Loons storm the Music Builds Tour

[sandie]

After marking students work for so many years, I can read just about anything! :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hoasfbn sdfnkjng sidkjf usdf ouh ihafwrif woeirkdn!

[sandie]

However, I read English, not Norse. :rolleyes:

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

That works out just fine, because I speak English, not Norse. ;)

[sandie]

American English, anyway. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Obviously. I am American. ;)

[sandie]

You don't say. :P Think I'll head out for a morning walk. Catch you later.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hi loons! Oh, and Hi Jason, our loon-in-denial. Wow, our area is getting a lot of bad weather from Ike! Wild, huh! Wind's been howling a gale all day. The roast last night was incredible, will post recipe.

[sandie]

Hi Beth. When will it be at its worst?

[NurseBettyLu]

Landfall expected in the Galveston, Texas area Saturday morning. So all we're getting is some of the outer feeder bands. But the wind and flooding in this area has been a lot more intense than anybody expected

[sandie]

Thanks. I read yesterday that it was expected in the Galveston area. Just wasn't sure when.

[rossid]

Well it is past 6 pm and time to go home. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

It's past 6 PM and time for me to finish my homework. :D

[rossid]

Yo!!!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yo, D! 'Sup?

[1inamillion]

hi loons

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Beka!!!

[sandie]

Hi D and B.

[1inamillion]

Hi Emily & Sandie

[NurseBettyLu]

Very very windy out. Very very sleepy in. KittyBoy's sister Veronica who belongs to my neighbor is heavy with kitten. Supper tonight was leftovers from last night. There. That's all the news I can think of.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey, Beka! How art thou?

Hiya, Beth. Sounds fascinating.

[1inamillion]

Uhm not so very good...how about you?
Hi Beth

[sandie]

Where art thou, Beka?

One of my cats is heavy, too, but with fur. Darcy's Winter coat is so thick, and becoming knotty. She's a Chinchilla, so there's an awful lot of fur. And she's quite pretty. I'll have to tackle her with the clippers, now it's warming up.

I'm doing four days a week temp teaching from next week, and might have a fifth day (Friday), after a phone call just now from another college. It depends what they're willing to pay! :P

I'm here...hiding...ish getting ready to go take a bath or somthing... my cat got in a fight with a long haired cat tonight and FUR WAS FLYING it was kinda cool

[sandie]

Your cat probably didn't feel that way. :P My girls have never been in the front yard here, as I have high fences all around.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Uhm not so very good...how about you?
Hi Beth
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm doing pretty good.

[Genna14]

Sure, I will. What I type just won't be decipherable. ;)
Is that even a word??

[sandie]

Sure is. Maybe legible? Even comprehensible, in Emily's case. :P

[Genna14]

Hahahaha

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes, decipherable is a word, meaning able to be deciphered. Would I use words that don't exist? No, don't answer that. I already know the answer. Yes, I would. But in this case, I didn't make up any words. *wishes for her very own smilie*

[Genna14]

Ehhh.

This would be my personal smilie: 0_o

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Bug-eyed, Genna?

[Genna14]

I believe it means confused. Oh by the way, I have arrived.

Hyundai named their new car Genesis. :D

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Are you going to buy one? ;)

Well, I'm going to bed. It's nearly midnight here and I have to be up and bright-eyed and ready to dance for my first class bright and early in the morning. In order to do that, sleep would be beneficial. Good night. :)

[sandie]

Night, Groovy. Or 3pm, to be more precise. :P

Folks, I have groceries. This means dinner tonight. :)

[rossid]

Beka, Emily, Genna, AND hello Sandra!!

I've had a nap and ready to post. Just watched the Revelation videos on YouTube.

[sandie]

Hi D. I could use my speakers... if I looked at the connection to locate the problem. But then, that would require me to get up off this seat. :P

[ZippyApplePants]

Hi D. I could use my speakers... if I looked at the connection to locate the problem. But then, that would require me to get up off this seat. :P

We wouldn't want you to strain yourself by doing that sandie. :D

[sandie]

Of course not. I've just made a decision to unpack the groceries, and reward myself with a coffee. :P It's a beautiful, lazy early Spring day. The birds are twittering and the humans are relaxing. Or, the humans are twittering, and.....

[Beachcomber]

I'm here...hiding...ish getting ready to go take a bath or somthing... my cat got in a fight with a long haired cat tonight and FUR WAS FLYING it was kinda cool

Wow Beka, only 70 more posts to 10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: What an acomplishment!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I know someone famous or something!!!!!!!!!!!!:rol leyes: :P

[rossid]

Hi Beth!!!

