound: I beginning to know why I've avoided Ford products for years...
Oh my. It's better to be stuck rolled up than down.
It's a beautiful sunny day here. :D
It's beautiful here too. And the possessed Lincoln- went out, started it up and ht the window switch and up it went.
I've rebuilt my shop door I damaged back in September. Cheapskated it and reused the old siding, ect- I will need to replace that when the extra money comes around, but it'll do for now.
Fixing to go grocery shopping for Lou while she goes to a niece's birthday party....

Went to church, came home. Eating lunch.
A young guy that's new to the area came to church today...he'd left a message on the church answering machine last night that he was going to. I was glad that he did. I hope he comes back again. Or at least selects a church to go to. He said he's new to the Pentecostal faith but he's been baptized in Jesus name and such.

Shew. I've walked 685 miles today. My feet hurt.
Fiddling with fence and herding cattle....
We were gonna move the one cow none of the other like back up here to the house.....so after we moved everything else in a new lot, we were walking her up the road, and the bull took a wild spell and jumped out and came to join us...so we ended up taking them both up here.
But no sooner than we got back down the road, here he comes, he'd tore out up here... Lord, big dummy.
The other one is not content by herself, though she's not being wild at least, so maybe she'll settle and learn to enjoy eating and living without everybody else butting and beating the poop out of her. :smirk2:
If she runs away, she'll just go back down there. Hopefully she won't though.
Just like some folks I know, they make it hard to help them.

Back at work. Is it bad that when I prayed for my supervisor today, I said " Lord, touch him"....and my subconscious added .."preferably with a bolt of lightening"? :lol:
Supposed to get more storms the end of the week. I hope they are not bad..
We sure need some rain but can do without the tornados.
It was nice and cool this morning when I left.
Breezy.
I haven't run the AC yet. Haha I don't wanna run it until
I absolutely have too. I haven't been home except at night most days. And with the breeze at night and my fan I'm good.

So here I am, awake, biscuits made and in the oven, and the certainty that my peaceful day has been totally rearranged, as she is yelling about "getting to the yardsales before the good stuff's gone". Lord.
Did poop and errands, got garden plants and such.... Gotta get crackin on that.... Eating a bite then tear into it.
The cow is still here and hasn't run away. Though she's still wishing she wasn't.

Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking. Well... half of what I was thinking. The other half was "any leftovers?" :fork:
:pound: That's not true....er, well, completely true.
Wait, what? You just said it's not true, then you said it's completely true. Which is it?
Probably that there's no leftovers. ;)
My office smells like socks.
Dirty socks or clean socks? ;)
Most def. dirty. Which is odd, because I don't wear socks to work. Ever.
So it must just be yo stanky feets. :afro:
Went and hauled in some hay.
Eating a bean bowl.
Gotta feed fowl then get back crackin' on the garden.
It ain't my feet lol - I smelled em. No stankiness.
Got back from Colorado yesterday am, back at work yesterday.. still so tired!

Back at work. It's my Friday, and the supervisor that has singled me out for torment has taken off. It will be a GRAND day. :lol:
We may get rain today. We sure need it. :)

