Ba de ya!  :D

Earth, Wind and Fire Baby!!

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love
that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

One of my friends got married in September just so she could have this be her wedding song.  ;D

I wanted ours to be "Let's Go To Bed" by The Cure.

"...laughing at the Christmas lights...you remember from December..."

Why camping lame?  ???

Well, it's all my family ever does.  My whole life, we never did anything but camp.  We never took any trips or anything else, because we always went camping.  And I am just so damn sick of it.  Now that I'm an adult, I want to get out and see things.  Don't get me wrong, the mountains are beautiful.  But there is a whole big world out there!

Wedding consumation song?


Fair enough.  But wait until after the reception.

Did you guys pick a particular wedding song?  Are you gonna do a complilation?

You should vote to camp somewhere else that you want to see.  Like in a hotel somewhere. :D

Ummm...do you mean like a first dance song?  I think it's going to be Etta James' "At Last".  Kinda classy.

Maybe we'll have that figured out by September :D

so they can get out early! They'll be out in May instead of june.... plus I don't know about Queens Howard but we have year round schools in Cali too (or we used to when I worked with the San Joaquin County School District about 15 years ago.  This staggered kids attendance and vacation dates.

I love free food- the type that grows wild & you pick it- and early September in the UK is the best time for most of it. Last year I picked 12 types of edible mushrooms (some hallucinogenic), blackberries, sloes, apples etc. Also the best time for catching some types of fish & game. I'll be missing it this year 'cos of circumstances, it's really bugging me, but at least our chef's making use of as many fresh things as she can gather, currently sitting here with a belly full of delicious Bramley apple tart. Mmmm! :)

Vaughn started 1st grade today...he had a really nice day. He likes his teacher and was excited to share things with me when he got home. :)

Today is Open House for James.  I already sort of know his teacher from seeing her around the school over the past two years.

School starts for them both tomorrow.  Elizabeth has moved to a new school and her bus comes a lot earlier.  She has to leave the house around 7 to walk to her stop.  :o

We are also going to the dentist today.  :-\\

So, the wildfire season has already arrived for southern California... and I'm sure it's been on the news across the US as well. I've been watching updates on the TV news.

The blaze known as the "Station Fire" had started over the weekend and has been threatening homes in the communities of La Canada Flintridge, La Cresenta, Tujunga, and Sunland. This also includes the neighborhood which contains the house where the movie E.T. was filmed, back in 1981. I was watching news, anxiously hoping that that place would be safe.

I found some internet articles not too long ago about this.

I hope Mr. Piowowar is right about his home being safe. :o He says he feels confident that the firefighters can get the fire put out before it comes too close.

My month is brginning just like last month ended.

I hope it stays safe. <-- This story says that the owner himself is staying up there until the authorities insist he leave the area.

Also, that particular blaze is not expected to be fully contained for two more weeks.

its a valid question- just scrutinize everything.

its a valid question- just scrutinize everything.



Carlos is planning to offer about 12 something-hey what the hell. Apparently, it is the bank that is holding it and we are pretty sure that the bank wants to get rid of it.

From what we can see that needs serious work is the roof, some plumbing (the master bath is without a bath) and the entrance to the master bedroom has to be relocated. The house is only 10 years old. Then we have to really put in a kitchen (right now, it only has a sink). We are both pretty excited about this.


Yup-that's right folks, Carlos & I are going to buy a fixer-upper on the island of Puerto Rico. We are flying down there in two weeks to check things out and hopefully, we will come home as second home-owners.



Cat

My meeting at the Dept of Rehab went good and The lady we talked with knew what she was talking about.  I cant hear well enough with the hearing aid and am going to have to find some way to master sign language.  She also thinks there is a lot I missed out between ages 7-14 and wants me to catch up with that.  I sure I have.  So she wants me to take an ASL class.  I sill got to get out of the house and away from my mom though or one of us are going to end up dead.  I can always go back to the Library and wipe books, pop out library cards and stuff.  

That sounds exciting Cat! Best of luck to you and Carlos in PR.....hope it goes just the way you want it to!  :)

I never had the talk either. I just used braille... ::)

Well, I wasted the whole morning away.  Time to get up and out into the beautiful day before it is time to pick up youngone from school.

Update on the wildfires: the "Station Fire" in L.A. County is up to 22% containment, which is a big jump from 5% in the early part of yesterday. So that's a good sign. And the ones out in Yucaipa and the San Bernardino area are 60 to 70% contained. Still, my thoughts and prayers go out to all who are affected.