*relishes post number 10, 236 - must not talk to Beka as she is now my 'posting' enemy*

[sandie]

And I'm ahead of both of you. :cool:

[Beachcomber]

Hi Beth!!!

*relishes post number 10, 236 - must not talk to Beka as she is now my 'posting' enemy*

Hey D, how's it going????????

[sandie]

D's gone. He couldn't stand the competition.

[Beachcomber]

D's gone. He couldn't stand the competition.

He's sitting in a corner somewhere boo hooing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[rossid]

Oh I'm back and..

[rossid]

I'm not going...

[rossid]

[3D NC fan]

I'm not going...

Not going away? Not going to the MBT? Not going to be a loon anymore? Not going to be in a good mood? Not going to try and say something witty?

The possibilities are endless....... :)

[rossid]

NTB rocks! My hubby would probably want to see them more than 3D. Hope you get the tickets!

[Genna14]

I wouldnt buy a Hyundai. But its still fun to say there's a car named after you. :D

[1inamillion]

hey loons

[NurseBettyLu]

Loons! It's a wet, windy Ike-sorta day. Suprised at how nasty the weather is for a storm that's supposed to hit Texas. Callls for a fresh pot of coffee, doncha think?

[1inamillion]

I'm sorry

[Jason]

I'm sorry

You sure are, but I luv ya anyway.

[Jason]

Hi loons! Oh, and Hi Jason, our loon-in-denial

I deny that.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hi, Jason. Making a fresh pot of coffee. I shan't save you any...How about a nice cold Coke, served as nature intended: Directly from the 10-oz glass bottle.

[Jason]

And I'm ahead of both of you. :cool:

And I'm ahead of everyone (except 3dadmin who cheated).

[Jason]

Hi, Jason. Making a fresh pot of coffee. I shan't save you any...How about a nice cold Coke, served as nature intended: Directly from the 10-oz glass bottle.

Classic, diet, or zero?

[NurseBettyLu]

As far as I know, classic is the only one that comes in the tiny glass bottles. Love it, but it runs my blood sugar up badly.

[Jason]

I'll gladly drink it for you. Just doing my good deed for the day.

[1inamillion]

*phew* what a relief

[sandie]

Yes, you are, and you live here! :P

Morning all. It's a beautiful early Spring day, going up to 28 degrees today. I wore short sleeves yesterday, and will certainly have to today! I also have some furniture being delivered this morning, and then I can go out with friends, into the sunshine. :)

[Jason]

*phew* what a relief

I knew it would be. ;)

[Jason]

Yes, you are, and you live here! :P


Who are you talking to?

[sandie]

I'm talking to you, Jason. A few posts got in the way.

[Jason]

I'm talking to you, Jason. A few posts got in the way.

Quote, dear, quote.

And I'm a nowhere man sitting in my Nowhere Land, making all my nowhere plans for nobody.

[sandie]

It's too early on a Saturday to quote! :P

However, it's not too early for the Beatles. :D

Just had a 7am phonecall. My furniture will be here between 9 and 11am. :D

[NurseBettyLu]

And I am the Walrus.

[Jason]

However, it's not too early for the Beatles. :D


It's never too early for the Beatles.

[Jason]

And I am the Walrus.

Coo coo cuh choo.

[sandie]

No, absolutely not.

I could add something to Beth's comment, but I'll be polite. :P


Yesterday......

[NurseBettyLu]

Gook goo ka joob.

[NurseBettyLu]

No, absolutely not.

I could add something to Beth's comment, but I'll be polite. :P


Yesterday......

Politeness? On the LOON THREAD????? Heresy, I tell you.

[Jason]

Gook goo ka joob.

*performs Heimlich*

Sorry, thought you were choking.

[sandie]

Now Beth really is choking. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Thanks, yer a brick. Now you can clean the coffee out of my keyboard.

[sandie]

Politeness? On the LOON THREAD????? Heresy, I tell you.

Sometimes what is unsaid, says a lot. :P

[NurseBettyLu]

And you cant get head slapped for what you don't say. *head slaps Sandra just for the heck of it*

[NurseBettyLu]

*performs Heimlich*

Sorry, thought you were choking.

