5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 7

[Juletime]

Its a good thing it is raining as I have a very long to do list for today. And of course we need the rain

 

[Juletime]

On the topic of the games. I dont know most of the ones mentioned (except of course Go Fish - along with War and Old Maid). The Left right center thingy sounds interesting.

My brain has a 3 rule limit, if there are more than 3 rules/instructions, I get lost

 

[Juletime]

My DH can be added to the list described above. He doesnt DIS and works in a few jokes about how much I am on line. The wierd part is in real life he is more of the social one than I am. And he is more of the comedian, although it usually takes folks a little bit to understand. Most folks here in Texas say he has a strong accent (which is in itself hilarious).

 

[Juletime]

Ok, I will go knock some things off my to do list then return. Bye for now.

DD: Why do dogs smell each others bums?
Me: That is kind of how they say introduce them selfs to each other, like a handshake
Followed by long back/forth on forms of communication other than speaking.

Easy answer....get this book at the library:

Happy Sunday All! That is the only sun we are seeing Texas. It is still raining cats and dogs....Speaking of Dogs..

DD and I saw The Shaggy Dog movie yesterday. It is a cute light comedy. However, DD is into asking LOTS of questions. Sometimes, I just cant figure out the best way to answer. So here is an example of our conversation in the car on the way home from the movie.

DD: Why do dogs smell each others bums?

I always thought it was a contest to see whos nose is the coldest.......

Ok, going to read HP and the OOTF to the kids....

OOTF? And you homeschool?

 

[whnim64]

Morning all. BOy I feel like a dummy, I don't know any of the games you all were talking about! You all were busy last night after I went to bed.

I don't know the games, either. Played Phase 10 when it first came out years ago, but couldn't tell you anything about it, now. Same with euchre; been decades since I've played. Is that the one with left and right bower?

 

[ohiominnie]

OOTF? And you homeschool?

HA HA HA. I thought you were posting a "what in the world is HP and the OOTF" kinda question!!!

But no, you got me!!!!

It's JKRowling's newest book...Harry Potter and the Order of the Firefly.

Don't you have that one yet?????

It's good!!

I love Harry Potter...where can get the Order of the Firefly book?

It's funny when I read that yesterday, I didn't even notice the typo. I'm not a good proof-reader. My husband is the king of finding written mistakes. Sometimes after he points them out to me, I still don't see them. So don't feel bad about your typo.

 

[TiggerInNY]

Any s around??

 

[TiggerInNY]

Let's see if I'm good enough for a TOP!!

 

[TiggerInNY]

Oh yeah!!! Where is everyone?

LOL! I deal with the same thing with Erin. She's used to watching movies at home, where she feels free to talktalktalk. Taking her to a theater is an interesting experience.

Talk about how to answer questions, though... Erin asked to watch Gone with the Wind this week (and weekend - that's one LONG movie!). Trying to put the Civil War and the movie's other topics and issues into language both understandable and appropriate for a 5 year old was a challenge.

I'd rather she stick to Disney movies for the time being, but her tastes are apparently a little ahead of her years. Her other fave these days is HP and the GoF. Oy...

I use them for work. And hooboy do I have the work this weekend! One of the main utilities a laundry/drycleaner needs is compressed air. And for a place on the scale of the one I'm engineer at, http://www.zengelercleaners.com , it's a big deal. And because we run 6 days a week, My only window to replace any vital equipment is Saturday afternoon/Sunday. So I have to deal with things like this:

This is the old setup. To give you a sense of scale, the air compressor on the left is a little under 3 ft tall. it draws almost as much power as an average house to run. We used to have two of those, but the one on the right(behind the green beam) is a temporary replacement for one that catastropically destroyed itself.

The same room as of last night about 9pm. I've removed the temporary one, washed the room down a bit and reinstalled the one that used to be on the left into the spot on the right. That thing has to be at least twice or three times my weight too so it's not easy to move around either.

Now this is what's getting installed today. The ones pictured before make an inordinate amount of noise when they're running, this model will run quiet enough that people will be able to hold a normal conversation standing right next to it. Which is good because that doorway on the left is my office/workshop, which is right next to where the air compressors are. This little bugger runs a little over $10k, and does draw more power than the average house (125 amps), so I have to run new electric to power it besides just making the connections to what's there.

The above is why I tell people one of the main focuses for a vacation for me is to rest and heal. I mean that literally, to a point. It's a rough job sometimes.

Looks like you and DH will have lots in common he does stuff like that, or should I say these days just supervisors his guys doing stuff like that!!!

 

[itdjbw]

If you figure out how to do that, could you please let me know. I have two of the biggest pack rats on the face of this earth!

We have 4 pack rats here so my kids come by it honestly!!! I just went thru all DD shoes, she gets that fetish from MIL and got rid of a whole bag, tidied the shoe rack in the garage too and even threw out some stuff, it was a start but I have tons more to go thru!!!

Well, just do what the guy who lived across the street from us did. He painted his living room but painted AROUND everything. Then he moved out and a new single mom with a premie moved in. And there was the room. Painted tan except where the entertainment center, couch, recliner and bookcase had been. In all of those places it was bright contractor paint white!

Poor thing...had a new premie. Mom herself had almost died before/during birth (she was in a coma for a week then they took the baby C-section) She came out of the coma a couple weeks later. In the meantime her parents had moved her into this new house.

Course, this poor painting neighbor was also the one who hung a ceiling fan in the living room right into the ceiling....not into any joists or whatever. So the thing fell about 8 months after this new mom moved in.

Oh the neighbor stories we could tell!!!!

Don't you wonder what makes some people tick!!

Good morning, all. Been one heck of a morning here so far. Poor Erin seems to have caught that NASTY stomache bug that's been going around, and... well, let's just say I'm REALLY glad she seems to be feeling better. Ugh...

Reading last night's posts about the DHs that are, well, different than us social beings were like looking in a mirror. Jim got a really funny look on his face yesterday when I told him about finding this group, like, "Oh, geez, what is she doing now?" And when I showed him the fish extender, he totally didn't get it. (But it did think the write on board is a good idea - progress!). But I know once we get there, he'll be fine and get into it.

Erin, on the other hand, wants to know if I've found her any friends yet. What a cutie...

So enjoy your Sundays, all! I'm off to do MORE laundry!

--Samantha

DH is doing laundry here in between putting together his motor bike as the weather is starting to warm up and he doesn't want to miss the rides with the guys!!!

 

[itdjbw]

Looks like I am having my own little posting party here!!

 

[itdjbw]
