Something I've never even noticed, never mind wondered about , sent to me from Mabs :

When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered
which loaf is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness?
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a
week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a
different color twist tie. They are:

Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie - not white which
is Friday's (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color
Blue - Green - Red - White-Yellow. Monday through Saturday. Very easy to
remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store
and sure enough the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and
even the one with the plastic clips have different colors

Sorry I've been more boring than usual. I'm painting the kitchen, and find no time to be semi-witty or amusing. I guess I could tell you about brushing my hair after my shower this morning. I couldn't pull the brush through it, then found lumps of white primer on the ends. I guess I'll do the bun thing instead of the pony tail next time.

Nice.

Subject: Say Again?

An Italian guy is out picking up chicks in Rome. While at his favorite bar,
he manages to attract one rather Scandinavian looking blonde woman.
So they're back at his place, and sure enough,they go at it. After a long
while he climaxes loudly. Then he rolls over, lights up a cigarette and asks
her,So .... you finish?" After a slight pause she replies, "No."

Surprised, but pleasantly, he puts out his cigarette, rolls back on top of
her, and has his way with her again, this time lasting even longer than the
last... and this time completing the deed with even louder shouts.
Again he rolls over, lights a cigarette, and asks, "So .... you finish?"
And again, after a short pause, she simply says "No."

Stunned, but still acting reflexively on his macho pride, he once again puts
out the cigarette, and mounts his companion du jour. This time, with all the
strength he could muster up, he barely manages to end the task, but he does,
after quite some time and energy is spent. Barely able to roll over, he
reaches for his cigarette ... lights it again, and then asks tiredly,
"So you finish?"
To which her reply is, "No. I'm Swedish."

Today we went to watch Rachel get married to Wallace.
Of course, we left the house late, and undependable me, supposed to greet the freaking guests.
But Rachel didn't even hear from her best friend, so I felt less guilty. But her friend must have had a good reason. I hope.
The wedding was beautiful. It was set in a huge chalet-looking lodge, and the were married in front of a huge stone fireplace. Rachel looked radiant, her dress was gorgeous. She looked like a pretty pretty princess. Hee. Wallace just looked like he wanted it over with. Just kidding. He was his regular old self.
I thought the day was beautiful for them.

Last night I was busy hanging up pictures, we have so many wall coverings, it's unbelieveable.
We want to leave the livingroom walls empty, as it will detract from the wood walls going right up to the 30 odd foot ceiling. So I have the rest of the house to play with hammer and nails. Woo-hoo !
I talked to Mum last night, and had her all excited about coming to visit. She's talking about Christmas, but I told her Spring would be good too, as that'll be plantin' time in the garden ! Hee hee ! I'm siked. Psyched. Whatever.

Went to Home Depot, mission to buy non-ass-hurting seat for toilet, thinking $ 10-$15, seeing $ 30 wonder, knowing it matched the bathroom, and my ass would know sublime bliss encased in an au natural rounded wooden looking seat. It works, by the way !
I buy a bag of cement, and find out an 80lb. bag costs less than a 50lb. does.
And I have to pull up outside the ' contractors ' door to have them load the concrete into my vechicle.

I sit and stare stonily as the help load 2 acres of woods into the truck in front of me. I pop my trunk, then walk over and ask where the 80lb. bags are. They point it out, I lean over and groan at the incredible weight. As I stagger towards the car, I mouth " Open the trunk " to Morgan. He looks at me in a non-comprehending way, and leans over the drivers' seat for the trunk release. I'm now beside the car and yell, " Open the trunk !" And he yells, " What ?" So I prop the bag against my unstable bumper and my knee while I fumble to lift the trunk, hoping my knee and the bumper will stand up to the strain. I get in the car, and Morgan tells me he couldn't understand what I wanted. Heh.


Great feeling, getting your first mailbox, of your first real home, bought and paid for by your in-laws. Nice scroll-looking iron- wrought post to slap it up on. Jay spent most of the afternoon digging out 5 inches worth of rock hard gravel near the ' holly bush '. I got home from Home Depot, and pointed out the hole was way too shallow.
Jay looked disgusted, as he dug further down. He really was hitting rocks.
Told him to dig deeper.

