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.
– Black and white skinny tail cat at my shoulder on the window sill – Another black and white cat, fat tail, asleep on the twin bed – A good man sleeping in the bedroom – A new car that gets ~45mpg – A new liver that seems to be doing nicely – Dr. Nineteen…
I’m getting emails with the subject line “Returned mail: User unknown” from [email protected]. The strange thing is that I’ve never sent email to the addresses that are coming back to my attention. The email has attachments to it. That’s to be expected on returned email alerts. It’s also to be expected if you’ve been sent…
Ran to the post office today and got two little boxes to mail little things in. Ran home, packed said little things, used way too much tape shutting little things into little boxes, and ran back out to the post office. About five feet from the garage door on my second trip to the post…
Don’t mistake desperation for “courage”. (wry grin) I’m not sure what it says about a person when they form better relationships using electrons than they do using traditional means of communication. Sometimes it is far easier to reach out to a stranger than to a proven friend, though. I don’t know where things stand with…
BarnacleBoo’s lateste entry What’s your basic motivation? is making me think. And thinking hurts. But OK, let’s see where I can go with this. Trying to answer, I instead keep hitting the wall of “I know what I want, but why do I want it?” I find myself giving objectives, not reasons. I want to…
OK, this is going to be liver transplant intensive. I want to get this written down in one place while I still have half a handle on all the information they attempted to drown me in this morning. Feel free to skim/skip. First of all the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) website came highly…
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.