Man,what a day at work this was,Friday we're supposed to be getting an inspection but I have no idea what they're going to inspect.

Maybe inspect the place, for anything naughty, such as bugs? Just to be sure the facility is safe?

They usually do that.

Then that's probably what they're going to inspect. Public facilities get inspections every so often. Especially those which serve food.

Inspections generally consist of:

Overall cleanliness of the store.
They will want to see clean floors, restrooms, checkstands and storerooms

They will also want to see a clean parking lot

They will check how orderly the shelves look

they will check how courteous the staff is.

they will check to see that there are plenty of wagons available at the front of the store...

And- they will check for infestations but since all grocery stores have rodents they just want to make sure yours are not out in the open... or that the soda cans are clean and the breads have not been chewed.

Thanks everyone. We KNEW that it acquired a lot of work and we think we knew what exactly that work involved. It was just TOO good to be true-the location for us (only 10 minutes from my SIL's ) and the price was so definitely right. The good news is now I don't have to figure out how to convince Carlos that I don't want to stay down there 5 months out of the year.  :-\\  He still wants to do this-so I guess we will continue to look. My SIL told us that the realtor told her that this is 3rd one he has had like that in the area. If another one comes up, he will call her.

Doesn't seem to be cooling down around here yet.

Question: Would you buy a house that you have never seen (only seen photos) for less than $20,000?




Cat


It's what we did here in Pittsburgh.  Although ours was slightly more then 20,000.  Sometimes a good deal is just too hard to pass up (even if it means having to "fix-er-up". 

edit (after having read the rest of the thread - sorry I've been busy):  Sorry Cat about the house.  I'm sure another will come along soon in this market.

As for me:  $400 in car repair later, we have a rebuilt alternator (I'm car stupid) but I think it has something to do with keeping a charge in the car battery.  Since that is pretty important for the car, it had to be done.  It puts us pretty short on bill money, but we'll get by (sorta).  :-\\  I did win $40 in the casino before the car decided to spaz out, so at least that helps.

Sorry................I'm sure a better one will pop up for You & Carlos....................
Our house in PR was sold.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  Canceled the itinerary to go down there. We can still use the tickets up to a year. So, we are NOT going down to PR this month.  :-\\

I understood You...... ;)
Ummmmmm......I was kind of metaphorically speaking, I have no idea what the weather's gonna be like....  ::) 

It's what we did here in Pittsburgh.  Although ours was slightly more then 20,000.  Sometimes a good deal is just too hard to pass up (even if it means having to "fix-er-up". 

edit (after having read the rest of the thread - sorry I've been busy):  Sorry Cat about the house.  I'm sure another will come along soon in this market.

car problems suck!!! sorry Patty

oy.... so we had to evacuate a bldg on campus today because a leaky package was delivered to one of the offices... the chemical was toxic but not deadly. It took up a good chunk of my midmorning. ..


on the brightside- I seem to be able to handle talking on three phones and answering three radios simultaneously... this is no exaggeration.

I have a gold crown and it was feeling tender underneath this when I was chewing.  The hygienist gave it a good clean on Tuesday and the dentist filled and sealed a small area between the crown and the gum.



Do you have cavities cause I remember when I had 8 cavities 8 years ago they had to be filled and boy was it a pain in the ass. :o

Inspection came today at Pathmark and I was worried that us cart attendants would get a bad rating like an F or something but I guess I worry too much,just trying to keep busy so they don't see that I'm slacking off.

I wanted to talk to the guy before he got in his car and wanted to ask him how I was doing but it was too late and drove off but I was in the middle of a cart collection anyway.

To be honest with you Howard I doubt he was paying that much attention to you.  :-\\

I think I forgot to mention that I'm in Salem for the weekend

Yeah I think that was it,maybe he/they was/were just paying attention to the store inside.

Of course she is.  ;)


Went to Salem a few years back with the History Club at the college. Carlos' youngest was also with us (who is also a witch). I think we would have had a better time if it was just the three of us because the college kids were so clueless. On the way home, one kid said that he was a bit disappointed because he only met one witch. I informed him that there were two on the bus. He didn't know how to respond.