Poured the damned cement in the hole , around the post, then we let it sit for an hour.
Morgan and I set out to place the numbers on the mail boxes.
After we finished, the neighbor across the street headed over. " I don't want to seem like a busy body. BUT... You do know that's your mailbox over there, across the street."
No, we didn't. It is, after all, at the end of his driveway. Seems he has a P.O. box, and the mailman wants all the boxes on one side of the street. I could only wonder if he watched Jay suffering in the heat, the cement dust surrounding us like a halo, then waited until the last minute to appraise us of that juicy tidbit.
Oh well. It will be a nice decorative touch, I guess.

Long time, no see !

Sorry it's been so long, I only just hooked up the modem last night. Lazy ass, that I am.
The move went great, we got most of the little stuff over to the new place before the weekend, and we admitted the accident was a godsend in a way, as we rented an SUV , and carted a butt-load more than we would have been able to in our puny cars. I just got my car back last Thursday. I noticed my seat is rocking, which means the rails the seat slides on are bent. The head rest is hanging on by it's stuffing. Guess they didn't look at the inside damage my body may have inflicted bouncing around in there !
Also, the bumper is loose. Brand new bumper, and I keep checking my rearview mirror to see $ 1,500 worth
of repairs bouncing along the interstate.
I need to take it back.
I need an SUV ! Jay can have mine, he likes it, it's a step up from his .
I used to love my car. I guess I still do, it's been a good car.

Anyway, Saturday the 13th, Judi came by and picked up me and Morgan, and we vacuumed the carpets, and Judi steam cleaned. I won't talk about the money we could have gotten for steam cleaning right now, maybe when I'm less sore at Jay I'll write about it later !
The house smelled like wet dog for the rest of the day, and we sat in the small kitchen waiting for the carpets to dry. And the smell nay, stench ! ememating from the pantry. It smells like a skunk died in there, after emptying it's bowels. My pal Gary asked me if there was bug spray in there, and I replied in the affirmative. There were four cans of flea bombs in there. ( What am I supposed to make of that ? Great, I tell you ! ) Anyway, Gary said that was probably the source, and it would be a few weeks before the smell went away. Nice.
How am I supposed to be able to grab food from the pantry, when I'm covering my face with one hand, gagging. I'm not hungry anymore. Maybe I'll lose weight. Ack !

Sunday Charles paid a few of his landscaping crew to come and move the big stuff. And they did good!
We spent our first night in the house, Jay and I on the couches, Morgan on his new mattress, new bed sheets, quilt. Bastard.
We cant use the air mattress anymore. When Morgan cleaned our old room, I found tiny nails in the carpet, that Jay laid the air mattress on top of. Uberboob !
Morgan helped me clean the old house Monday, as I took off the day from my holiday week I didn't take !
Morgan worked really hard ! I gave him $20, he earned it ! That house was filthy. Jay came by later and started hauling the stuff we didn't move, and getting the trash to the dump.
As Jay was going to be making trips late into the night, and I had to get to bed for work the next morning, I reminded him of how important it was to get the potted plants outside. I reminded him a few times, actually.
And he did remember. I called him from work the next day, and asked if he remembered.
" I got them darlin', but..."
" What ? " I ask .
" The clay one, well, I set it in this old milk crate, so it would be stable, but when I lifted the milk crate, the handles snapped off. The pot crashed to the ground. That was an old crate. Sorry, darlin'."
" Where's the plant ?"
" I threw it into the woods."
" NO-O-ooo! Jay ! The pot wasn't important, my mum gave me the plant ! That's why I wanted it ! "
" Oh."
" Where in the woods ? I have to go after work."
" I'll get it , if you want."

Actually, I went myself , because I wanted to bring some plant's that Diana had put in there, but we didn't have the room before, so I felt it was a good excuse to go.
I found the poor, withered, Columbine my mother gave me, and I put it in the SUV ( sob ! ) Then checked out the ' Broom' something-or-other plants Diana had bought me. One was out of the question, since it had a Black Widow with her f**kin' egg sac in plain view. I reached as close as I dared and grabbed the other one, pulling , pulling, ( sorry, Di, I didn't have a shovel ! ) and it came out. I layed it on the driveway, then saw the freaking nest was on the plant, and there were hundreds of babies running around.
I picked it up, and smacked it hard against the side of the house ( sorry, Di, no bug spray ! ).

I called Jay on the way home and told him to get outside with a shovel when I pulled up.
He started one hole, and the ground is solid, packed with river rocks, and the handle broke off !
He had to finish the other hole with the damn spade without a handle. Poor guy !

I'll write more later, I thought it would be a good start after being gone for a week !

