That’s what I mean **FCM** , I won’t know until I file _next_ year. I have a long wait. **Sunny** - I think there comes a time when enjoyment of life outweighs longevity. I found the HS start and end dates, no such luck with college. I think we should go ahead and submit it, we can fix it later if we need to. Tonight’s dinner is fend for yourself night. ---

> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > Big\*\*\* PITA\*\*\* that is because they want dates that include days. > HTF do we know what day he started HS. We know the month and year, but the _DAY_!!! I’ve filled out lots of apps that require _a_ day. I usually just put the 1st or 31st; never been challenged on it yet. However, for school, put something like the 4th - after Labor Day. > [@Sahirrnee](#): > > I have got the laziest dog. > Whenever he wants up on the couch with me he puts his front paws up and expects me to pick him up. He _can_ jump up but he’d rather not. Not a big deal for that. > Now he wants to lay on the loveseat, and he _can_ get up by himself, except he will put his front paws up and turn at look at me to help him up. If he thinks for one second I am going to get up and walk across the room to pick him up he is out of his mind. When L-pup got older, she could no longer hop up onto the sofa (or bed). I would help her up, & then sit on the floor petting her, while wondering to myself what was wrong with this picture. > [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I feel I should know what “DCNR” means, but I do not.

It’s cheaper than going to jail… I don’t know about that; three hots & a cot that you don’t need to pay for. No food expense, no heating/housing expense, no decisions on what to wear today. For some people that’s an ideal arrangement. 😉 Fighting w/ xl graphs - all to make a mockup so what I do isn’t really going to be used anyway. Grrrr! ---

> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > That’s what I mean **FCM** , I won’t know until I file _next_ year. Same with me - I’ve always had extra withheld because the stupid gummint calculators leave me owing money at the end of the year. Even with Married no deductions, I still had to have an extra $100/month held back to get us close to breaking even. And now with \*\*FCD \*\*starting this business, I just don’t know… He wants to go out for supper tonight, but I don’t want to leave the house. I had a very busy day and my brain is fried. I found a small hunk of steak in the freezer - maybe I’ll do something with that for supper. Tho I’d prefer if supper magically appeared. It’s so hard being me… 😛 ---

The sunbeams have returned from school. Quiet has descended upon the land. For now. Shortly shall arise “what’s for dinner? I hate that. Can we have something else? Well, _I_ hate that.” To be finished with the grand finale, “well, that’s what I’m making, so set the table and sit down.” A perennial favorite, this show plays often. I’m predicting a real barn-raiser tonight.:rolleyes: ---

Yay for OMS feeling better. I hope that Pooka can be made comfortable. I blocked 7 hours today to work on my project and got mostly caught up. I should have the presentation finished tomorrow. Saturday, one of my friends is coming over to set my Roku up again. Sometime in the afternoon, I’ll have coffee with SIL. Sunday will be the annual Superbowl/birthday party at a friend’s house. The game will be on the big screen in the living room, a jam session in the master suite, food in the kitchen, ping pong and air hockey in the garage and, if the weather cooperates, a fire in the firepit out on the patio and a trampoline in the yard for any kids who come. Guess which room I’ll be hanging out in mostly? 😛 ---

Raining and cold (down to 39F and dropping). Attended the local AYSO Soccer Board meeting and ended up with the job of recruiting and training new 8U referees for the fall. Can’t really complain since I lobbied for the job and wrote a 3-page plan of action, but now I’ve got to do some work (bah!). 2 out of three Utility bills paid (water and electric; gas comes later (and yes spidey/flytrap/ruble, I knows what I said)). Out side of that a relatively quiet day. To all canines and felines, get to feeling better (and I guess your humans should also be well…). **Midget,** take care of yourself. ---