Cat

Oh yeah, today we are going to the annual barbecue at the college. That is AFTER the first ever football game. We opted out of going to the game-even though it is an historical event. Neither one of us gets into football-and from what they are saying, the crowd is going to be unbelievable. I do love the tee shirts-"Undefeated since 1787" (when the college was founded). Of course that may change after today.  :-\\

HAHA! Love Carlos's costume.  ;D

The barbecue was GREAT-not so much the food as it was seeing a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while. They did have a band there that we half way decent was WAY TOO loud. It was hard to talk to people. As we were walking to the car, we came across the mascot (a Spartan)-so naturally, I had to get a photo of Carlos & the mascot together.  :D ;D ;D ;D  He said to the mascot, "This is HER idea".  :D ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah, the football team is STILL undefeated since 1787.  ;D ;D ;D ;D With the energy that was in the air, it makes us a little sorry we didn't go to the game-but only a little.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I talked to a former colleague of Carlos (and a former teacher of mine) about Carlos' emeritus status. The thing is, the head of the department is "evil" (according to the secretary-who we also saw) doesn't want to do it and this one teacher is basically the only left TO do it. I suggested to her to go to the dean & to the president if need be. She said that may be a good idea since she knows the department WON'T.

Beautiful day yesterday.  Sig did all "the fluids" in the car, then youngone and I went to Salisbury Beach, and what a perfect beach day it was.  Not too hot(yes, it can be too hot for the beach), waves, plenty of parking, relaxing.  Then from there we went down the road to Newburyport to the Labor Day street fair.  Today is the Labor Day Bread and Roses fair in Lawrence, celebrating the "Bread and Roses" strike of 1912 in that city.  It's success was chalked up in a large way to the ladies  ;)

Bread & Roses: The Strike Led and Won by Women


Jan. 12 was the anniversary of the start of the 1912 Bread and Roses strike--one of the most significant struggles in the history of the U.S. working class--in Lawrence, Mass.

A new state law had reduced the work week from 56 to 54 hours. A small gain for workers? Sounds like it. But of course the bosses found a way to gain the advantage.

They speeded up the looms and cut the average measly wage of $6 a week--a last straw for workers living on the edge of starvation.

When the wage cut was announced, workers shouted: "Short pay! Short pay!" Thousands of women and men started a spontaneous strike that rippled through two dozen textile factories in Lawrence.

Some 23,000 people left the mills and poured into the streets.

Immediately the National Guard was called out, along with 22 militia companies and 50 thugs disguised as strikers. They overturned trolley cars, smashed windows, assaulted people and planted dynamite near the strike headquarters.

But even quicker on the scene was Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a 21-year-old organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World--the Wobblies. Flynn, Big Bill Haywood and other IWW leaders moved in to help organize the strike.
AN EARLY DEATH

Lawrence was founded in 1845 as a textile city. By the turn of the century, advanced technology had enabled the owners to bring in lower-paid workers and force the skilled workers out.

In 1905 the American Woolen Company built the world's biggest textile plant in Lawrence, hiring Arab, Russian and East European immigrants. By 1912, people of 25 different nationalities lived within a one-mile radius of the mill.

They lived in crowded company-owned tenements. Eight to 10 people from different families shared one living space. Whole families--including children under 14 years old--worked in the mills.

The mills were hot and humid. The work was fast paced, with high accident rates.

Bosses made ethnic slurs. They sexually harassed the women.

Workers froze in the winter because they couldn't afford the clothes they produced. Rickets were common among children for lack of milk. Nearly half died before they were 6 years old.

Over one-third of the mill workers died before age 25, mostly from tuberculosis and other respiratory illnesses.

PROTESTING IN 25 LANGUAGES

In 1912, the American Federation of Labor was a grouping of weak craft unions, made up of white men organized by trade. The AFL refused to organize Black workers. Until 1918, the federation barred women from membership--even in an industry like textiles with twice as many female workers as male.

The AFL opposed the Lawrence strike, calling it revolutionary and anarchistic.

The IWW, in contrast, was formed by socialists like Eugene Debs. They called for industry-wide unions and even one big union for the whole country. The IWW emphasized unity and solidarity.

The Lawrence strike broke new ground in two ways. Women led it. And there was a conscious effort to unite workers of all nationalities.

Every union meeting was translated into 25 different languages.

There were four demands: a 15-percent wage increase, a 54- hour work week, double pay for overtime, and rehiring of all strikers without discrimination.

But the workers saw the strike as really a broader struggle.