Btw, heimlich is no longer official protocol for choking, Now it's several sharp blows between the shoulder blades and diaphram thrusts. And tickling the victim until he/she pees their pants. Okay, I made up the tickling part. But it does sound like more fun than heimlich.

Cool. *remembers*

I'd clean off the coffee, but then I'd be choking.

[sandie]

And you cant get head slapped for what you don't say. *head slaps Sandra just for the heck of it*

And Sandra pokes out her tongue in reply. :P

[sandie]

I have furniture. :D A chair to match my lounge suite, a coffee table and a trolley for the moicrowave.

[ZippyApplePants]

It's never too early for the Beatles.

Amen to that!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey, Loons!

[ZippyApplePants]

Hey, Loons!

*screams* It's Emily! *runs out of thread*

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

That's okay. I was enjoying the quiet.

[ZippyApplePants]

That's okay. I was enjoying the quiet.

What?

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

What?
You ran out. Therefore I was alone and it was quiet.

[ZippyApplePants]

You ran out. Therefore I was alone and it was quiet.

*sighs* You missed it.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Apparently.

[ZippyApplePants]

Apparently.

You gotta jump up and grab those sometimes.

[Genna14]

I deny that.
Denial is the first step J.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

You gotta jump up and grab those sometimes.
I don't feel like jumping.

[ZippyApplePants]

I don't feel like jumping.

I'll keep that in mind, next time I will angle it down to you.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Much appreciated.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm ba-ack! *stops to watch the dancing in the streets* Had the most amazing supper! My friend Sonny brought us a slab of ribs straight out of his smoker, and I went to Winn-Dixie to get baked beans from the deli, and some nicw dense chewy artisan bread to go with. Not my fault that pan of bread pudding jumped in my basket on the way out. Made my own hard sauce. am now quite stuffed. I may never be hungry again.

[ZippyApplePants]

Much appreciated.

You're welcome.

I don't like your posts Jason.

So this is what crazy people do at all hours of the morning????????:eek:

So this is what crazy people do at all hours of the morning????????:eek:

Apparently. :)

Everyone here yesterday made a mad dash for the gas pumps. It was insane! The media sent people into a frenzy over the possibility of gas price hikes/shortages due to Hurricane Ike. My co-worker's wife waited in line at Costco for 40 minutes. :eek:

Is Daylight a good album?

Yes! I'd heard some of the songs on their website, so we bought the CD when we saw them in SC on 8/30.

Same here Robbie waited in line 25 mins at sams!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I know of at least one station around here that ran out completely, because of the rush.

[NurseBettyLu]

Happy Saturday, loons! Off to the flea market in a bit.

[Beachcomber]

I know of at least one station around here that ran out completely, because of the rush.

Yeah the attendants kept saying our gas was running low and nobody has come yet!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[rossid]

Another afternoon nap. Now time to shower. Then an Amp - they are selling the small cans for $0.25. :eek:

[3D NC fan]

I know of at least one station around here that ran out completely, because of the rush.

We had several stations that ran out of gas. Others were limiting purchases to 10 gallons.

Yeah the attendants kept saying our gas was running low and nobody has come yet!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

I went to Costco this morning and there was no line. I think we created our own shortage by everyone rushing to fill up their cars.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yep.

[sandie]

It sounds like it, Elaine.

It's now raining. :eek: Yesterday was 31degrees C, in the second week of Spring. That's about 88 degrees F to you. It's one of the four hottest temps recorded in September.

Went with two friends to Parramatta, the second largest centre in Sydney. Had Italian pizzas which were delicious. Love those prawns!The gelato at an ine-cream place, then walked through Parramatta Park, to the historic Governors residence. A great, but hot day. :D

Now I have to reorganise my house for the new furniture. :)

[sandie]

Morning Emily.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hallo, Sandra.

That's a normal temperature for September around here. But of course we are in a different season. :D

[sandie]

Precisely! This is just two weeks into Spring. The birds are twittering again. :) I like early morning in a neighbourhood filled with birds. And trains. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes. It's the end of summer here. But it's even though fall is coming soon, it's likely to be hot for a good while longer. But you never. The weather is so strange.

I don't often hear many birds in the morning around here. But I have two gigantic trees in my front yard, so I wonder why that is.

[sandie]

Maybe the birds know you live there. :P

We get Cockatoos and Cockateils in large numbers, which I like. :)

[rossid]

*#$@)
No cursing. Just felt like typing something, anything,...

