Something About Nothing ... #12

[Mrs bluer101]

UO already sent me a warning.


Seeing DW does not know how to upload photos I will post this. My inlaws got a new girl yesterday. DW will come by to fill in the rest, lol.

I feel bad for UO in July. Lol

Why do I need to load pictures when I have you.
She is a little angel for now. 8 weeks old lab mix. She is terrorizing DS today. He went over to my parents house to play with her. I think we are in trouble he will want one soon. Lol

Apparently I've been stealing internet for a year and half......

We upgraded back in December 2014 because I was barely able to do business once I got lots of new neighbors. Apparently shortly after it disappeared from our bill. I haven't had a problem since then so when I called today they politely informed me that I don't have internet. Which isn't true... I do. They show record that we have a modem, but we haven't been paying for it. OOPS! Guess I either have to start paying for it or deal with the problems. Problem is I think the modem is going bad and I have to switch it out with them! lol

it's ok for your son to want a puppy.

better he ask for that instead of a brother or sister.


i think it is in all marriage contracts that the other person is responsible for posting all pictures so you don't have to put for effort in learning how to do it.
this gives you more time to enjoy life and long bubble baths.


btw, how is your mom doing now?

learn to live with the off and on internet service.

pirating someone else's internet time is more fun and cheaper.

Reporting in:

How's this for a bad news/good news/bad news/good news day:

We've been smelling a faint odor of natural gas in our lower parking lot. Finally called the gas company today.

Bad news: our gas line, installed in 1939, is leaking.

Good news: it appears to be leaking (slowly) only in that lot, not in the yard or in the house. Nothing is in danger unless it starts leaking towards the house - they then shut the gas off.

Bad news: the entire line must be replaced.

Good news: for years, we've been paying for line insurance. It should not cost us anything.

Possible bad news: if they can't push the new line (1" plastic) through the existing line (1.25"), then they have to dig up the yard. That would be bad - through a picket fence, a peony flower bed, a flagstone fire pit area, a small walkway with steps, and a second flower bed near the house.

Final good news: the leak is so slow they were able to turn the gas back on until the repair guys show up tomorrow, so no cold showers.

Weirdly cool news: I have "do not cross" yellow tape now around my lower lot. I don't know why I think that's cool, I just do. They put it up so no one would pull into the lot and maybe spark something.

Here's the prohibited section:


If they have to dig it will follow the yellow dash on the lawn from the street to the house, right through the fire pit patio. This would not be good.



Can't wait for tomorrow - either more good or bad news.

 

[macraven]

good thing you didn't do any bonfires as a weenie roast or making smores in the lower parking lot....


yellow banners are kewl.
the neighbors will go nuts wondering when the digging begins if they are looking for bodies.


you have a more interesting life than i do.
but, i am not jealous at all.

Yea, we've had the "bodies" comment several times already. Cop show influence, I guess.

 

[macraven]

i watch those shows late at night.
see yellow banner tape and it's always due to a buried body...

that story line is more interesting then a gas leak one.
with the exception of someone throwing a lighted match down inside the zoned off section of yellow tape.


stock up on marshmellows, graham crackers and chocloate squares.
you just never know when it will come in handy......

CBS, We had the same thing, also had insurance, but we had our driveway and some lawn dug up to put the new line in. Got a new driveway from it. Then, still smelled gas at the end of the driveway. After years of complaints, gas company put new main lines in and new vents. Dug up our street for weeks. Happy, no smell for several years now.

After that rip the trees out and toss on the road and take down wires storm, the sunset was as cool as the temp. Had to have a jacket on. Liking it though. Thankfully, we did not lose power.

Lucky TinyD. Guess now need to pay for internet. My kids always moan how slow ours is. To bad, I get first dibs. Those online games are hogs.

Aww, such a cute puppy for Bluer's in laws. Labs have such a kind personality. She will be loved.

