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.
Must study today.Must finish top of my class.Anything less: shame.
What Pattern Are You? The title of this should have been “When friends are hurting”. Except I really don’t know what to say to either of them right now. I want happy endings. I want good things to happen to good people. I want everybody to play nice. I want to go out and buy…
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…
No nibbles on my job applications yet. I hope I haven’t been deluding myself; I was convinced that this course was a quick way to get back into the workplace. It’s only been ten days since I passed the certification though, so I refuse to angst just yet. I’ll save that for next week. I…
I just received this e-mail: > Just announced on the radio … > The U.S. has asked that everyone step out on their lawns tonight at 10:30 > (10:30 EASTERN TIME…. 9:30 Central, 8:30 Mountain, 7:30 Pacific) and > light a candle. They will be taking a satellite picture of the U.S. and > posting…
I took a brief vacation from DD over the Easter weekend. I popped in now and again, but didn’t make any updates. Initially, I’d intended to just give myself a breather, but after Easter luncheon/dinner/whatever-the-heck-you-call-a-meal-at-2:00-in-the-afternoon-on-a-holiday I found I needed some time to mull things over as well. Over all, it was a good weekend. I…
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.