Sorry about that !

Update on tonight :

Jay came homw with Morgan, and said that Mike knew his way down to our house without directions, saying he'd lived in that area as a boy. When they pulled up at our house, Mike freaked out, telling Jay he'd lived in the house right across the street for 4 years as a boy Morgan's age. He said he'd always wondered what our house looked like on the inside.

We're fine from the car wreck, just little aches and pains.
( My arm's hurt from holding onto the steering wheel with my left arm, and my right hand, from holding the stick shift .
Jay was leaning forward slightly when we got hit, so his ribs took a hit.
Both our heads got smacked in the back really hard, but the headrest's are soft, not like my Tracker, where they were hard freaking plastic, and I got a knot on the back of my head !
Jay's friends Geoff and Mike ( Frank ) are moving boxes into the shop, since Russell won't be gone until this weekend. We plan to move on Sunday.

I'm off to bed...
Shoop shoop shoop !

Dear Mom,

Our scoutmaster told us all write to our parents in case you
saw the flood on TV and worried. We are OK. Only two of our
tents and four sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none
of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain
looking for Jeff when it happened. Oh yes, please call Jeff's
mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the
cast. I got to ride in one of the search & rescue jeeps. It was
neat.

We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for
the lightning. Scoutmaster Webb got mad at Hector for going
on a hike alone without telling anyone. Hector said he did tell
him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him.
Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will
blow up? The wet wood still didn't burn, but one of our tents
did. Also some of our clothes. Larry is going to look weird
until his hair grows back.

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Webb gets the
car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes
worked OK when we left. Scoutmaster Webb said that a car
that old you have to expect something to break down; that's
probably why he can't get insurance on it. We think it's a neat
car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot,
sometimes he lets us ride on the tailgate. It gets pretty hot
with 10 people in a car.

He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway
patrolman stopped and talked to us. Scoutmaster Webb is a
neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is
teaching his brother Doug how to drive. But he only lets him
drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All
we ever see up there are logging trucks.

This morning all of the guys were diving off the rocks and
swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Webb wouldn't let me
because I can't swim, and Jeff was afraid he would sink
because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the
lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under
the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Webb isn't crabby
like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life
jackets. He has to spend a lot of time working on the car so
we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges.
When Rob dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see
how a tourniquet works. Also Bruce and I threw up.
Scoutmaster Webb said it probably was just food poisoning
from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with
the food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and become
our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get
things done better while he was doing his time.

I have to go now. We are going into town to mail our letters
and buy bullets.

Don't worry about anything. We are fine.

Love, Dave

Finally !

Yesterday I was to meet the homeowners insurance guy and schill over some more money, I called him when I got up off the uninflated air mattress . I got his voice mail, thought nothing more of it. Pandy, my mortgage gal called a little later and told me our paperwork was in the underwriters' office, and had been since Friday, but that woman's husband fell off a ladder last week, and Pandy was trying to tell me closing could be pushed back again because of this new downfall.
Pandy called after I had my shower a half our later, and said the underwriter had come through, now they were waiting on the homeowners insurance. I told her I had left a message, but I could call him back and talk to someone else. Pandy said, " That's a good idea, because if he doesn't fax the documents over within 2 hours, closing won't happen tommorrow ! "
So I called again and got his cell number, called him and got him to meet me there within half an hour. I cough up the dough, and get the word to Pandy the heat is on. It's like freaking mission impossible !
We were told then that closing was set for today, at 4pm. Aaaahh!!

I went into work , anyway, and just made sure I got out of there to make it back and picked up Jay and get over to the closing. We got there half an hour earlier than we were supposed to, and Jay had the receptionist call up to an old friend, Dee, from his real estate agent days ( short lived career ) Dee came down and met us, and we went up to his office and chewed the fat for a while, then we were paged to get our asses down to the closing, so we said adios and got down to the big conference room. We met with the lawyer, Kathy ( our realtor ) , Pandy ( mortgage officer ), and Russell ( seller ) showed up with his realtor soon after. The lawyer explained all the papers we were signing, but it didn't matter, we just signed. Really only about 30 signatures. We were out of there in 45 mins. It wasn't as terrible as we were made to believe .
Russell handed us a ring with about 10 keys, and said he may be moved out by Friday, but most probably Saturday. I whispered to Jay, loudly enough for Russell to hear, " He's out of there tonight, let's beat him back there and put his furniture on the lawn ." Pandy gave us a gift certificate and candles to the realtors, which I thought was nice. I need to get her something.
When everyone had left, Jay and I talked with Kathy for a few minutes and I told her, " From now on, you'll compare all your other buyers with us, and come up wanting. " She said it's already that way. I guess we were just way too easy and laid ( like Diana ) back, it's hard to find people to deal with on that basis.
Jay had to get home and change for work, so we said our goodbyes, and drove off.