[sandie]

You could type something sensible for a change. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Or you could speak Norse and throw Sandra off. ;)

[sandie]

Touche! :P Basic Italian CD in today's paper. French CD last week. I don't think Norse will get a turn!

The big question of the day is this: Has the rain finished so I can go for a walk before church? Or, is it going to rain on my parade?

[rossid]

Okay.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Just walk in the rain! :D

Thanks for the enlightenment, D. ;)

[1inamillion]

I knew it would be. ;)
It is!!!!!


Hey loons

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hey, Beka!

[sandie]

Hi Beka. How goes it?

D: At last you make sense.

I'm now dressed for church, so the walk will have to wait. I'm in pants today, instead of jeans, so I'm dressed to thrill. :P Looking fabulous, I must say. It's great to get out of the Winter clobber and wear shirts again.

[rossid]

Is that Beka the recently talkative one? I have not posted in a while when you've been on the boards. You do make more sense than me so I'm sure the rest of the Loons appreciate that...

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Do any of us make sense, really?

I know the feeling, Sandra. I'm not a fan of winter attire. I'm glad I can wear my shorts a while longer. And regarding the pants, I'm going a whole step further and I'm going to wear a skirt to church tomorrow! :D

[sandie]

She does? :confused: Why do Loons have to make sense? This is a foreign concept. :P

[Beachcomber]

It is!!!!!


Hey loons

Hey Miss Beka Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!:P

[sandie]

Does anyone else dislike Sunday morning radio preachers? :P I can't stand that officious, preachy tone. Just turned the man off at 8am.

[rossid]

Well everyone is picking on me and we ALL ae nonsensical? :confused:

Radio preachers? Are they better or worse than tv preachers? James Merritt is good...

http://www.touchinglives.org/

[sandie]

Dunno. I don't watch TV preachers, either. :P I just don't like that preachy tone.

Hello Miss sandie eh its going
Hey, Beka!
Hello Miss Emily

[sandie]

D: I'll check out James Merritt later today when I have more time to listen.

Missionary prayer points in for the monthly Prayer and Praise gathering. Now I just have to think of something intelligent to say on Tuesday night. Thinking... thinking.... :)

[sandie]

We'll try German. Der Rock. Now do you understand? ;)

Yep, he's a Gomer! :P

Beka: More info please. :)

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yep, he's a Gomer! :P
:rolleyes: ;)

[sandie]

Is there anything else you need to know about the world? Let me help you. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Nein. ;)

[sandie]

LOL.

Another bit of trivia for you. Do you realise that when a blouse goes into the wardrobe crumpled, it still has to be ironed when you pull it out six months later? Sad, but true. :eek:

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes, I knew that. Thankfully I like to iron. :D

[sandie]

Freak!!! :P I'm off to church, and it's starting raining again, right on cue. Bye.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Bye. Have fun in the rain. :)

[1inamillion]

Yep, he's a Gomer! :P

Beka: More info please. :)
bad week for me

[NurseBettyLu]

Hi loons bye loons, gotta go to w**k. Which means I will be sleepy in church tomorrow. I never meant to take every stinkin Saturday night. That seems to have slipped their minds.

[sandie]

Their whats? :P

Beka: That's no good.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Minds. It's something normal people have. I think. ;)

[sandie]

But not all bosses have them. :P I've worked for at least one with few thinking processes.

[rossid]

Yea what is up B?

[Genna14]

It sounds like it, Elaine.

It's now raining. :eek: Yesterday was 31degrees C, in the second week of Spring. That's about 88 degrees F to you. It's one of the four hottest temps recorded in September.


If only it was that nice here. Our normal spring temps are like in the high 90's and we usually hit 100 around April.


Does anyone else dislike Sunday morning radio preachers? :P I can't stand that officious, preachy tone. Just turned the man off at 8am.

I generally get very boared with any and all radio preachers. Or really any preachers save for the one I grew up listening to. I agree about the officious tone though, lots of the early morning guys seem to have it.


Hi loons bye loons, gotta go to w**k. Which means I will be sleepy in church tomorrow. I never meant to take every stinkin Saturday night. That seems to have slipped their minds.

Yucky. I used to work Sunday nights through Thursday nights. I never had to work Friday or Saturdays. Man I never realized how blessed I was with that schedule! Though I have a similar one now.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I need to study for my psychology test tomorrow! :eek:

[1inamillion]

Their whats? :P

Beka: That's no good.
I know

[sandie]

Hope you have a better week this week.

