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.
There was no Valentine’s dinner last night. When I got home, The Professor was asleep in bed. I woke him up to let him know I was home (per standing orders that I shouldn’t be afraid to wake him up to let him know I’m back/going out) and he said he’d be getting up shortly….
Nope, not the heart or the liver one. This is the real thing this time. Had a cardiologist appointment first thing this morning at Big City Hospital, and got my second birthday presents of the day: an increased dose of Lasix and a statin. My first birthday present? I woke up with ringworm on both…
I spend a fair amount of time outside the main building where I work, walking from point A to point B and then back again. My main route takes me up a steep concrete ramp about forty feet in length. The ramp isn’t cleared of snow when the rest of the plant is cleaned up…
There are definitely spoilers here. For those who want to read, highlight this entry to make it readable. It isn’t my intention to ruin the movie for anyone, so if you haven’t yet seen it you may want to skip this until after you’ve had a chance to view it. Having been asked what I…
Just found out that my department is hiring someone. She starts in two weeks. She’ll be filling a new position that didn’t exist before she was hired. I am to be numbered among her other responsibilities. This means that I will no longer report directly to the big boss, but to her. That isn’t necessarily…
Lunch table conversation: “Hey Booker! You’ll never guess who spoke at my church yesterday!” “You got me, Pookey. Who?” “We had a lady give the sermon! Nobody showed up!” “Didn’t your church vote against that years ago? I remember you talking about that.” “I don’t know why they have to change things like this. It’s…
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.
