The "What are your summer plans?" MMP

Every time you call and ask, they move someone ahead of you.

Not a problem - I called them once, 4 hours ago. :stuck_out_tongue: We’ve been taking our cars to these guys for at least 8 year and they’ve always treated us right. I have no problems with their service - the fact that they found the problems they did speaks volumes about their attention to detail.

It’ll be done when it’s done. Meanwhile, I wait. No biggie.

::sigh:: no go on this house.

Sorry Apes for all the troubles in your life right now. As hard as it is call everybody and explain your situation and that it is temporary. Set up some payment plans. If you can’t handle it see if somebody can pretend to be you and help you with it. I’ve done it for my friends, they have done it for me in the past. It’s easier to make the calls when your not emotionally involved with it. Most companies are more than willing to work with you.

Apes, I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all this hell. Gentle hugs to you.

Sari, I’m sorry about the house not working out, again. Damnit!

Things here are movin’ along. I’ve got just about everything all done. I made homemade spaghetti sauce, yesterday, and I also made the meatballs. That’ll be for dinner tonight. I need to make breadsticks, at some point, too. I ended up making two loaves of cinnamon & raisin bread (Which turned out WAY better than I expected! :slight_smile: ) yesterday, too.

I should start a small load of laundry, since I’m just taking a break. I feel guilty when I sit around, and I know there is something else that I could be doing. Do they have a pill for that? :smiley:

MrAce should be home this evening, sometime. Well, unless things change, which happens quite often. Usually every single Friday, something gets changed, and he won’t make it home until Saturday. We’ll see. Right now, he’s somewhere in northern Indiana, and he’s got to deliver his load, then, if plans stay as they are, he’ll head over to Decatur, Illinois, to pick up a load, which will bring him by home. He’ll be heading out again late, late Sunday night, and going to somewhere in Ohio to deliver the load.

I’m glad I’m about done with stuff around here. My back, a little bit below my right shoulder blade, has been hurting like the devil the past couple of days. I must have pulled something. You’d think I’d have remembered hurting it, though. Now today, it’s burning in that area like it’s on fire, I swear. It takes spells. The burning does stop, eventually, then I’m fine, until it starts burning, again. I have NO idea why. I figure I really boogered it up this time. :smack:

I’m finished with my babbling. Carry on.

Have a good Firday!

So much for thinking I could do a load of laundry today,

The HFH who think she is the only person who lives here has clothes in the washer and dryer. She is suck a selfish inconsiderate (tone of expletives) rude assed bitch.
This is why I have to have a laundry day because she had no respect for anybody else, she acts like this is her house and she doesn’t give a damn who she inconveniences as long as she gets what she wants.
I am so sick of her (expletive) skanky ass.

So you still have your gallbladder Ace?

Sari, your sister is a wicked handful! I’m wishing that you can get out of there soon.

Yes, I do have my gallbladder, and I’m 52 years old. Getting old sucks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Busy day yesterday; the landlord had a gig, and I got to play roadie again seein’ as none of the band have cars and there was a massive amount of stuff. Dropped all the stuff at the venue, then had irk at a wimmin’s football match, then straight back to watch the gig and move all the gear back to the practice space. Didn’t get home til about 3 ay emm.

As Boofae said, we have warm here- predicted to last a while and all- so the washing is out on the line, and I’ve been busy planting out squasheses and stuff. I’m away basically all of next week, so I need to get a bunch of gardenin’ jobs done before I go.
Plus I need to get rid of these bleedin’ ants that climbed into my bag while I was gardenin’ before, and have just climbed back out in my bedroom. Bah.

We are having a problem with ants as well. I can’t figure out where they are coming in. The perimeter of the house has been sprayed, I think the ones that are in got stuck in and can’t get back out. I sprinkled some cinnamon in the cabinets, I hope that will keep them out of the food. In the meantime we are killing the ones we see.

Ace I think gallbladder can show up as a pain in the right shoulder blade.http://www.ask.com/question/what-causes-pain-in-the-right-shoulder-blade
Sorry.

**Nut **- do they pay you for your roadie duties or is this an act of friendship? No reason for asking - just being nosy. :smiley:

I’ve got the truck back. Ouch. Well, no, actually OUCH!!!

But you kinda need brakes, so we couldn’t exactly put it off. Guess I’ll be looking for work when I get back from my cruise… Stoopit bills. On the plus side, I see lots of drafter vacancies, even one where BBBobbio works! So we’ll see what October brings.

We have successfully used a clear goo that the ants take home and poison their buddies with. It takes several applications, since apparently it tastes so good that ants keep coming for more while their pals are home dying in agony.

We use Terro ant killer. Last week, our daughter put out a couple of the plastic things, with the syrupy poison in it, because ants decided that her bedroom was a nice place to visit. They were totally gone in two days, and haven’t returned, yet.

{{{Apes}}} people really can be understandin’ about stuff like that especially if approached, like Sari said. Still sucks though. Hope things are better soonest.

{{{Sari}}} sorry about the house and the continuin’ HFH woes.

Mr. IPMHDGD has been dealt with, and I’ve had NOL. It’s now the downside of the afternoon and Firday. Come on QuitO’Clock!

He pays at least for fuel, plus a bit for the messing around. Everyone’s a bit poor at the moment, and they’re still at the playing for beer level, so it’s not much. Last time it was instead of paying the month’s bills, which was a pretty decent deal.

Howdy from da cave! I declare it to be the weekend! WOOHOO! As soon as OYKW calls to tell me he’s about to head out from irk, I shall order up pizza online and he shall go and fetch it. Now that’s the way to make dindin! :smiley:

Just got a call from a guy who wants the laminate - FINALLY!!! I had someone call about it and not leave a number, but this guy said he’ll come by tomorrow. Fingers crossed - I want that stuff gone!

Dunno what I’m going to do for supper. I ate the leftover stuffed cabbage for lunch. Maybe I’ll just have a sammich.

Defining “under” as towards the floor, mine starts out as a backache under my right shoulder blade. It gets stronger, until I get sharp stabby pain that radiates right to left just below my rib cage. Being a guy, I won’t ever know for sure, but the stabby part sure seems like it could be a good analog for labor pain.

My GB fills up with sludge, not stones. The backache is the GB overinflating, and the stabby pain is the GB in contractions forcing everything out, sludge, bile, whatever.

ETA: Going to see Godzilla 3-D at 7. w00t!

Pizza has been ingested and mowage is about to commence.

BBBobbio any more news on the gall bladder divorce?

Laterz Y’all!

{{{{Apes}}}}

It has been a long freakin’ day and I’ve got another one tomorrow. Also the Big Semiannual Corporate Inspection is next Wednesday and I had damn well better have some backup that morning. :mad:

I hate six-day workweeks.

I’m going to quit and knit. I’s tahred and I’ll probably crash early tonight. MWAH!