I'm taking another temp class - Elementary - at the college where I took 3 weeks and finished a week ago. (This is where Jonathan/Joe used to be the Director of Studies.) New class, and I want to take them to the Sydney Olympics Parade, which goes straight past the door today. If they like the idea, we can go to Sydney Town Hall to watch the athletes get the key to the City.

I can be pretty persuasive on a Monday. :D

I have a key to a city in storage somewhere. I forgot which though. So I guess I can't lock up. My dad received it.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Hallo, Sandra. :)

[sandie]

Hi Emily and Jason.

No idea which City? Your mother would know. Do your Olympic athletes have parades and get the keys to the city?

[Jason]

No idea which City? Your mother would know.

My mom wouldn't know. She divorced him before he became famous. The box with the key says which city, but I forgot what it said.

[sandie]

Ok. Thanks. It's going to be another warm day too.

[Genna14]

This day has been filled with excitement and heartache...Why why...I might have a coronary soon.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

It's pretty cool here today. We have all of the wind and rain to thank for that. It's about 75F.

[rossid]

Wow that was a good nap.

Its over! OVER! FINALLY! Greg Biffle WON! Its been a year since his last win! Finally one of my boys won!!!!!! I finally stopped shaking and crying!

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Good to hear, Genna. :D

[Genna14]

You can imagine the excitement there was. Mom and I were hugging, I was crying. Even Greg was crying in VL!

[NurseBettyLu]

Happy Sunday afternoon, loons! Drop-dead nothing happening. The bread's gone mouldery. The cat is stalking a stain on the carpet. I'm seriously thinking about going back to bed for lack of anything better to do.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Sounds enthralling. ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm getting light-headed from all the excitement.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Maybe you should lie down, then.

[NurseBettyLu]

That's what I was thinking. At my age there's no sense in taking chances.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Are you suggesting you're old? ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm not suggesting anything. I am old. KittyBoy just caught the stain on the carpet, and can't figure out what to do with it. Not the brightest crayon in the box, that one.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

I won't say what ran through my head just now. :D

[Genna14]

Maybe Tony will get a win now. :) Both of my drivers crashed. :( Since the race was on while I was at work I didn't miss anything.

He just sat there in the middle of the chaos looking so proud of himself...

Of course he did, he didn't have to clean it up!

Maybe Tony will get a win now. :) Both of my drivers crashed. :( Since the race was on while I was at work I didn't miss anything.


Oh no, you only missed Tony's incredible driving skills!!! I am not convinved Tony Stewart is the best driver to EVER walk this earth.

He had a problem in the pits and had to go back, Sauter got to close and Tony and he bumped fenders. Tony went back to the pits and ended up 34th. He drove his BUTT off and got back to 19th, when he had a pit penalty and had to go back through the pits, putting him a lap down. So here's Tony, the 5th or 6th car not on the lead lap. He races his way back to 2nd car not on the lead lap and on a restart, overtakes Almirola to become the first car a lap down. This is when he gets a huge break and there's a caution moments after he passes Almirola. So Tony's back on the lead lap, but down in 20th with about 60 to go. In those 60 or so laps Tony drove his way back to 8th and a top 10 finish!!! AND he ended up gaining a spot in the standings to 7th, he went into this race 8th.



He's my little loon cat. A source of high entertainment.

Cats arent too bright. We used to have one that was sooo stupid. Lol His name was Persnickety. Mom names cats weird things...

[ZippyApplePants]

Very true

Good for him, I'm just glad there are still nine reaces to go. This thing is far from over.

You're welcome. :)

I don't want to go to w**k tonight.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

[NurseBettyLu]

I just look at my bed and sigh...

I didn't want to go this morning.

Yeah, but I am rooting for Greg more than ever right now. He's gunna make history this year, I know it. I have a lot of faith in Greg Biffle, so many people just don't see the potential in him that I do. I think its his time to shine.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sunday night is an easy almost do-nothing shift. Precious little boy, and the custodial grandparents don't care if you nap. I'm not like this on weeknights. I just want to go to bed so bad.

And yet you always whine about going to work on Sunday nights. Are we never happy with our lives?

I can't figure it out. It's my easiest shift of the week, but I fight it like it was torture. I think maybe it's the hours.

[Jason]

Or that you constantly verbalize your hatred of it. You've convinced your mind it's horrible. Words have power.