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn had grown up poor in New England mill towns. She watched starving mill workers leave before daylight and return after dark. She was familiar with the rats, cockroaches, lice and disease that plagued their families.

The strikers had a strong spirit of class struggle. They sang, put on shows, dances, debates and parades.

The Lawrence strikers are remembered for inventing the moving picket line. Police had been arresting them for loitering--so they linked arms and formed a moving human chain that wove around the mills 24 hours a day, preventing scabs from getting in.

Flynn led meetings about the special oppression facing women and immigrants. Women led the picket lines and were better at intimidating scabs.

Cops threw the women in jail but they refused to pay the fines. As soon as they were released they returned to the picket lines.

One freezing morning, cops drenched the strikers with fire hoses. The women caught a cop on a bridge, stripped off his uniform and nearly succeeded in throwing him into the icy river. One lawyer commented, "One policeman can handle 10 men, while it takes 10 police to handle one woman."

The children grew weak as the strike continued into February and March. Flynn gathered food and set up soup kitchens.


Arrangements were made for hundreds of children to be sent to the homes in other cities for the duration of the strike. This drew national and international publicity, and donations began to pour in.
The cops responded by attacking women and children at the train station so the children couldn't leave. Cops clubbed them, threw them into a heap and dragged them into military trucks, clubbing them again if they cried out.

They beat one pregnant women so hard she had a miscarriage. That was the turning point. The national and international outcry forced Congress to open an investigation. The pressure on the bosses built.

THE BETTER THINGS IN LIFE

On March 14, the strikers won a 25-percent raise for the lowest-paid workers and smaller increases for higher-paid workers, time-and-a-quarter pay for overtime, and no discrimination against strikers.

The barbecue was GREAT-not so much the food as it was seeing a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while. They did have a band there that we half way decent was WAY TOO loud. It was hard to talk to people. As we were walking to the car, we came across the mascot (a Spartan)-so naturally, I had to get a photo of Carlos & the mascot together.  :D ;D ;D ;D  He said to the mascot, "This is HER idea".  :D ;D ;D ;D

Too many people forget that their ancestors weren't Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, or Roosevelts.  They lived in tenements on top of each other and had uncles and aunts they never knew about because they died too young to make the first census.

Being from Mass, you probably remember Railroad Salvage. My mother used to work for them in Connecticut and was fired because she was trying to organize a union. I remember her holding union meetings at our house.

I missed this post earlier. Glad to hear you're going full time!! That is great news! :)

As for me, I have an appointment with my job coach tomorrow. All I can do is keep searching. The only luck I've had thus far was speaking with a temp agency back in January (which I never got the position, but even if I did, that would probably not last very long either). Hopefully something will come my way.

Well, not very well in the state of California. I suppose we can thank the Governator for that. Thankfully next year he won't be able to run again. (However, on his good side I do praise him for his remarks about the firefighters being able to effectively battle the current wildfires. On last check, the Station Fire was 60% contained, and full containment is expected a week from now.)

Mad house-cleaning extravanga.  Visitors coming on Friday!!

Carlos has a stress test today. We are also going to pick up our new storm doors (thanks to one of my best friends who has a vehicle that they will fit in-and she works right next door to Home Depot) and if we have time, we are going to pick up our new range hood for our new kitchen. I really can't wait to get the new kitchen. Work starts in a little more than a month.  ;D ;D ;D

So is that why you've been missing in action lately? Sorry about that. I wondered what became of you. :( Hope you get better ASAP.


My mom has had somewhat of a little cold for the past few days, but will hopefully get better by this weekend because she has a very special event to attend to!! Her 40 year class reunion!

She's planning on it. :) A friend of hers (who has been best friends with her since junior high) is coming out from Chicago to attend the reunion...and spending a couple nights with us.

Get Better Sasha!


I had a great time in LA... I got pics with Daryl Chill Mitchell (he was in Galaxy Quest and ED and is in the new series Brothers on Fox) & Michael Strahan (he's some sort of football player or something.)  He's also in Brothers.  Then I got a pic with Carl Weathers! Yep- Apollo Creed. My friend snapped while I was in mid sentence so I look like I'm about to kiss him or something  ;D  (he's in the same show.)