As I drove, I handed Jay the keys, and asked him how he felt. " It hasn't sunk in yet ." he said.
" You own a house now. When you're at work, you'll all of a sudden think, ' I own a house, now !' "
He agreed, and as we came down Queen City Parkway, we were slowed down in rush hour traffic.
I told Jay, " I knew we shouldn't have come this way. " Then...

Boom !!!


The world heaved, my head flew back and hit the headrest. I saw Jay's head do the same. When the car came to a rest, Jay yelled some profanities, and we asked each other if we were okay. We were.
She hit us hard enough to pop out the ashtray and the visors. I looked into my rearview mirror and saw the girl who hit us grasping her steering wheel, with her head resting on it. I pulled into a parking lot, then got out. Jay grabbed the phone, while I sought out the other driver. She had pulled into a side road, and was out of her car, all shaken up. She was okay, just freaking. She was more worried about picking her kid up from daycare on time. Her front end was totally caved in, fluids leaking out. A lot more damage. She had a knot on her forehead, which leaves me to believe she wasn't wearing her seatbelt... She was wondering if it would be okay to give her info, then leave to get her kid. I reminded her she wouldn't get any money on her car, nor a welcome from the police if she did that. Jay had called the police, and found us around the corner. I let her borrow my cell ( Thank gawd for cell phones ! ) and she called a friend to come pick her up. She was really upset, I kept on her about calming down, everyone has it happen. She mentioned she was going to get a new car soon, and I told her now she could, she has a downpayment with her insurance. " Do you mean something good will come out of this ? " she asked. " Yeah, it could happen ! " I reply.
Morgan chose that minute to call, and I let him know what was going on, we were okay, we'd just be a few minutes longer. Charles called right after that, obviously getting the news.
The cop came, took our info, and let her leave to get her kid. He gave her a citation for following too closely.
Jay popped the bumper down, so the wheel well wasn't touching the tire, and we drove home.

Later, as we're tallying up our hurts, he's at work with sore ribs, not only from yelling loudly, but he was leaning forward slightly when we got hit, so the seatbelt caught him there, and with me , my right forarm is smarting from holding onto the steering wheel, and my right hand aches , I think from clenching the stickshift. My pinkie fingernail is torn, too, I've noticed.
Judi had caled Jay's dad, so he called to congratulate us on the closing, and make sure we were okay after the wreck. He's urged me to take a few aspirin before going to bed. ( I have ) and I will take another one before beddie byes.

I also called my parents to let them know what was up, and to congratulate my Mum on her first day of work.

Congratulations, Mum !!!

Basha

Update : Judi and Chaz called a couple of times today to reassure us that Basha was doing better. She's starting to stand up okay, and she's eating. Also the gal in charge of her at U.G.A. says she's the sweetest thing. And she is. People have this misconception of Dobermans, and I have to admit, I already saw them as killers, before I met Basha. She's the nicest, sweetest thing to ever walk this planet.
Judi will tell her brothers ( Jay and Morgan ) and Hedder ( me ) are coming today, and she'll keep visiting the window next to the driveway over and over, whining questioningly.

Let me explain more fully what happened Sunday :

We ( Jay, Morgan and I ) went down to Judi and Charles' to take a break from the whole house thing.
Actually, we go down there to use them for their pool, but don't tell them ! When we told them we were coming down for a visit, as usual, they said , ' Sure ! Can't wait to see you ! ' Which is what they always say, so that makes it even cooler.
We stayed Saturday night, Judi made us a nice juicy breakfast the next morning. I read my book on the screened porch, while Jay swam, and Morgan played with the neighbor kids. Later, Jim and Kelly came by with their kids, but we were in the process of leaving, as we still have a hell of alot to go with packing our house.
I went down by the pool to say hey to Jim and Kelly, and show them pictures of the house that Judi and Charles took.
All of a sudden, Basha was behind Judi's chair, yelping. We stood up, and called to her, so we could check her out, because we thought she had been bitten by something. She was backing away, keeping her ass curled under, so we thought she'd gotten bitten on her butt.
Judi took her inside, and Kelly and I looked to see if we could find ants, or a spider around. There was nothing.

