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.
Yesterday it was changing my name with Social Security, and then changing it with the state on my license and registration. Today I got my new passport pictures for my passport change (they essentially make you apply for a passport all over again if you want to change your name). I was inspired to get…
my world had not yet been turned on its ear. Pardon this entry. It is the maudlin musings that have been dwelling and building deep within me for a year now. I try not to let them out to exercise too often. But today, this once, I will allow them to taste the air and…
Emerson, in case anybody cares. I’d been kicking around the idea of taking a ballroom dancing class. I’ve always wanted to learn to dance properly. The course I was considering is being taught at a local high school. Deadline to enroll is this week. This is one of the few courses I’ve come across in…
The price one pays for refusing to have one big fracking breakdown is that one ends up breaking down just a little everyday. I have to wonder if I don’t do it on purpose, though. Perhaps when grief is all you have left, it becomes imperative to hang onto the grief just a little bit….
Well, the Little Grey Shit is starting to look mighty sad. Sad Little LGSIâm not finding new ringworm lesions on her everyday anymore, but I do find another one every three days or so. The Prof has a new (very small) spot on his back. As much as I hate to do this to her,…
Only 23 more ads have come in since last I ranted. Looks like the spam artists have had a slow night. Making up for that, though, I notice that in one of my hotmail accounts that 111 little pieces of spamitis have come in today. That’s a little over the usual count, so I guess…
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.
