> [@gotpasswords](#): > > Yeah, it does tangle up the traffic. It’s bad enough on the expected routes like the freeway exits going to the Speedway, but what’s worse is when people think to themselves: The traffic on Bruton Smith will be brutal. Hmmm, this road looks like it goes from 77 to that area… > > Next thing I know, it’s bumper to bumper traffic going past my house and I have to decide if I really need dinner, or if a trip to the grocery store can wait until midnight. Charlotte is like that for football, too. House is clean, groceries are bought, watching a Doctor Who marathon. hockey tonight. Life is good. ---

Got my peppers and horseradish planted, then quit for the day because I could. I’ll plant radishes, green beans, and cantaloupe tomorrow. After fishing, and while smoking. ---

Sorry about the screams, everyone. My phone barfed HARD. Even my [walking techfix](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WalkingTechfix) husband is having a lot of trouble with it. ---

Made a good start on the patio and will finish it tomorrow. My son mowed the yard and is now grilling hamburgers for dinner. Damn! Now that he’s on the verge of leaving for college, he’s started being useful around the house. :mad: 🙂 ---

I have it functioning again, but gotta reinstall a LOAD of apps, get pictures, music, and such reinstalled, and get things tweaked to my liking again. Not how I wanted to spend my afternoon. :mad: ---

Made it to the store. Spent $39 at the corner store, that is too much! Irk has been irksome. Columbo comes on in 10 minutes, my Sunday night thrill! I don’t know why I have been craving potato chips. Usually I don’t like them much but lately I can’t get enough of the barbequed kind. t least I am getting the popped kind which aren’t fried. ---

Not how I wanted to spend my afternoon. :mad: **Nettie** , go to the [play.google.com](http://play.google.com) website & signin. It’ll show you what apps you had on which device (if you have more than one) & makes it real easy to redownload 'em. No need to remember what you had or search for it again. Still some work, but less than doing it from scratch. There’s a ‘copy’ option as well; when I got my new tablet, it pushed all of the apps from my phone. I’m not sure if that works on the same device or if you need a different one, though. ---

C’mon out **Apelet**! We’re all just waiting to meet you. Virtually, anyway. Nice day. Went out and acquired basket liners and soil and the planted my little heart out. Still have a bunch to finish tomorrow, but it’s a pretty manageable amount. Am quite tired, though… So maybe I’ll just crawl into bed. Hugs all. GT ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > I need the collective voodoo of the MMP to coax this baby outta me! I hate being erudite and making amusing posts when one of us is in difficulty. ☹ Best wishes, April. You’ve done this before, I believe, and have a Husband to help. Although I wouldn’t be much help at a time like this, Helpful Husband that I try to be. 🙂 ---

Although I wouldn’t be much help at a time like this, Helpful Husband that I try to be. 🙂 Humor is always appropriate, IMHO The problem is last time it was all done to me, I didn’t have anything to do with it except lay there and be drugged up and cut on. This time it’s a sit and wait game and I am not being very patient. My husband was a huge support both before and afterwards. He basically took care of me and twin infants for two months. ---