I got a pic with Kevin Michael Richardson- voice of Cleavland Jr on Family Guy and the new Cleavland show... then I got a pic with him again this time with Kevin and with Mike Henry.... so Cleavland Jr and SR


and I got a pic with the Teacher from glee and one with the jock/choir boy as well..... whatever their names are. those are on my friends camera tho so who knows when I'll get them... hopefully not as long as it took to get the Shemar Moore pics  ;D

Went to see Dorian Gray last night, it was very good. They started the film at exactly 9.09pm on the 9.9.09 which i thought was pretty cool.

ba de ya...never was a cloudy dayyyyyyyyyy...

Wrong.  We had rain this month. :P :D


We are getting loads today and over this weekend.



Friends visiting from the UK tonight.  They've been touring around New England for the past fortnight.  Last bits of tidying and shopping (can't recall if they are vegetarian or not).

Went to LA- Had a great time... got great pics of Joel McHale and Chevy Chase (and a few other cast members of Community)

I was thisclose to Joel McHale but I could not get a pic with him...  :\'(

We are going to go fishing today.

YAY!

Not yay. Fishing trip was canceled because according to the Weather Channel's radar, it looks like it is going to rain. Neither one of us relishes the idea of being rained on.



Cat

You may of guessed that I'm down again. Went through some more pain and going to continue with sign language and us myspace to to find people in my area and go out and see them.  I have no disires as to where I live, what I want to do with myself, find a guy, nothing and I don't understand that.  I only seem to want to make other people laugh and be happy.

DayQuil to get me through the day, NyQuil at night (not all the time, though).  I also drank a lot of herbal and green teas.

Man,What a day it was yesterday.The boss was relentless because inspection came and he kept getting getting on my back about putting the carts in order and he tells me I'm not doing my job and I tell him that sometimes here I feel I'm in a rush and Pathmark is a very hectic busy place so I feel I'm rushed once in a while,And also it was pouring rain so that caused most of the problems.

I love Joel McHale! He's my favorite of all The Soup hosts since Greg Kinnear.  I never thought anyone would be as funny as he is, but Joel's good!  I hope he was a nice guy when you met him.  It's sad when you meet someone like that and they're not nice like you'd hoped they'd be.

that's the point I was thisclose to him but didn't get to meet him he got rushed away... I was close enough to shake hands with him...

if it helps he was nice to the people before me who got a chance to interact with him... it wouldn't have been so bad if there were others waiting but I was the last one so Im thinking one more minute wouldn't have hurt their precious schedule....whatever...

he's very tall...

Community is kind of fun but a bit uneven... I'm going to give it a chance tho and I'm hoping it finds a following because if it becomes popular or well rec'd then there will be another event for it and I will get another chance at meeting Joel.

Last night was CBS night and it was all about Medium....

I got pics with everyone in the cast except Patricia Arquette who was avoiding the crowds like crazy.... (and I didn't get a pic with the guy who plays Det. Lee Scanlon) 

I got pic with Sofia (she was also in My Sister's Keeper) she's very nice
the kid who plays my fav- Bridgetter (Maria Lark)
the twins who play the youngest child
and I got a pic with Jake Weber and Miguel Sandoval (Joe Dubois & DA DeValos)

and I got a pic with the Real Alison Dubois and her family.


Oh and I met the guy who draws Johnny Bravo and he drew me a Bravo pic and took a pic with me and my friend.

I'll probably check out Community at least once...so you didn't even get to talk to him? I thought maybe you just didn't get a pic.  I hate it when their "handlers" tell them it's time to go and they just follow like a zombie and do what they're told.  He seems cool though, so if you get to meet him again you can tell him you're mad at him for standing you up last time you saw him...that'll strike up an interesting conversation!  ;)

As for me:  I've been fighting a cold this past week.  Some days I feel better then others.  Today is one of my bad days, I feel so drained.  I was planning on doing laundry, and I'm not sure that I could make it up to the second floor then down to the basement dragging the laundry bag behind me.  Not that energetic.  I've also lost my SIMS 3 disk, it's probably amongst my hubby's computer desk stuff.  I just am waiting for some kind of energy bolt to strike so that I can get started on stuff I need to do.  Blah.

