Y’all, seriously, half an hour ago I was explainin’ (yet again) to someone about how she would have to go to a website to view and/or print her paystubs. She said, to my face mind you, and I quote… “I don’t know how to get on the internet. I just use my computer to read my email and look at facebook.” :dubious: I very patiently explained that by those very acts she does indeed know how to get on the internet. A lightbulb might have gone off in her haid. Then again it could have been the rest of her brain cells died off at that point. I did not laugh in her face. Go Me! **{{{'Mika}}}** so sorry about your real mother’s death. Also, welcome back! I work for a nfp as well. I don’t get sex and clowns though. I get incredible amounts of stoopid instead. **Spidey** I used real nails and a real hammer. So far everything is still on the walls. However, I now want to stick bubblegum on walls. 😃 ---

Just like stuffing the refrigerator full of food, stuffing the cabinets full of food, and piling boxes in the living room. Like one of my friends said, they are like dogs pissing to mark their territory. If I borrow something from you, if you let me use it, I should return it to the same spot I found it and in the same shape or better. In this case I would have parked it where I found it and probably run it through a wash and/or filled the tank. To me that’s just being basically polite. ---

I have been informed that tonight I shall dine at the local good Eye-talian place because OYKW is beset with a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for lasagna. They do make a good lasagna and are right generous with portions so, works for me! 😃 ---

{{{ **Mika** }}} **Swampy** do you hang curtains? II agree **Ruble** , it was the way I was taught. Bring it back the same or better. I feel like hell, just woke up. Monday night, really early Toosday am I was having a dream about ghosts. I opened my eyes and there was Sah-son standing next to my bed. I jumped and scared him which made him jump. He had come in to check on the dog, scared me to death and I had trouble getting back to sleep. Then of course I was sleeping so well Toosday morning until the Hounds from Hell woke me. Last night but really early this morning I woke up because Sah-son was standing in my doorway saying fricket fricket. I said what is a fricket? He said nooooo cricket!!! My son is such a wuss sometimes. When he went into his bedroom a cricket on the door jumped on him and he wanted me to look him over to make sure the cricket wasn’t still on him. Once again I had trouble falling back to sleep. Then my alarm went off at 4am for me to take my pills and that was it. I was up all morning. He’d better not wake me tonight, but it won’t matter because if he doesn’t the dog will, or my bladder will. The good news today is that I don’t have to be there for the gas to be turned on. They send the same courtesy message to everybody, not much of a courtesy message if it’s the wrong message. The bad news is I can’t get groceries delivered anymore because that doesn’t happen in Hagerstown. I hate to shop. ---

**Sari** I do indeed hang curtains. Ok, I don’t so much as have curtains as those topper thingys but they still had to be hung. I shall shortly depart irk and head to the Eyetalian place. An early dindin has been decided upon because OYKW needs to deal with paperirk stuff after he eats, poor thing. Managin’ a home health agency comes with a loooooooooot of paperirk. Way more than I could stand and I sometimes complain about the amount I have to deal with. Laterz! ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Check under carpets, behind things (including furnace ducts) and stuff like that. Especially if any of the people who lived there were Depression or WW II era. . . . . Ooo! Are we thinking of stashings? I’ve heard of people taking the face plates off of switches or outlets and then dangling something down into the wall by a string. Also heard of freezing things in tupperware full of water, stashing things in baggies in the toilet tank, and taping things to the bottom of drawers or letting them fall behind drawers, if the dresser has a solid bottom or solid separaters between drawer spaces. Not that I want to encourage anyone. Just playing along. Yesterday afternoon, my son sent me a picture of a tiny chihuahua that had come running up to him on the porch. He asked around and found out it belongs to the neighbors just to the west of us. They were out, but it had been returned by the time I got home. I really hope they’re not trying to keep it in the back yard while they’re at work. That yard couldn’t keep larger dogs in when the previous neighbors were there. Our back yard is also tiny dog permiable and our dogs don’t play well with other dogs that come into their yard. Fortunately, they’re inside dogs, so for now we’ll just make sure the yard is clear before letting them out. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from the ingestion of Eyetalian commestibles. Both of us had the lasagna and both of us have leftovers for N.O.L. tomorrow. YUM! Ok, that’s all I got for now. I should go do sump’n cause I’m all sleepified after eatin’ all that. I probably will just stay right here on teh intartoobz, however. ---
