Pie - you could always put up a sign on your door “Flyers By Permision Only, all others will be removed”
**{{{Soapy}}}
Pie**, I’d cop a 'tude and put up several menus on the tat parlor’s windows. When/if they call you out on it, tell them turn about is fair play, and they can either make a deal with you for a business relationship (business cards and/or promotional discounts), or stop taping flyers altogether.
Nothing wrong with being a shameless self-promoter for your business.
I’d be annoyed too Pie, but I would take it down the first time and see if they put it back up.
Spoke to my Dr.'s nurse. They definitely want to see me today to see why I’m not getting better and why the pain is worse. I have a 9:45 a.m. appointment.
Feel better soon, McUne, ear infections are no fun (says someone who spent three days in the horsepistol on IV anti-bees for one of those nasties).
Good news! The phone I ordered from Amazon came this morning, it works fine and it’s such a relief to have a phone that works properly again. The back-up phone is ok but the functionality leaves quite a bit to be desired. The guy who sold me the phone was even kind enough to leave a load of messages and family photos on it to entertain me.
I’m off to London tomorrow with my mother to see the Hadrian exhibition at the British Museum which should be fun. We have tickets for a 2pm slot so that will just give us time to get down there by train and leave our stuff at the hotel (conveniently just across the road from the museum) and then we have the rest of the afternoon and evening to ourselves.
Do try not to miss me too much, won’t you?

Nice pans, rebo!! I’m all jealous-like!
There were some incredible clouds in the sky on the way in. Impossible to describe, but beautiful in a dark-and-threatening-cloud sort of way.
TGIF! This week has been looooooooong.
Well, I guess I will wait and see if it happens again before I do anything. I also guess I’m just crabby in general. When I got home from water aerobics last night I walked in on my parents fighting. It turns out they were fighting about who is going to ‘watch’ my grandparents if we aren’t at home. Sorry, but, I know that they’re old, but I still think that they’re more capable than all the rest of us put together. I don’t think they need a babysitter. I also don’t need anymore crap to worry about than I already have.
Did you ever start to wish that you could go back to another time in your life and then realize that you didn’t like it all that much either? And now you’re here and it’s no bundle of joy.
Pie
Your resident cloud of doom
yes
Happy Firday everyone!!
(((Soapy)))
Nava, you might want to make sure you’re trying Hulu, and not Hubu…
Pie that would annoy me too.
Yay for Amazon!
Ick for the ear infections McUne; they suck. I’ve had a lot of them. Cipro is good. The lesser antibiotics quit working for my ears when I was about 10.
Later!!
Yay! Firday! And it’s snowing! So much for taking the shortest route to Boise tomorrow…mumblemumblebitchmoanwhine…but it’s so pretty!
{{{{{Pie}}}}}
McUne, ear infections are horrible. Get well, dang it!
You know how there’s sooOOOOoooo many books and movies and just directly people who talk and gab and make mouhtnoises about how childhood and/or the teen years are such a wonderful time yadda blah and it would be so wonderful to be able to go back?
I always check. Nope, mine still sucked. I spent them waiting to be 18 and go away and I still don’t see any reason to want to be that age again.
mouse, it was a place that offered TV shows for free. Until you clicked on one and then it said “not for people abroad, sorry.”
My crystal ball says that quit time will arrive early today. I’ve watered the horses in my rental car (important, as they were already whining) and this afternoon I want to go by the Salvation Army store and see about grabbing these light shelves I saw, which I think will go well in my new flat. I signed the contract on the new flat yesterday and get the keys next Tuesday first thing in the morning. Oh, and thanks BooFae, you’ve reminded me that I need to call the Phone People about transferring my line. Excuse me while I go do phonework.
Hello again everyone!
And now an update from my appt., not that you all care about it, but if you were wondering, read on, lol.
Dr. says that I still have ear infections in both ears and he thinks that the left ear may have an infection in the drum. He says that I need to me on more powerful drugs.
I am to continue my Cipro drops twice a day, also adding in Cipro antibiotic twice a day and 1-2 Percocet as needed, every four hours. I am to be off work at least through Monday when I go in for a follow-up, possibly longer, depending on how I am feeling.
Now I need a nap.
Back from grocery shopping. Scruffy and Bernie are being groomed. I got a buncha groceries and stuff I needed, plus the vent covers for the apartment. SIL didn’t do either thing I asked him to do until I asked him AGAIN, but they’re done, so that’s good.