Went to the State Fair and "worked" the booth for Vermont Freedom to Marry-which this year was mainly to say "Thanks". Just like last year, there really wasn't much in the way of "work" to do. There was only one person who came up while we were there. But, we had a nice chat with the guy who "worked" the booth with us. After, we walked around the fair. We stopped and talked to the "teabag" party booth. The guy impressed both of us with his knowledge about Labor History-and of course Carlos was in his glory having a wonderful conversation. (Actually, we think he was more of a Ron Paul supporter than a "Teabagger".) When we were ready to leave, we shook hands and exchanged names. Come to find out, he met Carlos a long time ago and he said, "You changed my life." He was trying to get credit for some course he took and Carlos had to validate whether he was knowledgeable in the subject (which he was). The guy told us that he then went on to law school and became a lawyer. I thought it was so cool how my husband had touched someone like that. The guy said, "I thought you looked familiar."

We looked at some of the photos. Mine are just as good as some of them-and some of them even better. And I have no idea who did the judging because the ones with ribbons weren't all that-and some that were really good, didn't have ribbons.  ???  I'm thinking, maybe next year, I should submit a few of my photos.

After a quick look around the fair, we went downtown. There was a new/old Chinese restaurant that we wanted to try. (It was an old one under new ownership. Don't know how the old one survived for more than 40 years or so because I went to it ONCE a long time ago and it was basically  8-P so I never went back. Carlos also told me that he want to it ONCE. ) A few doors down from it, Carlos went into a frame shop which surprised me. The owned said, "Hi, Charlie." I was wondering who he was. Then he looked up and realized that it was Carlos' ex-son-in-law. We talked for a bit. He asked us about Andy.  :\'( :\'(  (For those of you who don't know, this was the guy who dropped Andy off at our house.) He said that he thinks about him from time to time. He also said that he sells other people's photos. That is an idea. Maybe I will put a few of my photos in there. What harm could it do? Of course, if I sell one-will that make me a professional?

Then it was on to dinner. The new ownership was so much better. The food (which was Chinese & Vietnamese-we tried the Vietnamese stuff) was VERY yummy. We were the only ones in there since it was only something like 4:00. Had excellent service-except for the fact that he forgot to give us utensils. lol. It was kind of hard to eat soup without a spoon. lol

After, we went to Sears to pick up our new range hood. YAY!! Then it was time to come home.  :)



Cat

Patti- feel better soon!

Cat - sounds like a good, full day... glad the food was good and yes- if you sell a pic- you will be a professional...and yes you should enter some photos next year.

Sometimes that does happen....
Met Chris Sarandon......He acted like He was VERY disinterested in being at the convention...
He was at another one about a year & a half later...a Friend wanted to get an autograph...I told Him "Don't bother He was a real D@#k the last time I met Him"
Sarandon heard Me & said "When was I a D@#k to You?"...I told Him....Then He apologized ...He gave My Friend to autographed pics free.......

All day yesterday, Carlos has been feeling down in the dumps because of one of his daughters (which is a LONG story-he is trying to work things out with her but doesn't know if it will happened). Then, last night he got a phone call from granddaughter #2. She just basically talked his ear off. At one point, he gave the phone to me. I couldn't understand half of what she was saying but she was just jabbering on and on and on. It was a good thing she was doing all the talking because I don't think I could have talked because I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. Carlos did talk to his daughter (not the one he is having problems with) & son-in-law which just boosted his spirits. We now have a sure cure for depression-talk to granddaughter #2.  ;D ;D ;D

Dentist this morning for her to fix my jacked up teeth.  She fixed a crack in one of my molars that has been there for freakin' ever.

Gotta leave here at about 4:30 to get to the hospital for the Lap Band seminar.  Kind of nervous about it and impatient.  I want it done like yesterday. :P

I thought I was aggravated earlier, I'm really aggravated now. It was bad enough that freakin' Obama
decided to show up in Philadelphia, and block all major roadways because of his motorcade, at rush hour
but the reason he was here was for a damn fundraiser for Arlen Spector. It took me an extra hour to get
home from work because of a fundraiser for a lost cause? arghhh!

If it makes you feel any better, I have zero comments on my soundclick page.  I can see that a couple of my songs made the top how ever many and I have 8.000 some views. You'd think someone could have said something about something.  One of the reasons I stopped writing parodies was lack of and a couple of times, no comments.  No one says anything to me at youtube either.

I am sorry to hear that. If I had accounts with either of those sites, I would make some comments for you. The thing is with Flickr, I have been promoting my photos-putting them into groups so many people can see them. Some groups have a "Post 1, Comment on 5" rule. You would think that I would get a couple. I know there are people who are looking at some of my photos. There is one that has over 800 hits to it (but only 26 comments and 7 favored).

Anyway, karma to you.

