> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > At work 0550 local (yes, I really do get up that early…albeit I have no idea why…guess old habits die hard). Most of my workdays started at 6, which suited me fine. I’m a morning person and if I sleep past 8, I feel like I’ve wasted the day. Shortly, I will leave with a truck full of garbage and recycling - the convenience center opens in about 10 minutes and it’s 6 miles away, so I’ll give them a chance to secure the gates in place, then off I’ll go. Once I get home, I’ll have a little time to kill before I have to go to the Dr. It’s already starting to feel a little muggy. Slight chance of rain later today - I hope it happens. Altho I do have to water the plants on the porch - they’re under the overhand, so rain doesn’t get to them. And on that note, it’s trash time! WOOHOO!!! ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > On my last set of clean U’wear and also have a pile of shirts in the basket, so it’s LAUNDRY NIGHT when I get home. Doesn’t hafta be laundry night as other options include going commando, turning ‘em inside out for a second wearing :eek: or going to the sto’ & buy some more! As for the ladies, when going shopping for more skirts/dresses make sure the fabric is of an appropriate thickness. This PSA brought to you by the woman in the train station, who, when backlit in the stairwell may as well have not been wearing anything on her lower half as her lovely floral print skirt/dress became totally see-thru. :eek: :o :smack: 🙂 Now I gotta go to the first of my **six hours** of conf calls today. :eek: ☹ ---

But I guess that’s not done any longer. Then again, maybe she did it deliberately, the hussy!!! I’ve taking care of the trash and recycling and I’ve had a little snack since my appointment interferes with lunch time. The house is closed and many fans are moving the air around. Gonna be too hot, dammit. ---

Howdy from beautiful, downtown Thomasville, Jawja! Really, T’ville is a pretty town. I am havin’ N.O.L. at this neat downtown eatery that serves good soup ‘n sammiches.

Dindin shall be at our fav-o-rite Mexican place so I look forward to steak fajitas in my future. Food’s here so it’s chow time! Laterz! ---

I’m wearing a slip under my skirt. I ALWAYS wear a slip with dresses or skirts (unless the dress or skirt is lined). Most women just don’t know better. ---

Sah-dog: I want to go out Sari: No you don’t, it’s pouring rain outside. Sah-dog: Yes Yes! I really need to go out Sari: Are you sure you want to go out? Sah-dog: Oh yes please please please let me out Sari: Okaaay if you are sure Sah-dog: Oh YUK! It’s wet out here, the steps are wet, I don’t want to get my feet wet. I’ll try to other steps. Oh YUK! These steps are wet too. It’s icky out here, I want to go back in. Sari: Told you so. So we come back in, I get my lunch from the microwave (Campbell’s Chunky Vegetable Beef soup if you want to know), carry it to the living room and before I can take the first bite… Sah-dog: Where’s my treat? I went outside, where’s my treat? ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > Doesn’t hafta be laundry night as other options include going commando, turning ‘em inside out for a second wearing :eek: or going to the sto’ & buy some more! ☹ I’ve been known to go to Target for a six pack to stave off the dreaded laundry day another week before. Don’t judge. 😛 The boss is back from recuperatin’. He showed pics of the bike. The mini apes looked like a pretzel. He said that a front wheel bearing going to crap was what sent him down the bank. Tonight is bowling. I hope enough of us lousy bowlers show to have a lane to ourselves. I’m getting tired of buying beer. 😛 ---

Dentist first thing this morning, to refill a tooth to fix a packing problem. Still numb. Otherwise all is well. **Sari** , my dog also hates rain. We don’t do that dance because she never, ever asks to go out, but otherwise, that’s us. ---

> [@peedin](#): > > I’m wearing a slip under my skirt. I ALWAYS wear a slip with dresses or skirts (unless the dress or skirt is lined). That’s because you’re one classy broad! 😉 I decided to stop in at the local thrift store to see if I could score something I could wear to the wedding. No luck. Oh well. So I’m finished lunch and waiting for rain - it sure looks like it wants to rain. ---

That’s **AWESOME!!!** 😃 disgusting, but awesome Going back to the OP, **Ruble** have you ever been on US-15/I-99 N of Williamsport? That was specifically the road I was referencing; beautiful - mountains & forests, but nothing I’d ever want to slog thru at slow speed with all of my worldly belongings. ---

I do, too unless it’s one of those long peasant skirts. That’s the way I was raised. I also wear a camisole under a nice blouse. I’ve come to the conclusion that all men over the age of 65 need to wear undershirts all the time, no exceptions. I don’t care if it’s hot, I do not need to see you poking out. Put on a bra, SIR. ---
