I meant to work this into today’s entry somehow. I ran across a marvelous quotation this morning.
I just wanted to note it so I’d remember.
OK, let it be said up front that I am an unbeliever. Not a doubter, not an alternative religion participant, not a searcher and definitely no longer interested in becoming any of the above. This is probably the reason that this whole Apocalypse Yesterday failed to hit my radar until a couple of days ago,…
What is your meaning of life? I really wanted my answer to be “42”, but I would have had to cheat. My favorite compliment is not that I’m froody>
I’m getting better about the twenty-firsts of months. (See long-lost entry May 21, 2001 for a small explanation.) I realized that I actually missed the twenty-first of October and November, which I think is the first time since 1997 that I got past a twenty-first without noting it. I don’t know if this is a…
There’s a daily newslist for people who have the same cancer that I do. It’s surprisingly active, considering how few of us there are. The discussions this week centered mostly around people getting rejected for life and disability insurance. Based on comments from participants plus the forum’s moderator (a reputable foundation for this disease) having…
Damn but the days pass quickly now. I live mostly in a constant state of fear or frenzy. The job, as poor paying as it is, demands much. During the course of my seven and a half or eight hour day (depending on which day of the week it is) that I get to sit…
So, yes, this is Dentist Day, boys and girls, when Salamander is forcibly dragged out from under her rock and strapped into the dentist’s chair. I couldn’t sleep last night … ended up staying up past midnight washing my new dishware, packing the remnants of the old stoneware up, and emptying the contents of the…
can’t wait to hear what the front office people have to say about this… you GO grass!
~~~
hug’em and kiss’em, i’m doing the same.
Yea, I hear you on the extra cat loving. I feel guilty complaining about them in yesterday’s entry. It’s a shame about Shaka.
Ah, a little "revenge" is good regarding the 3" drop. All from 1/8th inch of rain? Good grief.
Your excursion sounds nice, even better when someelse is driving. I have to admit, I’m abit nervous about driving on my trip next month.
Shoddy workers in more than one sense, it seems.
I would just say to the office: Please make it beautiful. (wait for response) thank you.
I feel for you*
Boston intimidates me also
Three cheers for Mr. Blake.
The drop is pretty plain to see in the first photo. That will be a lot of fun to correct.
Maine has roads?
Huh.

Oh, good grief! Did they put those pavers on marshmallow? Such a small area, and with foot traffic only – they must have made no attempt to prepare the area properly.
Yes, don’t waste a precious moment with those kitties. And get The Socialist to help prepare the place for his friend 🙂
Good quote. I like that. Your ex garden reminds me of my parents’ sidewalk. They had newly paved it about seven or eight years ago because it was cracked and old. It looked great. That winter we had a strong rain, and then it all froze. The sidewalk buckled into horrible shapes and cracked worse than it had before. They were less than pleased…
Yeah, I let the flies out for biology class. We are doing fruit fly experiments, and we need fresh, virgin fruit flies or the experiment will be off. Fruit flies become sexually active 6-8 hours after hatching, so we can’t use them if they have already mated, because they retain the sperm cells and those can show up in later matings.
We have 4 people in our ‘teams’. I, the 8:00am, let them all out because they’ve been in the tube for about 11-12 hours. The 12:30 person goes in and counts the newly hatched flies and sorts them into a male or female tube, depending on sex. The 4:00 person is supposed to do the same, and then the 8:00pm person is supposed to do the same. Then I get up in the morning and let them all out, and we start over.
I bet you understand more now, but if I bet I had just said ‘fruit fly experiment’ I wouldn’t had to have explained anything. lol
I HATE unexpected company like that.
I would have had to say….
"I am sorry, but I am not up to having unexpected company. We will HAVE to make it another time."
That is plain and simple.
They should get the idea.