Boy what a day today was,In the store Pathmark had that 77 cent sale on specific items and it was crazy inside and outside.  :o

My uncle came out of his surgery very well today.  They took the upper part of one of his lungs and also a lymph node out but it looks like the cancer has not spread any.  I am SO very thankful.

I had a great time in LA... Busy Philipps (who was in freaks and geeks and on Terminator the Sarah Conner Chronicles - as the pregnant neighbor) she remembered me from the Judd Apatow event back in April!

I also got pics with Julie Bowen, Patricia Heaton and Sonja (something or other) who played Penelope on Lost and is now in Flashforward.

I'm very happy to hear that it went well, but sorry to hear that they had to remove some lung.  Sounds like he is going to be ok though, which is the most important part.



Work has been crazy and I STILL don't have my laptop back (don't even think Sam's had a chance to look at it), but other than that, things are good.  Today was the Vendor Show.  Companies that do business with the university come and show off their products.  They usually give away pens, bags or some other small item (not all do, but most).  It's like Halloween for adults.  ;)  There are usually raffles where you put in tickets, but they did it differently this year using bingo.  Don't think I have much chance, but I did it anyway.  There also weren't as many individual raffles from the vendors as there were last year.  Think it is a sign of the times (Michigan's unemployment rate is the highest in the country at 15.2% and is expected to hit 15.8)

He was.  Although I don't think it was an excessive amount of smoking.  He lived a couple hours away from me so I'd only get to see him and his family every couple months or so.  Now we just have to get my mom fixed up (she is desperately needing her gall bladder taken out.  It's been bothering her since before her heart surgery last Christmas, but the heart surgery was more urgent so they put off the gallbladder surgery.)  The time has come for her to get it done though since she's been getting sick every day now lately.  I told her she'll feel better afterwards (I know I did when I had mine taken out about 4 years ago). 

My uncle came out of his surgery very well today.  They took the upper part of one of his lungs and also a lymph node out but it looks like the cancer has not spread any.  I am SO very thankful.


That's wonderful news, Patty.  I hope he'll have a speedy recovery!  :)

Our modem died yesterday.  Phined AT&T who insisted it was the power lead.  Doesn't explain why some of the LEDs were lit  :-\\

Anyway it was going to cost around $65 plus postage for a new modem from them (the cheapest postage, $9, got it here next Friday at the earliest) so I went to Best Buy.

Thanks, anabel!  And yes, I'm feeling much better!   :)  :)


Great!! (Sorry I'm late in replying to this, but I've been absent from this thread lately.) I'm happy 4 ya.

Things are not so well with my dad, though; he seems to have caught my mom's cold over the weekend, as he has been coughing and blowing his nose this week. He even stayed home from work yesterday (Wednesday) because he was so sick. My mom has been getting better, though. And she enjoyed her class reunion last weekend, too. :)




When I was a kid, my family used to go to this Chinese restaurant that served some really awesome stuff...years later, the ownership changed and the food went from awesome to awful!   :(

that sucks. It's too bad they can't maintain the integrity of a restaurant's food when the ownership changes hands.

Don't worry,things will look up. :)

I'm getting excited.  We leave 2 weeks from today for our weekend away.  I think I have just about everything worked out, just need to buy tickets.  Micah has decided shopping, etc. on Saturday and the museum on Sunday.  The return train ticket has gone up no matter when we leave and it looks like the Sue exhibit closes at 3, so we should be able to make Union Station by 4:45 (unless they have changed times, will look when I book the train tickets).

I don't even think the prof read anything I turned in.... she remembered me from when I was full time student film major and when I turned in my final early she told me she remembered my writing from years before. I said- please take into consideration that I haven't written film theory in years and she said "believe me I'm sure its better than what I've been reading so far"  8)

As for me, my arms are SOOOOO sore. I started a new routine Arms & Abs of Steel yesterday.

I did it again today. What a killer. I hope it works.


Today is Apple Fest in the park. We will probably take a walk over after my hair dries (since it isn't even a block from here-I hear the music from it as I am typing this).

James had a soccer match this morning.  He played a good game, but his team lost the match.  The goalkeeper appeared afraid of the ball at times.

Elizabeth is playing soccer at the moment, then Dai is taking her and some friends to ice-skating.