Jay had already packed our things in the car, and Charles had Basha laying in the livingroom. At the time, as she's laying there , I thought, " Yeah, she's unhappy about something, but she'll be spoiled more than ever tonight. "
Judi was looking for the vet's number, and Basha left the livingroom, followed closely by Charles, who was trying to see if she was limping on her leg, that was surgically repaired with a steel pin two years ago.

She reached the diningroom and her legs gave out. She sat down with the " OOMPH !" she usually reserves for when she's really worn out. Judi's in tears, trying to get someone on the phone, and she needs to look in the phone book. Basha gets up and walks towards me, and I see the top of her hind feet catching on the rug, like she's walking on noodle legs. I'll tell you now, I never want to see that again. We yelled for Basha to make her lay down, right then and there. Judi of course, is very upset, and Charles is on the floor with Basha, making her stay, and keeping her calm.
Jay comes in to find out what's keeping me, and I give him the " I can't leave now " look, then Jay realizes it's a bit more serious than when he left a few minutes before.

Judi finally reaches an Emergency animal clinic, in Dekalb, and Jay picks up Basha and puts her in the Blazer. Judi' sitting in back with her, and Jim says he'll watch Tyler, their other dog, while they're gone.

We get into our car, after we leave, and give each other our takes on what's happening, and once we're on I-285, Jay has misgivings about not knowing where they're going, or if they need help.
I tell him I have Chaz's cell number on my cell, and he tells me to call them. We're a few miles behind them, so we follow directions and catch up to them. Jay and Charles carry this 110lb Dobie in there, and the vet does reflex tests, and pinches Basha's toes to judge her pain reflex. The vet mentioned paralysis, and they carted her off for xrays. Then we were told Basha would have to go to UGA, and possibly have surgery.
Judi and Charles asked if there was some way to sedate Basha for the drive, and the vet said UGA didn't want them to. Morgan looked like he was going to cry, and I told him, " Don't you dare ! Judi will see you and then she'll burst into tears ! " He was very brave. Jay said later he wanted to ask the vet if she could give his mom a sedative instead. Too funny !

In the evening Judi and Chaz were told Basha was doing alot better, no tests, no surgery, she had some cartilage pressing on a blood vessel or nerve, but she just came home today, and she has to take it easy, but at least she's home, and she's doing good! Way to go, Bassa Baun !

We got home, emotionally drained Sunday night, and Jay went to work on the waterbeds. He gotours' drained, no prob. But the attachment broke ( sorry, Judi ! ) and he couldn't syphon Morgan's out. He came in, disgusted, saying , " I've had that dirty eight year old water on my mouth eight times, I'm gagging out there ! " Which made me laugh.
We got it drained, finally.
We vaccuumed the rooms and layed out bedding, and I took the air mattress outside to pump it up with Judi and Chaz's electric pump, which you hook up to the car battery, but realized the attachments didn't add up, and besides, when you turned the pump, on, it started juping across the drive way with this statacco-type drilling for oil noise.
I finally located the hose, with the foot pump, and Jay and I got it inflated in the room.
When I went to bed first, I noticed it wasn't so firm. Which was okay when Jay got in bed, because he weighs more, and he pushed all the air to my side, and I was on a cushion of air.
At 4 am, both of us were on the floor. I made Jay get out, and started with the foot pump again. Left : shoop ! shoop ! shoop ! Right : shoop ! shoop !, etc.
I told Jay to take over while I got adrink of water, and was rewarded with his nakedness doing the shoop shoop thing. Too funny.
At 10 am we were on the floor again. Agh ! What to do...

I'll be on soon, just really hectic around here. We should be moved by next weekend.
Today, Judi and Chaz's dog, Basha, had something happen to her spine, so we had to rush to the vets. Judi was in tears, it really drained us , too.
Be back later !