We're def getting it. It's been raining since early early this morning here.
We're supposed to get rain, but the original expectation of tonight has been pushed up to tomorrow. I think when they make up the forecast they always assume the fastest possible storm travel.
We got a pretty good little downpour a few ago, but it has stopped now. Lou called on the way home and she and Chey commenced begging for steak. I went by the local meat market and spent $12 on two large sirlons, cut them up, and cooked them, serving them with the leftover mashed potatoes and corn..
Then Chey began begging for a buttermilk pie, which I haven't made in a while. Since I was lucky enough to score a quart of fresh, homemade buttermilk from my egg/milk/butter supplier, it seemed a great time to test its cooking properties. Oh. My. Lord. It made an absolutely AWESOME pie. Seemed to be little "fluffier" if that makes sense, and tasted divine. I got a piece, Lou and Chey got a piece each, and I looked a while ago to see that they have packed the remainder for lunch, leaving me without. :pound:
Oh, and say a prayer for Kim and her little dog. Her dog (a weenie dog named Chili) has a vertabrae problem...vet doesn't think surgery is a good option, and Chilidog is in pain. He's Kim's child and she is hurting as bad as he is from watching it. :cry:
Shew
:hi: We did get rain. :D
Bobby: I understand hurting because your dog hurts. I'm an animal lover.
We finally did get some rain. About time too. When I mentioned them making up the forecast in my previous post I literally meant making it up. I don't think they really know what they're talking about over at the weather station.
Once again, I need to remind people. When you change your screen name, tell staff.
HA Busted weird cat....
Sorry, didn't know. PM en route.
1/3 of my possessions are at my parents. 1/3 is with me housesitting. 1/3 is sitting in my apt waiting to be moved to my dorm. There was no point bringing stuff all the way to Bristol when it's just going to be going 1.5 miles down the road on the 18th.
Traveling to SC tomorrow for a concert.
My feet do not stink.
I haven't seen any crickets, but I have seen quite a few deer, groundhogs, squirrels, and turkey vultures around Ms Gregory's home the past few days.
Been to a few garage sales. Chel stopped by & brought me a cupcake bouquet. :)
I'm determined to go more than one day without hearing the phrase "I'm Batman." It has been almost 2 weeks now. blah LOL It has been said quite often at work.
Lots of batty people where you work, eh?
I thought that fad was over many, many years ago. What are they still doing saying that?
Shew.
I am so behind in life I need to file bankruptcy and restart.
:hi:
Been a long day. Yesterday we didn't do much do to the rain, but today- went to the church and helped install a new electrical panel, a new wireless microphone system, and a new water faucet in the men's room. Then I came home and got hte lawnmower, and mowed a brother in the church's yard, and spent over an hour talking with him..then came home and put a buttermilk pie in the oven for potluck tomorrow.
Lands. I'm so not wanting to go back to work tomorrow. :pound:
:smirk2:
Went to church and came home and such. Eating lunch.
It's hot & humid here today.
Looks like storms coming in today and tomorrow. Bah. I much prefer pretty weather..
We're supposed to be in the bulls eye for the storms last I heard.

And the wind has arrived, as well as a small sample of tomorrow's rain. We have indeed cancelled range day. I am now at home, enjoying a few minutes on the radio- guy in Kuwait is talking with a chap in England, about 90 kilometers south of London- and I'm hearing both of them. Loud.
And Lou is gonna be mad at me because I'm doing this instead of cooking the chopped steak in mushroom gravy we are having for dinner. :P

It is really cool for May in Texas. Supposed to get down to 45 tonight
Ok, folks, wake up and post something!
haha I'm here!
I'm here, after weeping with conviction over Chel's pointed jab. :sob:
Ready for today to be over with....
Well she has a point.
We have friends that had a tree go down on the power lines in front of their house when the storm came through a couple days ago. The police blocked the road to traffic and they just now today got the tree off the line but turned off power to the house. It has pulled the wiring partially away from the house. They spent the night with us last night and will probably stay another day or two from the sounds of things.
This is the tree and you can sorta see their house in the background behind the other house.

Long day of stinking cards.
Eating a salad. Dropped part of it in the floor. Ate what I could of what I dropped anyhow. :P
Taco: Yeah, my mother sent me an email as soon as she heard about that. I didn't get them based on Vibram's claims though, I got them because I've wanted a pair of shoes without a built-up heel for years and years. First shoes I have ever NOT been impatient to get off my feet as soon as I get home.
In local news, if any of you are thinking about getting a dog soon, I recommend against getting an australian shepherd. I recently discovered they have an instinct to roll in manure. First dog I've ever had who did that.

Don't ever get a dachshund if that's an issue. I had one who ate a hot fresh " horse biscuit" for breakfast every chance she got...
:o ick!
I think a wide variety of dogs like to eat and/or wallow in poop.
I don't see how I've missed this fact until now. My family has always had a dog of some kind, and we've had a lot of different breeds. First time I've ever run into this problem.
And for the record, yuck!

