Just got an email that the chairs are ready for pickup at Home Depot, so we’ll swing by there on our way home from dinner. Yay! ---

**MOOOOOOM** I bought a patio table and chairs from the Martha Stewart Collection at KMartha several years ago. As I was puttin’ it together I decided that she deserved life in prison without parole for that table and chairs.😃 It’s a nice table and chairs but it was haaaaaaaaaaay-ell to put together. Hope your stuff is easier to put together. I wanna go home! However, I must irk. Poor me. ---

\*\*swampy \*\*- the tables weren’t difficult to put together, but being Made In China, the hardware was pretty cheezy. The quality assurance for the washers was pretty much non-existent. They provided a socket tool to put it together, but I got a socket and ratchet from the basement - made it a LOT easier to assemble. Now I need to scrub the railings around the deck. They’re kinda green. I’m hoping the Magic Eraser will do the job. ---

Howdy from da cave! I have jambalaya simmerin’ away. Smells so nummy! Jambalaya, sallit and garlic bread from dindin. MMMMMMMMMMMM! **MOOOOOOM** if you’re done with that socket and ratchet give it back to the basement or the basement might not ever lend you any more tools. 😃 ---

The socket and ratchet is staying upstairs till the rest of the furniture is delivered and assembled. 😛 We’re leaving in a couple of hours to meet up with the biker gang for Chinese food. I’ll need to change - I’m not going in shorts. And I’ve got to find a Lowe’s receipt - the sprinkler I bought is a piece of crap and I need to return it. I HATE HATE HATE all the made-in-China crap that the big box stores stock. I don’t think it’s possible to buy anything but the cheap Chinese crap. It really pisses me off. I know I’ll get a refund, but I’ve still got to pay for the gas to drive 30+ miles. _grrrrrrrrrr_ What happened to the good ol’ days when everything was made in USA - Oh yeah, it’s more \*profitable \*to have it made by sub-minimum-wage laborers overseas - plus the customer has to keep replacing the crap products. _grrrrrrrrrrr_ ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > And I thought she said the story was not pleasant for her. She gets a pass on this from my corner. The \*dream \*was not pleasant. The shaman is actually a pretty cool guy. > [@peedin](#): > > Oh, you can NOT make a statement like that without 'splaining how you know a shaman. There is a story behind this, I’m sure! It’s kind of a boring story. We met on LiveJournal about twelve years ago, met in person a few times, I helped him with a couple of fireworks shows at the Eastern NC Boy Scout Camporee. He’s an ordinary guy mainly–except that he takes fantastic photographs, especially of lightning. He’s also a Shawnee with red hair. His Shawnee ancestry was recent enough to get him adopted into the tribe about ten years back. I’m not entirely sure how he became a shaman. He started to tell me the story once but got interrupted and never finished it. This was actually the first time I’d encountered him as a shaman. Even in a dream–especially in a dream–it seemed very significant. ---

Thanks for the vibes! It’s a lovely one bedroom, 1.5 bath, in a very clean building with lots of older folk. Some near my age - some possibly in their 90s but still walking their dogs, Godblessem. It’s not glamorous, but it’s nice. and I have my own washer dryer. Y’all can toss the confetti now. _::collapses from sheer exhaustion::_ ---