[Genna14]

We're the exception. I was merely pointing out how often, many people are not satisfied when we have no reason in the world to be dissatisfied with our lives.

What are the hours

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Yes, they do.

Yes. I credit God with helping me to change my mindset in that regard. And I am very thankful for that.

[NurseBettyLu]

You may be right, maybe I should try talking it up. Really, I'm happy once I get there. The hours are 12 mn-7a, and I do dislike staying up all night and only getting paid for seven hours.

Like the fairly functional family I get to work with? The fact that Nannie bakes? The precious five year old I get to work with? I don't gripe about my weeknight shifts like this, and they're loads harder. And the family out there put the fun back in disfunctional. I just close the door to Peter's room and turn the music up. He likes Red, too. So there. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Sounds delightful! :D

Emissions day. Yay. Not. Time to go see if my car is legal to be driven.

[rossid]

:eek:

:eek:

:eek:

W*#k!!!

[sandie]

At least yours is finished for the day, D. :P Mine is about to start!

I took my students to the Sydney Olympic Games Athletes Parade. Lots of green and gold tickertape coming out of some utes, giant jumping kangaroos, marching bands, the athletes. Then the Aboriginal Welcome to Country and the speeches. Interesting to explain this to newly arrived students. A good time, but my feet were sore!

[sandie]

What's emissions day? Is that your annual car Registration?

[3D NC fan]

What's emissions day? Is that your annual car Registration?

Some states have emissions laws, so you go to a testing center to see if your car passes the emissions requirements. If it fails the emissions test, repair is required before you can renew the license tag.

[sandie]

Thanks Elaine. It's somewhat similar to our laws. All cars older than 3 years need to be checked for road worthiness (including pollution) before they can be re-registered.

[NurseBettyLu]

Alabama lets you drive whatever sort of rust bucket you want. You should see some of the mouldery oil burners I've had the misfortune to drive behind.

[rossid]

No I wasn't finished at that point. I left maybe an hour after the post. Came home and worked another hour and a half. :eek:

Now I'm strung out from a cold cappuccino, Live Wire MD, and 32 ounce dMD. :P

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

So does Arkansas. Tennessee doesn't. That's one of the reasons my dad's truck is parked in the back and has been there for quite some time.

[NurseBettyLu]

Evening loons. I'm back but prolly not for long. Tired, don't feel good. Do try to soldier on in my absence.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

No problem. ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

Is for me sometimes.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

What? Soldiering on in your own absence. Do you have this problem often?

[rossid]

Soldierin' on...

[Genna14]

Back home from work! I think I'm gunna like it.

[ZippyApplePants]

Having serious issues with the Office People. Looking for another job. Will miss my little boys, but things have become intolerable. Updates will be issued as becomes necessary.

[sandie]

Morning all.

Oh Beth. Things are bad. I'm praying for you.

I've managed to tame my new class pretty well on the second day. On the first day, one adult male made a few smart remarks. Yesterday, Noom listened and worked hard. He also knows that I'm a stickler for the attendance rules, and his Visa class stipulates his attendance. He'd better start showing up on time, or he has a problem. I'll be able to hand feed them by tomorrow. :P

This arvo I'm having coffee with Joe/Jonathan after work. Looking forward to it - always stimulating conversations. I don't need to sneak out to see him these days, but I'll post the shoe phone, anyway, just for fun. :D

Now could be the time to make that move you're always talking about. Come to Arizona, you'll never hear the word "evacuate" again/ :P

You do and I'm taking down that pic of Tony.

Another day in the nuclear power plant...

"If any part of your body starts to glow, get away from it as fast as you can!" :D

At least today is going better for me than my first day back yesterday. YESTERDAY I got in to w**k a half hour late after battling a gusher of a nosebleed, and having to scoop out a suddenly and unexpectedly deceased fish (my 4 inch algae eater) out of my aquarium. :(

But today is better. No dead fish, no nosebleed. Yay. :)

[ZippyApplePants]

I had coffee with Joe yesterday. Did you know that a very handsome man, working twelve hour days, and unable to take time off work to get over a cold, looks just as bad as the rest of us? :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Flyby. Overslept. Our clinical director called and chewed me out for my lack of professionalism, and told me I wasn't a team player. I said fine, show me a team and I'll play.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

What does it mean :confused:

I know the expression 'cup of Joe' from the Boards, which is appropriate since we always have a cuppa together. If he keeps working 12 hours a day, I will refer to Joe as 'the ghost who walks.' :P