Getting off at 12:30 today. Have to be at church at 1p to sing for a funeral. An elder in our church died Tuesday, and today is the funeral. He was one of the ones who started the church 40+ years ago with our Senior Pastor.
It's so rough losing elders in your church.
Lord. I.Am.Whipped.
Today was the last day of school for Chey, and they had a field trip. She begged for me to go, so I did. THEN I find out they are hiking to the bottom of Cedar Falls, which is around 2 to 3 miles- nearly vertical. I made it, but there were moments I thought I heard the angel's wings coming to get me, then discovered it was just my blood pressure.
Chey fell while near the falls, didn't hurt her a bit, but she cried and wanted Daddy to carry her piggyback. I did, for around a mile..I surprised myself. I made it with relatively little trouble, not even stopping very long to rest. Tomorrow I shall need help to get out of bed, probably. One thing's for sure- I won't feel guilty about eating something unhealthy tonight, if I choose to.

Bobby: To me that sounds like fun. But then I've decided I'm part mountain goat. Glad you made it. For the unhealthy thing to eat, I recommend whipping up a cheesecake. And sending me part of it. :D
That's weird. I KNOW I posted a reply, but it appears the board ate it.
Actually, the hike was nice and I enjoyed it. I would've liked to own that spot we hiked to- I would barricade the trail where no one else could come bother me, build me a cabin, and live happily ever after....
Here today in my real life though- it's cloudy, cool and NOT a spring day. Seems more like fall. Too cold for me to do much of anything, so I'm lazing around reading and playing radio....
:hi: we have some friends coming over
Well...since no one else will post, I shall. :hypocrite:
Back at work. Just got a weird email from H.R.....wanting all employees to do a survey on what they would like to do to improve their life. I really wanted to tell them I'd like to be wealthy and not have to come into this place and take their inane surveys put out by clueless educated idiots....but I restrained myself.
Only four more days after today until the weekend....
Next weekend is a long weekend for me + my birthday. :)

Literally falling asleep at my desk. And I was in bed, out asleep before 10:30 last night.

:hi: Nearly had a year scared off'n me today.....Forgot my checkbook and left it at home- or so I thought. Then wen I get home, I can't find it anywhere. Checks, credit cards,debit card- if it's financial for us, it's there.
I tore the house apart.....finally, after an hour of searching and pleading, we found it. Behind the tread mill, upon which my loving wife had laid my work pants. It'd fallen out of the pocket. Shew, Lord.
And we are fixing to go to Chey's 2 nd grade graduation. Straight "A's"... I'm proud of my youngun'. Think we are gonna go to McDonald's for a rare treat..
My. What a treat.
My kids used to like cheap treats like that...
Went and did poop and a couple errands. Home eating lunch.
I hope you washed your hands. :eyebrow:
I'm sitting here at work with lots to do but don't want to be here. :smirk2:
Made through the first day of range. Got sunburned....Then came home, mowed the yard, and went to the abandonded homeplace up the road and done something I've wanted to do for ten years. There is a HUGE climbing teacup rose- the type with clusters of tiny roses- right on the edge of the road. It climbs up an old fence and has entwined itself through the branches of an old cedar tree. Thing's probably 40-50 years old....This time of year it looks like someone threw a red carpet of teacup roses up the side of the tree.
I went up and found that the rose has re-produced by having several offshoot root. I dug up two of them and transplanted them. Probably not the right time of year, but I don't think it will hurt. They are beautiful....
Just keep them watered & they should be ok.

Well. Today was interesting. Had a big storm come through Little Rock- lotsa rain and some wind. I get radioed that a limb has fallen off of a tree on 7th Street, so I run through the "tunnel" at work and have the officer working the door to bring me a raincoat since I'd left mine at home...
I arrive to find that a car had been struck by said "limb". Limb was actually the east half of a 150 year old oak tree and was bigger around than I am, by quite a bit. The car was driving by when the tree fell on it. Tree landed precisely on the driver's roof, and DESTROYED the car. I have no idea how the driver kept from being killed- but he limped away with only what appeared to be superficial damage.
Needless to say we had every TV station in Little Rock there to film it, since it happened a block from two of the networks' stations. Therefore, I KNOW I am on television tonight, as well as in the paper tomorrow, I suspect....

