My half of a pump house is no more. All that is left is a load of rubble in the back of my pickup truck, one wall on the ground that’s too heavy for me to lift, and a foundation.
Only took me four years of procrastination and the need to sell the VunderLair to finally get the job done. :smack:
Howdy Y’all! Home from irk. I need to start dindin. Cubed steak 'n gravy, smashed N.O.T., field peas with snaps and bizkits. ‘Twill be nummy and da bear is gettin’ hongrified. I told OYKW we’d eat around fiveish for an early dindin tonight.
BBBobbio nuttin’ like the need to spiff a place up for sale to motivate.
I just popped in to look at the pictures, which I did not get over e-mail. Nice!
I bought a new bra recently. I remembered why I don’t do that very often–I’m right at the size where I can’t fit into the pretty bras because they’re either way too small or way too big. I’m in the middle sizes where I have a choice of ginormous boulder-holder cups or halfway decent cups in a choice of white, beige, or black. :mad: Unless I wanted padded cups or push-up cups, those are in pretty colors but I need neither padding nor pushing up. I would be happy with adequate support.
Culinary Boy’s crisis has passed–turns out one of his instructors accidentally turned in an F instead of an x-grade (the school’s version of incomplete). The mistake was quickly corrected and his money’s on the way. dances
Irk was quite irksome at one point. Just like on Saturday, I had to get a manager up to the desk to keep me from killing one of the Entitled Brats…I mean “guests.” Some of these people better be glad this job’s not worth the jail sentence I’d get for beating some sense into them. Other than that, I’m finally able to catch up on updating some concierge paperwork since I’m the only one who ever thinks about such things. :rolleyes:
Oh, Annie, I’m sorry- I missed it. Thanks, Rebo.
I got some expensive European type. Not sure. I think it was probably an okay buy, but knowing that the damn things are only supposed to keep shape for about a year no matter how much money you spend on them makes me think that $20-$30 is a fine range. I usually try to spend $15-25 but I thought I’d try a proper fitting etc.
Ouch, the money.
I gots a new (to me) desk - it got dinged up a little bit at FCD’s work and apparently it wasn’t acceptable for them, but it works fine for me. Plus it’s got a huge desktop, 3 storage compartments with doors, 2 with slots, and a 3-drawer roll-around cabinet. I have space to work and store crap! And tomorrow, my sweetie will bring home the shelf thing that mounts under for the keyboard. Me happy! 
BBBobbio - can I help you out at all on Thurs? Would youse guys like to come over for supper after?
Still haven’t had a solid night’s sleep. This coughing sucks.
C’mon Firday!!!
I will ask, SWMBO is sleeping right now. At the very least, I’d like to stop and introduce y’all…
Look! It’s mika! Hi mika!
I just have to say that I am glad I don’t need to get fitted for underwear. As long as my drawers don’t bunch up I’m happy.
What should MOOOOOOM make for dindin with the Vunders? I say coq au vin and Crepes Suzette. Other suggestions?
Pizza & beer. It’s VBob, after all.
Meatloaf and assorted sides…
If you’re my friend on Facebook, you may have seen already that my Twitter stream tonight had bunches of cool space-related stuff.
Guess the Middle-Eastern capital. (Cool night picture…)
Astronomy blog with all kinds of eclipse links

::waves at Meeks::
Gotta agree that bra shopping is NOT fun. If I find one that fits decently, I buy as many as I can afford so that I don’t have to go through the torture again for several years.
I must say that I’m astonished that no one has taken LiLi up on her offer of a picture.
Glad the doggie’s family has been found, Rebo.
When do you get to start driving again, MBG?
Annoyingly short day at work today. Lots to do; not enough time. One of my key people was out sick, so I had to go to meetings for him and ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION. :eek:
Off to knit and maybe watch something online. Woo hoo.
Hugs all.
GT
: waves frantically at Meeks :
Love you too! 
I’m greatly complimented that you chose my OP to make one of your rare appearances here, though! 
Seriously, it’s a wonder I’m getting around to answering private e-mails at all let alone thoroughly! :o
All **very **cool!
“Hey, I can see my house from here!” 
[nitpick mode]Although a better caption would be “guess the Major Middle Eastern City.”
I mean, NYC is the Capital of… something… too! right? 
The Capital of Israel is Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv
All you girls describing your bras – we need visual aids in order to help you make decisions, eh? 
Good Wednesday morning all! I’m up and caffeinating and getting ready for work. Yes, back to work today, after sleeping most of the day yesterday. I think I overindulged over the holidays and it caught up with me yesterday. :smack: That’ll teach me!
Thanks for all the great links, GT, I enjoyed them all. 
Don’t ask me about world capitals, though. ducks I haven’t had enough coffee to drink yet either, so can’t remember what else I wanted to commentate about! Probably something Swampy said - he’ll probably pop up on here just after I do. LOL
Happy Hump Day all.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. Look like it could be a rainy day in south Jawja. Today I get to go sit at glorious (not!) East Albeeeny Medical Center for three hours and help folks sign up for extra help from Social Security if desired. Ok, mostly I will be talkin’ to people about how to and with luck if anybody wants to sign 'em up via teh intertoobz from the SS website. Or, I could twiddle my thumbs for three hours. Excitatement abounds!
Herbs whatever do you mean? Why, I’d never say anything in any of my posts that would garner comment from anybody.
Today is Epiphany Eve. It says so on my calendar so it must be true! Ok, it says “Eve of The Epiphany” but that’s a silly way to say it IMO.
Ok, off to caffienate some more, feed rumbly tummy and purtify for irk. My public awaits!
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, off to irk
No caffeine and no irk at the moment. I’m up, but I don’t know why.
Good morning!
I went to bed early last night, and I’m not so blurfy today.
Swampy - I wanted to say “Good on Ya!” for taking that job and helping out the old folks with their Social Security and Medicare and stuff. I really liked the man who came out to help my Dad (and me!) at our house. He explained everything so very well, and was very patient and friendly. Just like you! MWAH!
I have a lot of training materials to read, so I can train the troops next Thursday. Oh, boy! :rolleyes: Plus a lot of reading of boring quality stuff to familiarize myself with.
<yawn>
Alas Swampy, turns out it wasn’t anything from you I wanted to commentate on, but rather for LiLi. I tried the Safeway version of truvia and did not like it at all! I don’t know how two things can supposedly be the same–one tastes good and the other tastes nasty. Stevia, though (Safeway brand truvia) - it tasted nasty to me. I’m just saying, because Nat might not like that stuff. Truvia has not paid me to say this, btw.