Her response was always the same, “Just get me what you’re getting.” This ticked him off to no end. Finally one day he got really fed up & when she said, “Just get me what you’re getting.” He responded with, “I’m getting lox & jelly…on white bread.” (which was the most disgusting combo he could think of) _Never_ again did she utter, “Just get me what you’re getting.” I miss him! ☹ ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > \*\*Walter \*\*- what part of Merrylande do you claim? I spent my formative years just blocks from the Towson/Parkville dividing line. My family is all still within the metro Baltimore area, but spousal unit and I have settled in St. Mary’s county among the Amish. OK, not among, but we see them a lot and buy their produce. Well, **FCM** , we have several areas which we claim in Merrylande…first, the dear Mrs. **Walter White** hails from East Bawlmer, she attended Patterson HS and graduated in 1981…both of us were born in John Hopkins…I was born in the Homeland area of Bawlmer, moved as a child to Lutherville, then a couple of years later to north Bawlmer County to an area called Monkton and attended Baltimore Friends School on Charles Street… The dear Mrs. **Walter White** and my first home together was literally two blocks south of Parkville just over the Bawlmer City line, so we certainly tread the same ground… My remaining family (Mother, sister and BIL) all live just north of Loch Raven in Glen Arm, my wife’s surviving family (two brothers) up-rooted and moved to AZ…we still have many friends and connections in and around Bawlmer and visit once or twice a year… St. Mary’s is a beautiful area, all of the Chesapeake Bay is beautiful, my grandmother lived on the other side in Easton for years… I don’t know if you’re a Seinfeld fan, the wife and I are, we still laugh when Elaine’s boss calls it, “TOE-son”, she says, “It’s Towson…” ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Today, my sister (who lives in Nevada, while I live in Virginia) posted on her LiveJournal that her roommate has gotten into the hard drugs like heroin, and will be leaving to try and get clean in Nevada. Remembering an incident with her previous roommate, I asked Laura what steps she’ll be taking to ensure that her roommate doesn’t just sell Laura’s new XBox for drugs. She said she’ll hide it while she’s not home. _Speaking_ of selling things for drug money, Laura’s roommate has sold her (the roommate’s) TV to her mother, meaning that even when Laura picks up the XBox on her way home tonight, she won’t have anything to play it on for a little while. Laura’s roommate has promised to replace it with a nicer TV when she gets her tax rebate. And, of course, Laura will have to find a new roommate; she can’t afford this place by herself. ---

Mornin’ all. Week one of irk experience completed; lotsa cleaning things, hacking at a hedge, plus some interesting stuff mixed in, but I think they save up the big boring job for when they have students in so they have extra bodies. Swapped days at my paid job for tomorrow, so’s I could have today off, which was good planning, 'cos I’m knackered. Doing unfamiliar stuff is always tiring. Bit covered in bruises and scratches as well, and I have some sort of a cold thing, but no-one got any proper injuries, so that’s good. Got quite a bit of stuff to do today, but very little inclination to do it. I shall do some later, depending on the weather. ---

Holy crap, **Walter** , we really were practically neighbors. My maternal grandparents lived on Register St (off Gough and Broadway) for many years, then moved to S. Ellwood - about 3 blocks from Patterson Park. My youngest sis lived there till she had to get her knee replaced and couldn’t handle living alone any more. My paternal grandparents lived on Cambridge and their house backed on Boston St - 2 doors away from Sip-n-Bite (or Slurp-n-Burp, if you prefer.) My bro lives in Timonium, another sis is in Linthicum, and my mom and the other sis are not too far from Jarretsville. And my dad, grandparents, and a mess of aunts and uncles are buried in Dundalk. Small world… 😉 Terrible night last night. I woke at least 4 times. I came home with a nasty stiff neck and it was almost impossible to get comfortable. I foresee a long day. And tylenol for breakfast. In honor of Ground hog day, I’m having a sausage biscuit! 😃 Happy Firday!!! ---

Quite common, yes; I’ve worked in companies where they started asking several months in advance of each batch of students “please come up with stuff for the trainees!” The idea is to choose tasks which aren’t urgent, are relatively easy, and while likely to be pretty repetitive still give people a good idea of what’s involved in the job.