I had a whopper junior lunch - was not impressed. It appears I’ve done well by avoiding fast food joints for lunch. Anyway, it’ll still be a couple of hours before I have to fetch the critters, so I’m going to get into some grubbies and see about getting something accomplished. SIL is doing laundry, so mine will have to wait till tomorrow when they’re at the RenFaire.
Kitteh is making clicking sounds as he walks thru the kitchen - methinks a pedicure is in order…
Ta!!
Good morning everyone.
I’m sorry to read about your poor ears, MCUNE. Hopefully, this round of stronger meds will make things better.
{{{{{{Soapy}}}}}}
I thought I was going to get a nice relaxing day, but I guess not. My daughter has talked me into picking her up from university, so I have leave the house. I need to hit the grocery store anyway, but all the same, it would have been nice to just have one day that was all mine.
On the upside, I don’t have to clean. My son took care of that for me.
Pie, I wouldn’t let it get to me. If they do it again, see you can tape up some of your menus on their business windows. Fair is fair. You’d be damn surprised at where you can get good business contacts.
Nice pans, rebo. One day, I’ll invest in some really high quality cookware. I have a set that I purchased when I bought this house, but they’re maaaybe mid-tier range.
Time for some more coffee.
Hugs & howdies–zooming through on my way to an interview at the credit union! Keep fingers &/or toesies crossed for me today because I need a job something fierce…
Fingers crossed for you **Smartie. ** I’m sending good thoughts your way.
Fingers crossed for Smartie! Hope the interview goes really well.
Ow, McUne, sorry the ears aren’t better. Glad they saw you again.
Hugs, Soapy. Hope things get better soon.
Is it the apartment you wanted, Nava?
I’m home early!!! Yay!!!
And about to get busy finishing off my room.
Back later with progress report.
GT
You all are uncommonly quiet this week. Sure…sure…I finally get to spend some time cruising the Dope guilt-free and no one is around. I took a shower this morning…honest. I smell purty…
It is really quiet, isn’t it?
I’ve cleared out my room and cleaned the floor so that I can prime it. But firsT, the door frame.
Woo hoo.
GT
Fair enough. But in an otherwise healthy 30 year old, who is displaying nothing more than lingering upper respiratory symptoms, it’s probably overkill. IANAD, but it was pretty apparent to me that he had nothing to suggest anything along the lines of pneumonia, sinus infection or bronchitis… nor would the doc have had the ability to identify any of the above in a two minute consult that didn’t even include a physical examination.
Apparently, this cold has a grudge against me… earlier today, Mumsy Dearest told me she’d have to cancel her visit this weekend as she’s come down with it, and now the dentist’s office just called to cancel my appointment for this afternoon because he’s going home sick. AARGH. Not that I was in any hurry to get my bridgework done, but it would’ve been nice to get the darn thing over and done with.
And now for the rest, to prove I’ve been following along like a good girl 
:
Nava, sorry you’re still in requirement hell. If it makes you feel any better, we’ve been gathering our requirements for , and they’re still not finalised. There’s at least another year to go before roll out… I may have torn out all my hair by then.
Hope you’re feeling better soon, McUne. Cipro is magical stuff.
SmartiePants, sending plenty of hire-me rays in your direction… hope they make it there on time.
Pie, add me to the chorus singing the wait-it-out song. Tear down the flyer and forget about it this time, but if they do it again, I’d say it’s fair to launch the all-out flyer war.
So much for accomplishing anything today…
I did install one vent cover and 2 adjustable duct vents. I’ll go down and do the 3rd in a little bit. I also helped SIL get his cable running in the bedroom - he needed to auto-tune it after we connected to the splitter. He and I cleaned up the kitchen/nook area so **FCD **and I can install the cabinets tomorrow. I’ve got a load of laundry going and I’ve started a pot of Navy bean soup. I’m afraid to start anything else because I’ll be getting a call soon from the groomer.
Taz is not happy. He no longer has the run of the basement. He can just go in the kitchen, nook, and living room. He was yowling at their bedroom door this morning - I’m sure he smelled Cleo down there. And pretty soon, he won’t be able to go beyond the stairs - he will not be happy. Poor Taz… 
I should probably run the vacuum cleaner in here. There are bits of Bernie all over the place. I swear, I don’t know how it is that she isn’t bald!!!
Off to be domestical.