I am taking James to get his hair cut.  Last week I wanted to take him to get it done on Saturday but he insisted it was fine.  Dai offered to take him on Sunday when he got his hair cut but James didn't want to.  This morning he demanded we took him because his hair is "much too long" !  ::)

Man,I can't believe it,I have carpal tunnel syndrome,just a couple of days ago I had some slight pain in my wrist and I was asking my father what it was and he has it too but he's on the computer almost all day and I'm not on the computer as much as he is.Anyone have suggestions on what to do? Maybe try a cold/hot compress,maybe some ice cubes? It's not that bad but I'm going to try to take it easy.

Congratulations Q, I'm very proud of you!

Howard, stop playing strip poker online?  ;) 
Nah, sorry I have no solutions for you.  I have problems with my knees and usually a hot bath will help along with an Ibuprophen.

there are other ways to get carpal tunnel besides being on the computer a lot.  ;) 

I had it- had to have surgery... before that I was taking lots of anti inflammatories

But I don't want surgery and taking aspirin won't help for me.I put some cold ice and it helped a little,maybe I'll try a hot compress and see if that'll work.

Howard carpal tunnel is not just from computers.  A Beautician, Barber, Painter, Surgeon or anyone else who works with there hands all the time can obtain carpal tunnel.  One can get carpal tunnel from any repetitive use of the hands....  AND FROM THAT STATEMENT I just realized I should not go any farther! :-X

Well the Dairy Foods and Dairy Cattle Judging competitions are over! No more 7 am practices and no more eating cheese on a daily basis, and spitting out bad tasting milk.  We got silver in Dairy food and a Bronze in Dairy Cattle (but we got first place team in the Pedigree field).  Not bad for the first time we have had students interested in doing the competition.  But I am exausted!  We had to leave for competition after the Football game Friday (which meant we did not get to hotel till midnight) competition started at 7:30 and did not get back home till 5:00

- I came home and crashed.  Glad to be home with my family today!

The kids just had to tell the difference between 20 different types of cheeses by taste, texture, smell and look

Monteray Jack
Muenster - which is an all time fave of most
Colby
Brick- which is a fave of mine
Sharp Cheddar - which is  :P to mee
Med. Cheddar - again not a fave of mine
Mild Cheddar - still :P
Brie - LOVE IT (at room temp)
Gouda - LOVE IT
Provolone - yummy
Mozzerella - usually yummy
Cream Cheese - neh
Blue Cheese - some are definitely better than others
Swiss - only good on a ham and swiss - or rueben
Romano -neh
Parmesan - meh
Fresh Mozzerella - good
Roquefert - some good
Feta - like it in salads
American - BLAH
Chevre - not bad with fruit

Tis alright, my mind is on vacation.  I have plenty of cheese in the house now.  But hopefully I can eat it in smaller portions.

Oh, Q, I wish there were something I can do.  Seems ridiculous that urgent care wouldn't see you when that is their function by definition.  I hope they get the problem fixed quickly and painlessly.

Got a weeks work.  I went to the hall and a call came in.  One week over at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum where they had the big art heist 19 years ago, still unsolved.  It is a fantastic museum, still hoping the pictures are found, but it doesn't look good

SSSSLLUUUURRRRPPPP!!!!  Yummy, yummy!  ;D

Hope your father feels better soon!  And I'm so glad your mother had a great time at her reunion, too!   :)

An update: my dad is beginning to feel better. Still a little congested. Also, my mom isn't totally better, since she has been coughing for the past couple of days, but both my parents are starting to get better. I, for one, am just glad that I haven't been sick at all lately. In fact, I've been quite healthy this year. :)


Also...with regards to that "Station Fire" that began 3 weeks ago...it is now expected to be fully contained by tomorrow.

Very sorry about your kidney stone and that you were in so much pain Q.  Glad that you are somewhat better now.  If you need anything, I am just an e-mail away.  :-*

Thanks again.

feel better soon snoz

Just got back from the U2 concert.  Snow Patrol were playing support.  I only know one of their songs.  :-\\

U2 had a great stage set-up.  They played a good set, though there were three or four songs we didn't know at all.  Bono got a bit too political for my tastes near the end.

Thanks again.

I am now home. Still a little high. Very nauseous. And minus one kidney stone.

I had a kidney stone operation once, they zapped it. So painful. I got an injection of morphine before hand, and it did NOTHING to take away the pain.
My nurse at emerg said that kidney stone pain is worse than labor pain (She's had 2 stones and 3 kids...stones were much more painful)
You will feel better soon!