Ananova - EU condemns 'Hitler's' anti-Euro campaign EU condemns 'Hitler's' anti-Euro campaign

The EU has condemned Rik Mayall's appearance as a Hitler impersonator in a cinema advert that urges Britons to reject the euro.
The advert has prompted criticism from several British legislators and a Jewish leader.
It briefly shows the comedian dressed as Hitler.
He shouts "Ein volk, ein Reich, ein euro" - a reference to the Nazi slogan: Ein volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" or One people, one empire, one leader.
"The use of Adolf Hitler in this campaign is in appalling bad taste," said EU spokesman Jean-Christophe Filori.
He added that the advert was "insulting" and "panders to xenophobia."
Britain, along with Denmark and Sweden, decided to keep their national currencies when the 12 other EU nations introduced euro notes and coins on Jan. 1.
The government of Prime Minister Tony Blair says it favours adopting the single currency in principle, but only when economic factors benefit Britain.
Opinion polls show most Britons prefer to keep the pound.

Diana told me her moving story last night.
It was such an awful ( but funny ) experience, I'm going to try to get her to write it down and I'll post it.
I won't complain anymore about the crap I'm going through.
Yes, I will.

Congratulations

on the new place Diana ! It sounds awesome !

I did not know this...
Did you ?

Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma.

Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age or older.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.

A Boeing 747's wingspan is longer than the Wright Brother's first flight.

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

Well, I knew the last two, but I still feel like an idiot !

I LOVE this one !

Today's Funny !

The Final Exam

At Duke University, there were four sophomores taking Organic
Chemistry. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms
and labs, etc., that each had an "A" so far for the semester.
These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals,
they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with
some friends there.

They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept
all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor
after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that
they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back in time to
study, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't
have a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they
missed the final.

The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final
the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied that night
and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them. He placed
them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet, and told them
to begin.

They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was something simple
about free radical formation. "Cool," they thought at the same time, each one
in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."

Each finished the problem and then turned the page.

On the second page was written: (For 95 points):

Which tire?

I drive by the video store and found I had 4 of the 5 movies I rented. I had the case for " Behind Enemy Line's ", but it was empty. Agh ! Now a late fee !
I took the damn movie out of the bag and put it in the VCR last night after Jay got back from New Jersey. ( He went to Nearfest, which isn't exactly near Jawja, is it ? )
I wanted to show him the first part of the movie, where the seamen ( heh. ) were all on the flight deck, and they used the hook that projects the jets off the ship ( whatever they're called ! ) to whack a football off the end of the deck, then the wind blows it back, and Owen runs back to try and catch it. It falls into the ocean instead, and as the ship passes it, bobbiing in the water, the guys yell : " WI-I-I-LL-LL--ss-oooooon!!!!"

We all know how Jay feels about Wilson.

Fuck it. Fuck it all !

Pardonnez mon francais.
I had to sign an extension on the closing date today on my way home from work. We may have to wait until next week. Scew ups on the attorney's part, and an email sent from the VA guy. Who knows ?
I'm supposed to be off all this week, the lab's closed down, but I went in so I could get next Mon . and Tues. off with out hassles, hopefully to either move, or rest after a long weekend of moving.
Now I may be closing on Mon., and giving Russell a day to move ( Tues., possibly Wed., and what now ? I move
Thurs. night , after a full days work ? Nice. Then I can rest on my weekend. Not.
You know, for someone who's indifferent, I'm pretty torqued about schedules. I can't help it. I don't like change.
My schedule has to be just so. I like to have ideas of what's going on in a timeline. I should have been a freaking historian !

1. In the United States of America, it was recently ruled that the phrase "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Do you agree with this ruling? Should the phrase "under God" be removed? Why?
I do. I don't. Because we're getting carried away with this God crap.
2. When was the last time you took a road trip? Where did you go and what did you do?
Christmas. I went to Pa. and Va. to visit relatives with my son. Hubby couldn't make it ! :o(
3. Do you have any vacations planned for this summer? Already gone? Where to and what?

Naw. I'm moving. Some vacation !
4. What is the most drastic change to your appearance that you have ever made? Are you brave enough to post a photo?
Just the usual teen stuff with the 80's hair. I'd post a pic but, they're all packed up !
5. Tell me about something to which you are committed?
Nothing. Well, this blog. Sad, huh ?
6. Now tell me about something you just flat-out gave up on.
This blog.
7. (new saga) I've had it, this place is just wearing me out. You too? We need a break! Let's head out and go someplace new. You make the plans, I'll get things ready. So what do you have it mind, and did you want me to pick up anything special to pack for the trip?
I miss Savannah, hubby and I used to go every month. That's what I'd choose for a weekend getaway. I have a feeling my next roadtrip will be to visit Diana at her new place. So, you better pack your condoms ! ;oD