Shew. Lord.
Help.
:hi:
Bobby: Wow, now I know a celebrity! :great:
Jenn: keepvid.com works. Select mp3 instead of a video format. It won't be audiophile quality (because people don't upload audiophile quality to a youtube video) but it will be good enough for most people.
...Of course there are legal, moral and ethical implications if one does a bunch of song ripping. It's probably just as well that I'm an audiophile and can't stand the audio quality, or I'd probably at least seriously compromise my ethics, being the music nut that I am. But grabbing a song for the choir to hear so they can learn to sing it is probably okay.
I just found this artist who has like 4 or 5 songs in an acoustic version, and everything he's got on iTunes is his CD version, not the acoustic...and the acoustic is 10x better. lol

Girl's State is a deal that the schools do here....they take girls from schools all over the state, ( ages 14 or so through 17) have some instruction time, have mock elections, electing them to all of Arkansas' Constitutional offices, plus House and Senate seats, and just generally teach them about the legislative process. They also have all the colleges from around the state set up booths of information for the kids. It's a yearly thing, and tomorrow will be "Boy's State" which is the male version.
The girls are usually calmer, with some slight drama. The boys have been known to be, er, a bit more rowdy, from stealing from the blind ladies snack stand to drawing depictions of body parts on the sidewalks... :sadbounce:
Thankfully, I'm off tomorrow and won't have to put up with the boys. Today was MORE than enough with the girls...
Any boy who steals from a blind lady's snack stand should be tarred and feathered. Alternatively he should have his eyelids glued shut with super glue. The glue will wear off in time, but until it does he'll get a good appreciation for how it feels to be blind.
^ I agree. But believe it or not we had some worthless turds do just that last year. I wanted to pop 'em until their eyes swelled shut for a few days for the same reasons you listed...
I cut it in half, remove the seeds and bake for an hour in the oven. Remove, let cool a bit, scrape out the meat with a fork, throw it in a pan with butter, spices, onion and tomatoes, sautée it up a bit add some cream, and shredded cheese, and we eat!
Yummerz!!
Howdy. I've been struggling with a sinus headache from the thunderstorms.
Who knew Purple Fuzzy was a fellow feline? ???
In other news, will someone ping Taco and see if he's alive? He hasn't answered a tech (nerd) pm in days. I don't have his phone number.
Shew. I is beat. Got up and went to the library and then to grocery shop...I swear it gets more expensive every week...
And the a/c condensation vent stopped up and flooded our bedroom floor. :sadbounce: I've ripped up the carpet, only to find that the morons that laid it felt it would be a grand idea to glue the padding down. In addition, the water has been wicked up by the headboard of our bed, and the beginnings of mold were on one area of the wall. Lord. It's still debateable whether the headboard can be saved, I'm bleaching the slight trace of mold and scraping like and idiot to get the glue up. WHY can't something go right and normal for me?!? :pound:

:pound: But I was always told that opposites attract? My life by that line of thought should be beautiful, easy and rich..... :sadbounce: In short, I shouldn't have to struggle. :mad:
Well, you got the short part right...
Oooh, that was cold!

:fire: :uzi:
Anyone ever remind you that I am 1) jumpy 2) don't like surprises, and 3) shoot at things that startle me? Well, all of that is true..
/me drags Seth's mangled, bullet ridden body to the chicken coop and feeds it to the birds.
Sure hope they don't choke on the lead.... (goes off whistling)

:waving: Morning all. Back at work. And it's raining again. :sadbounce: I'm tired of the mess, I tell you.
:hyper: :hyper:
TODAY IS THE DAY! Getting this cast off! WHOOT!
:hyper:
If I get an x-ray, and they tell me that I have to put another cast on, I think I will just lay down and cry. But that is a possibility they told me. But I have faith that it's healed properly now and that I can come home cast free!
Praying that it's healed, Mel.
Just don't break it again, Grace.
Merning. I'm having a slightly blah day. *sigh*