 

[keishashadow]

patted GD on head and said c'ya Friday. school let out really early this year here for some reason, full week before memorial day. thinking it was few snow days to make up.

i'm certifiable. Got talked into going to WDW mid August for 4 nights with jr & said GD. Got that bad boy planned in less than a day, getting good at those last minute trips. Spirit/Allegiant/Frontier coming to town has turned into a curse lol. I gotta stop opening those emails that scream $38 fares.

No one told me that 50 is when you are over the hill to do rides at the darkside

Just read the thread about seniors going to the parks

Someone made a comment that 50 or 83 is the same situation when going to UO as there is not much they can do

Yes I am over 50 and had no idea I couldn't do the coasters.... Lol
That thread made my day!

Now I have an excuse not to ride RRR with Bluer

pass the Geritol

I feel bad for UO in July. Lol

lol, could be worse, imagine if they sent u a bill for all those months! ouch for the burns.

Oh man I would have fun with that - and in fact did only it was a neighbor. When we first moved in our neighbor had a landscape feature in his yard that looked as if he'd buried a body there. After we became good friends my DH started commenting on that-so neighbor decked it out as a grave for halloween! Had a few other neighbors ask if it was real after that...LOL.

and totally jealous of the new furbaby!! how cute!

Got oldest DD all registered for school in the fall-she is now officially a Razorback. She really enjoyed orientation (these early sessions are for Honors college kids). Met with the study abroad advisor and is hoping to do Spain next summer and possibly a Disney internship next fall. We will see. U of Ark apparently has a ver very very generous donation that allow multiple funding/grants to students to study abroad. Good excuse to plan a trip!

Must sleep tonite

 

[macraven]

Are you going to celebrate your bd at the motherland this August ?

Be sure to get your bd button and card from Mickey

HAHA YOU're so funny.. why would you say that!!! Luckily the business pays for it either way.

I think I probably would if I didn't have a business to run. It's pretty annoying to update 18 houses of rates when the internet drops each and every time you click "save"

Today was MUCh better than yesterday. No incredibly grumpy people or accidents on my part. I even made some delicious olive garden copy cat breadsticks. YUM!

 

[macraven]

MonyK I bet you are glad daughter is registered and all set for college now

How far of a drive for you in taking her to school?
I only had one that took me 5.5 hour drive one way
The others were 4 hours and another was 2 hours
I spent many years of my life driving back and forth to colleges
Don't miss it at all now

 

[macraven]

Came back to turn off the lights
It's bedtime now and soon the morning shift will be getting up ...

So glad I don't work anymore
No more day job that interferes with my crazy sleep schedule

 

[Bluer101]

I'm here.

 

[Lynne G]

The fun of retirement. No early mornings unless you want to. Not me yet.

Good morning Mac. Morning crew here.

It's Thirsty Thursday.

Hope all have a great Thursday today. The sun is out, the sky is blue. It's 60 degrees and feels wonderful. Tree is dancing again, so the wind is still strong. It's that darn cold front that came after the storm.

Watching a soccer game from the nose bleed seats. Sporting events are so much money now. Oh well. I agree with my DS, it is nice it's not blazing hot, at least the stands won't be where everyone is sweating. I hope it stays clear, as once again that summer afternoon/early evening shower/thunderstorm may appear.

Hope your burn feels better TinyD. Burns are no fun.

Good morning Bluer!

 

[Monykalyn]

Mac-college is 2 hours from us - so not bad at all. Fayetteville's campus is beautiful. She got her dorm she wanted (freshman honors hall). She got the classes she wanted (has to test out of pre-calc so she can get into Honors Calc) mostly.

Off to work-45 min drive to this NH - gorgeous day but gonna be HOT!

Off tomorrow but work Saturday then next week is crazy. 4 weeks til Portland though!

Happy Thursday!

Good morning homies
Not been feeling too good since going to the dr and he added a extra dose of my diabetic pill and it makes me feel tired and dizzy and called and asked if it was normal and was told it would take some time to get use to it
